Breville BOV680BSS Smart Oven Air Fryer Compact, Brushed Stainless Steel

Users who love the Breville BOV680BSS tend to praise it as a versatile kitchen workhorse. Many describe it as something that basically replaces your whole oven for cooking , noting that it can fit baking pans and casserole dishes with ease. Fans also highlight that it is easy to use, great capacity, not over-engineered , and one enthusiastic owner says it kicks butt for anything I would need an oven/air fryer for .

Where the oven truly shines is in precision cooking, with users noting it is super precise and has great temperature control . It also offers more space than any other air fryer I've tried , making it a strong performer for toasting and baking. For everyday oven tasks, reviewers consistently find it great for everything else from toasting to baking .

However, the air fry function is a recurring source of disappointment. Multiple users agree it is not a great air fryer , with complaints that it doesn't air fry as fast and doesn't move air around as well as basket style units. The fan is loud in air fry mode , and one reviewer bluntly calls it a lousy air fryer , noting that it is not a traditional air fryer so that function isn't actually that great .

Maintenance is another area worth noting, as at least one user finds that clean up is hard , and a material concern was raised by a reviewer who pointed out that the interior has teflon , which may be a consideration for health-conscious buyers.

This oven is best suited for those who primarily want a compact, capable countertop oven for baking, toasting, and general cooking, and who see air frying as a secondary or occasional function. If dedicated air frying performance is your priority, the BOV680BSS is likely to fall short of expectations, but as a smart, spacious countertop oven it earns strong loyalty from its fans.
