| Best overall | Best value | Cheapest that's still good | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product | Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven with Grill, TOA-70 | Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp Air Fryer Countertop Toaster Oven, 31403 | Ninja Flip Toaster Oven & Air Fryer, SP151 |
| Price | about $200 | about $60 | about $140 |
| Why | Good Housekeeping chose it as best overall after it cooked wings and fries quickly and evenly, with consistently golden toast and baked foods. It offers a useful mix of air-fry, toast, bake, broil, and grill functions without the premium price of larger smart ovens. | Good Housekeeping named the Sure-Crisp its best value, reporting evenly browned toast, well-melted pizza cheese, and quickly crisped wings and fries. It costs far less than the Cuisinart while still handling basic toaster-oven jobs. | RTINGS recommends it as its best cheap air-fryer toaster oven, noting decent, fairly quick air-frying and stable temperatures for baking and reheating. Recent Amazon price tracking showed it around $140, below the Cuisinart and many comparable ovens. |
| Good to know | Its accessories need hand-washing, and its powerful heat can take some getting used to. | Its mechanical timer and temperature controls are less precise than digital ones. | The chamber is short and awkward to clean by hand. |

What matters
Choose a size that fits your counter and the meals you cook, then weigh air-frying performance against how well it toasts and bakes. Controls, cleanup, and whether accessories are dishwasher-safe matter in daily use.
Who this is for
These picks suit people who want an air fryer and a countertop toaster oven in one appliance. If your main goal is the crispiest fries and you rarely bake or toast, a basket-style air fryer may suit you better.
The picks, one by one
Best overall: Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven with Grill, TOA-70
Good Housekeeping chose it as best overall after it cooked wings and fries quickly and evenly, with consistently golden toast and baked foods. It offers a useful mix of air-fry, toast, bake, broil, and grill functions without the premium price of larger smart ovens. In Good Housekeeping’s tests, wings and fries came out crisp and evenly cooked, while toast and baked foods browned consistently. The oven is powerful, so check food early and toss fries to avoid over-browning. It comes with an air-fry basket, grill pan, baking/drip pan, and wire rack. Skip it if you need dishwasher-safe air-frying accessories; the included accessories aren’t dishwasher-safe.
Good to know: Its accessories need hand-washing, and its powerful heat can take some getting used to.
See on AmazonBest value: Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp Air Fryer Countertop Toaster Oven, 31403
Good Housekeeping named the Sure-Crisp its best value, reporting evenly browned toast, well-melted pizza cheese, and quickly crisped wings and fries. It costs far less than the Cuisinart while still handling basic toaster-oven jobs. The compact oven fits a 12-inch pizza and has simple mechanical controls. Good Housekeeping tested it with wings, fries, toast, and pizza, and found notably even results for such an affordable model. Its three knobs are easy to use, though not as precise as digital controls. Choose the larger 6-in-1 Sure-Crisp if you need more capacity; this model is better for smaller kitchens and everyday portions.
Good to know: Its mechanical timer and temperature controls are less precise than digital ones.

RTINGS recommends it as its best cheap air-fryer toaster oven, noting decent, fairly quick air-frying and stable temperatures for baking and reheating. Recent Amazon price tracking showed it around $140, below the Cuisinart and many comparable ovens. RTINGS measured its air-frying performance with frozen fries and reported a 68.9% crispiness result and 18:57 to reach 45% moisture loss. Its standout convenience is that it flips upright for storage, freeing counter space when it’s not in use. The low, wide cooking chamber works better for flat foods than tall cakes or loaves. Skip it if you want a roomy oven interior or an especially easy-to-clean chamber.
Good to know: The chamber is short and awkward to clean by hand.
See on AmazonHow we chose
Good Housekeeping tested 24 air fryer toaster ovens, cooking wings and frozen fries and checking toast, pizza, cake, and steak for speed and evenness.
