1. Cuisinart TOA-70 Convection Toaster Oven AirFryer – Best Overall
Multiple features of the Cuisinart TOA-70 make it a must-have:
- There’s a never-ending list of pre-programmed functions. You can count push a button to cook a lasagna, air fry French fries, bake a pizza, and roast a whole chicken.
- Capacity to toast 6 pieces of bread
- Keep warm function.
Then comes the auto-shutoff function. It works based on information sent to it by an invisible yet handy pressure sensor and shuts down the unit when the pressure reading exceeds a safe limit.
Equally useful are the four dials on this model’s control panel.
- The two on the left activate the timer and set the temperature
- The third dial, on the right side, allows you to air fry, roast, toast, bake, warm, and broil your meals.
- The fourth dial turns the unit on and off
Pros
- Seven pre-programmed functions
- Can fit up to 3lbs of chicken at once
- Equipped with four easy-to-use dials
Cons
- Lacks a digital display
2. Breville BOV900BSS Smart Oven Air Convection and Air Fry – Best High-End
The Breville BOV900BSS, our favorite high end model, offers many outstanding features. One of particular note compared to most other toaster ovens is a light switch. Take a quick peek at your food without opening the door.

3. COSORI CO130-AO Air Fryer Toaster Oven – Most Versatile
Cosori has been well-known for years for its high-quality air fryers. This fryer/toaster combo has 12 preprogrammed settings. You’d have to have a really inventive mind to come up with a dish that this model cannot serve.
Here’s why we can say that with confidence.
Does your toaster oven have options to dehydrate or ferment your food? This one does.
Cosori further sweetens the deal by equipping this model with an LED display and an interior light.
They’ve also included useful accessories like a removable crumb tray, rotisserie fork set, rotisserie handle, and more. What more can you ask for?
Pros
- 12 preset cooking functions
- Polished LED display for easy reading
- Comes with loads of accessories
Cons
- The fan can get noisy at the 2nd speed setting
4. Ninja SP101 Foodi 8-in-1 Digital Air Fry Toaster Oven – Highest Rated
Ninja has made the most of this air fryer’s stainless steel construction by decorating it with well-rounded corners and a digital control pad.
The digital control pad, with its protruded buttons, makes operating this model a cinch. There are 8 cooking options a dial with buttons beneath it to activate the timer, set the temperature, turn on/off the inner light and turn off the fryer.
Ninja has equipped this model with flip-away functionality too. You can close it like your laptop when you feel the need to clean surfaces beneath and around it. Also on offer is a removable crumb tray that does what its name implies. And you can also access this model’s back panel for deep cleaning.
Pros
- Can stand on the side when not in use
- Easy to use digital controls
- Eight cooking functions
Cons
- Cooking times are longer than what’s stated in the manual
5. Instant Omni Plus 19-QT Air Fryer Toaster Oven – Most User-Friendly
Part of the reason why this model is ultra user-friendly has to do with the simple, one-dial function. Just dial in your cook and fire it up.
Unlike its analog counterparts, this bright, big character, digital air fryer toaster oven won’t force its users to guess the cooking option they may have activated or the time/temperature setting.
Instant also touts the EvenCrisp technology that’s said to drive air flow top down for a perfect golden finish and crispy, tender results every time!
Pros
- A lot of dishwasher-safe accessories included
- Single knob functionality
- Built in rotisserie feature with included accessories
Cons
- Minimal 1-year warranty
6. Black+Decker TO3265XSSD Extra Wide – Best Budget
This, quite simply, is the cheapest option on our list. However, with 5 cooking functions and a larger than average basket that can hold up to 8 slices of bread, you’re definitely getting your money’s worth.
Another nice function here in the budget section is the 60 minute timer. With 6, 10 minute intervals, it is convenient both for short and longer cooks.
An unexpected feature at this price point is the stainless steel construction.
Put all of the features together and this is a heck of an option. With durable construction and analog controls, it’s likely that this machine may last forever. It’s more likely that the average user will only stop using it in favor of an expensive unit with more bells and whistles than for any sort of breakdown.
Pros
- Affordably priced
- Has extra-large capacity
- Boasts stainless steel construction
Cons
- Doesn’t have a display
- Doesn’t do anything particularly well
Buying Guide – How to Choose an Air Fryer Toaster Oven?
These are the questions you need to ask to decide the best air fryer toaster oven for your home:
What size air fryer toaster oven do you need?
Here’s how you can determine which size air fryer toaster oven do you need. All of the air fryers we reviewed have a large capacity. Air fryer toaster ovens generally measure capacities in 3 different ways:
- Number of slices of bread it can hold
- Size of pizza (inches) it can hold
- Amount of poultry it can hold (usually measured as a whole chicken, number of chicken wings, or number of chicken breasts it can hold)
As you read the capacities listed by the manufacturer, you’ll want to think in terms of the food.
If an air fryer toaster oven holds a large, 13″ pizza, but the chicken is listed as wings, it’s likely that the machine is short with a large footprint like the Ninja Option.
On the other hand, look at the Breville Smart. That thing is just huge. Weighing in at nearly 40lb with capacities for a 9×13 pan or an entire 14lb turkey, there’s nothing that won’t fit in any combination of the other air fryer toaster ovens, but the unit takes up a lot of space and is hard to move.
Taking all of that into account, get an idea of where you will store the oven and plan accordingly. If you have a lot of counter space, a big budget, and never plan to move it, go with the Breville Smart.
If you like to make pizzas and plan to just get the machine out when you need it, go with the 19lb Ninja.
Is A Digital or Manual Air Fryer Toaster Oven Better?
Digital Air Fryer Toaster Oven
A digital touchscreen and digital LED display together make air fryers extremely easy to use.
Some touch displays give you options to grill, dehydrate, roast, and even shrimp. Other top-rated digital units go as far as to let you turn on the inner light .
Pros
- Stylish and elegant design
- Offer a wider range of cooking functions
- LED display and touchscreen panel are easier to read and cook more exact
Cons
- Pricey
Analog Air Fryer Toaster Oven
Analog air fryers don’t offer many features that you can get from their digital peers, but they are easier to use and usually occupy less space on the shelf. The Ninja and Black + Decker are both analog options and were the 2 lightest units we reviewed.
Aside from those things, they will always cost less than digital air fryer toaster ovens.
Pros
- Easy to use
- Competitively priced
- Smaller and more compact design
Cons
- No display
What is the Air Fryer Toaster Oven’s Food Loading/Unloading Mechanism?
There are usually 2 options for getting food in and out of any toaster oven:
- Front drawer:
- Front drawer units have the same loading/unloading mechanism as your average microwave oven.
- Open their front-facing door to put in and take out meals.
- Easy to use and occupies less shelf space.
- Flip-top lid:
- Must place them on a countertop with no shelves overhead (have to open a lid vs a front facing door).
- Usually (but not always) heavier than front drawer counterparts and usually take up more space.
What Features to Look for in an Air Fryer Toaster Oven?
Here are the features that almost all top-rated models possess:
- Auto-shutoff function
- Dishwasher-safe parts
- Multiple cooking options: One of the reasons we chose the Cuisinart TOA-70 as the best air fryer toaster oven combo on the market is that there’s no limit to the dishes you can prepare with this product.
