Performance
Instead of asking what the Cuisinart Toaster Oven Air Fryer can do, it’s better to ask what it can’t do. Being versatile is its best performing trick. You can choose between 7 different functions: air fry convection bake convection broil bake broil warm and toast. This means you can go from air frying foods like chicken wings on its air fryer basket to baking a 12-inch pizza with its convection oven function. None of the air fryers on our list are as versatile as the Cuisinart TOA-60, not even our top, the COSORI Electric Air Fryer Max XL.
Design
Because the Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven has so many heating functions, it was bound to be large—and it is. Toaster ovens tend to be on the larger side, anyways, and this one isn’t the exception. You’ll need some serious counter space for this. At 21 lbs and dimensions of 15.5 x 16 x 14 inches, this isn’t something you stash in your cabinets, unlike GoWISE USA 3.7 Quart Air Fryer. It also doesn’t have any touchscreen features; it’s all old school knobs. Inside is an oven rack and fryer basket, which is dishwasher safe.
Value
Aside from hot air bake convection, the Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven is the most versatile air fryer on our list, excluding the ability to dehydrate. Judging its performance and what it offers, $199 is a justifiable price—just make sure you have the counter space. Because it can do so much, you’ll see that money being well-spent, especially if you have a large family. In other words: it pays for itself. Having an automatic shut off feature alone is more than most air fryers will offer. If fewer features and a cheaper price are what you’re after, the GoWISE USA GW22731 might suit you.
Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven Wrap Up
The Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven TOA-60 is the definition of a workhorse; it can do more than just air fry food with less oil than normal means. It does just as well baking your favorite 12-inch pizza, too. Sure, it’s the largest item on our list, and the knobs are old school, but the knobs are easy to read and understand. This is a fine addition to any large family.
