KitchenAid Dual Convection Countertop Oven Air Fry
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Breville BOV845BSS Smart Oven Pro is a 1800-watt convection countertop oven with Element IQ technology and ten preset functions, offering fast, even cooking for family-size meals. Its sizable footprint and weight, plus a hot exterior, limit suitability for cramped kitchens. Ideal for home cooks who need a versatile, full-oven replacement and have adequate counter space.
The KitchenAid Dual Convection Countertop Oven delivers full-size oven performance in a 1.08 cu ft footprint, featuring rapid pre-heat, dual convection, air-fry and a built-in probe. Its limitations include a relatively large countertop footprint and interior size constraints for very big pans. It is best for home cooks who want versatile, high-performance cooking in a compact but not ultra-tiny form factor.

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"”
“Even toasting without hot spots”
“quick preheating (<4 min to 350°F), spacious fit for 9x13 pans or 2 chickens, non-stick cleaning, and probe accuracy for meats”
Professional reviewers describe the KitchenAid Dual Convection Countertop Oven as a versatile, full-size oven solution for the countertop, emphasizing its 25 % larger capacity, rapid 4-minute pre-heat, Even-Heat dual convection, and the added convenience of a built-in temperature probe and 360° air-fry system.
Everyday users consistently praise the oven's fast pre-heat, generous interior that accommodates standard 9×13 pans, the non-stick interior for easy cleanup, and the precise temperature probe. The most common complaint centers on the limited space for oversized baking sheets or accessories, which some users find restrictive.
