10 Best Air Fryer Toaster Ovens of 2025 – Reviewed
Air fryers have become a staple in many homes, thanks to their ability to create crispy foods without lots of fat. When kitchen space is at a premium, an air fryer toaster oven combo may be the most efficient way to get the most out of your workspace.
After testing almost two dozen of these top-selling multifunctional appliances over the past several years (and dozens of traditional air fryers and toaster ovens), we’re confident that the Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven
(available at Amazon for $299.95)
is the best you can buy. It doesn’t compromise on any of its tasks.
If you want the convenience of two appliances at an unbeatable price, we recommend the Gourmia Digital Air Fryer Oven as our best value.

How We Test Air Fryer Toaster Ovens

We tested toaster settings just as seriously as we tested air fry functions on these combo appliances.
To find our top picks, we test all the models for both air fry and toaster oven performance. First, we test how well it toasts bread, like we do with traditional pop-up toasters. Can it produce a range of shades and toast evenly on each side? Can it toast bagels well?
We also cook frozen pizza, refrigerated biscuits, and broiled chicken breasts to see if they bake on the inside and brown on the outside in a reasonable amount of time. In each, we air-fry frozen French fries. In most, we also cook homemade French fries and chicken nuggets, frozen nuggets, and Nashville hot chicken.
An important part of our rating process is convenience: the intuitiveness of the controls, the helpfulness of the cooking functions, and of course the ease of cleanup.
Since this is a relatively new category of appliances, the manual is critical in getting started. We check to see if each explains how to use the product thoroughly, provides guidelines for cooking specific foods, and includes recipes. During testing, we consider each product’s size, construction, design, and safety.
What To Know Before Buying An Air Fryer Toaster Oven

A good air fryer toaster oven fits more food than a single-function air fryer, but your food may not turn out as crispy.
Toaster ovens can handle a whole range of tasks, from toasting four or more slices of bread to broiling, baking, and reheating. Toaster oven air fryers expand on that versatility.
Adding an air fry function gives you capabilities of a toaster oven and air fryer in one appliance, often with additional features as well. Some models can roast on a rotisserie, slow cook, or dehydrate, making them even more useful.
Pros and Cons Of Using An Air Fryer Toaster Oven
All air fryer toaster ovens are basically convection ovens with fans that operate at a high speed to circulate hot air for browning and crisping.
They have some big advantages over dedicated air fryers. The air fry basket tends to be shallower but wider, letting you cook more food at once. It’s also easy to monitor cooking through the window and to pull out the basket to stir and flip over food.
However, few of these multifunction countertop ovens are the best at air frying. Many of these are for people who prioritize toasting and versatility over air frying. To get good results, you may have to extend cooking times and be vigilant about tossing, flipping over, and rearranging.
They’re also generally harder to clean. While most air fryers have easy to clean nonstick air fry baskets, the stainless steel baskets and aluminum drip pans seen here can take some soaking and scrubbing to get spotless.
When you cook something in a batter—like shrimp or onion rings—or toss in a little oil like homemade French fries, you might get messy drips on the heating elements that will need to be cleaned off. Some newer models are finally starting to include nonstick interiors, which is a big plus.
Since you’ll be using either the oven rack or the air fry basket, be sure you have space to store the one you’re not using, as well as the baking dish and any other accessories.
