Our Top Pick – The Best Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo For Large Family
Cusinart TOA-65 Digital Convection Toaster Oven Air Fryer Combo
Product Info:
- Dimensions: 16” W x 13.75” H x 12.375” D
- Power: 1800 Watt motor
- Weight: 20.3 lbs.
- Temperature Range: 80°f to 450°f

If you read our post on the best air fryer for family of 4, you’ll see that we listed this as a great option as an alternative, but with more features. Well, in this post for actual air fryer toaster oven combos, we think that the TOA-65 by Cusinart is the best pick overall!
Yes, this appliance is the total package. While it may not be the most premium option out there like the Breville, the combination of functionality, size, controls, and price make it our top pick for the majority of people out there.
It is really that good.
Air fryers and toaster ovens are those appliances that you don’t really think you have a need for, but once you get one and start using it, you wonder why you didn’t get one sooner.
The TOA-65 and TOA-60 are often recommended by users on Reddit as you can see in the comments here and here. We decided to include the TOA-65 over the analog TOA-60 as some customers on Amazon seemed to run into issues with the plastic dials on it. Sifting through all the Cuisinart air fryer toaster oven reviews, we came to the conclusion that this model is the one you won’t regret getting.
This model has stainless steel dials, along with inner racks, and a digital display which makes setting cook temperatures and times a breeze.
It heats up incredibly quick and cooks super fast as well. If you are the type of person that likes to reheat in your conventional oven, you won’t be doing so anymore once you get this. Reheating is done so much quicker with this and it also uses less power.
Most importantly, this toaster oven has the capacity to feed a large family quickly. The air frying basket is a nice 11″ x 11′ size while the entire interior is 0.6 cubic feet.

Alternative Picks That Might Be For You
Best Air Fryer Toaster Oven For Large Family Overall
Breville Smart Oven Air BOV900BSS
Product Info:
- Dimensions: 21″W x 12″H x 13.5″D
- Power: 1800 Watt motor
- Weight: 33 lbs.
- Temperature Range: 80°f to 480°f
- Capacity: 1 Cubic feet
- Controls: Dials with LCD display
I hope I didn’t make the distinction between this pick and the Cusinart to confusing. Basically, if you have the money, the Breville is the best option, if you can’t afford the Breville, the Cusinart is the best option.
The Breville Smart Oven Air BOV900BSS is the Cadillac of air fryer toaster oven combos. This thing has an even larger capacity than the Cusinart so if you have a very large family (or a family with a big appetite), this will have you covered.
Aside from the larger size, there are also some other benefits that come from owning this more pricey appliance.
The quality that Breville appliances are known for is evident. Using the controls and having the nice LCD screen makes cooking super straightforward. There are 13 preset cooking functions on this machine including ones for: toast, bagels, broiling, baking, roasting, warming, pizza, proofing, airfrying, reheating, cookies, slow cooking, and dehydrating.
According to this user on Reddit, the Breville has all but replaced their conventional oven. The speed and versatility of this unit make it perfect for pretty much anything you’re cooking.
This oven can even handle cooking up a 14 lb turkey, with more efficiency than a conventional oven.
If you are looking to do some serious cooking and are willing to pay a bit more for an appliance that can replace your need for many others, this option is for you.
Best Budget Air Fryer Toaster Oven Under $200
COSORI Smart 12-in-1 Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo
Product Info:
- Dimensions: 16.9″W x 15.5″H x 16.3″D
- Power: 1800 Watt motor
- Weight: 22 lbs.
- Temperature Range: 80°f to 450°f
- Capacity: Interior dimensions of 13.4″W x 8.9″H x12.8″D
- Controls: Dial, buttons, and digital display + Wifi control with Alexa or phone app
If you are on a budget and looking to spend under $200, I’d be hard pressed to find a better air fryer toaster oven combo than the Cosori 12 in 1 Air Fryer Toaster Oven.
This option has a decent combination of features similar to our top two picks: the Breville and the Cusinart, but at much more attractive price point.
Once again, the 12 in 1 refers to the preset functions that this device has which are: Preheat, Air Fry, Bake, Toast, Roast, Broil, Keep Warm, Dehydrate, Pizza, Slow Cooker, Defrost and Ferment.
The size is closer to the Cusinart so if you have a large family, you might still want to save up for the Breville, or just cook in multiple batches.
A very cool feature that the other two don’t have, is the voice control compatibility with Alexa or Google Assistant and the VeSync app which allows to you to control your air fryer toaster oven wirelessly from your phone.
Reviews of this on Reddit are stellar, reviews on Amazon are great, and it’s been recommended to me by word of mouth as well.
Some users do report a plastic smell upon first use, however, this is recognized by Cosori and is said to be residue from shipping. They state on the product page that before the first use you should run the toast function to clear any residue. There were also less complaints about it when compared to our overrated pick which is below.
Best Pressure Cooker With Air Fryer & Baking Functionality
Ninja FD401 Foodi 8-Quart 9-in-1 Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker
Product Info:
- Dimensions: 14.6″W x 14.3″H x 16.1″D
- Power: 1760 Watt motor
- Weight: 26 lbs.
- Temperature Range: 80°f to 450°f
- Capacity: 8 qt with interior dimensions of around 13″W x 13″H x 14D”
- Controls: Dial and buttons with digital display
If you aren’t sold on the toaster functionality of these air fryer toaster oven combo units, the Ninja FD401 Foodi 9 in 1 Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker (that’s a mouthful) might be for you.
This handy appliance has the speed of an instant pot with almost all of the functionality of the air fryer toaster ovens. The 9 in 1 presets on this thing are: Pressure Cook, Air Fry/Air Crisp, Steam, Slow Cook, Yogurt, Sear/Saute, Bake/Roast, Broil, and Dehydrate.
It’s quite large, especially with the lid open, but if you have some open counter space to slide this out to it’s not that bad.
The Ninja Foodi is incredibly convenient as well, with one user on Reddit saying that it has been even more convenient for them than their Breville which we recommend above.
A great option that you might not have considered when looking into these multi-function devices.
Overrated Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo
Instant Omni Plus Air Fryer Toaster Oven
Product Info:
- Dimensions: 17.5″W x 13″D x 14.5″H
- Power: 1500 Watt motor
- Weight: 29 lbs.
- Temperature Range: 180°f to 400°f
- Capacity: 26L or interior dimensions of 10″W x 8″H x 9″D
- Controls: Dials, buttons and digital display
I couldn’t complete this list without including the Instant Omni Plus. This appliance is the number 1 best seller on Amazon in the toaster ovens category, and the number 2 best seller on Amazon in the air fryers category.
It has a similar capacity to the Cusinart but not as much versatility and a lower build quality.
This air fryer oven combo has 11 built in functions to make cooking what you want a little easier.
Some users reported a plastic smell on their first use of this product which is a pretty big turn off, however if you follow the test run instructions, this should go away. Still.. a little sketchy.
Important Considerations When Buying An Air Fryer Toaster Oven For a Large Family
When buying one of these appliances to feed a large family, there are a few factors to consider and features that you should look for.
Good air fryer toaster oven combos can all but replace your conventional ovens, air fryers, toasters, even microwaves in some cases.
Consider the size of the appliance
You should look at the dimensions of the appliance that you are considering purchasing and ensure that you physically have enough counterspace for it.
Most of these air fryer toaster ovens are a fraction of the size of your conventional oven, but they still might surprise you if you don’t know what you’re expecting.
Consider the interior capacity
Unless you plan to cook multiple batches at dinner, you should make sure that the unit you choose has the capacity to cook enough food for your family at once.
This is extra important if you have a large family or a family with large appetites. When in doubt, go bigger than you think you’ll need. If you have the counter space for it, of course.
Consider the materials it’s made with
Build quality can vary wildly with appliances like this. Sometimes inferior materials can make the device have less weight, but usually it just makes them more junky.
For this reason, it’s best to stick with brands that are known for good build quality and have the history to prove it. As the Breville Smart Oven Air is in this list, you are paying more, but you can rest easy knowing you are getting something that is going to be well made.
The same will apply to the controls and displays on these units. It’s the difference in stainless steel dials to plastic dials that are easy to break.
Consider the accessories it comes with
The accessories and amount of accessories can be very different between competing models of air fryer toaster ovens. Since these devices do so much, it also means that they will probably need more accessories to do so properly.
If you have a special meal that you are planning to cook beforehand, double check to make sure the appliance you decide on has all you need to do it.
Consider the price
There are usually great budget options when it comes to any kind of product. These are no different. You do have to be much more careful when deciding on budget picks to avoid the junk, but good items are out there.
If you can afford the more expensive recommendation, you’ll probably be better off. But don’t discount the budget pick if you can’t afford the pricier ones.
Frequently Asked Questions About Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combos
Do Air Fryer Toaster Ovens Work As Well As Air Fryers
It’s true, the air frying capabilities of toaster oven air fryer combo units is not quite as good as the standalone air fryers. The standalone air fryers seem to produce crispier food overall.
However, the extra functionality of the toaster oven air fryers do bring these units to another level of usefulness.
Is the tradeoff worth it? There are cases for both sides and it comes down to personal needs more than anything.
Are Air Fryer Toaster Ovens Worth It?
There are pros and cons of every appliance. Again, it will come down to your personal needs and preference over anything.
Conventional ovens have the most capacity and can do most of what a toaster oven can do, but they use more energy, take longer to heat and cook, and can heat up your home which can be a real pain depending on where you live.
Toasters ovens have smaller capacity and will take up counter space that you might not have. However, they are more efficient than conventional, heat up and cook quicker, won’t heat up your house as much and can be more convenient. If you also get the air fryer combos, you then have that much more functionality.
