The Best Air Fryer Toaster Ovens of 2024

This is our top choice for a countertop oven that can also air fry. Everything we “fried” cooked up brown and crispy, including batter-fried chicken that came out as crunchy as fast-food favorites.

Bread toasted exceptionally evenly, and matched the shade we selected from pale-but-dry to dark-but-not-black. When baking, we got great results after reducing the time and oven temperature to prevent over-browning.

This digital Cuisinart is among the more expensive air fryer toaster ovens on the market. But its pre-programmed settings and digital controls make air frying easy. For baking and pizza, there’s an automatic preheat; no preheating is required for air frying.

This model isn’t as wide as a typical toaster oven, so it won’t take up as much countertop space. It’s taller, but still fits under a standard cabinet. Despite its relatively compact size, it can accommodate three pounds of fries, six slices of bread, and a four-pound roast chicken. With a low setting for slow cooking and braising, as well as dehydrating and proofing modes, it provides a lot of versatility for the money.

The interior has a nonstick coating, and the air fryer basket and baking pan can be tossed in the dishwasher. Cuisinart provides a helpful manual complete with cooking charts and appealing recipes. Plus there's a quick reference guide that conveniently stores in a slot in the bottom of the oven.

Although the Gourmia doesn’t look upscale, it sells for a great price for a product with the dual function of an air frying toaster oven. Its unique French-door style gives you easy access to the oven.

Foods like frozen French fries and chicken nuggets cook up brown and crispy. However, with homemade recipes, you’ll see less even coloring and get a lighter crunch.

The Gourmia excels at toasting bread and turning out a crisp-crusted pizza. Yet, it was only serviceable at baking biscuits, browning them unevenly on top and barely at all on the bottom. It broiled chicken breasts quickly, but didn’t give them much color.

Even at this low price, you get a digital control panel with automatic programs. All of the accessories are dishwasher-safe but the aluminum baking pan and crumb tray may discolor. Gourmia also includes a recipe book with comprehensive cooking charts.

The handsome, brushed stainless steel Breville Smart Oven Air commands top dollar, but delivers a state-of-the-art toaster oven and a consistently excellent air fryer. It’s large enough that it could truly replace your oven—Breville claims it can roast a 14-pound turkey. It can also proof bread, dehydrate and slow cook.

The digital controls are intuitive to program and there’s a bright oven light, but I do have one major quibble. The manual doesn’t have any recommendations for what, how much, or how long to cook various foods. This may not be a problem for baking or roasting, but if you’re new to air frying, you’re on your own. Also, all of the parts require hand washing.

Although pricey, the Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 XL Pro Air Fry Oven DT201 is an exceptionally well-designed and versatile appliance. The digital controls and readout are conveniently situated on the handle, right at eye level.

That lets the whole appliance devote its space to the oven cavity, which can toast nine slices of bread, roast a 5-pound chicken, or bake two trays of cookies at once. When selecting a function on the control panel, it tells you which of the two racks to use.

What makes this Ninja “smart” is a thermometer that plugs into the unit for automatically cooking to precise temperatures. Your beef tenderloin will always come out medium rare and a chicken will never be undercooked.

The Ninja gave us evenly toasted bread, even when we loaded it up to capacity. A 12-inch pizza and a batch of biscuits baked to perfection in the time recommended on the package.

On air fry mode, it browned and crisped French fries, plus both homemade and frozen chicken nuggets, to a light golden brown. Once a cooking mode is selected, the Ninja automatically goes into a short preheat mode. It then beeps when it’s time to place food in the oven.

Note that this product is large and heavy. It’ll take a good chunk of countertop space and won’t be easy to move once it’s there. The oven racks and air fryer basket can be cleaned in the dishwasher, though. Ninja includes an extremely thorough owner’s guide, plus a cookbook that includes charts, recipes, and detailed instructions for multi-rack cooking.

In addition to being an excellent toaster, this Cuisinart is one of the top air fryers you can buy. It was our former Best Overall until Cuisinart introduced a newer, digital model. Fortunately, the TOA-60 is still available and a wonderful option if you want to spend a little less than the TOA-65.

It cooks up fries and nuggets that taste as brown and crunchy as if they were deep fried. Bread toasts exceptionally evenly. Not only can you set it in a good range of shades, but the result exactly matches the settings—whether you choose light, golden, or almost burnt.

This Cuisinart doesn’t have digital controls like most of its competitors do, but the rotary dials are a no-brainer to operate. It’s narrower and taller than a standard toaster oven, but still fits under a standard cabinet. It’s also big enough to accommodate two pounds of fries, six slices of bread, and a four-pound chicken. Be aware that all the parts need to be hand-washed instead of going into the dishwasher.
