If you can’t live without a toaster oven, but also want an air fryer for extra-crispy foods, consider the multitasking Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven. It only takes up the space of one appliance, but gives you the functionality of several. Its only downside is that it’s not good at baking, so if you’re looking for a toaster oven for cakes and cookies, this isn’t the choice for you. While it is pricier than many air fryers, it’s a bargain for what you get. Clad in stainless steel, this is one nice-looking product and with dial controls, it’s easy to use.
That said, it’s not without its drawbacks, which include the exterior getting overly hot to the touch and the fact that the accessories are not dishwasher safe. Read on for the full Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven review.
Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven review: Price and availability
- Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Toaster Oven (Coral) at Amazon for $129.99
The Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven is available at Amazon from $192 and at Target for $229.99. It is available predominantly in stainless steel, but Amazon has other colors including black, white, navy and copper.
The Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven is big and square, measuring 16 x 14 x 13.5 inches. It’s taller, but not as wide, as a typical toaster oven which means it doesn’t hog as much space on your countertop. With its stainless steel exterior and handle, it makes a handsome impression. Unlike many appliances at this price point, this one has dials rather than an electronic control pad with a screen; they contribute to its commercial look.
Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven review: Cooking performance
On test, the Cuisinart scored relatively well across the board, with the exception of frozen French fries. It stood out for its performance on breaded chicken, for which it scored full marks. However, when it came to baking, the Cuisinart performed poorly, overcooking in all our tests. In fact, our initial results were so bad that we tried a second sample to be sure. However, we got only marginally better results in the second oven.
(Image credit: Tom's Guide)There’s no preheat setting on the Cuisinart and no suggestions that you preheat the oven before air frying.
For some air fried foods, cooking times were on the long side, which suggests preheating is incorporated. To set the oven, you turn one dial to the cooking function and another to your desired temperature. You then either set the timer or, if you want to make toast, turn a dial to a toast setting.
Cuisinart gives a very practical assessment of the oven’s capacity, stating that it can accommodate 3 pounds, toast 4 slices of bread, roast a 4-pound chicken, or bake a 12-inch pizza.
To air fry, food is spread out in the wide shallow basket. The Cuisinart browned and crisped breaded chicken cutlets quickly without drying them out. Brussels sprouts and chicken wings came out tender if not completely evenly brown and crispy. French fries cut by hand from Idaho potatoes fared well, with browning on the outside and a moist texture on the inside. However, this toaster oven struggled with frozen fries, which crisped up without browning and didn’t come out moist or tender.
(Image credit: Tom's Guide)Using the manufacturer’s recommendations, we roasted a 3-pound chicken in the baking pan and were rewarded with a moist and tender bird with crackling skin everywhere, but on the bottom.
We’ve cooked dozens of chickens in pans and ovens of all kinds and it’s rare to wind up with a browned and crispy bottom skin. Unlike in an air fryer, there was spattering to wipe off the wall of the oven.
Four 4-ounce hamburgers took twice as long to cook on the convection broil setting as they took to cook in almost every other air frying appliance we tested. However, they did come out browned and juicy with a perfect medium doneness, which made them worth the wait.
When we cooked a frozen pizza for the time recommended on the packaging, it came out burnt. Even at half of the suggested baking time, the pizza emerged very dark on top, although it did have a crispy crust. Chocolate chip cookies came out burnt in the first oven and very dark and dry in the second, when we baked them for the recommended time. When we baked them for a third of the time, they still came out very dark on the outside and were raw inside. A yellow cake baked up with a dark crust that was seriously domed and cracked on top.
The Cuisinart toasted evenly on the medium setting, but the toast came out a bit darker than we expected. While Cuisinart says the toaster oven has a 4- slice capacity, we were able to toast 6 slices at once and get fairly even results. Toasting times are considerably longer than in a pop-up toaster; it took almost 5 ½ minutes to brown on medium and almost 7 minutes on dark.
Using the keep warm setting, we were able to keep four cups of macaroni and cheese piping hot for 45 minutes without drying it out.
Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven review: Ease of use and cleaning
The dials on the Cuisinart are easy to turn and completely intuitive to set. However, as they aren’t digital and don’t click into place at the various settings, they’re hard to set precisely. With the Cuisinart you get an oven rack, an air fryer basket, a baking pan, and a drip tray. Each time you use it, you have to determine which accessories to use and where to position them in the oven.
During use, the dials and the handle stay cool to the touch and the stainless steel top and sides don’t get hot enough to cause burns, however the glass door reaches 259°F, which is dangerously hot. The Cuisinart is exceptionally quiet as it air fries, with a dBA reading of 54.7. This was one of the quietest air fryers we tested. A bright interior light makes it easy to check on food as it’s cooking.
(Image credit: Cuisinart)This model didn’t score well for ease of cleaning — none of the accessories are coated with a nonstick finish and Cuisinart doesn’t recommend popping them in the dishwasher. So, It can take a bit of elbow grease to scrub off bits and pieces from the air fryer basket and burnt-on grease from the baking pan. When you cook something like chicken wings in the air fryer, juices and fat drip down onto the heating elements, which are not removable and not easy to clean. The walls of the oven are coated with a finish that makes them easy to wipe clean, but it is a bit tricky to reach into the oven to get to all the surfaces.
With this air fryer, you get an extremely thorough manual that includes cooking charts and recipe ideas.
As we had such poor baking results on the first oven we tested, we suspected that the oven might be a lemon. We contacted Cuisinart customer service and were able to quickly speak to a live person. After hearing our problem, the representative agreed that our oven sounded defective and within 10 days we received a new one. All we had to do was cut the cord on the first one and email an image of the cut cord to Cuisinart. We couldn’t have had a more positive customer service experience, although, as detailed in the cooking performance section of this review, the new oven had the same issues as the first one.
Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven review: Verdict
If you’re space challenged in the kitchen and want one multitasking product rather than several, the Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven can fill the bill as long as you don’t want to use it for baking. Unlike other toaster ovens we tested it can’t substitute for a full size oven when it comes to turning out cookies, cake, and even frozen pizza.
Although it doesn’t air fry quite as well as a dedicated air fryer, it can also be used to make your morning toast and roasts of all kinds.
The Cuisinart is a good-looking appliance that you won’t mind having permanently sitting on your countertop. It’s easy to use, but a little challenging to clean. Be wary of how hot the glass door gets through, and make sure it’s out of reach of children.

Cuisinart AirFryer Toaster Oven Review: Cook Anything
We purchased the Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven so our reviewer could put it to the test in her kitchen. Keep reading for our full product review.
Air fryers have come a long way from the single-task appliances they used to be when they first broke upon the small appliance scene, and the multitasking Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven is proof of that evolution.
You could say they gained popularity because they helped cook meals faster, needed less oil than frying, and made people (that would be me) love brussels sprouts. But if I am being honest, it does a few more things than that. It is a partner in crime in helping make just one cookie for yourself when the late-night snack craving comes knocking. Or, you may make two small portions of frozen chicken nuggets for the kids between activities. They help speed things up. And as their popularity increased, so did their functionality. It isn’t uncommon now to find air fryers with multiple preset programs and other additional cooking features.
They often double as the second oven, toaster, dehydrator, and even a dough proofing device. I couldn’t be more pleased with the addition of all these extra features because they reduce the total number of single-function appliances. But I am also wary, as sometimes the appliances do not deliver on the promise of crisp chicken wings or the best air-fried French fries.
Truly, eating a bendy French fry is not worth the calories or the disappointment, healthy or not.
To test all the new features in the Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven, I put it through some rigorous tasks. Of course, the first thing I made was the French fries, but then any air fryer worth its salt should be able to do that. In addition to the air frying capabilities, I wanted to see if I could say goodbye to my trusted toaster, make small batch apple chips without lugging out my huge dehydrator, and bake cookies and bagels without heating up the entire kitchen.
Read on to see how it performed.

Design: Sleek but needs dedicated space
The Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven isn’t compact by any means, but it is sleek enough to be left on the counter if you have the space. It looks like a countertop oven, and that works in its favor in the looks department. It is tall, which makes it easy to roast a 4-pound whole chicken.
The oven fits underneath the cabinets without blocking airflow. It has a single door that drops down on the counter, which wasn’t my favorite feature in the oven. Taking out the tray from the bottom rack position after cooking is tricky. There isn’t much space to grab the tray with mittens on. I found pinch mittens worked better, but I had to pay complete attention to not scrape my hand against the hot door. The construction is lightweight and is easy to move around for cleaning inside and around the oven.
If you are sitting on the fence about whether or not you need an air fryer and toaster oven, this one is worthy of a shot.
Performance: Quick and quiet but with a learning curve
With four heating elements on top and two at the bottom, the oven preheats super-fast. When using the bake function, the preheating time is included in the total time. For chocolate chip cookies, I set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 11 minutes, and the oven was ready to go in less than 3 minutes.
I made the mistake of not realizing that I only needed to put in the cookies, shut the door, and walk away. I pressed the start button again, which turned the oven off, and then I had to press start again. When I did this, the oven took another minute or so to preheat and come to temp. The cookies baked a lot faster than they do in my standard oven and had more browning on the edges.
I had the same results with French fries the first time I made them. They were slightly burnt at the edges. During the rest of the testing, I set the oven 25 degrees lower than my recipes required. Chicken wings turned out crisp from the outside and tender inside. The results were the same whether I used fresh wings or started with frozen. In the case of frozen wings, I sprayed some oil after about 10 minutes to give them the boost for that coloring and crispy texture. The French fries on my second try were fabulously crisp as were the purple sweet potato fries. Toasting bread and bagels resulted in uneven browning, so the oven definitely has hot spots.
The oven also has settings in the control panel for previously frozen foods like fries, nuggets, and pizza.
Being used to many appliances that have a fan that is noisy, this oven took me by surprise at how quietly it functioned.
The oven can get to 450 degrees Fahrenheit heat, but its strength also lies in the fact that it can go low for dehydrating and slow cooking. I dehydrated apples, garlic, ginger, and herbs, and the results surprised me. I would probably not be using it to dehydrate the produce from my garden, but when there is fruit on the counter that no one wants to eat, it would be easy to prolong its shelf life by dehydrating it. The dough proofing function is handy. I was able to speed up the proofing for bread doughs and made yeast-free bagels in less than two hours from start to finish. Other pre-set functions like toast, roast, broil, and pizza worked well as long as I reduced the suggested temperature. The reheat function works really well to reheat any food, especially pizza.
While I was able to make a pizza, I wasn’t super thrilled with the crust or the process.
Air-fried bacon might be my new favorite thing. This oven cooked an entire pack of it in minutes with less mess than on the stovetop, while I prepared the rest of the breakfast. I roasted a whole chicken at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 55 minutes. In under an hour, I had a perfectly roasted chicken that was evenly cooked. Overall, very impressive for an oven of its size.
The oven is super quiet. Being used to many appliances that have a fan that is noisy, this oven took me by surprise at how quietly it functioned. After cooking, it stays on to cool itself for a bit, but even that is super low volume.

The 8 Best Toaster Ovens of 2022
Features: Provides impressive control
The control panel is loaded with features to toast, broil, roast, dehydrate, air fry, etc., but what really impressed me was that I was able to fine-tune the preset features to my liking.
The preset is more like a guide panel pointing you in the right direction, but you have total control over choosing the time, temperature, and airflow. I found the single knob function very easy to operate. The oven is definitely user-friendly, and the presets take the guesswork out for someone just starting to cook. The oven capacity is good enough for a small family. I cooked 4.51 pounds of whole chicken, toasted six rounds of bagels or bread at one go, and made a 2-pound bag of French fries in no time. The dial gets hot during cooking, especially while air frying, so I had to be careful with it especially when using the oven for cooking multiple things one after the other.
There’s a little handy reference booklet that has all the time and temperature settings for foods. It conveniently slides into a slot underneath the oven for easy storage.

The 8 Best Countertop Ovens of 2022, Tested and Reviewed
Cleaning: Mostly easy
The baking pan and the frying basket are dishwasher safe, and I preferred to wash these in the dishwasher.
The stuck-on oil and caramelized starches that otherwise needed a good scrubbing cleaned really well in the dishwasher. The wire rack is not dishwasher safe, but it is very easy to just wash it by hand. The pull-out crumb tray slides right out for cleaning and also needs to be hand washed.
The one annoying thing about the cleanup is that the oven needs to be unplugged when you clean it from the inside. While this is a safety measure and not a problem by itself, the clock needs to be reset every time you unplug the oven. Technically you could just not reset the clock, and the oven would still function, but I found it annoying to have a clock in there and then have to reset it every time.
The oven can get to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, but its strength also lies in the fact that it can go low for dehydrating and slow cooking.
The oven can be cleaned with just a bit of dish soap and wiped with a cleaning towel. After cooking anything greasy, the oven needed to be cleaned at the top near the fan to keep it functioning properly.
Price: A worthy investment
The Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven Retails for around $300. Though it looks like it is steeply-priced, it is worthy of its price tag. There are other air fryers available for a cheaper price, however, the Cuisinart outshines a lot of them in its quiet functioning, versatility, and looks. If you have the means to invest and the space for it on the counter, go for it.

Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven vs. Instant Vortex Plus 10-Quart Air Fryer Oven
The Cuisinart Digital AirFryer is a toaster oven and an air fryer with multiple other functions like proof dough, dehydrate, and reheat. Meanwhile, the Instant Vortex Plus contains all the bells and whistles as far as air-fryers go. It cooks fast and has multiple features like roast, bake, broil, air fry, and dehydrate. The best feature about it is the rotisserie basket, so you don’t have to turn the food around. Even better, it retails for less than the Cuisinart option.
If you really want a toaster oven, though, that doubles as an air fryer, the Cuisinart is a contender that we found worthy of its price tag.
The Instant Vortex Plus 7-in-1 Air Fryer Oven Saves Time
Final Verdict
Make space for it.
Yes, the Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven will sit on the counter and take space, but it saves a lot of time with fast cooking and easy-to-clean features. If you are sitting on the fence about whether or not you need an air fryer and toaster oven, this one is worthy of a shot.

2 levels (may fit 9" (23 cm) by 12" (33 cm) baking trays) How to Choose the Best Airfryer
Choosing the best air fryer oven comes down to four main factors.
Capacity
Those who cook for larger households or want to cook multiple meals at the same time should consider one of the larger options, such as the Caloric oven.
Because it can be hard to tell how big the cooking area is for a given fryer just by looking at the pictures, you can check the website, Amazon page, or product reviews. See how many baking sheets can be used to cook food at once, what size chicken or turkey will fit in the oven, or how many slices of bread will fit on the rack.
These can all help you determine if the fryer is the right size for your family.
Price
Keep in mind that most fryers on this list cost between $100 and $300. If you want to spend at the bottom of this range, your options may be limited.
Additional features
You will also want to consider additional features. Many items are large enough to grill whole chickens and come with utensils to do so. Similarly, many of them are cold enough to be used as a dehydrator.
Customer Reviews
Finally, don't forget to check the reviews. If you see patterns in negative reviews, you should pay attention, especially if they are about security.
Airfryer Frequently Asked Questions
How does an airfryer work?
Air fryers work by using fans that quickly circulate hot air (usually from a heat lamp inside the unit) across a small area, cooking and crisping food.
This allows you to get the texture and crispiness of frying without using too much oil.
Are fryers sanitary?
Yes, air fryers are hygienic and safe to use.
Some users report that airfryer ovens can accumulate oily residue on the inside of the oven that can be difficult to remove, but wiping it down after each use (after the unit has cooled down) should help.
What can be cooked in the fryer oven?
The Airfryer can be used to cook a variety of dishes. Deep fryers are often used to cook meats such as pork chops and chicken breasts, as well as frozen packaged foods such as french fries and chicken nuggets.
These tabletop appliances often have a range of other functions in addition to air frying, allowing you to bake cakes and breads, make toast, cook pizza, roast vegetables, cook roasts and whole chickens, and dry fruits, vegetables and meats.
Many people use air grills as an alternative to conventional ovens. Depending on the size and capabilities of your deep fryer, you can cook anything you would in a conventional oven.
How do I clean the air fryer oven?
Allow the device to cool down. Take out the baking trays, pans and drip tray that you used during cooking and wash them as you would normal dishes.
Using a damp cloth, wipe the outside and inside of the airfryer oven to remove crumbs and grease.
It is recommended to do this after each use to prevent the accumulation of excess fat, which then becomes more difficult to clean.
Bottom line
Air fryer ovens are a great way to take advantage of the benefits of an air fryer, often with many extra features and more capacity than standard fryers.
