Which is better for air frying?

The Pro. Its basket is larger and its two-speed super convection moves more air, so bigger batches come out crisper. The standard model air fries well but fits less at once.

Is the Pro worth the extra money?

Yes if you want to dehydrate, proof dough or cook for a family. If you mainly toast and air fry small batches, the standard model saves about $58.

Which one fits a small kitchen better?

The standard Smart Oven Air Fryer. It is roughly 18.75 x 12.6 x 10.6 in and 13 kg, against about 21.5 x 13.55 x 12.5 in for the Pro.

Can both dehydrate food?

Only the Pro has a dehydrate function, with a mesh basket rack and room for up to 4 trays. The standard model has no dehydrate setting.

Do both have an interior light?

The Pro does, and it turns on automatically at the end of the cycle. The standard model does not list an interior light.

Both are built to similar Breville standards, and neither maker publishes a lifespan figure. The Pro's larger cavity and extra elements mean more parts, but there is no data showing one outlasts the other.
