Ninja Foodi SP101 Digital Air Fry Oven vs Toshiba AC25CEW-BS Convection Toaster Oven

Which is the better buy? Side-by-side on rating, price, strengths, and watch-outs — with the published ratings we averaged to get there.

The short answer

Ninja Foodi SP101 Digital Air Fry Oven comes out ahead by a narrow margin (4.3 vs 4.2). The gap is mostly about small-kitchen cooks who want air fry plus even toast and need to reclaim counter space when the oven isn't in use — read the strengths below before deciding.

$249.99as of Jun 7

The Ninja Foodi SP101 is the best space-saving pick: an 8-in-1 digital air-fry oven that flips up vertically to reclaim counter space. Reviewed.com found it toasts very evenly and heats up fast, and it fits 9 slices of toast or a 13-inch pizza. Its air-fry mode can crisp unevenly versus a dedicated air fryer, and it can't hold tall items, but for small kitchens that want air fry plus toast, the flip-away design is uniquely practical.

Strengths
  • Flip-away design folds vertically to free up counter space when not in use
  • Toasts very evenly and heats up fast — Reviewed.com praised even toasting
  • 8-in-1: Air Fry, Air Roast, Air Broil, Bake, Bagel, Toast, Dehydrate, Keep Warm
Watch-outs
  • Air-fry results can come out uneven versus a dedicated air fryer
  • No setting for extremely light toast
  • Can't hold tall items like a whole chicken
Toshiba AC25CEW-BS Convection Toaster Oven
Ranked #4 in Best Toaster Ovens Under $200
Toshiba AC25CEW-BS Convection Toaster Oven
$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

Ninja Foodi SP101 Digital Air Fry Oven

The space-saver: its flip-away body reclaims counter space no other pick here offers. Crisps about as well as the Cuisinart TOA-60 with better digital controls; less even-baking than the Breville Smart Oven Compact BOV670; holds more toast than the Hamilton Beach 31156 but can't take tall items like the Toshiba AC25CEW's rotisserie chicken.

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.
