Countertop ovens & air fryers

Convection, rotisserie, smart modes and real capacity.

What actually matters

  1. Rule 01

    Usable interior is always smaller than quoted quart numbers.

  2. Rule 02

    Quartz elements preheat faster and brown more evenly.

  3. Rule 03

    Removable, dishwasher-safe baskets decide long-term use.

Cosori TurboBlaze Air Fryer, 9-in-1, 6 Qt, PFAS-Free Ceramic Coating

$99.994.821,779 ratingsOur score 8.6/10

At under $100, this 6-quart basket model offers strong value backed by high user satisfaction. The ceramic nonstick coating avoids PFAS chemistry, though usable cooking surface area remains limited for multi-component meals. Check basket dimensions if you plan to cook whole proteins.

  • PFAS-free ceramic nonstick coating
  • Competitive sub-$100 price point
  • Strong user rating track record
  • Usable flat cooking area is restrictive
  • Lacks horizontal toaster oven versatility

No. 02 — Large families needing broad sheet-pan capacity

Emeril Lagasse 26QT French Door Multi-Function Air Fryer Toaster Oven

$189.994.317,754 ratingsOur score 7.9/10

The French-door layout and 26-quart enclosure handle multi-level cooking and wide pans. Its wide footprint requires permanent counter space, and keeping the deep internal walls clean takes significantly more effort than washing a basket. Check your clearance under upper cabinets before purchasing.

  • Substantial 26-quart rated capacity
  • Convenient French-door access
  • Versatile multi-rack interior layout
  • Substantial countertop space required
  • Interior cavity demands tedious manual cleaning

$399.954.513,099 ratingsOur score 8.3/10

Positioned at the premium end of the category, this oven provides the thermal control and volume to replace a built-in range. The brushed stainless construction is durable, but replacement trays and specialized accessories carry high costs. It requires dedicated counter space and a robust electrical circuit.

  • Heavy-duty stainless steel build
  • Expansive multi-rack internal capacity
  • Advanced element heating configuration
  • Substantial $400 financial investment
  • Bulky exterior footprint

$86.874.311,904 ratingsOur score 7.6/10

An affordable, wide-body toaster oven capable of fitting standard nine-by-thirteen-inch pans without handles. Convection airflow assists with browning, but basic metallic heating elements mean longer preheats than quartz-equipped alternatives. It handles daily baking basics without complex electronics.

  • Accommodates standard wide baking pans
  • Includes multiple racks and pans
  • Economical sub-$90 price point
  • Basic metal elements heat slower than quartz
  • Lacks dedicated high-velocity air fryer basket

Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven, 1800W, 8-in-1 with Air Fry, Convection, Broil & Warm, 0.6 Cubic Feet, 60-Minute Timer, TOA-70NAS, Stainless Steel

$219.954.47,850 ratingsOur score 7.7/10

With 1800 watts powering a compact 0.6-cubic-foot frame, this unit heats rapidly for everyday broiling and air frying. The analog-leaning interface is straightforward, but the wire mesh basket tends to collect grease and requires scrub-heavy maintenance. Check crumb tray clearance for regular maintenance.

  • High 1800-watt heat output
  • Compact 0.6 cubic foot counter footprint
  • Durable stainless steel housing
  • Wire mesh basket is difficult to clean
  • Interior walls require frequent manual wiping
BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Air Fry Toaster Oven, 5-in-1 Countertop Oven

No. 06 — Compact kitchens and solo portion cooking

BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Air Fry Toaster Oven, 5-in-1 Countertop Oven

$61.994.16,924 ratingsOur score 6.5/10

Designed for tight spaces and strict budgets, this four-slice oven handles basic morning toasting and light reheating. The interior volume is compact, severely limiting air frying efficiency to single portions. Thermal insulation is minimal, so the exterior chassis gets hot during operation.

  • Low entry-level price point
  • Minimal counter footprint required
  • Straightforward manual controls
  • Severely limited interior cooking volume
  • Basic heating elements lack precise heat distribution
Hamilton Beach 4 Slice Countertop Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo

No. 07 — Strict budgets requiring essential countertop cooking

Hamilton Beach 4 Slice Countertop Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo

$49.954.14,784 ratingsOur score 7.0/10

Priced under $50, this compact combo covers routine toast and small-batch snack crisping. Heat distribution is basic, and vertical clearance between the elements and food is narrow, increasing the chance of surface scorching. It suits basic utility needs where space is at a premium.

  • Very accessible price under $50
  • Lightweight and compact profile
  • Functional two-in-one utility design
  • Tight vertical clearance risks burning food
  • Basic chassis insulation bleeds heat

No. 08 — Quick individual meals and easy cleanup

Chefman Air Fryer – 4 QT Compact Airfryer for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes, Features Hi-Fry Technology for Extra Crisp, Touchscreen Controls with 4 Presets, Nonstick & Dishwasher Safe Basket - Black

$57.924.63,777 ratingsOur score 8.0/10

A dedicated small basket air fryer that simplifies weeknight cooking for single-person households. The dishwasher-safe basket simplifies post-meal maintenance, but the nominal 4-quart capacity fills up quickly when cooking side dishes. It heats rapidly without needing extensive preheating steps.

  • Dishwasher-safe nonstick basket
  • Compact footprint for minimal storage
  • Responsive touchscreen control panel
  • 4-quart volume limits portion sizes
  • Incapable of wide or flat baking tasks

Chefman Air Fryer – 6 QT Compact Airfryer for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes, Features Hi-Fry Technology for Extra Crisp, Touchscreen Controls with 4 Presets, Nonstick & Dishwasher Safe Basket - Black

$69.964.63,103 ratings

At roughly $70, this 6-quart model provides the surface area required for family-sized portions of proteins and vegetables. Maintenance is low-effort thanks to the removable nonstick basket, though the chassis demands significant vertical cabinet storage. It is an efficient standalone crisping tool rather than a multi-use oven.

  • Generous cooking capacity for under $70
  • Low-effort dishwasher-safe basket maintenance
  • Clean digital preset interface
  • Lacks traditional toaster oven functions
  • Bulky vertical profile when stored
Ninja Flip Toaster Oven & Air Fryer, 8-in-1, Stainless Steel, SP151

No. 10 — Space-conscious kitchens needing wide sheet baking

Ninja Flip Toaster Oven & Air Fryer, 8-in-1, Stainless Steel, SP151

$246.494.31,991 ratings

The vertical flip mechanism solves the issue of lost counter space by folding against the backsplash when idle. The shallow interior height prevents roasting upright poultry or tall baked items, restricting cooking to single-layer sheet pans. Preheating is rapid due to the concentrated cavity volume.

  • Flips vertically to restore counter space
  • Wide surface accommodates full sheet pans
  • Rapid preheating in a concentrated chamber
  • Shallow interior height limits food profile
  • Mid-tier price point exceeds standard toaster ovens
Elite Gourmet ETO4510MX French Door Convection Oven 47.5Qt, Stainless Steel

No. 11 — High-volume baking on a modest budget

Elite Gourmet ETO4510MX French Door Convection Oven 47.5Qt, Stainless Steel

$124.994.11,036 ratings

Offering a massive 47.5-quart capacity at $124.99, this model targets sheer interior volume per dollar. The cavernous interior takes longer to preheat using standard heating elements, requiring planning before large bakes. Exterior sheet metal feels light for its physical dimensions.

  • Huge 47.5-quart internal cavity
  • Dual French doors ease heavy loading
  • High capacity-to-price ratio
  • Large volume extends preheat durations
  • Lightweight exterior construction for its size
