Cuisinart Air Fryer + Convection Toaster Oven (TOA-70)

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.

$100-$220
Pros
  • 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
  • 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
Why we recommend it

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.
