Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro or ...?

[Sid Post]

Specifically, model #BOV900BSSUSC at ~$400.  I am on my second Breville Smart Oven, I think it is a model 800 something.  I need to be able to cook 13" frozen pizzas which is a hard requirement.  I love being able to use a 13"x9" pan too.  I do not make toast, at least toast I am picky about, though I need something that will do a decent job on Bagels and English Muffins.

 

I have briefly considered the Ninja shallow toaster oven pizza cooker that folds up vertically but, it won't work for a roast so cutting up a whole chicken for it does not allow it to fit my lifestyle as a sheet pan chicken dinner option that would work with a nice beef roast.

 

The BSO model #900 seems to be a good option for me but, $400 is a lot of money to me as well.  So, I want to make sure I am not overlooking something that would work for me at a lower price or get something a lot better for a modest cost increase.

 

My main cooking with my current BSO is:

• Better quality Frozen pizzas, none of the cheap ~$5 Tombstones and similar pizzas
• Nice beef roasts
• Lots of chicken, whole, parts, and lots of frozen chicken options
• Baked potatoes, plain or loaded
• Casseroles of all sorts
• Tater tots, french fries
• Bagels and English Muffins

 

I do other stuff infrequently like cornbread muffins, cakes, brownies, and similar desert-oriented things.  I lack a full-size domestic oven right now as well so, whatever I have or get is used heavily since I can't cook everything in a skillet or pan, or use my wood fired Smoker for everything.

 

So, is the 900 series BSO the best option for me?  What other options should I look at?

 

TIA,
