Cuisinart - CTOA-130PC3FR Digital Airfryer Toaster Oven, Silver - Certified Refurbished

This is what I have and it seems to work great https://search.app/Z55fsd6AFXYU2KW27

I really wish some company would make a simple air fryer with all stainless steel or enamel coated like a real oven. Also reducing the number of settings would be nice to simplify things. I want it to last 10 years+ not 1-3 years like they currently do. Make it fit a standard 9x13” pan for the oven styles. Somehow Breville breaks, Cuisinart, Oster, Hamilton beach, etc. I’ll spend $400 if it’s like Vitamix and last a while, but all of the brands die so easily so it’s hard to judge. My cuisinart digital air fryer died twice because the knob kept going crazy after 9 months. So now I’m on the new version and it hasn’t happened for me yet after 5-6 months, but I bought a new Instant Pot basket style but still Teflon (rated the best from Americas Test Kitchen).

What’s bad is that the Cuisinart digital air fryer will break after 9 months with the dial so long term durability isn’t a factor in this review. I warrantied mine 2 times already and they said that was the last time.

Cuisinart sucks just fyi, especially the digital air fryer ones. Ninja is good just they don’t seem to have a good size. The tilt one doesn’t have enough clearance to see or even put things like 1-1/2” steaks and the non-flip one is giant.

Cuisinart has options in several price ranges. Their lower-priced ones aren't anything special, but the top of their line (around $300) is good. I have one from a few years ago (they don't make the specific model anymore, but a quick search shows that the current $300-320 model is about the same) and use it a LOT. The convection is quiet but efficient, and it will fit a frozen pizza. Downside: doesn't actually toast bread very quickly, but that's true of any of the larger ovens. I have a cheapo regular toaster for that (also have a small 'pod' air fryer that I got for free which I use for smaller jobs).

I have a different but similar Cuisinart air fryer/oven, and I love it. I think I use it more than the microwave most days. My only gripe with it is that the knob on my model (it only has one) is wonky, and sometimes you turn it up and the numbers go down, or vice versa. It needs to be turned with just the right amount of pressure to get the knob to work right. Also, I cook 90% of food at 375 degrees regardless of the package directions. If I go higher than that, stuff starts to burn or not cook evenly.

Agree with this brand. Had a Cuisinart for years from Costco and the dials never worked correctly. Switched a year ago to Breville and it's been great. We toast bread almost daily, my husband proofs his bread with it, kids can use it easily for snack foods, and it great for side veggies with dinner. We are a family of 5, so needed larger size and multifunction.

We’ve had a cuisinart air fryer/toaster oven combo for a couple years and it’s been great. We’re a large family and it gets used several times a day. It’s a workhorse type appliance and I like that the rack that the food actually touches is stainless steel. If it ever breaks I’ll get the same one to replace it. I’m not sure it’s true bifl just because of the way small appliances are made now but it should hold up to a decade or two of heavy use pretty easily. 

I prefer a toaster oven/air fryer combo. Many have a nonstick lining on the machine itself, but the tray that touches your food is usually stainless steel. Plus my kitchen isn't big enough for too many single-use appliances. I adored my Cuisinart toaster oven/air fryer but it only lasted about 4 years. I've switched to the breville which is more expensive but seems to be holding up better.

I have a version of this, too. We moved in October of last year & have never used our oven - we use the air fryer for everything - it’s just my husband and I so we find it much easier & cheaper than using the oven. And ditto for the cleaning. 🤪

I like my Cuisinart toaster oven/air fryer. I’ve had it at least 4 years of daily use and zero complaints.

I have a Cuisinart toaster oven/air fryer. I love it but didn't want a dedicated air fryer. I saw one similar to the one (mine is a few years old) I have around Christmas, not sure if it always there.
