We have reviewed many ovens. In fact, ovens are very commonly used kitchen appliances in our daily lives. There are many types of ovens on the market, and even the same brand will launch ovens with different functions. This time we found this oven from Breville. If there’s one thing that sets it apart from other ovens, it’s its functionality. As you might guess from its name, it combines an oven and an air fryer, which means you have two products at once. But its functions don’t stop there. It can bake bread, slow cook, bake, grill, bake, dehydrate, proof, and can even be connected to an APP for use.
I believe you will definitely doubt whether this is marketing rhetoric or real basis. We have made a detailed evaluation based on its design and functions. Let’s take a look.

The appearance design of the product still continues Breville’s classic all-stainless steel shape, which is very brand-recognizable. The inside of the oven has a non-stick coating, making it easy to clean even if oil is spilled on it. There is another fan on the right side of the oven to help circulate air inside. There is a visible light inside, which can be turned on through the control panel so that you can observe the internal situation at any time.
Compared to other ovens, this oven has a relatively small footprint, but its internal space is sufficient. The design of sliding doors and see-through glass allows you to see the baking conditions inside.
Although it only has one grill, the interior of the oven is equipped with racks of different heights, so you can bake at different heights according to your needs. The product’s operation page is also relatively simple, consisting of an LED display and a few buttons. Regardless of whether you have purchased Breville products before, these button operations are very intuitive.

It’s fully functional and feels great to use, it’s not just a marketing gimmick. And it can be linked to its APP Joule for use, which contains many recipes and can remind you of the operating time of the oven. Unlike other electrical appliance APPs, this one is very practical. In order to test its oven and air fryer functions, I used pizza and French fries for testing respectively. The inside of the oven has a concave surface, so the pizza can be easily placed inside. Place the pizza on the second level according to the height indication of the glass door, just select it and press start. The whole operation is very convenient. The pizza is baked just right, and the edges are crispy, but the fruit on the top of the pizza is not completely dehydrated, which still ensures the moist taste of the fruit.
The French fries are to test the function of the air fryer, because I also have a separate air fryer myself, and I often use it to bake French fries. The advantage of using an air fryer to bake French fries is that they have a crispy texture without being too greasy. I spread the frozen fries evenly on the baking sheet. After the time is up, the fries are a standard yellow color, just like the results from my other air fryers. It is a good confirmation that this product also demonstrates the capabilities of an air fryer.
After that, I also made air-dried fruits and vegetables, etc. without any failure. Its function is stable enough.
Features
Operability
The overall operability is strong, the functions are many and complete. The operation page is simple and easy to use, especially if you have purchased Breville products before. There are also special recipes on Joule’s APP that you can refer to, which will give you a detailed introduction to the ingredients needed and the baking time.
Cleaning
It’s like any other oven, the inside is relatively easy to clean. But because there is a non-stick coating inside, it avoids contact with metal substances. It is best to disassemble some accessories such as baking pans and wash them by hand.
Is it worth to buy？
Compared with other ordinary ovens, its functions are very innovative. If you want to have both an oven and an air fryer, then this product is perfect for you. It combines the features of both products very well. You can not only use it to ferment bread but also use it to make dried vegetables and fruits, and the APP adapted to it can maximize the function of the product. If you happen to need to buy an oven, this oven will be a very good choice.
