The short answer

Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Toaster Oven

4.3

$264.29as of Jun 7

The Cuisinart TOA-60 is the best value air-fryer toaster oven: a ~$130, 1800W, 7-function unit that toasts six slices evenly and roasts a 4-lb chicken. RTINGS rates it good for toasting, though its air-fry crisp is closer to a convection oven than a true air fryer and its analog dials run hot. For a one-box toaster-oven-plus-occasional-air-fryer on a budget, it's a strong pick.

Strengths

— Adds a true air-fry basket plus 7 functions in one ~$130 countertop unit
— Makes evenly browned six-slice toast — RTINGS rates it good for toasting
— 1800W with a roomy 0.6 cu ft cavity — fits a 12-inch pizza or 4-lb chicken

Watch-outs

— Air-fry results are merely okay — close to convection-oven crisp, not true air-fryer crisp
— Analog dials lack precise temperature control and run hot
— TechGearLab measured the worst temperature accuracy in its test group

Ranked #4 in Best Toaster Ovens Under $200

Toshiba AC25CEW-BS Convection Toaster Oven

4.2

$99.97as of Jun 7

The Toshiba AC25CEW-BS is the best value toaster oven and America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy: a large 6-slice convection oven with 10 functions, a rotisserie kit, and 6 accessories for around $100. ATK found it "did a great job with almost every task," and third-party testers gave its convection pizza and crust 9.1-9.5/10. The console is fussier than the Breville's and it has no air-fry basket, but for capacity and features per dollar it's unbeatable.

Strengths

— America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy — "did a great job with almost every task" for the lowest price tested
— Large 6-slice cavity fits an 11-inch pizza or a 4-lb chicken
— 10 functions including a rotisserie kit — rare at this price

Watch-outs

— Console is trickier to navigate than the Breville's
— Broiling capability is limited
— No dedicated air-fry basket mode

How they stack up

Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer Toaster Oven

The value air-fryer pick: cheaper than the Breville Smart Oven Compact BOV670 and adds a real air-fry basket, but cooks less evenly and runs hotter. Crisps about as well as the Ninja Foodi SP101 but with simpler analog controls; bigger cavity than the Hamilton Beach 31156.

Toshiba AC25CEW-BS Convection Toaster Oven

The capacity-and-features-per-dollar champion: holds far more than the Breville Smart Oven Compact BOV670 or the compact air-fryer picks, and includes a rotisserie kit none of the others have. Cooks less evenly and with a fussier console than the Breville; no air-fry basket like the Cuisinart TOA-60 or Ninja Foodi SP101.
