Cuisinart TOA-26 Compact Air Fryer Toaster Oven

The only small air fryer that also toasts, broils, and bakes — Cuisinart's compact toaster oven holds 2.5 lbs of food and produced golden wings in 20 minutes. A smart pick if you want to replace multiple appliances with one.

$100-$150
Pros
  • Air fry, toast, convection bake, broil, pizza, and warm modes in one unit
  • Holds up to 2.5 lbs of food — more than most 2-quart basket fryers
  • Wings turned golden and juicy in 20 minutes at 400°F
  • Compact footprint relative to full-size air fryer toaster ovens
Cons
  • No built-in timer — requires manual monitoring
  • Harder to clean than basket-style air fryers
  • Pricier than standalone small air fryers at $119-$150
Why we recommend it

If you're in a small apartment and can only have one countertop appliance, this Cuisinart does it all — and it's the rare toaster oven that actually competes with a standalone air fryer on crispiness.

What the experts said

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.
