The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer (US model BOV860) was reported at $260, or $90 off its usual price, during Amazon’s Spring Sale in March 2025. That promotion has ended; the current price and availability have not been verified, so $260 should not be treated as a live offer. Engadget reported the deal in an article updated March 31, 2025.
What the $260 deal means now
The $260 figure is a dated price from the final day of Amazon’s Spring Sale in 2025, not a confirmed current price. Check the exact BOV860 listing before buying, and verify the seller, price, and availability at checkout. A listing for a different Breville oven—or a later sale event—does not establish that the BOV860 is currently discounted.
Which Breville oven was in the deal?
The deal concerned the US Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer, model BOV860. It is not the larger Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro, model BOV900BSS. Prices or deal history for the Pro do not confirm a price for the BOV860.
Breville lists 11 functions for the BOV860: toast, bagel, broil, bake, roast, warm, pizza, air fry, reheat, cookies, and slow cook. Its dedicated air-fry setting uses higher temperatures and what Breville calls super convection, or maximized airflow. These are manufacturer descriptions, not independent performance-test results.

What to know before buying
It combines oven modes with air fry
The BOV860 is a countertop oven with a dedicated air-fry function, rather than a single-purpose air fryer. Consider which modes you would actually use—such as toast, pizza, bake, or slow cook—when judging whether its combination of functions suits your kitchen.
Element iQ is Breville’s description of its heating system
In the BOV860 instruction book, Breville describes Element iQ as a system that directs power to heating elements as needed. That explanation is the manufacturer’s account; it does not by itself establish cooking speed, crispness, energy use, or reliability.

Check fit and replacement details
The manual specifies a 25-watt, 120-volt G9 bulb for replacing the oven light. It also describes an optional Breville bamboo cutting board and serving tray designed to fit on top of the oven. Confirm compatibility with the BOV860 and the details of any retail listing before ordering a bulb or accessory.

How to evaluate a current listing
- Confirm the product is model BOV860, not the BOV900BSS Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro.
- Check the live price, seller, availability, and any shipping or return conditions on the listing.
- Compare usable capacity and dimensions, cooking modes, air-fry or convection features, included accessories, replacement-part availability, and warranty against the alternatives you are considering.
- Treat the March 2025 $260 price as historical context, not proof that a current price is a good deal.
