Since I received it, I have not used my big oven except to bake a Christmas ham. The racks are very good quality. I've baked muffins, pizza, chicken, casseroles — everything. It is so easy to use and so easy to clean. I absolutely love the convection feature. It is large, so you will need to make sure you have room for it. It is well worth making room for,” said one customer.

Looking for a two-in-one toaster oven that also functions as an air fryer? Check out this two-in-one Cuisinart option. You can cook up to four pounds of food at a time in this roomy toaster oven, and along with toasting and air-frying food, you can also bake and broil dishes. The multifunctional appliance has an adjustable thermostat and a non-stick interior, making it very easy to clean.

Over 2,100 Home Depot customers have given it their seal of approval. One reviewer said “I don't have a lot of counter space and I had a toaster oven that I used every day so I bought this unit because it was an air fryer and a toaster oven and would fit in the same space. What a wonderful experience. First of all, all the air fryers we looked at were plastic and clumsy to open. This unit is metal, easy to open and very easy to clean. Frozen foods are a breeze, and it also makes wonderful toast. It cost a little more than some of the plastic models but in my opinion, it's well worth the cost.”
