"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."
"Tons of room"
"Can roast enough broccoli for 4 people."

"I’d buy it again if it ever breaks, the versatility of being able to toast/bake/air fry covers a lot of tasks ... 10/10 highly recommend"
"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."

"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 ... it should hold up to a decade or two of heavy use pretty easily. ... If it ever breaks I’ll get the same one to replace it."
"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."
"I have washed ours many, many times and it still looks brand new."

"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."
"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."
"If I go higher than that, stuff starts to burn or not cook evenly."

"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."
"the dials never worked correctly."
"the timer function is literally just an old school kitchen egg timer-type mechanism, and sometimes it just doesn’t feel like working. ... It’s fine for now as long as I start a timer on my phone, but I’ll be looking to upgrade soon."

"I have the Cuisinart TOA-70 and it is extremely hard to clean. ... the splatter from frying gets all over the heating elements and top/sides of the unit."
"is difficult to clean"
"Tbh it's hard to clean on the inside. ... I've resorted to using a mini vacuum to suck up the crumbs lol."

I've used that Cuisinart for 3 years. Still going strong. There was a learning curve with temps but I really recommend it.
Yes, on some cook methods it gets too hot. Using it to reheat food or make wings, is fast and awesome. Other items require frequent checking on temp.
Yes, cleaning is difficult. I have had the issue with the walls, but the door and bottom are tricky. The dust buster is handy!
I have owned this Cuisinart for a year now and love it. There are only two downsides that I’ve found: 1. The glass on the door permanently stains. It has streaks between the glass layers I cannot get out. 2. The back has an exhaust that heats the plug. When in use it needs to be moved forward and away from the outlet as to not heat the cord. Over all would buy again. It’s sleek, cooks well, and feels like quality.
I have both. Started with the Cuisinart about 8 years ago; about 4 years ago it got moved to the outside kitchen and the Breville has taken over inside. The Cuisinart is more like a toaster oven with big aspirations. If I want to bake a few cookies or roast a chicken the wall oven does a much better job. The Breville is significantly better; I use it daily and it cooks more evenly, with fewer hot spots. I use it for proofing dough, baking bread, roasting chickens, cooking sheet pan meals, etc. etc. It is every bit as good as my wall oven for all those things, just a little smaller. Both are a PITA to clean. Neither has given me any problems with reliability. Edited for clarity.
I got rid of my Cosori, the basket broke. (I got a new basket because I hate e-waste but its now a backup/office unit.) Replaced it with a Cuisinart TOA-70NAS. It's a toastover/airfryer combo thing. Knob controls instead of digital display. Stainless steel basket/rack. Ceramic coated griddle plate. Highly recommend it. Not as bells-n-whistly as something like a Typhur that I was contemplating but space/shape/cost sold me.
We got the Cuisinart All-In-One Toaster Oven/Air Fryer/Griller (TOA 70, middle of the pack on the list) as a wedding gift, and we use daily. Absolute game changer! It's weakest point IS traditional baking, because you just can't translate the baking times 1-to-1, but holy crap it's so great. The only thing we use our oven for now is large-format baking like brownies, Dutch oven recipes, etc. Coming from a $20 Black and Decker mini toaster oven that couldn't even toast bread correctly, HOLY COW.
My toaster oven crapped out. I replaced it with a combo toaster oven air fryer that has just a slightly larger footprint. It does toast, bake, convection bake, and air fry. Fits a whole Freschetta frozen pizza. Can roast enough broccoli for 4 people. Great at getting a crust on salmon without overcooking. In the summer it really helps that I don’t have to turn the large oven on for a lot of things. It has a light and you can watch that your food doesn’t burn without opening. You can buy extra bake sheets and wire trays. My family of 4 uses it all the time. Like it so much we bought a spare for when this one dies. Cuisinart TOA-70

It’s between the Breville Pro and the Cuisinart TOA-70NAS. We personally own the Cuisinart and it’s been a solid workhorse.
I’ve tried to avoid air fryers or toaster ovens that have the control panel right above the cooking area. They always seem to fail faster. I had that exact cuisinart and it never worked completely properly. We have the ninja one from Costco and it’s been a great at about half the price of the breville one.
It's impossible to clean, though. I have the almost exact model shown here and I can tell you: 1. The glass door is non-removable and grease, crumbs, oil, etc collect in between the glass and the metal frame. There's no way to get rid of it. 2. The "non-stick" accessories are in fact extremely sticky and they will stain the moment you first use the oven. There's no cleaning them other than using a drill wire brush attachment. 3. The inner walls get caked with burnt grease which is, again, impossible to remove. I mean, it's a good oven, but don't think for a moment this Cuisinart is anything close to "easy to clean". I've yet to find a toaster oven that is.
