Cuisinart TOA-26 Compact Air Fryer Toaster Oven

The only small air fryer that also toasts, bakes, broils, and makes pizza — all in a compact footprint. Good Housekeeping's top-tested air fryer toaster oven, it browned wings in 20 minutes and fries in 15.

$100-$150
Pros
  • 6 cooking modes: air fry, toast, convection bake, convection broil, pizza, warm
  • Fits 1 lb of wings with room to spare plus 1 lb of fries in a single layer
  • Mechanical dials are intuitive and durable
  • Salmon came out tender and flaky with crisped skin in testing
Cons
  • No built-in timer — you have to track cooking time yourself
  • Larger footprint (18"W) than basket-style air fryers
  • Fries came out slightly drier than preferred in GH testing
  • More expensive than standalone mini air fryers
Why we recommend it

If you're replacing both a toaster and an air fryer, this is the move. It does both jobs well enough that you won't miss having separate appliances, and it's significantly cheaper than Cuisinart's full-sized version.

What the experts said

It cooks quickly and is one of the only air fryer toaster ovens we tested that can compete with both a standalone air fryer and toaster oven.

At 400ºF, wings turned golden and juicy in 20 minutes, and fries were deeply browned in 15 minutes. A two-inch piece of salmon came out tender and flaky with crisped skin.

The Cuisinart 2.6-quart Air Fryer Oven is the only model I tested with a window. It also produced crisp and evenly cooked fries and wings with a slightly longer cook time.
