The TOA-65 replaces the TOA-60's knobs with a digital panel that sets temperature in five-degree steps, and Food Network Kitchen found it beat the older model on nearly every test it ran. The 18-quart cavity takes a 12-inch pizza, six slices of toast or a small chicken, and the 1,800-watt element skips preheating for everything except Bake and Pizza. It runs hot enough to need watching.

Strengths
  • — Digital interface with precise temperature control in five-degree incriments
  • — Outperforms the TOA-60 model on virtually every cooking test
  • — Seven distinct cooking features including air fry, bake, and reheat
Watch-outs
  • — Runs hot, so food browns faster than the same settings would suggest
  • — The crumb tray and wire rack are not dishwasher-safe
  • — Owners report the mode dial sticking or failing after a few years of daily use

The Ninja Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo packs 8-in-1 functionality into a compact body, preheats fast, and turns out crisp air-fried food.

It fits anyone who wants one countertop appliance covering several cooking functions.

Strengths
  • — Preheats in less than a minute for quick cooking
  • — Air fry function produces crispy results with even air circulation
  • — Includes multiple accessories: wire rack, sheet pan, air fry basket, and crumb tray
Watch-outs
  • — Grease management can be messy during air frying
  • — Some cooking suggestions in included guides may be unrealistic for typical serving sizes
  • — Toast function may not be ideal for those who don't regularly make large quantities

How they stack up

Cuisinart TOA-65 Air Fryer Toaster Oven

About $70 more than the TOA-60 it replaces, and Food Network Kitchen judged the extra worth paying for the finer temperature control alone. Bob Vila timed it three to four minutes faster than three rival toaster-oven air fryers. There is no temperature probe and no app, which some competitors do offer.

Ninja Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo

Unlike the Cuisinart TOA-65 which excels in precise temperature control and the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro which offers 13 cooking functions with super convection, the Ninja Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo stands out for its 8-in-1 functionality in a compact design that preheats in under a minute. However, it falls short of the Breville's app integration and the Cuisinart's 18-quart capacity, and suffers from messier grease management compared to the Gourmia models.
