"has withstood the last week of winds over 70 freezing kph."
"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."

"What I love about our oven vs. the air fryer is the amount of space the oven offers. Rotisserie chicken, 4 baked potatoes, pizza, evenly cooked tenderloin with a broil setting that can provide a crust."
"I use it a ton for roasting peppers along with daily for everything else."
"just for hiking and trail rubbing ... Personally I wore them for my ultra."

"it pales in comparison to our Cosori basket-style air fryer. Truly, there's a dramatic difference in the crisping and overall texture of foods prepped in the Cosori vs. Cuisinart."
"chicken is gross on that one I learned."
"I had this toaster oven and it burned everything! ... I put an oven thermometer in it, and it was never at the temperature I set it to. ... It would often get up to 500 degrees when I set it at 350."

"The one we have is Cuisinart and when I emailed them to ask about PFAs, they said it didn’t have PFAs and we’ve used it for 2 years, only to find out recently that it DOES. So frustrating. ... I have Model CTOA-122 and it lists PTFE among others :("

"I am on my 2nd one as the 1st one failed and was warrantied by Cuisinart. ... Now this one is starting to fail again in the same manner (the rotary control knob jumps around randomly and doesn't increment up or down cleanly) ... After watching a video by [Technology Connections](https://youtu.be/6h9JhW-m35o?si=I_99KK_tbr30_yc) the control board being above the oven is a big achilles heel of these machines. Over time the heat will degrade the operation of things until it becomes inoperable. ... yeah mine started to fail after 2-3 years of use."
"My cuisinart digital air fryer died twice because the knob kept going crazy after 9 months."
"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."

"If I go higher than that, stuff starts to burn or not cook evenly."
"the dials never worked correctly."
I have an air fryer and an air fryer toaster oven (cuisinart). The air fryer works MUCH better. It cooks faster and gets things much crispier. The toaster oven version works good as an oven replacement, but it is not as good of an air fryer. It is good for frozen pizzas or reheating leftovers though (pizza won’t fit in the air fryer, and some things you want more of a gentle reheat than a crispy cook). I think the toaster oven ones just tend to have less powerful fans and more area to move air about so they don’t convect the air as well as the basket units.
r/airfryer • Can an air fryer oven truly replace both an oven and a frying pan? ->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).
r/Costco • Has anyone tried the Gourmia air fryer oven? ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • RTINGS Tested 20 Toaster Ovens Against A Full-Size Oven And Found They Deliver Faster, More Efficient Cooking For Daily Use ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • The Best Air Fryers on the Market to Buy Now? ->We have one of the cuisinart combos and it works pretty well. It’s a better toaster oven than an air fryer only because it doesn’t have a basket or drawer like the air fryers, but it still does air frying decently well. I used the broiler function a lot for heating up pizza slices or putting a crust on top of baked items. My only complaint is that the display is acting up after about 3 years of hard use, so the timer isn’t very useful so I just set timers on my phone for it.
r/Cooking • Toaster Oven or Air Fryer? ->Same for us. Very happy with it, but I will say it doesn’t get battered food quite as crispy as some air friers. 2-3x better than a normal oven but a step behind what you see in air fryer videos.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Air Fryers to Buy? ->Do you have glass air fryers in India? I bought a Salton glass air fryer and it is not toxic, goes to 400F, takes the same time to cook fries, fish, steak... I love it. I also bought a Cuisinart oven toaster air fryer but I do not like it for an air fryer: takes longer to cook, is difficult to clean and it costs more. I also bought the Ninja air fryer and stopped using it because the coating was flaking. Dangerous. Good luck!
r/airfryer • Looking for buying new airfryer in stainless steel or non toxic material, Location-India? ->I am single with a kid and the Cuisinart one the is more like a toaster over/air fryer combo is really now my go to! I air fry chicken breast /veggies etc along with toast- it’s my go to- I hardly use my oven any more since it’s takes so much longer to preheat etc ( also makes house hot in the summer)
r/Cooking • do I need an air fryer? ->We have the same brand and have shared this experience. Well made and it is actually a pretty good toaster too.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Air Fryers to Buy? ->We have a Cuisinart toaster oven with convection/air fryer capability—it’s terrific (and we also use it as our plain old toaster). We also had to choose between it and the microwave, and only very rarely do I wish we had a microwave.
r/Cooking • Should I buy a microwave, toaster oven, or air fryer for my tiny kitchen? I can only pick one….. ->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.
r/Frugal • Looking for recommendations - toaster oven air fryer combo ->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.
