I had not one but TWO Cuisinart air fryers, although they were a slightly different more digital model, like [this](https://www.cuisinart.com/large-air-fryer-toaster-oven/TOA-95NAS.html). Both wound up dying completely out of nowhere and cuisinart only replaced the first one because I was out of warranty by the second. I was pretty pissed and it seemed so wasteful to have 2 die in a 3 year period. I’m convinced it’s just a faulty product. Also, it was just okay while using the air fry function, often burning things. It’s not technically a proper air fryer a la the ones with a little tight drawer. Would not recommend cuisinart for an air fryer, after my experience!
It’s not cheap, but I would spend the money to get a Cuisinart air fryer/oven combo. I have a larger combo microwave/oven that I almost never use, but we use the air fryer every day (toast, pizzas, roasting veggies, cooking proteins, etc). It came with a small baking stone and a couple of small pans. It’s not super tall, so breads or cakes can be a little tricky, but it’s fantastic.
I have only had it for a year so I cant say much about the longevity, but I have the stainless steel cusineart 1800w air fryer from Target. At the time it was on sale $99, a lot cheaper than similar ones from other brands. Seems like a decent device to me.
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.
