Breville makes two popular countertop ovens with air frying: the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro (BOV900) and the smaller Smart Oven Air Fryer (BOV860). Both use the Element iQ system with five independent quartz elements, super convection, an LCD display and an interior light.
The real differences are size and two extra cooking functions. Here is how to decide.
Quick answer
Choose the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro if
you cook for a family, want to fit a 9x13 pan or a 14 lb turkey, or plan to proof dough and dehydrate fruit.
Choose the Smart Oven Air Fryer if
you have less counter space, cook for one or two people, and do not need proofing or dehydrating.

Size: the main reason to choose one over the other
The Pro's interior fits 9 slices of bread, a 14 lb turkey, most 9x13-inch pans and a 12-cup muffin tray. It can genuinely replace your main oven for most weeknight cooking.
The BOV860 is about 2.5 inches narrower and 2 inches shorter on the outside, with an interior that fits 6 slices of bread, a 13-inch pizza or a roast chicken. It is a better fit for smaller kitchens and households.
Cooking functions
Both ovens toast, bake, roast, broil, air fry, reheat, keep warm, make pizza and cookies, and slow cook. The Pro adds Proof, for rising bread dough, and Dehydrate, for dried fruit and jerky, for 13 functions in total.
Same core technology
Both use Breville's Element iQ system, which steers power between five quartz elements, plus digital temperature control and super convection that Breville says cuts cooking time by up to 30%. Both draw 1800 W and come with a 2-year limited warranty, so you are not giving up quality by choosing the smaller one.
Price check
Prices on these two models change often, and the larger Pro is sometimes priced at or below the smaller BOV860. Check both before you buy: if the price gap is small or reversed, the Pro is the easy choice as long as it fits your counter.
Our verdict
Choose the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro if you have the space: it does everything the smaller model does, adds proofing and dehydrating, and fits family-size meals. Choose the BOV860 if your counter is tight or you cook for one or two, since you get the same core technology in a smaller footprint.
