Hot take: Air fryer toaster ovens are the kitchen-appliance equivalent of unicorns. They’re magical, they’re majestic, and… they don’t exist. Much like The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, Diddy, and Snoop Dogg an air fryer is still a talented convection oven—it just goes by a different name. Most air fryer toaster ovens are designed with at least one large convection fan on top to cook your food, but their fans move faster than those of convection ovens, which allows heat to circulate more rapidly.

We sat down with the Director of their Kitchen Appliances & Culinary Innovation Lab, Nicole Papantoniou, to discuss her team’s extensive research on all things air fryers so we could identify the best of the bunch and help you do the same. “Most air fryers have heating elements only on the top and are paired with a large fan that circulates hot air very quickly,” Papantoniou explained. “Some may compare air frying to convection baking because convection baking also uses a fan, but the fan is typically smaller and placed on the side or back of the oven. A convection fan also doesn’t typically run as fast as an air fryer fan.”

These easy-to-use machines often feature buttons, dials, and even pre-programmed cooking settings for popular foods like frozen pizza—all to make your life easier and cut down how much time you spend in the kitchen, so you can enjoy your food and go about your day. With an air fryer toaster oven, the possibilities are endless: You can toast bread for the ultimate club sandwich, bake some classic, fluffy donuts, or even roast a whole rotisserie chicken.“

Air fryer toaster ovens are truly multifunctional, combining the best of air fryers and toaster ovens,” says the Good Housekeeping Institute. From the most reliable air fryer toaster ovens from top brands (like Breville, Cosori, and Instant Pot) to the models that offer the best features (like timers and cooking settings), our top choices for air fryer toaster ovens will help you bake, air fry, reheat, and toast to your heart’s delight.

Our top picks

How we picked these products

To find the best air fryer toaster oven, we turned to our friends at the Good Housekeeping Institute, who have identified the best, highest-rated brands and put them to the test. Their team of on-staff experts—which includes all types: engineers! data analysts! registered dietitians!—rigorously put everyday products to the test (and then more and more tests) in their New York City-based labs to determine which ones you can trust.

From air frying frozen wings and fries to baking cakes and searing steaks, these Kitchen Tech Experts put a multitude of models (15, in fact!) through rigorous tests to analyze their user-friendliness, efficiency, cleanability, noise level during operation, and temperature range. After reviewing their findings and discussing their road tests in-depth with Papantoniou, we’ve determined that these are the best air fryer toaster ovens you can buy in 2022.

Best Air Fryer Toaster Oven

Cuisinart TOA-65 Convection Toaster Oven Air Fryer

Cuisinart TOA-65 Convection Toaster Oven Air Fryer

Pros

  • Heats quickly and evenly

Cons

  • May overcook food

Break up with your other appliances: The Cuisinart TOA-65 Convection Toaster Oven Air Fryer comes with all the features you need, and then some. This unit’s 13 features (which include air fry, bake, broil, toast, bagel, pizza, roast, dehydrate, proof, reheat, and warm) will make you kick your other kitchen gadgets to the curb.

Whether you’re whipping up a light snack of cinnamon apple chips or a super-satisfying grilled cheese lunch, this intuitive air fryer cooks food evenly and in record time—but be sure to keep an eye on your food.

Because the TOA-65 can shave several minutes off a frozen snack’s suggested cooking time, the Good Housekeeping Institute recommends “using a lower temp and keeping a close eye on food to help prevent burning.” And when you’re done, just wipe down the handy crumb tray and you are ready to make another batch—it’s that easy!

Best Budget Air Fryer Toaster Oven

Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp Toaster Oven

Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp Toaster Oven

Pros

  • Affordable

Cons

  • Lower cook time range

An air fryer toaster oven may seem like a pricey small appliance, but the Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp is proof that you don’t have to spend a ton of dough to bake a bunch of (cookie) dough. Boasting a baking pan, broiling rack, rack, air frying basket, and even a slide-out crumb tray, this convenient and cost-effective countertop appliance is designed with three rack positions for flexibility.

The user-friendly control panel offers four cooking options—air frying, toasting, baking and broiling—and a temperature range of 200° to 450° F. But that’s not all! Rounding out the Sure-Crisp’s intuitive design are three knobs to control the cooking functions, temperature, and timer, which has a range of 10-30 minutes.

While the Sure-Crisp “toasted bread and baked pizza very evenly in a relatively short amount of time,” the Good Housekeeping Institute’s testers were most impressed with its air frying capabilities, noting “It made crispy and juicy wings and crispy fries that weren’t dried out.” From toasting six slices of bread to crisping up a 12-inch pizza, there’s nothing you can’t do with this model—you can even roast a 5-pound chicken!

June Oven

Pros

  • Good for large batches
  • Impressive smart features

Cons

  • Pricey

There’s nothing bad about being bougie! Putting the “smart” in “smart appliance,” the ultra-intuitive June Oven streamlines every step of your food-preparation process, thanks to its intuitive touchscreen, interior lights, and three rack positions. All you have to do is pop in your food, wait for the inner camera to detect and identify it, and then either press the Start Cooking button to follow the June’s suggested cooking method or manually choose your own—available functions include convection bake, toast, broil, slow cook, reheat, and keep warm.

This high-tech gadget earned top marks as the easiest to use and second-best model overall during the Good Housekeeping Institute’s tests, but panelists did note that this unit took longer to preheat and the “really wide rack [is] good to spread things out” but “doesn't go in smoothly.” Couple that with a full one-year warranty and the June Oven is a worthy investment if you want a smart appliance that will upgrade your kitchen to genius-level (and money is no object).

Most Versatile Air Fryer Toaster Oven

Instant Pot Omni Plus Air Fryer Toaster Oven

On Sale
Instant Pot Omni Plus Air Fryer Toaster Oven

Pros

  • Multiple cooking functions
  • 7 toast settings

Cons

  • Large footprint

Some kitchen appliances claim they can do it all, but when push comes to shove, they fall flat. The Instant Pot Omni Plus, however, lives up to its name thanks to features like a double-layer glass door for optimal insulation, golden quartz infrared heating elements for consistent performance, and a digital display that allows you to track the cooking process from start to finish. This model also comes with everything you need to get the absolute most out of your air fryer toaster oven, such as an enamel baking tray, stainless-steel oven rack, air frying basket, rotisserie spit, forks, and a lift tool.

Calling the Omni Plus “very big and powerful,” Papantoniou especially appreciated the display, saying it “was easy to read and it [alerts] you at the halfway mark so you can flip or toss foods.”

Boasting an adjustable temperature range of 170° to 450° F, this small appliance uses dual radiant heat to preheat faster while ensuring your food stays juicy and evenly cooked. And boy, oh, boy, can it cook! In addition to using Instant’s Even Crisp technology for air frying, the Omni Plus’ nine other cooking modes include bake, broil, roast, reheat, rotisserie, convection, dehydrate, warm, and, of course, toast—it even has a whopping seven customizable doneness settings.

Your only challenge will be making space on your counter, as this (absolute) unit has a large enough capacity to prepare a 4-pound whole chicken, a 12-inch pizza, or six slices of a crusty sourdough.

Best Small Capacity Air Fryer Toaster Oven

GE Digital Air Fryer Toaster Oven

On Sale
GE Digital Air Fryer Toaster Oven

Pros

  • Advanced control panel
  • Beautiful, compact design

Cons

  • No interior light
  • Hand-wash only

Dare we say, the GE Digital Air Fryer Toaster Oven is just as pretty (and nearly as smart) as the June Oven, but at a fraction of the size and price. This sleek countertop appliance sacrifices some features to account for its compact size (including an interior light) but it still has the capacity to toast six bagel halves, bake a 12-inch pizza, and even roast an 8-pound chicken. However, it certainly doesn’t skimp on quality: Part of the appeal of this brushed stainless steel unit is its unique square-shaped design, which features rounded corners, a large handle, and two control dials. Plus, it comes with all the accessories you’ll need to get the full experience, including an air fry basket, baking rack, baking pan, and removable crumb tray drawer.

“For [the] GE, it comes in different colors with these pretty chrome handles. They’re designed to match the GE Café line,” explained Papantoniou. She noted that the small LCD screen “seems pretty advanced in terms of a digital control panel with lots of settings,” (it even shows the temperature while it cooks!) and remarked that “it also has a large interior and makes a nice countertop oven.”

In addition to offering an advanced cooking mode that circulates heat to ensure consistently even results, the GE Digital Air Fryer Toaster Oven has eight cooking functions—air fry, toast, bake, broil, roast, convection, keep warm, and even proof if you’re in the mood to bake some homemade whole wheat bread. It may take a little extra elbow grease to get this model clean, as GE recommends you hand-wash all the parts. But we think that’s a worthy sacrifice if you’re looking for a small, capable model that will help you maximize your time, budget, and valuable kitchen counter real estate.

Best Large Capacity Air Fryer Toaster Oven

Breville The Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

On Sale
Breville The Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

Pros

  • Large capacity
  • Tons of accessories

Cons

  • Longer wait time
  • Heavy

Whether you’re the designated game day get-together host among your friends or you live in a large household, one thing’s for sure: Breville’s The Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is a crowd-pleaser, literally. As the largest (and second-heaviest) countertop oven on our list, it can comfortably accommodate nine slices of bread, a 14-pound turkey, a 5-quart Dutch oven, and most 9 x 13-inch sheet pans and 12-cup muffin trays—which means less wait time between batches, and therefore, fewer apologies for hanger-induced outbursts.

What’s even more impressive is that The Smart Oven features a convenient interior light and 13 cooking functions, including air fry, toast, bake, roast, slow cook, broil, warm, and even dehydrate. Plus, it comes with a ton of accessories, such as a heavy-duty and dishwasher-safe enameled baking pan, enameled broiling rack, removable crumb tray, 13-inch pizza pan, and a mesh basket for air frying and dehydrating.

The Good Housekeeping Institute’s testers were impressed with this robust countertop appliance’s ease of use, consistency, and even heating, but they did note that “It received a longer time for toasting, which may be a function of its larger capacity; however it did toast more evenly.”

Pros

  • Flips upright for storage

Cons

  • Small capacity

The Ninja SP101 Digital Air Fry Countertop Oven is the Houdini of air fryer toaster ovens: It can make itself disappear! This unit can be flipped up against your backsplash for easy storage. This convenience comes at a cost, though. While it can’t fit a large roast or a whole chicken like the rest of our picks, it can still accommodate a 13-inch pizza or up to six 6- to 8-ounce chicken breasts.

The Ninja SP101 has everything you need and then some, including cooking functions to air fry, bake, dehydrate, air broil, air roast, keep warm, and toast bagels and up to 9 slices of bread to your preferred level of darkness. Furthermore, it takes only 60 seconds to preheat, and its Digital Crisp Control Technology offers precisely monitors and adjusts its temperature, heat source, and airflow for optimal performance. Factor in its quartet of useful accessories (a sheet pan, wire rack, air frying basket, and removable crumb tray) and you’ll never want to cook with any other appliance again.

Like the Ninja Foodi Smart XL, Papantoniou said the Ninja SP101 “also air fries well and evenly,” and was quick to point out its unique design: “The way it folds up for storage is very neat. It’s also easy to wipe the inside clean because the bottom releases when it’s in the upright position for storage.”

Pros

  • 3-in-1 design
  • Tons of accessories

Cons

  • Not 100% smokeless

If you can't grill outside for whatever reason, the Power XL Air Fryer Electric Indoor Grill will ease your BBQ FOMO. This multipurpose gadget performs triple duty as an air fryer, toaster oven, and a nearly smokeless grill, so you can prepare a variety of foods (like a 10-pound whole chicken, up to six hamburgers, rotisserie kebabs, and some truly divine air fryer desserts) right on your countertop.

Although Papantoniou hasn’t used this model herself, she explained, “PowerXL is known for their air fryers, and that feature has performed well and quickly in our tests.” And the Power XL Air Fryer Electric Indoor Grill is sure to be no different with its superheated cyclonic air technology, which ensures your food is nice and crispy on the outside and evenly cooked on the inside.

In addition to offering manual settings, this unit has eight cooking functions: air fry, toast/bagel, grill, broil, pizza/bake, rotisserie, reheat, and air fry/grill. Plus, it comes with a bunch of dishwasher-safe accessories, including a baking pan, stainless steel roasting rack, rotisserie spit, stainless steel mesh fry basket, nonstick grill grate, egg and muffin pan, drip tray, and a nonstick griddle pan that’s heat safe up to 450° F.

Best Air Fryer Oven with Rotisserie

Cosori Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo

On Sale
Cosori Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo

Pros

  • Great performance
  • Sleek, intuitive design

Cons

  • Longer cook times
  • Preheating required

Listen, we love a $5 Costco rotisserie chicken as much as you do. But let’s be real, sometimes you don’t feel like leaving the comfort of your own home. That’s what the Cosori Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo is for. This small appliance comes with plenty of accessories, including a rotisserie spit, baking sheet, wire rack, air fry basket, crumb tray, and rotisserie fork set.

Papantoniou said the Cosori “air fried well and performed other toaster oven tasks well. It also came with a rotisserie feature, which worked well.” Furthermore, she pointed out: “I also liked the display and control panel. Overall it’s a sleek machine that still offers a large capacity.”

In fact, its 32-quart capacity can fit a whole, 5-pound chicken, up to 6 slices of bread, or a 13-inch pizza. All you have to do is Instacart all the necessary ingredients and you’ve got yourself a winner winner chicken dinner. What’s more, you can choose between 12 cooking modes: air fry, toast, rotisserie, bake, broil, roast, bagel, pizza, cookies, dehydrate, ferment, and keep warm. But according to the Good Housekeeping Institute, “The one downside is [that the] wings took about 20 minutes longer to cook… and an extra six minutes to preheat. The results, however, were worth it: Crispy, juicy, and even.”

Ninja DT251 Foodi Smart XL Air Fry Oven

On Sale
Ninja DT251 Foodi Smart XL Air Fry Oven

Pros

  • Consistent performance
  • User-friendly

Cons

  • Large footprint

Forget delivery and drive-thrus: With enough space to fit two 12-inch pizzas (or, if you’re feeling healthier, a whole 5-pound chicken and a tray of roasted veggies), the Ninja Foodi Smart XL will be your new one-stop shop for your meals. This countertop appliance takes only 90 seconds to preheat—that’s 30 percent faster than most convection ovens—and has two levels for cooking!

Praising the Foodi Smart XL for being “a good air fryer and toaster oven,” Papantoniou noted that “bread toasted very evenly” during the Good Housekeeping Institute’s road tests. But that’s not all: “My favorite thing about this toaster oven is how easy it is to program,” she continued. “The buttons are on the handle and all the functions and settings are clearly spelled out.” As one of the most user-friendly air fryer toaster ovens we recommend, this countertop cooker is nearly fool-proof. After selecting your cooking mode, it illuminates the best oven rack position for optimal results, and the display settings freeze to prevent any accidental changes to the cook cycle every time the door is open.

Though you’ll need to make some extra room on your countertop, the Foodi Smart XL comes fully-loaded with everything you need to get cooking. That includes two sheet pans, two wire racks, air fry basket, roasting tray, crumb tray, and, our personal favorite feature—a built-in, probe-style Foodi Smart Thermometer that allows you to select your preferred level of doneness with just the touch of a button on the control panel. And it’s not just the accessories that make this model stand out: With 10 cooking functions, this baby can air fry, bake, toast (both bread and bagels!), broil, reheat, dehydrate, bake a pizza, and whole and air roast.

Are air fryer toaster oven combos worth it?

line break

How do you know if an air fryer toaster oven is right for you? Before you go into shopping mode, it’s important to know one thing: There is a difference between an air fryer and an air fryer toaster oven.

“Air fryers are typically stand alone products that only air fry while air fryer toaster ovens can air fry, bake, toast, and oftentimes more,” explained Papantoniou. “The difference lies in the amount of heating element each has. Air fryers typically only have heating elements on the top of the oven, while air fryer toaster ovens have them on the bottom as well.”

The best air fryer toaster oven is one that can roast, broil, and toast quickly and evenly. During the Good Housekeeping Institute’s tests, all of our recommendations earned top scores for their ability to do everything from air fry to bake. But to find the air fryer toaster oven that is most worth it for you, you’ll want to consider your household size, counter space, and accessories. Some models come with more cooking baskets, shelves, and rotisseries than others, so that's something to consider when taking your pick from our list. There are also some tasks that your standard oven simply can’t perform—or at least perform as well as an air fryer toaster oven.

“Air fryer toaster ovens can air fry, which regular ovens can’t do unless equipped with a special function,” Papantoniou noted. Plus, they “also heat up faster than regular ovens because they’re smaller.” This ability to heat quickly also contributes to a unit’s energy consumption. (And if you’re planning on using your air fryer toaster oven as your primary cooking source, it makes sense that you’d want to know whether they use more energy than ovens and other appliances.) Though an air fryer is usually more powerful than a toaster oven, this isn’t necessarily the same for standard ovens because a lot of other factors come into play, like fuel source, age, and insulation. That said, air fryer toaster ovens require constant energy use, whereas most ovens don’t. So these countertop units are great for making a quick meal or snack, but if you’re planning on using it for an extended period of time, it likely won’t be more energy efficient than an oven.

Do air fryer toaster ovens work well?

line break

Air fryer toaster ovens really can do it all and do it well… if you use them properly. Here are some tips for getting the most out of yours:

  • For best results, arrange the food in a single layer whenever possible. (Plus, you won’t need to flip unless they’re over an inch thick.)
  • Stack foods that can’t sit on top of each other (like fries) and shake often so they cook evenly.
  • For optimal crispiness, use an oil spray or just brush it on your food.
  • Air fryers (and, for multipurpose appliances, air fryer settings) typically yield the best results when you cook food at the highest temperature for the shortest amount of time. But those rules don’t always apply. It may seem counterintuitive, but you’re better off c choosing a slightly lower temperature when it comes to thicker foods. But no matter what, defer to your appliance’s instruction manual!
