Best BudgetPrice
$320-$500
$100-$220
Summary
The most consistently top-ranked countertop convection oven across every major testing source. Roomy interior, 13+ cooking modes, and dead-accurate heat make it the closest thing to replacing your full-size oven.
Good Housekeeping's top pick for air frying performance in a toaster oven format, regularly available for under $170. Air-fried wings and fries came out crispy and even — results that rival standalone air fryers at a fraction of the Breville's price.
Pros
- Roomy interior fits a 13-inch pizza and standard cookware including quarter-sheet pans
- 13 cooking modes including air fry, dehydrate, proof, slow cook, and keep warm
- Consistent, accurate heat — broiled salmon and cookies both tested best-in-class at CNET
- High-quality accessories included: two wire racks, roasting pan, pizza pan, air fryer basket, broiling rack
- Sleek stainless steel design that looks great on the counter
- Air fries wings and fries quickly with crispy, even results that rival standalone air fryers
- Frequently goes on sale for around $100–$169, making it the best value on this list
- Includes grill pan, air fryer basket, baking pan, and wire rack
- Rack position recommendations printed on the door for easier use
- Convection bake, broil, grill, and keep warm modes in addition to air fry and toast
Cons
- Expensive at $320–$500 depending on model variant
- Takes up significant counter space — larger footprint than most countertop ovens
- Toast can emerge paler than ideal due to large chamber distance from heating elements
- Air-fried wings not quite as crispy as a dedicated standalone air fryer
- Mechanical dials don't allow precise time or temperature control between preset intervals
- Runs hot — food can burn quickly if not monitored closely
- Control panel has a learning curve compared to digital competitors
- Clunky design compared to Breville or Ninja aesthetics
Our take
If you can stomach the price, this is the one to buy. Every serious testing outlet — Serious Eats, CNET, Good Housekeeping — puts it at or near the top, and it earns that spot with consistent, accurate heat and a genuinely useful air fryer function.
If you want real air frying performance without spending $300+, this Cuisinart is the move. Good Housekeeping tested it multiple times across mechanical and digital versions and it consistently delivers — just watch your food closely because it runs hot.
