Breville Halo Flexi Digital Dual Air Fryer Oven, 11L, VDF138

The most practical thing about the Breville Halo Flexi VDF138 is not the dual-basket design itself — plenty of air fryers offer that — but the fact that both 5.5L compartments operate independently at different temperatures and timers simultaneously. That means chicken thighs at 200°C in one drawer and roasted vegetables at 160°C in the other, both finishing at the same time, without either compromising the other. For households that cook complete meals rather than just reheating leftovers, that independence matters more than raw capacity figures suggest.

Who Is This For?

This suits households of three to five people who cook from scratch regularly and feel the pinch of oven energy costs — the 2400W draw across both baskets still undercuts a full-sized electric oven significantly for shorter cook times. The five functions (fry, bake, grill, roast, reheat) plus the included large mesh tray give it genuine oven-replacement credentials for weeknight cooking. If you live alone or cook mostly for two, an 11L dual unit is more appliance than you need, and a compact single-drawer model will serve you just as well at lower cost.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the even heat distribution across both baskets and the clarity of the digital controls, which are considered more intuitive than comparable Ninja dual-drawer models. The most common gripe is the footprint — at 11L across two compartments, it occupies significant counter space and is notably wider than single-basket alternatives. A secondary frustration is that the baskets are not dishwasher-safe according to Breville's own guidance, which makes daily cleaning more of a chore than it ought to be.

The Deal

At £115.00 against a list price of £215.99, the saving is £100.99 — 47% off. Price history across four data points shows this is the lowest the VDF138 has ever been tracked, against a high of £215.99 and an average of £190.74, so you are genuinely below the typical selling price by a meaningful margin. The WATCH verdict from our tracker reflects that this price may not hold long. If you have been waiting for this model to drop, this is the moment to act.
