BrevilleThe Combi Wave 3-in-1: Air Fryer, Convection Oven & Inverter Microwave
Product details
Web ID: 10916789Great unit, works well but missing a trivet silicone foot
When I received my combo 3 in 1 microwave, it was immediately put to the test. It performed as advertised and cut down cooking time significantly with the combi cook mode. One thing is our trivet only had 2 silicone feet covers. We did not notice it for a few days as it was not being used. It’s a small thing but a hassle. Please ensure you check your packaging thoroughly.

Solid but…
Breville Combi Wave 3 in 1 Oven I’ve been using the Breville Combi Wave 3-in-1 Oven for about two months now. My initial order was returned due to a minor but noticeable defect—the letter “A” was missing in the word “Adjust” near the “Stop/Clear” dial. While this might seem petty, Breville’s reputation for top-tier products at premium prices set high expectations for flawless quality. Thankfully, King Arthur Baking Company handled the exchange promptly and professionally, even during their busy holiday rush, which I greatly appreciated. Size & Design The oven is larger than I anticipated and takes up a fair amount of counter space in my small kitchen. It’s a beautiful, well-crafted appliance with a soft-close door that I really like, though sometimes I forget and instinctively try to close it myself. The unit also emits a creaking or crackling sound as it cools, which can be a bit unsettling, making me double-check to ensure everything is okay. This wasn’t an issue with the first unit I received. Functionality & Usability This oven feels designed for heavy microwave users. Since I remodeled my 34-year-old kitchen and opted against a bulky over-the-range microwave, I wanted a versatile combo oven that could handle multiple tasks. After extensive research and watching countless reviews, I chose this model on sale through King Arthur Baking. A few notes from my experience: The sound and beep volumes keep resetting to higher levels despite following instructions to lower them—an annoying defect, but manageable since I often rely on audible signals when I’m in another room. There are stubborn stains on the interior walls that won’t wipe clean, which is disappointing. Pre-heating takes a bit longer than I expected, but it’s comparable to my traditional oven—my old toaster oven was faster though. The temperature presets jump in increments (350°F, 375°F, 400°F, 425°F, etc.), and I wish there were options to adjust in smaller increments for more precise cooking. The “Reheat” function only works in Microwave mode. To reheat in Oven mode, you have to manually guess the temperature and time, which isn’t ideal. The “A Bit More” button helps extend cooking time, but the oven doesn’t remember which mode you were using, so you need to be mindful to reset it accordingly. Toasting is tricky—I’ve only managed to toast one side properly so far, as fully toasted bread tends to be too hard to eat. The Food menu heavily favors microwaving first, which isn’t my preference. I wish users could customize combinations like microwave + oven, oven + grill, or microwave + grill. Protein weight presets don’t go below 8 oz., despite the manual indicating 4 oz. portions should be possible—smaller portion options would be a welcome addition. The Breville+Cooking app and recipe resources don’t support this specific model well, which is frustrating when searching for cooking times and recipes tailored to the Combi Wave 3-in-1 Oven. Overall This is a high-quality, well-built appliance with a lot of features, but it feels a bit more complex than necessary for my everyday needs (reheating coffee, making toast or bagels, cooking small portions of protein). If you do a lot of microwave cooking or want a versatile combo oven, it’s a solid choice. Just be aware of some quirks and the learning curve involved.

Frame Melted — Unsafe and Disappointing
I’m very disappointed with this microwave. It was expensive and only used for three years, yet the plastic frame has melted, making it feel unsafe to use. The one-year warranty is far too short for a product at this price. I expected much better quality and durability.

Three in one is convenient.
We moved and needed a second oven but didn't need anything big. We finally came down to getting rid of our microwave and adjoining it with the convection; the air fryer is new and we're glad to try it. It's not cheap but having three appliances in one is a great offset. We tried Breville a few years ago with a good coffee maker, then a toaster. Both have worked quite well and lasted so we took the jump to this three in one. Our only real complaint is that the instructions are somewhat 'weak'. A significant part of the instructions are the common warnings, beyond that it's mostly basics and we have to search to find answers. So far its performance has been excellent. And yes, we would buy it again.

3 in 1 is great. Was able to get rid of microwave. Air fryer is not as effective as my stand alone.
Three in one is fabulous

Non-functional
Doesn't work at all. Blown multiple outlets and fuses. Virtually anything I plug it into starts sparking. I no longer have working outlets in my kitchen.

Best Microwave w/ Combo options
We've been using the Combi Wave for a year and LOVE it. It took us a bit to break the microwave habit of cooking everything on high. Now I use all the options and it's work horse, strong and gentle for cooking up our X factor meals, melting chocolate chips, melting butter, reheating soups, and left over meals, and crisping up our air fryer foods, French fries, chicken strips and more! We are now able to safely dispose of our 11 year old air fryer that is well used. We also love the size, it's smaller and so nice to tuck into our "microwave garage".
