Does this appliance do everything? (Sage/Breville Combi Wave)

Is This the Ultimate All-in-One Kitchen Appliance? 🍽️ | Sage/Breville Combi Wave Review
Say goodbye to cluttered kitchen counters! In this video, I’m reviewing the Sage Combi Wave (aka Breville Combi Wave)—a clever appliance that combines an air fryer, microwave, convection oven, and grill all in one sleek unit. 💡

Designed for commercial use but made for home kitchens, this combi oven promises big versatility in a compact form. But does it really deliver?

➡️ Chapters included so you can jump to the features or cooking results that matter most to you!

I’ll walk you through:

✅ What’s in the box & how to set it up

✅ A breakdown of its 6 cooking functions (Fast Combi, From Frozen, Air Fry, Oven, Microwave, Food Menu)

✅ Cooking tests with salmon, cookies, frozen chips, pastries & more

✅ My honest thoughts on what it does brilliantly—and where it falls short

✅ Plus, I’ll show you the hidden shortcut features, explain how the “A Little Bit More” button works, and share a few quirks you need to know before buying.

Really nice video as always Clara.
Those people who complain about appliances should consider those of us who are blind or visually impaired. The beeps are a good way to confirm that the button has been pressed. Sorry about that but it had to be said, will get off my soapbox now.

Very Accurate Summary😀 We have had one for years now. Used as a support for the air fryer and main oven. It is a great microwave, pretty good oven, and 'just about adequate' air fryer

[JH-zvlt]

Fantastic machine, results are perfect, it's a bit pricey but worth every penny.Purchased for a family member when his oven broke down. I have a huge double oven and haven't used it for over three years!

[Robert-hzhz]

Another Fantastic Video Clara, very informative and helpful 🥂

I've purchased the Combi to replace my microwave a few months ago. I love it! Made steak and green beans for dinner. So many functions I haven't used yet.

Back in the early 1990s we had a Sharp combination microwave with a convection fan oven and grill but we didn't know it at the time we actually had an air fryer back then 😂 and to be honest we were getting similar results to the air fryers of today but obviously it didn't cook the food as fast. Really interesting video and a great demonstration. Thanks.👍

[eileensatchell]

Thank you so much for your in depth presentation. This is a product I would like, but unfortunately do not need. 👏⭐️

[janetstanland]

I have had one for 4 or so years now and it is brilliant. I have hardly used my traditional oven since I got it 😊

[LizDenton-tekm]

There is so much info here that I glazed over part of the way through! What I have taken away from this is that it is complex and the airfryer system is more limited than we usually expect from an airfryer. I am sure the oven/grill/microwave functions are fine but I suspect that after the initial excitement, many of the functions would not be used much. I have a large Panasonic microwave/oven/grill unit that covers much of what this unit does and a Ninja Speedi to cover the rest of the functions.

thank you claire ❤too big for my kitchen 😂

[Macrogue]

Great review - subscribed! I have the Sage electric pressure / slow cooker and am very happy with that.
Thank you!

[dinodinosaur]

👏🏾 Thank you for your great presentations ... Do you think they will add a rotisserie to this product in the future?

[fieldkatz]

Clara, thanks for all your helpful videos. Can you recommend a multicooker that does NOT have PFAS or similar potentially toxic coatings?

[hazelmeldrum]

I had a combi microwave with grill, for many years and gradually realised I did not use most of the features . What I did find annoying was that adding sides to a meal, which I usually did in the microwave, I had to wait till the end. When I had to replace due to age I switched to a smaller one function microwave and an Steam air fryer which I could push back in the kitchen. .

[jonathanhayes]

Thank you very much for this excellent overview. I have a small air fryer that I don’t need to replace so the mediocre air frying function here isn’t an issue. I like the microwave functionality you showcased. I’m in the US and I love my Breville smart oven - just a fantastic, reliable product. But I’ve been thinking about getting rid of the Breville smart oven and the microwave and replacing it with this. The broiler/grill function in the smart oven is fantastic, whether you’re using it for toast or to reheat a pizza or char some vegetables to make a salsa. That funny little platform grill thing in the Combi looks pretty terrible. Could you say something about the strengths and limitations of the unit as a convection oven? Thanks!

[sadeekalazzawi]

Personally, I don't like having one device that does it all.
Because I don't think it will do everything 100%. like You gave it an 8/10.

So, for me, I have a the Compact Wave Soft Close and Joule Oven from Breville,
each one on its own, and they're both great. The company's products are great. I recommend them.

[MatthewArmstrong-ij]

Brilliant video as always !
The price is amazing definitely going to get one exactly what I have been looking for
Could you tell me the inside dimensions of the microwave, please?
Regards Matthew

Interesting. It is basically a more efficient and updated (read bloated) version of my Panasonic Slimline Combi (NN-CT5795). I bought, years back, a non-stick plate which heats up in the microwave and so often combine that will grill to cook things from frozen and have them crispy and perfect in minutes. A frozen Cornish Pasties from freezer to plate in just over 7 mins. I can do sausages like that too.

I don't need such an appliance atm, but good to know there is a drop-in replacement with extra bells and whistles should I need to replace mine.

Thanks for sharing. I do appreciate it.

[neilpreston]

Very interesting, I've been hoping something like this would come along when I'm next ready to change, does it steam cook like my Ninja Combi? Great review as always!

[DennisNowland]

I watched a program called the gadget show. And this appliance was compared to a cheap combination oven. What really struck me was this. The Sage took approximately 17 minutes longer to cook a chicken than the cheap competitor. But the people who were on the showan who owned a B&B said they would rather have the Sage even though it was so much more expensive because the flavour was so much better .In other words faster is not always better.
