Score: 80/100Rankings
The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is a 13-in-1 countertop convection oven with a massive 1 cu ft interior and high-temperature capability up to 249 °C.

The Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT is a powerful 6-in-1 air fryer with EvenCrisp technology and a spacious 5.7 L capacity. Its heavier build and single-basket limitation may be drawbacks for users seeking portability or multi-dish cooking. Ideal for small-to-medium families who value versatility over compactness.

Professional reviewers praise the BOV900BSS for its class-leading 1 cu ft capacity, precise six-element Element IQ heating and the breadth of 13 preset functions, calling it the best in class for countertop convection ovens. They also note its large footprint and lack of a cool-touch exterior as notable drawbacks.
Everyday buyers consistently commend the oven's spacious interior, versatile preset menu and air-fry capability, often rating it highly for reliability. Common criticisms focus on its bulkiness, heavy weight, and the tendency of the exterior to become hot during operation.

“"impressive 16x12x7-inch interior for artisan breads"”
Professional reviewers praise the Vortex Plus for its higher maximum temperature, powerful 1700 W element, and the addition of a dedicated dehydrate program, positioning it as a technically superior option within its class. Safety certifications and the ClearCook and OdorErase features are also highlighted as differentiators, though reviewers note the heavier build and limited long-term durability data.
Everyday users commend the appliance for enabling healthier low-oil cooking, its generous 6-quart capacity, and the ease of use provided by preset programs and a compact footprint. Common concerns revolve around the single-basket limitation, the unit's weight, and the absence of extensive user feedback, which leaves some buyers uncertain about long-term reliability.
