An air fryer toaster oven is the appliance that lets you get rid of two others: it toasts bread and bagels like a toaster oven, bakes a tray of cookies or a 12 inch pizza like a small oven, and runs a high-speed fan over a mesh basket to crisp fries and wings like a basket air fryer. The best ones do all three well; the mediocre ones toast unevenly and air fry softly. We ranked the air fry countertop ovens in our home and kitchen catalog by how owners rate the air fry crispness, by interior capacity and what actually fits, by toast evenness and preheat time, by controls and presets, by footprint and cleaning, and by what thousands of owners report after a year on the counter.
We have not cooked in every one ourselves; the verdicts rest on the spec sheets and on the owner review history. Prices are not printed because they change daily; every button opens the live Amazon page. For a plain toaster oven without air fry see our toaster ovens guide, and for basket-style machines the air fryers and large air fryers for families guides.
How we picked
- A real air fry mode. Every pick has a dedicated air fry function with a basket and a high-speed fan, not just a convection setting relabeled.
- It must still toast. Owners were our judge of toast evenness, and ovens with widespread burnt-edge complaints were dropped.
- Capacity honestly measured. We list what fits: slices of toast, pizza size, whole chicken or not.
- Footprint. Countertop ovens are big; we note the compact and flip-up designs and the ones that need a wide counter.
- Owner ratings of 4.3 stars or better, with six picks past 2,800 reviews and three past 16,000.
The picks
Ninja Digital Air Fry Countertop Oven, 8-in-1, XL, Silver, SP101

The Ninja SP101 is the air fryer toaster oven that solved the counter problem: when you are done, it flips up and stores against the backsplash on half the footprint. In use it is a wide, shallow 1,800 watt oven that preheats in about a minute, fits a 13 inch pizza, nine slices of toast or six chicken breasts on its sheet pan, and air fries on a mesh basket with Digital Crisp Control managing temperature, heat source and fan. Owners rate it 4.6 stars across 26,000 reviews, the biggest and best record on this page, and the common praise is speed and crisp results. The design that lets it flip also limits it: the cavity is low, so a whole chicken, a tall casserole or a loaf tin will not fit, and the crumb tray takes some work. For toast, pizza, sheet-pan dinners and fries it is the one.
- 26,000 owners at 4.6 stars, the most-reviewed air fry oven here
- Flips up to store, so it stops being a permanent counter hog
- 60-second preheat and 13 inch pizza capacity
- Air roast cooks up to 60 percent faster than a regular oven per Ninja
- Low and wide; a whole chicken or tall dish does not fit
- Wide footprint when in use
- Crumb tray and back panel take some effort to clean
Emeril Lagasse 26QT French Door Multi-Function Air Fryer Toaster Oven

The Emeril French Door is the air fryer oven for a household that cooks for four or more: 26 quarts holds a whole chicken on the rotisserie, a 12 inch pizza or a full tray of cookies, and its French doors swing open with a single pull without needing clearance in front, which is why owners put it where a wall oven would be impossible. A dual-speed fan drives 360 degree air circulation for the air fry and roast modes, 24 presets cover everything from bagels to dehydrating, and the toast mode shuts off on a timer with an indicator light. Owners rate it 4.3 stars across 17,000 reviews. The complaints are what a big stainless box invites: it needs a wide, deep counter, the exterior runs hot, toast is less even than in the Breville, and there is a drawer of accessories to store. For capacity per dollar it leads the page.
- 17,000 owners at 4.3 stars for a family-size oven
- French doors need no clearance in front and look built in
- 24 presets including rotisserie and dehydrate
- Whole chicken and 12 inch pizza capacity
- Large: needs a wide, deep counter
- 4.3 stars: some owners report uneven toast and a hot exterior
- Many accessories to store
Emeril Lagasse Everyday 360 Air Fryer Oven, 9-in-1 Countertop Oven

The Everyday 360 is the mid-size Emeril and for many kitchens the better fit: it keeps the rotisserie spit, the five heating elements and the 360 degree Quick Cook airflow of the bigger oven in a box that takes less counter, and 16,000 owners rate it 4.4 stars, a notch above the French Door. Its 930 cubic inch cavity takes six slices of bread, a 12 inch pizza or a medium bird, and the 16 functions on the LCD panel include slow cook, dehydrate, bagel and pizza alongside air fry, bake and roast. Emeril is candid that the five trays and the spit eat into usable space and that large portions need batches, and the panel looks dated next to the Ninja and Breville. As a do-everything oven for two to four people with a rotisserie habit, it is excellent value.
- 16,000 owners at 4.4 stars
- Five elements and a rotisserie in a mid-size box
- Slow cook and dehydrate as well as air fry and toast
- Smaller footprint than the French Door model
- Accessories reduce usable interior space
- Large portions need batch cooking
- Older design with a plain LCD panel
Breville BOV860BSS Smart Oven Air Fryer, Brushed Stainless Steel

The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is the premium pick for the simple reason that it bakes and toasts better than the rest: five quartz elements under Element iQ control steer power to where the food is and PID control removes the temperature swings that give cheaper ovens pale centers and burnt edges. Super convection runs the fan hard enough that air fry results are properly crisp, and the cavity takes six slices, a 13 inch pizza, a roast chicken or a 4.4 quart Dutch oven for the slow cook mode. Eleven functions sit behind a clear LCD and a dial, and owners rate it 4.5 stars across 3,200 reviews, often after replacing a cheaper oven that disappointed them. It costs two to three times the Ninja, it is heavy and wide, and the door glass needs wiping to stay clear. For a kitchen that bakes as much as it fries, it is worth it.
- Element iQ gives the most even toast and bake on this page
- Super convection air fry that owners rate as genuinely crisp
- Fits a 13 inch pizza, a roast chicken or a Dutch oven for slow cooking
- 3,200 owners at 4.5 stars
- Costs two to three times the Ninja
- Heavy and wide
- Interior light and door glass need regular cleaning to see through
Oster 10 Function Air Fryer Oven Toaster Oven Countertop

The Oster 10 Function is the budget air fryer toaster oven that does not feel like one: 26 quarts with a 12 inch pizza capacity and three rack positions in a box Oster kept narrow, extra heating elements and a perforated interior to move air for the air fry mode, and a TenderRoast setting that holds a low temperature for pulled pork and ribs, which no other oven at this price offers. Ten functions cover toast, bake, broil, dehydrate and defrost, and 7,200 owners rate it 4.4 stars, the same score as the Emeril 360 for a good deal less money. The limits are the ones you expect: toast is less even than in the Breville or Ninja, the controls are simple dials and buttons, and the interior light is dim. As a first air fry oven for a small household it is the value buy.
- 7,200 owners at 4.4 stars at a budget price
- 12 inch pizza capacity in a compact footprint
- TenderRoast low and slow mode is unusual at this price
- Three rack levels
- Toast evenness trails the Breville and Ninja
- Basic dial and button controls
- Interior light is dim
Nuwave Bravo 30 QT Smart Air Fryer Toaster Oven, 2026 New Convection System

The Nuwave Bravo 30 Qt is the oven for the cook who wants control: an integrated probe stops the cook when a roast or a chicken hits the internal temperature you set, the top and bottom heaters adjust independently so a pizza gets full bottom heat and a cheesecake does not, and the range runs from 50 to 500 degrees in 5 degree steps, the widest here. Twelve preset functions sit on top of 112 built-in presets, and the 30 quart cavity with four rack positions handles family trays. Owners rate it 4.4 stars across 7,000 reviews. It is also the largest box on this page, so measure counter and cabinet clearance first, the menu system takes an evening to learn, and the accessory list is shorter than the Emerils. For roasts and precise baking it is the most capable mid-price oven.
- Built-in probe cooks meat to temperature, not time
- Separate top and bottom heater control for pizza and baking
- 500 F ceiling, the highest here; 5 degree increments
- 7,000 owners at 4.4 stars
- Biggest box on the page; measure first
- Menu system takes learning
- Fewer owner photos and fewer accessories than the Emeril ovens
Instant Pot Omni Plus 19 Qt 10-in-1 Air Fryer Toaster Oven, Black

The Omni Plus is the Instant Pot approach to the air fryer oven: Golden Quartz infrared elements that get hot almost immediately, so there is little preheating, paired with the EvenCrisp airflow from the Vortex air fryers. The 19 quart cavity takes six slices or a 12 inch pizza, there is a rotisserie spit, a dehydrate mode and a double-layer glass door that keeps the outside cooler than the single-glass Emerils, and the ten functions run from 170 to 450 degrees. Owners rate it 4.3 stars across 2,900 reviews, the lowest big-brand score here, with the usual mid-size oven notes about the rotisserie limiting bird size and toast needing a trial run to dial in. It sits between the Ninja and the Emeril 360 in size and is a good fit if fast infrared heat and a cooler door matter to you.
- Quartz infrared elements heat fast with little preheat
- Rotisserie spit and dehydrate in a 19 qt box
- Double-glass door keeps the exterior cooler than the Emerils
- 2,900 owners at 4.3 stars
- Lowest rating among the big brands here
- Rotisserie limits chicken size
- Instant app recipes are less useful for an oven than for the pressure cooker
KitchenAid Digital Air Fry Countertop Oven, KCO124BM, Black Matte

The KitchenAid KCO124 is the air fryer toaster oven for a baker: its cavity is shaped around a 9 x 13 inch pan, so a sheet cake, a lasagna or a one-pan chicken dinner slides in where most countertop ovens take only a round pizza, and Even-Heat convection with top and bottom elements plus a proof setting make it a real small oven. The no-flip air fry basket and 360 degree airflow crisp fries without turning them, preheat takes under four minutes, and it fits a 12 inch pizza or two small chickens. Owners rate it 4.5 stars across 2,100 reviews, tied with the Breville. It has nine functions rather than the 10 to 16 of the Emerils and Nuwave, the matte black shows fingerprints and grease, and it costs about what the Ninja does while fitting a smaller pizza. If you bake more than you fry, it is the one to pick.
- Fits a 9 x 13 pan, so sheet cakes and one-pan dinners work
- No-flip air fry basket and fast 4-minute preheat
- Proof setting for bread dough
- 2,100 owners at 4.5 stars
- Fewer functions than the Emeril and Nuwave
- Matte black finish shows grease marks
- Costs as much as the Ninja with less capacity for pizza

Does an air fryer oven crisp like a basket air fryer?
Almost. A basket air fryer forces air through a small perforated drawer, so fries and wings crisp fastest. An air fryer oven blows air across a mesh basket in a larger cavity, which gives very good results on the ovens with strong fans and high heat (Breville super convection, Ninja Digital Crisp Control, Nuwave at 500 degrees) and softer results on the budget ovens if the basket is overloaded. The fix is the same on all of them: one layer, the basket on the top rack, and a shake halfway. In exchange you get a real oven that toasts, bakes and roasts, which a basket never will. If crisp fries are the only goal, a basket fryer from our air fryers under $100 guide is cheaper and better at that one job.
Which size fits your counter and your household?
The Ninja SP101 is wide but low, and it flips up, so it suits a small kitchen that cooks flat things: pizza, toast, sheet pans. The Breville, KitchenAid and Instant Omni are the conventional mid-size boxes, 19 quarts or so, right for two to four people with room for a chicken or a 9 x 13 pan. The Emeril 360 is a tall mid-size oven with a rotisserie. The Emeril French Door, Oster and Nuwave Bravo are 26 to 30 quart family ovens that need a counter roughly 20 inches wide and deep plus clearance above and behind for heat. Measure before you buy; the single most common return reason in the owner reviews is an oven that did not fit under the cabinets.
Toast, bake and the features that matter
Toast is where cheap air fry ovens fail, because a fan and a few elements do not make even heat. The Breville leads on toast and baking with its five-element Element iQ system, the Ninja and KitchenAid are close behind, and the big Emerils and Oster need a test slice to find the right shade. A temperature probe (Nuwave) is the most useful extra for roasts; separate top and bottom heater control (Nuwave) helps pizza; a proof mode (KitchenAid, Breville slow cook) helps bakers; and a rotisserie (both Emerils, Instant, Oster via TenderRoast for low and slow) is the feature people buy and then rarely use. For a cheaper oven without air fry at all, see our toaster ovens guide, and for a dedicated pizza machine the pizza ovens guide.
Can an air fryer toaster oven replace a toaster oven and an air fryer?
Yes for most households. The Ninja, Breville and KitchenAid toast evenly and air fry crisp enough that owners retire both. If you air fry daily and want the crispest fries, a separate basket fryer still does that one job better.
Which air fryer toaster oven fits a whole chicken?
The Emeril 26 Qt French Door, Emeril Everyday 360, Nuwave Bravo 30 Qt and Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer take a roast chicken; the KitchenAid fits two small ones. The Ninja SP101 is too low for a whole bird.
Do air fryer ovens need preheating?
Less than a full oven. The Ninja preheats in about 60 seconds, the KitchenAid in under four minutes and the Instant Omni Plus almost instantly with its quartz elements. Preheating still improves toast and crisp results.
Are air fryer toaster ovens hard to clean?
They have more parts than a basket fryer: a crumb tray, a drip pan, racks and a mesh basket. Pull the crumb tray weekly, line the drip pan with foil, and soak the mesh basket; the Breville and Ninja have removable crumb trays that help.
How much counter space does an air fryer toaster oven need?
Mid-size ovens are about 16 to 18 inches wide and deep; the 26 to 30 quart family ovens are 20 inches or more. Allow 3 to 4 inches behind and above for heat, and check your cabinet height, because the Nuwave and Emeril French Door are tall.
