![]() In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, our analysts have researched, evaluated and tested hundreds of small appliances in the last decade alone, including microwave air fryer combos, built-in microwaves and of course countertop microwaves. Countertop microwaves do not require any special installation, can be moved around easily without sliding around on your countertop and are generally affordable. This versatile appliance is easy to use and provides fast results - whether you need to defrost chicken in a pinch, soften brown sugar that has gone hard or whip up a quick and delicious microwave mug cake. It also comes in several finishes so can really be purchased to match your kitchen and décor.A countertop microwave is designed to fit nicely on your kitchen counter, in your dorm room or next to your desk at work. You could also fit a standard 5-quart Dutch oven in this machine, if you wanted to. ![]() The oven will also fit standard 9x13 casserole dishes and a quarter sheet pan which gives it versatility to cook many things. Like the original Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer, it comes with a 13-inch nonstick pizza tray, wire rack, broiling rack, 9 x 13 enamel roasting pan, air fry basket and crumb tray and has additional accessories for purchase: bamboo cutting board, pizza stone and pizza crisper pan. It has a spring-loaded door, which takes a minute to get used to, but then is a nice feature. This did every task perfectly and in a short amount of time. This model does a preheat cycle for most settings which is an additional step and takes a few extra minutes, but it adds a level of precision in the cooking not seen in many of the other machines. The rack levels are printed right on the door for ease of use. The digital interface makes it an intuitive machine with 13 preset functions including air fry, slow cook, roast, broil, bake, cookies, pizza, toast, bagel, reheat, proof, dehydrate and warm. While the original Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is a more mid-sized machine at a lower price point, we found in testing the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is worth the extra money and space it occupies. Plus, their price tag is comparable to some budget-friendly air fryers, but the performance just isn't there. We've tried multiple models and don't feel they work nearly as well as a standalone air fryer or air fryer toaster oven.
