1. Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven with Grill — TOA-70

✅ 8-in-1 versatility: Air Fry, Toast, Bake, Convection Bake, Broil, Convection Broil, Grill, Warm
✅ Compact 0.6 cu. ft. capacity fits a 12″ pizza or 4-lb chicken
✅ Knob controls + recipe/cooking guide; baking tray sits under air-fry basket to catch drips

Why it’s great

If you want a do-everything countertop without losing half your counter space, the Cuisinart TOA-70 nails the balance. The 1800W top element and fan produce fast, even convection for reliably crisp fries and veggies, while the reversible grill/griddle plate gives you weeknight searing power—burgers, steaks, grilled veg—without firing up a full-size oven or outdoor grill. We like the dual-timer arrangement (toast shade + 60-minute cook timer) and the wide temperature range (Warm to 450°F). The analog dials are refreshingly simple: no touchscreens to fail, and it’s intuitive for all ages.

Cleanup is smarter than average because the baking tray sits beneath the air-fry basket, catching drips before they caramelize on the floor of the oven. Capacity is deceptively generous: six slices of toast, a 12″ pizza, or a 4-lb chicken all fit.

Real impressions

• “Does so many things and does them well”—owners call out crispy potatoes/Brussels sprouts, flaky fish, juicy burgers/steaks, and moist banana bread with shorter cook times. The included cooking guide/recipes help you get results right away.
• Multiple buyers highlight the larger basket vs. typical stand-alone air fryers and the handsome stainless finish that fits smaller counters nicely.
• Heads-up: There’s a learning curve for new owners and the exterior does get warm—Cuisinart advises proper ventilation. One long-term owner (≈14 months) ultimately switched because oil mist from fatty cooks meant more deep cleaning; another notes the drip pan stains quickly despite careful washing.
• On the plus side, many appreciate the straightforward knobs and solid construction. Several specifically loved that the tray under the basket cuts down on mess.

Pros

• True all-in-one with useful grill plate
• Fast, even convection and great air-fry crisp
• Mess-catching tray under basket; accessories clean easily
• Analog controls are durable and intuitive

Cons

• Exterior runs warm; needs ventilation space
• Greasy cooks = more cleaning time
• Drip pan can stain with regular use
• Small learning curve to master all modes

2. Emeril Lagasse Extra-Large French Door Air Fryer Toaster Oven — 26QT

✅ XL 26-quart capacity with French doors and interior light
✅ Rich preset set (toast, bake, roast, air fry, reheat, grill, rotisserie, proof, etc.)
✅ Dial control + presets for quick setup; sturdy accessory bundle

Why it’s great

Think of the Emeril 26QT French Door as a mini range with air-fry muscle. The French doors open together for one-handed access, and the interior light makes it simple to monitor bakes. Owners use it for bread proofing and baking, pies/cheesecakes, weekday air-fry meals, and even rotisserie. Despite the XL cavity, it fits cleanly on standard counters; just remember to allow side clearance so the doors can swing.

Preset logic makes it easy to get started (great for new air-fryer users), and the accessories feel substantial—a crisping tray, a baking tray, a wire rack, and a meat base for steaks/chops. Day to day, it covers toast, reheat, roast, and bake beautifully; owners praise the appearance, too, often opting to leave it on the counter rather than stash it away.

Real impressions

• A baker who wanted a patio-friendly unit now churns out bread, pies, and cheesecakes and is “over the moon” with how well proof + bake work, calling the oven exactly what I need.
• Another buyer overcame infomercial skepticism and now loves the style and ease of use; cookies baked in half the time compared with their full oven, and the fish was crisp (with a note to refine timing to avoid slight dryness on the first try).
• One customer’s first unit was defective but Amazon swapped it quickly; the replacement works perfectly across toast, reheat, bake, roasting, grilling, and rotisserie.
• Tips from owners: leave room for the outward-swinging doors, close gently to avoid slamming the hinges, and don’t expect to rest a plate directly in front while the doors are open—similar limitations exist with drop-down doors, just in a different way.
• International reviews warn it’s 120V only—not for EU/UK mains without proper conversion.

Pros

• Big-oven feel: French doors, light, generous capacity
• Presets reduce guesswork; dial is straightforward
• Sturdy accessories (crisper, trays, rack)
• Great for bread proofing + baking and rotisserie

Cons

• Needs side clearance; plate staging in front is awkward with doors open
• Close doors gently to protect hinges
• Dial legends can feel tight for some eyes
• Voltage-specific—not EU-ready out of the box

3. Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro — BOV900BSS (Brushed Stainless)

✅ Element iQ with 5 quartz elements + PID temperature control
✅ 13 functions (Air Fry, Dehydrate, Proof, Slow Cook, Cookies, Pizza, Toast/Bagel & more)
✅ XL interior fits a 14-lb turkey, 9 slices of toast, or a 9×13 pan

Why it’s great

Breville’s BOV900BSS is the precision pick in our Best Toaster Ovens roundup. Its Element iQ system actively balances power across five quartz elements while the PID controller holds a steady temperature, so you get uniform browning and fewer hot/cold spots. The Super Convection fan moves a higher volume of air for faster cook times without drying out your food, and the LCD interface keeps modes and preheat status crystal clear. If you love weekend projects—dehydrating, proofing dough, slow-cooking, or sheet-pan baking—this is the countertop oven that encourages you to stretch.

In everyday use, it’s a workhorse: weeknight fries and nuggets crisp evenly; veggies roast with deep caramelization; and cookies bake evenly from front to back. The accessory kit (pizza pan, two racks, enamel broil/roast pan, mesh basket) lets you experiment immediately. It’s also one of the few countertop ovens that can legitimately handle holiday birds or full 9×13 casseroles without crowding.

Real impressions

Owners consistently praise the predictable temperature control, fast preheat, and all-over browning. Fans also like that it can replace a full-size oven for most days, keeping the kitchen cooler while still delivering “real oven” results. While it’s not the cheapest pick, many say the accuracy and capacity justify the spend.

Pros

• Top-tier temperature accuracy; excellent all-around browning
• Deep feature set for ambitious cooks (dehydrate/proof/slow cook)
• Holiday-capable interior without turning on the big oven

Cons

• Higher price and larger footprint than basic models
• Accessories look best with gentle, non-abrasive cleaning
• Lots of capability means a slight learning curve at first

4. Ninja Prestige Smart XL Air Fryer & Toaster Oven — DT501 (Stainless 10-in-1)

✅ 10-in-1 functionality: Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Whole Roast, Pizza, Toast, Bagel, Reheat, Broil, Dehydrate
✅ Smart Surround Convection for even results on two levels
✅ XL family-size fits 20 cookies or a 12-lb turkey

Why it’s great

The Ninja DT501 Prestige Smart XL is what happens when power meets precision. This countertop oven can replace both your air fryer and your traditional oven. Designed with Smart Surround Convection, it circulates high-velocity air evenly from every angle, meaning you can cook two racks at once with no flipping or rotation.

The 1800W power output combined with 90-second preheat time makes it ideal for busy families. Its two-tier layout allows for batch cooking—think fries on one level and chicken on another—without flavor transfer. Ninja also includes ten preset programs for air fry, bake, whole roast, pizza, toast, bagel, and more, letting you switch seamlessly between breakfast toast and family roasts.

Design-wise, this stainless unit looks professional yet sleek. The digital display with a dial interface is intuitive, while the large glass door and interior light allow you to check progress without opening the oven.

Real impressions

Users rave about how evenly the oven cooks on both levels. One customer shared that their chicken and vegetables came out perfectly crisp and juicy at the same time—no turning required. The fast preheat and quiet fan also earned praise.

Some home cooks mention that the DT501 “replaces my full-sized oven for 90% of meals,” using it daily for pizza, cookies, and roast dinners. Owners appreciate the air fry mode for fries and veggies, saying results are “as crisp as deep-fried but without the oil.”

The only caution? It’s tall and wide, so measure your countertop clearance—especially under cabinets. A few reviewers wished for a brighter interior light, though most agree this is a minor issue given the cooking performance.

Pros

• 10 versatile cooking functions with real two-level cooking
• Super fast preheat (90 seconds)
• Excellent air fry crisping and even roasting
• Family-size interior fits big meals easily

Cons

• Large footprint; needs clearance under cabinets
• Interior light could be brighter for darker kitchens
• Slight learning curve for timing across dual racks

5. Breville Mini Smart Oven — BOV450XL (Brushed Stainless Steel)

✅ 8 cooking functions: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Broil, Pizza, Roast, Cookies, Reheat
✅ Compact size fits 4 slices of toast or an 11” pizza
✅ Element iQ System for precise heat control

Why it’s great

Small but mighty, the Breville BOV450XL Mini Smart Oven is perfect for kitchens short on counter space. Powered by Breville’s Element iQ System, it automatically adjusts the power of its quartz heating elements to maintain precise, consistent temperature—resulting in evenly browned toast and perfect small bakes every time.

Its non-stick interior, three rack positions, and pull-out crumb tray make it easier to clean than most compact ovens. While it’s only 0.45 cubic feet inside, it can still bake cookies, toast four slices, or crisp an 11-inch pizza.

The controls are easy to master—just a dial and a clear LCD. Breville includes eight preset modes, and preheat time averages under five minutes.

Real impressions

Customers love its combination of power and portability, calling it a “small kitchen essential.” Owners highlight the quiet operation, quick warm-up, and even toast. It’s also a favorite for RVs and dorms. One user said, “Perfect for single meals or small households—I use it daily instead of my wall oven.”

A few mention that taller casseroles don’t fit, and that the oven runs slightly hotter at the back, but these are minor tradeoffs for its reliability and design.

Pros

• Compact and stylish, fits in tight spaces
• Even heating thanks to Element iQ
• Easy to clean and operate

Cons

• Not for large dishes or tall pans
• Slightly hotter at back; requires mid-bake rotation

6. Ninja Flip Toaster Oven & Air Fryer — SP151 (Stainless Premium 8-in-1)

✅ Flip-Up design saves 50% counter space
✅ 8 functions: Air Fry, Roast, Broil, Bake, Pizza, Toast, Bagel, Dehydrate
✅ Fits 12” pizza, 6 toast slices, or 4 lbs of ingredients

Why it’s great

The Ninja SP151 is a top pick for apartment dwellers or anyone who wants big results in a small footprint. Its signature feature—the Flip-Up & Away design—lets you store the oven vertically against your backsplash, freeing valuable counter space.

The OvenCrisp Technology combines infrared heating and convection airflow to achieve evenly browned, crispy results across the tray. Despite its compact height, the interior fits a 12” pizza or six slices of bread with ease.

It’s also remarkably fast: family meals in as little as 20 minutes, with up to 75% less fat than traditional frying. Energy efficiency is another plus—80% less energy use than a full-size oven.

Real impressions

Owners love how it “cooks evenly on every setting” and “flips away beautifully” when done. Many mention using it for bagels, roasted veggies, and small dinners. Reviewers especially appreciate the easy cleanup—just wipe the crumb tray and interior surfaces.

Some note that its height limits tall bakes (like loaf pans), but agree that for everyday meals, the tradeoff is worth the counter-space savings.

Pros

• Space-saving Flip-Up design
• Fast and energy-efficient
• Consistent results across modes
• Easy cleanup interior

Cons

• Not ideal for tall baking dishes
• Slightly limited capacity for large families

7. Nuwave Bravo XL Pro Air Fryer Toaster Oven — 30QT (Stainless Steel)

✅ Adjustable dual-heater control (0–100%) for top/bottom elements
✅ 50–500°F range in 5°F increments + 3 fan speeds
✅ Smart probe with 100 presets for automatic doneness

Why it’s great

The Nuwave Bravo XL Pro caters to precision-focused home chefs. With independent heater control, you can fine-tune top and bottom heating for optimal results—like setting 70% bottom / 30% top for a crisp pizza crust and gooey cheese.

Its linear temperature technology ensures consistent heating, while the built-in digital thermometer lets the oven automatically stop cooking when your food hits the desired internal temperature. The 30QT capacity easily fits two 13” pizzas, a 10-lb chicken, or multiple trays of cookies.

It also includes 12 core cooking functions (air fry, toast, grill, bake, roast, slow cook, dehydrate, etc.) and 100 recipe presets, making it versatile and beginner-friendly.

Real impressions

Home cooks describe it as “a serious upgrade for any kitchen.” Users note how even the cooking is—multi-layer bakes come out with 0–1°F difference between racks. Another highlight is how fast it heats—up to 3× quicker than older convection ovens.

People also praise the smart probe for steaks and roasts, calling it “the end of overcooking.” The oven runs quieter than expected and uses noticeably less oil than deep frying.

Critiques mainly focus on the interface complexity: there are many buttons and modes, so expect a short learning period.

Pros

• Pro-level customization for top/bottom heat and fan speed
• Even, multi-rack cooking
• Smart probe eliminates guesswork
• Great for large families or meal prepping

Cons

• Interface heavy; takes time to learn
• More parts = more cleanup
• Bulky for very small kitchens

8. BLACK+DECKER Crisp ’N Bake Air Fry Countertop Toaster Oven — 5-in-1 (Stainless Steel)

✅ 5-in-1 functionality: Air Fry, Bake, Broil, Toast, Keep Warm
✅ EvenToast Technology for evenly browned slices
✅ Compact yet fits 9” pizza or 4 slices of bread

Why it’s great

If you want solid performance on a budget, the BLACK+DECKER Crisp ’N Bake Air Fryer Toaster Oven delivers impressive value. It combines the essentials—baking, toasting, broiling—with the bonus of oil-free air frying, so you can enjoy crispy fries or chicken without guilt.

Its EvenToast Technology ensures evenly browned toast and bagels, while the air-fry mesh tray maximizes airflow for crunchier results. The 30-minute timer, auto shut-off, and stay-on option make it simple for anyone to use. Despite its small footprint, it fits a 9-inch pizza—perfect for quick meals or small households.

The oven comes with handy accessories: air-fry basket, bake pan, and wire rack. It also features a removable crumb tray, making cleanup quick and painless.

Real impressions

Owners love that it “cranks out crispy fries and perfectly browned toast without heating the kitchen.” One reviewer said, “The air fry mode makes delicious results with almost no oil—my fries come out golden every time.”

Another appreciated its size, noting it’s “just right for one or two people,” while others call it a “simple, affordable workhorse.” Users mention it’s not as fast as 1800W premium models, but the compact power efficiency suits small apartments.

Pros

• Great value under $70
• Oil-free air fry for healthier meals
• Compact and easy to clean
• Ideal for small kitchens or dorms

Cons

• Lower wattage (1150W) = slower heating
• Smaller capacity; not for big families
• Analog dials lack fine temperature precision

9. BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Convection Toaster Oven — TO1313SBD (Stainless Steel)

✅ Convection baking for faster, even results

Why it’s great

The BLACK+DECKER TO1313SBD is a no-fuss, affordable toaster oven built for daily convenience. Its curved interior adds extra space without increasing footprint, easily fitting a small pizza or four slices of toast.

Convection circulation ensures food cooks faster and more evenly than a basic toaster oven. The **four functions—Bake, Broil, Toast, Keep Warm—**cover most cooking needs, from melting cheese on sandwiches to reheating leftovers.

It’s also lightweight (under 7 lbs) and easy to move, which makes it perfect for students, small kitchens, or secondary use in an office or camper.

Real impressions

Users call it “reliable and simple,” praising its consistent toast color and how it “heats evenly across small trays of food.” One customer said, “I use it for everything from reheating slices to baking small casseroles—it’s tiny but mighty.”

Buyers also appreciate the removable crumb tray, noting cleanup takes seconds. Some mentioned it’s “a bit basic” and “lacks digital precision,” but overall it’s seen as dependable, affordable, and durable.

Pros

• Reliable, simple controls
• Compact yet roomy curved interior
• Even convection baking
• Great entry-level or backup oven

Cons

• No air fry mode
• Manual dials may feel dated
• Limited to smaller meals
