Professional reviewers commend the Smart Oven Pro for its Element IQ® technology that ensures even heat distribution and its convection system that cuts cooking time by roughly 30%. They highlight the 10 smart presets and rapid 1800-watt preheat as standout features that make it perform like a full-size oven, while noting its sizable footprint and lack of a cool-touch exterior as drawbacks.
Everyday users praise the oven for delivering consistent, even results, especially for toast and pizza, and for its quick preheat and versatility that lets it serve as a full-oven replacement. Common complaints revolve around its large size and weight, occasional overheating on high settings, and the need to hand-wash some accessories despite dishwasher-safe claims.
“many call it a "full oven replacement"”

Professional reviewers praise the oven's commercial-grade five-element convection system, rapid preheating, and extensive function set that handles everything from rotisserie chicken to dehydrated snacks. However, they criticize uneven air-fry results, a loud 69 dB operation, and the appliance's large countertop footprint, noting that cleaning is cumbersome due to non-nonstick accessories.
Everyday users love the oven's ability to keep meats moist, bake large pizzas, and cook multiple dishes at once, appreciating the all-in-one convenience. Common complaints focus on its bulky size, noisy operation, difficulty cleaning, and occasional temperature overshoot, especially when using the air-fry mode.
