Cuisinart - Compact Air Fryer Toaster Oven TOA-26

I have that lid, too, but it’s bulky and I rarely use it because the “air fryer”basket is so small. It’s great for roasting frozen chicken if you just want one or two pieces and haven’t had time to defrost. I much prefer my Cuisinart “toaster oven broiler” with convection. Add a basket and it’s sort of an air fryer, too, but it can accommodate a much larger 13” pan, a quarter baking sheet, etc.

I have an air fryer and an air fryer toaster oven (cuisinart). The air fryer works MUCH better. It cooks faster and gets things much crispier. The toaster oven version works good as an oven replacement, but it is not as good of an air fryer. It is good for frozen pizzas or reheating leftovers though (pizza won’t fit in the air fryer, and some things you want more of a gentle reheat than a crispy cook). I think the toaster oven ones just tend to have less powerful fans and more area to move air about so they don’t convect the air as well as the basket units.

We have one of the cuisinart combos and it works pretty well. It’s a better toaster oven than an air fryer only because it doesn’t have a basket or drawer like the air fryers, but it still does air frying decently well. I used the broiler function a lot for heating up pizza slices or putting a crust on top of baked items. My only complaint is that the display is acting up after about 3 years of hard use, so the timer isn’t very useful so I just set timers on my phone for it.

Same for us. Very happy with it, but I will say it doesn’t get battered food quite as crispy as some air friers. 2-3x better than a normal oven but a step behind what you see in air fryer videos.

I have only had it for a year so I cant say much about the longevity, but I have the stainless steel cusineart 1800w air fryer from Target. At the time it was on sale $99, a lot cheaper than similar ones from other brands. Seems like a decent device to me.

Do you have glass air fryers in India? I bought a Salton glass air fryer and it is not toxic, goes to 400F, takes the same time to cook fries, fish, steak... I love it. I also bought a Cuisinart oven toaster air fryer but I do not like it for an air fryer: takes longer to cook, is difficult to clean and it costs more. I also bought the Ninja air fryer and stopped using it because the coating was flaking. Dangerous. Good luck!

I am single with a kid and the Cuisinart one the is more like a toaster over/air fryer combo is really now my go to! I air fry chicken breast /veggies etc along with toast- it’s my go to- I hardly use my oven any more since it’s takes so much longer to preheat etc ( also makes house hot in the summer)

There’s air fryers shaped like mini ovens with multiple functions like toast, bake, air fry. I have a Cuisinart one that’s really good

We have the same brand and have shared this experience. Well made and it is actually a pretty good toaster too.
