The Cuisinart TOA-65 Air Fryer Toaster Oven stands out as a superior kitchen workhouse, outperforming its predecessor the TOA-60 in nearly every test. Food Network Kitchen praised its digital interface and precise temperature control, while Bob Vila noted its powerful heating and 18 functions that include five air-fryer presets. The appliance's 18-quart capacity and 1,800-watt motor enable fast, versatile cooking, though reviewers caution that it runs hot and requires close attention. This model is ideal for users seeking a high-performing, multifunctional countertop appliance but may not suit those preferring simpler, less precise controls.

Strengths
  • Digital interface with precise temperature control in five-degree incriments
  • Outperforms the TOA-60 model on virtually every cooking test
  • Seven distinct cooking features including air fry, bake, and reheat

How they stack up

Cuisinart TOA-65 Air Fryer Toaster Oven

The Cuisinart TOA-65 outperforms the Ninja combo in nearly every test with its 18-quart capacity and 1,800-watt motor, but lacks the Breville's app integration and super convection features. Compared to the Gourmia models, it's less convenient with its door design and doesn't offer the integrated temperature probe, though it provides more precise temperature control and better overall cooking performance.

Unlike the Cuisinart TOA-65 which excels in precise temperature control and the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro which offers 13 cooking functions with super convection, the Ninja Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo stands out for its 8-in-1 functionality in a compact design that preheats in under a minute. However, it falls short of the Breville's app integration and the Cuisinart's 18-quart capacity, and suffers from messier grease management compared to the Gourmia models.
