Summary
The gold standard of air fryer toaster ovens — it toasts, bakes, broils, roasts, and air fries with near-oven-replacement capability. Serious Eats says you can't do better if you want a multi-function countertop oven.
The only air fryer with a glass cooking chamber, making it the easiest to clean and the safest from nonstick coating concerns. Reddit and expert reviewers alike call it the best air fryer you can buy right now.
Pros
- Replaces toaster oven, air fryer, and nearly a full wall oven for holidays and large batches
- Preheats fast and maintains precise, honest thermostat temperatures
- Sleek, consistent design that has held up over years of use
- Multiple cooking modes: toast, bake, broil, roast, air fry, dehydrate, and more
- Top pick from both Serious Eats and CNET for air fryer toaster ovens
- Glass cooking chamber is dishwasher-safe and free of nonstick chemical coatings
- Cooking chamber converts to a sealed food storage container with a rubber lid
- Can watch food cook in real time without opening the fryer
- Simple 4-mode controls (warm, reheat, bake, air fry) are easy to use
- Consistently recommended by both Reddit community and multiple expert review sites
Cons
- Expensive at $333-$350
- Large cooking chamber makes it harder to achieve the same crust as a compact basket air fryer
- Air fry function not as powerful as dedicated basket-style air fryers
- Takes up significant counter space
- Glass chamber gets and stays very hot during and after cooking — safety risk for households with small children
- Pricier than most basket-style air fryers at $160-$180
- No precise temperature control — limited to preset modes
- Smaller capacity than some competitors
Our take
If you want to replace your toaster oven AND get air frying capability, the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is the one to get. It's expensive, but it's the rare appliance that actually delivers on its multi-function promise.
If you're buying one air fryer in 2026, get the Ninja Crispi. The glass chamber solves every complaint people have about air fryers — chemical coatings, hard-to-clean baskets, not seeing your food — and the cooking performance is top-tier.
