The Best Air Fryer Toaster Ovens of 2023

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.

For a top-notch air fryer that doubles as a toaster oven, the Chefman Toast-Air Touch Air Fryer is one of our top picks. Everything we air fried from frozen fries to Nashville-style chicken came out well browned and crispy.

It can be overzealous: We found we had to bake on a lower oven temperature and cook for a shorter time to prevent burnt crusts and over-browned toast. On the bright side, this is one of the few toaster ovens that actually browned chicken breasts on the broil setting.

The Chefman looks a lot like our favorite Cuisinart air fryer toaster oven, but is half the price. It’s also compact in size compared to most toaster ovens. While it has fewer settings, it still includes dehydrating and slow cooking.

The interior has a nonstick coating that’s easy to wipe clean, and the racks and air fryer basket are dishwasher safe. The manual doesn’t include any cooking charts and the recipe booklet doesn’t feature any air frying recipes. That means that if you’re new to air frying, you’ll have to do some research.

The Cosori Smart Air Fryer Toaster Oven is another good option for anyone who prioritizes air frying and toasting over baking. It excelled at air frying everything we tested, and it toasted bread perfectly evenly. Plus, it broils very well. Unfortunately, we needed to extend the cooking time when baking pizza and biscuits by almost half the recommended time.

The Cosori offers a preheat option, but it can take as long as 8 minutes to come up to temperature. It also offers the choice of beeping halfway through air frying as a reminder to shake or turn over food.

The nonstick finish on the oven walls makes it easy to wipe clean, but all the racks and trays require hand washing. Neither the manual nor the cookbook suggest cooking times for air fried foods.

With Cosori’s V-Sync app and a Wi-Fi connection, you can check on food as it cooks and receive alerts on a mobile device. You can also select recipes and the app will send the temperature and time settings to your oven. For safety reasons, you can’t start the oven remotely from the app. However, you can give voice commands through Alexa or Google Assistant over Wi-Fi.

If you’re looking for a large countertop oven that can also toast and air fry, the Instant Omni Plus Multi-Use Toaster Oven fits the bill. It roasts an incredibly crispy rotisserie chicken but also toasts bread evenly. It competes with the best of the air fryers at making French fries.

You will need to adjust the cooking times. Toasted bread and bagels tend to come out a little lighter than the selected setting. Meanwhile, baked goods like rolls and pizza emerge a little darker.

The oven is beautifully designed with intuitive, easy-to-read electronic controls. It has lots of settings including dehydrate and slow cook. The preprogrammed times and temperatures cover many functions and types of food.

The included guide gets you started, but for complete instructions (for example, for the rotisserie) you have to visit the company website. You can pop all the parts in the dishwasher for cleaning. Before buying the Omni Plus, make sure you have enough room on your countertop and under your cabinets to accommodate it, as well as storage space for all the accessories.

The Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven is somewhat unusual. It’s wider and shorter than most toaster ovens. You’ll need plenty of counter space to dedicate to it.

Its width lets it comfortably toast nine slices of bread at once. Its large nonstick sheet pan can cook chicken, beef, or shrimp and veggies for four in under 30 minutes. However, it’s not tall enough to roast a chicken.

Whether you prefer plain white bread or a fat seeded bagel, the Ninja will toast them beautifully. It can also bake up biscuits and broil a few chicken breasts as well as any countertop or full-size oven. Unfortunately, it’s only middling at air frying, so it’s best for people who only occasionally fry up frozen fries or mozzarella sticks.

The digital controls work with a dial, and are easy to read and navigate. I loved the Ninja’s one-minute preheat, its light for checking on your food during cooking, and its quiet operation. When this oven isn’t in use, you can flip it over and stand it up at the back of the countertop. The back also opens to give you easy access to the interior for cleaning.

The Cosori Air Fryer Toaster Oven compromises a bit on air frying results to add toasting, baking, broiling and rotisserie. French fries or chicken nuggets don’t come out much crispier than baking them in an oven. However, frozen foods emerge well-browned and crunchy.

The Cosori does a nice job of baking and broiling and toasts evenly. However, the programmed times for each toast setting are extremely long (more than 7 minutes at medium) and bread comes out darker than you’d expect. If set on the longest setting, the bread smokes heavily.

This is a large, well-designed appliance with an LED screen and dial controls. The air fryer basket needs a good soaking to clean it, but the baking dish has a nonstick coating. The oven also comes with an excellent cookbook to get you started on air frying.

The Emeril Power Air Fryer 360 Plus is a good-looking appliance at a reasonable price. While it does a good job of air frying foods, you’ll need to extend the times from the presets for well-browned, crispy results. As a toaster oven, it’s large enough to toast six slices of bread and roast a whole chicken.

All of the controls are contained on an easy-to-navigate LED panel.

With a lot of accessories—a crisper basket, the baking dish, and a rotisserie spit— you'll need to clear plenty of cabinet space to store everything. All of the parts require hand washing and since they’re not nonstick, this can be a bit of a chore, especially after you’ve air fried battered chicken.
