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.

I bought a Cuisinart Air Fryer / Toaster Oven from Costco and it is the single most-used appliance in my house. It's AMAZING as a single person who just wants to cook one (1) potato or one (1) serving of mac & cheese without having to heat an entire oven. You can use baking dishes & silicone trays in it, which is what I do 95% of the time. I do have a dishwasher which makes a huge difference, because then I can just pop the trays in the dishwasher after cooking and don't really need to do cleanup. When I DO use the actual trays (mostly for making fries), those are also dishwasher safe. The INSIDE of the thing is horribly dirty rofl because I never clean it, it's just full of splatters. One of these days I really do need to actually clean it because I want this thing to LAST. Other than that, it was worth the price (<$300) for how often I have used it in the last 3 years. It's not the exact same as a standard Air Fryer but I don't think you could go wrong with either one. I'm pretty sure I've seen people put ramekins in a standard Air Fryer as well.

Probably search for combination air fryer/toaster oven. We also have the Cusinart one, it's our second of the same model, and I love it.

I have the cuisinart one that looks like a small oven or large toaster oven. It’s incredible!

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.

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!

Do you want a basket or box style? We’ve had our cuisinart air fryer toaster oven for 8 years, used it as our primary oven for 2, and still love it. It was like $150 at Costco. We’ve bought three more as gifts all of which are still going strong.

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.

We have the same brand and have shared this experience. Well made and it is actually a pretty good toaster too.

I have one of those cuisinart multi function toaster oven/air fryers. 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_99KK9tbrb30_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.

The only one I’ve been consistently able to use is the cuisinart air fryer/toaster oven combo. Everything else just made me irate bc they were such a pain in the ass to clean.

Second this. Our previous one lasted about 5 or 6 years before it just died. Replaced with the same about a year ago but the construction is a little cheaper. On the newer models they used thinner stainless steel and you can hear the metal flex when it heats up or cools down. The older model didnt. Still a great device and much prefer its analog controls to digital ones.

I purchased a multi purpose oven - a big bitter than what folks in the US call a toaster oven. It air fries, bakes, grills, toasts… mine is a Cuisinart model and I absolutely love it. Use it every day. I particularly love the fact that I’m not putting my food in contact with plastic at high temps.

Here's a great tip. All cuisineart products are Teflon free. Their air fryer combo oven is an godsend and I cannot recommend it enough.

This is what I have too! It's fantastic! It's about the only way I make tofu now because it's so fast. Yes, the basket is stainless steel. It can even proof bread dough. It's used multiple times a day!

Dunno about this one but the Costco cuisinart version is freaking awesome. Looks similar actually. I make a lot of lechon and wings on it
