The Best Air Fryer Toaster Ovens of 2026

Air fryer toaster ovens combine the speed and crisping of air frying with the versatility of a countertop oven. They’re designed for cooks who want to bake, toast, roast, and air fry in one appliance—and cook larger portions than a basket-style air fryer allows.

These appliances take up more counter space and don’t always crisp quite as aggressively as standalone air fryers, but they offer far more flexibility. We tested the best air fryer toaster ovens to find the models that balance air-fry performance with strong baking and roasting results. The Cuisinart Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven (available at Home Depot for $284.95) is the best you can buy.

Is an Air Fryer Toaster Oven Right for You?

Choose one if you:

• Want one appliance for baking, toasting, and air frying
• Cook larger portions or multiple items at once
• Replace your toaster or secondary oven

Skip if you:

• Only want the crispiest snacks possible
• Have limited counter space
• Cook small portions only

How We Test Air Fryer Toaster Ovens

To find our top picks, we test all the models for both air-fryer and toaster-oven performance. First, we test how well it toasts bread, like we do with traditional pop-up toasters. Can it produce a range of shades and toast evenly on each side? Can it toast bagels well?

We also cook frozen pizza, refrigerated biscuits, and broiled chicken breasts to see if they bake on the inside and brown on the outside in a reasonable amount of time. In each, we air-fry frozen French fries. In most cases, we also cook homemade French fries, frozen chicken nuggets, and Nashville hot chicken.

An important part of our rating process is convenience: the intuitiveness of the controls, the helpfulness of the cooking functions, and, of course, the ease of cleanup.

Since this is a relatively new category of appliances, the manual is critical in getting started. We checked whether each explains how to use the product thoroughly, provides guidelines for cooking specific foods, and includes recipes. During testing, we consider each product’s size, construction, design, and safety.

What To Know Before Buying An Air Fryer Toaster Oven

Toaster ovens can handle a whole range of tasks, from toasting four or more slices of bread to broiling, baking, and reheating. Toaster oven air fryers expand on that versatility.

Adding an air fry function gives you the capabilities of a toaster oven and an air fryer in one appliance, often with additional features. Some models can roast on a rotisserie, slow cook, or dehydrate, making them even more useful.

Air fryer toaster ovens are essentially convection ovens with high-speed fans that circulate hot air for browning and crisping.

They have some big advantages over dedicated air fryers. The air fry basket tends to be shallower but wider, letting you cook more food at once. It’s also easy to monitor cooking through the window and to pull out the basket to stir and flip over food.

However, few of these multifunction countertop ovens are the best at air frying. Many of these are for people who prioritize toasting and versatility over air frying. To get good results, you may need to extend cooking times and be vigilant about tossing, flipping, and rearranging.

They’re also generally harder to clean. While most air fryers have easy-to-clean air fry baskets, the stainless steel baskets and aluminum drip pans seen here can take some soaking and scrubbing to get spotless.

When you cook something in a batter—like shrimp or onion rings—or toss in a little oil — like homemade French fries —you might get messy drips on the heating elements that need cleaning. Some newer models are finally starting to offer stick-shift interiors, which is a big plus.

Since you’ll be using either the oven rack or the air fry basket, be sure you have space to store the one you’re not using, along with the baking dish and any other accessories.

What to Look For in an Air Fryer Toaster Oven

Ease of Cleaning

Let’s face it: If cleaning up after using your new oven takes as long as cooking does, it’s not doing you any favors. For easy cleaning, look for removable parts (or even better, removable and dishwasher-safe parts) like baskets and trays, and an easy-to-access crumb catcher with enough space to corral any stray crumbs. An exterior design that wipes clean easily (no sharp angles or nooks that can trap grease) ensures your air fryer toaster oven stays clean on the outside as well as the inside.

Smart Features

Well-designed features can turn a useful device into an essential one. Here’s what to look for. * Presets: Presets that match the way you cook take the guesswork out of using your air fryer toaster oven. Frequently used settings can include “toast,” “warm,” “bake,” or even “chicken.”

• Interior Lighting: Not every oven comes with a light inside, but it makes checking on doneness easier and faster — without opening the door and disturbing the cooking process.

• Wi-Fi Connectivity: Air fryer toasters that take advantage of Wi-Fi connectivity mean you can get updates on temperatures and cook time, or even adjust the settings over the app with some models, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen while things cook.

The Right Accessories

Your air fryer toaster is versatile as it is, but the right additions enhance its functionality even more.

• Trays: Whether aluminum nonstick, trays conduct heat evenly and make baking cookies or sheet-pan dinners easy.

• Adjustable wire racks: Perfect for all-around crisping, look for wire racks that can be moved within the oven.

• Pizza stone: No more soggy crusts here: A pizza stone holds onto the heat to mimic brick-oven cooking, giving you restaurant-style pizza at home.

• Rotisserie: There’s no substitute for the juicy, even cooking of a rotisserie, whether you’re making a chicken, a roast, or anything else.
