1. Sage/Breville smart oven air fryer – Best air fryer oven
If you’re in the US, you can buy this appliance under the Breville brand name. In the UK, it’s Sage.
The smart oven air fryer is a microwave-sized countertop air fryer oven with ten separate cooking functions: toast (6 slices), crumpet, grill, bake, roast, warm, pizza, air fry, reheat and slow cook. The model we tested is in a bright, brushed stainless-steel silver, although there are other colour options: there’s a choice of eleven in the US. It’s high quality and beautifully made and will be an aesthetic asset to your worktop, unlike many competing models.
It has an LCD display and button and dial controls. Inside the oven are three shelf heights and it comes with a set of high quality accessories: a 30cm/12in pizza pan, a wire shelf, a grilling rack, a roasting pan, an air-frying basket, and crumb tray.
But it’s when cooking that this appliance really shines, producing crispy and flavourful food. This may be down to the ElementIQ system, which uses a smart algorithm and sensors to control the temperature perfectly and evenly. You’re paying more for its high quality build and performance but if your budget can stretch to it, we think it’s well worth it.
