Sage Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro Review – 13-in-1 Countertop Oven Review UK 2026 — Worth It?

Sage (Breville in Australia and the US) builds kitchen appliances with a focus on precision and engineering quality, and the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is their flagship countertop oven. For anyone who air fries regularly, toasts daily and wants a capable compact oven, this single appliance can genuinely replace all three.

The 13 cooking functions are all useful in practice, not just on paper. The air fry setting delivers restaurant-quality crispiness that rivals or exceeds dedicated air fryers — Sage's Super Convection produces high-velocity hot air circulation that browns evenly and quickly. A basket of chips comes out genuinely crispy in under 20 minutes. Wings, vegetables, reheated pizza — all excellent.

The Interior Element IQ system is the engineering differentiator. Rather than simply maintaining a set temperature, it monitors the heat distribution and adjusts which elements are active to put the heat where it's needed. This results in more even baking and more consistent roasting than a standard countertop oven that just switches on a top or bottom element.

At 22 litres the capacity is generous: a 30cm pizza fits comfortably, a whole chicken roasts beautifully, and a full tray of cookies bakes evenly. For a small household or for supplementing a full-size oven, this is more than adequate.

The main trade-offs are size and price. The Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro takes up significant worktop real estate — it needs its own dedicated space. And it sits at the premium end of the market. But the build quality, cooking results and appliance consolidation justify the investment for serious home cooks.
