Air fryer toaster ovens are designed to work like the best toaster ovens with the additional benefit of air frying. They can toast, bake, broil and more just like a toaster oven; plus, they can air fry, which means they either have more heating elements on the top and a larger fan than your typical toaster oven, or they use existing hardware to make food crispier, faster. They're a great option for people who don't have the real estate to store a toaster, toaster oven and air fryer on their counter — and, like toaster ovens, they can even stand in for microwaves since they're great for reheating many foods.
In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we've tested more than 20 different air fryer toaster ovens, in addition to more than 40 air fryers and 40 toaster ovens.
When we test the air frying function on appliances and air fryers, we cook a pound of chicken wings and a pound of french fries in each machine to see how quickly and evenly each crisps up. When we test air fryer toaster ovens, we also test each of the toaster oven features by toasting bread, baking a cake on both the bake and convection bake settings, broiling steak and an open-faced sandwich on the broiling setting and more. We also assess several ease-of-use factors like whether the appliance has an intuitive control panel and is easy to clean.
Read on to learn more about how we test air fryer toaster ovens, what to consider when shopping, whether they really work and how they differ from toaster ovens and microwaves. Once you're ready to air fry, check out our favorite air-fried recipes like air fryer salmon flatbreads.
