A toaster oven with an air fry function can crisp small batches while handling everyday jobs like toast, baking, and reheating. My best overall pick is the Ninja Flip SP151, whose space-saving flip-up design suits kitchens where counter room matters. The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro stands out for buyers who want a more versatile premium oven, while the BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice Air Fry Toaster Oven is a simpler option for routine cooking. The main tradeoffs are countertop footprint, usable capacity, and whether added functions justify more controls and accessories. Read on for the full comparison and guidance by buyer type.

Key Takeaways
Counter space changes the ranking: the Ninja Flip SP151 folds upright for storage, while French-door and larger oven designs need a permanent footprint.
Capacity is about shape as well as quart count: wide toaster-oven interiors suit flat foods and toast, while deeper air fryer ovens can better fit rotisserie cooking.
More functions do not automatically mean a better fit: the Breville and Nuwave offer broad cooking options, but buyers who mainly toast and air fry may prefer simpler controls.
Compact models make practical compromises: four-slice ovens take less room but limit batch size compared with six-slice and larger formats.
There is no single best layout for every kitchen: flip-up, French-door, and conventional drop-down doors each affect access, placement, and cleanup.

More Details on Our Top Picks
BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice Air Fry Toaster Oven
The BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice covers the toaster oven basics while adding an air fry setting, so it suits buyers who want one appliance for toast, a small pizza, and straightforward weeknight cooking. Its 12-inch pizza capacity matches the Ninja Flip’s, though the Ninja adds roast, bagel, and dehydrating modes and a flip-up storage design. This BLACK+DECKER keeps the choice simpler, with five functions and the core accessories needed to get started. The 60-minute timer with stay-on function offers flexibility for longer cooking, but there is no temperature range or digital control detail in the supplied specs. Choose it for practical, moderate-capacity use; skip it if you want extensive presets or more specialized cooking modes.
Pros:- Five useful functions, including air fry and keep warm
- Fits six slices of bread or a 12-inch pizza
- Includes an air fry basket, bake pan, and rack
- Removable crumb tray supports routine cleanup
Cons:- Fewer cooking modes than the Ninja Flip’s eight functions
- Supplied product data does not specify temperature controls or range
Best for: Buyers who want air frying alongside toast, pizza, and basic oven functions for everyday meals
Not ideal for: Cooks who want a broad set of modes, digital controls, or capacity beyond a 12-inch pizza
- Cooking functions:Bake, broil, toast, keep warm, air fry
- Capacity:6 slices of bread or a 12-inch pizza
- Timer:60 minutes with stay-on function
- Included components:Air fry basket, bake pan, rack
- Crumb tray:Removable
- Model:TO3217SS-RFP
- Brand:BLACK+DECKER
Our verdict“Choose this BLACK+DECKER for uncomplicated air frying and everyday toaster oven tasks in a six-slice format.”
Ninja Flip Toaster Oven and Air Fryer, 8-in-1, Stainless Steel, SP151
The Ninja Flip SP151 pairs family-sized cooking capacity with a design that flips up against the backsplash for storage. That space-saving feature gives it a distinct advantage over the wide countertop presence of the Cuisinart TOA-70NAS and Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. It handles a 12-inch pizza, six slices of bread, or up to 4 pounds of ingredients, and its eight functions include air fry, pizza, bagel, and dehydrate. Six infrared heating elements and a stated 85–450°F range make it more versatile than the simpler BLACK+DECKER six-slice model. Its 12-inch pizza limit still rules out larger pies, and its speed and energy claims are comparisons with traditional methods, not a guarantee for every recipe.
Pros:- Flips up for storage against a backsplash
- Eight modes cover air frying, pizza, bagels, and dehydrating
- Fits a 12-inch pizza, six bread slices, or up to 4 pounds of ingredients
- Temperature range runs from 85°F to 450°F
Cons:- 12-inch pizza capacity limits larger meals
- Flip-up storage requires suitable clearance and placement
- Speed and energy comparisons may not match every cooking task
Best for: Households that cook family-sized portions but need to reclaim counter space between uses
Not ideal for: Buyers who regularly cook larger pizzas or want an extra-large oven interior for roasting pans
- Functions:Air fry, roast, broil, bake, pizza, toast, bagel, dehydrate
- Capacity:Up to 4 lb of ingredients; 12-inch pizza; 6 slices of bread; 6 chicken breasts
- Temperature range:85–450°F
- Heating elements:6 infrared
- Included accessories:Air fry basket, sheet pan, wire rack, removable crumb tray, quick start guide
- Storage design:Flips up for storage against backsplash
- Model:SP151
Our verdict“Pick the Ninja Flip if you need substantial air fry capacity and want the oven to take up less counter space when stored.”
Nuwave Bravo XL Pro Air Fryer Toaster Oven with Grill Combo
The Nuwave Bravo XL Pro is the choice for cooks who want an air fryer toaster oven to cover far more than crisping and toast. Its 30-quart capacity, 50–500°F range, grill plate, and smart digital thermometer give it a wider cooking brief than the BLACK+DECKER six-slice model. The thermometer can help guide doneness, while the high temperature ceiling and grill accessory open up tasks the Ninja Flip does not emphasize. The supplied description lists 142 presets, while the spec data lists 100 one-touch presets, so the precise preset count is unclear. Its 20-inch width also takes more planning than the compact storage approach of the Ninja. Pick it for range and guided cooking, not for a small counter.
Pros:- 30-quart interior supports varied cooking tasks
- 50–500°F temperature range accommodates low and high heat
- Includes a professional grill plate and smart digital thermometer
- Stainless steel construction with PFAS-free accessories
Cons:- 20-inch width can be difficult to fit on a crowded counter
- 1800-watt power draw may not suit every kitchen setup
- Product information gives conflicting preset counts
Best for: Cooks who want presets, grilling, and a thermometer-guided workflow in a single large countertop oven
Not ideal for: Small-kitchen owners or buyers who mainly need a compact appliance for toast and occasional air frying
- Capacity:30 quarts
- Power:1800 watts
- Temperature range:50–500°F
- Dimensions:20 × 12.88 × 11.13 inches
- Functions:Air fry, toast, grill, bake, roast, slow cook, dehydrate
- Presets:100 one-touch presets listed in specs; description states 142
- Included accessories:Cooking rack, grill/griddle plate, mesh rack, smart digital thermometer, crumb tray
- Material:Food-grade stainless steel
Our verdict“Choose the Nuwave if cooking range and thermometer guidance matter more than a compact countertop footprint.”
Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven, 1800W, 8-in-1, Stainless Steel, TOA-70NAS
The Cuisinart TOA-70NAS balances air frying with familiar oven tasks and a useful grill option. Its 0.6-cubic-foot interior can toast six slices, air fry 3 pounds of wings, or roast a 4-pound chicken, making it a practical middle ground between the six-slice BLACK+DECKER and the much larger Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. The reversible grill/griddle adds flexibility for stovetop-style cooking without choosing the Nuwave’s more preset-heavy approach. AirAdvantage technology is intended to support crisp results, and the stainless steel interior is described as easy to clean. In exchange, this is still a sizeable, 1800-watt appliance, and its warm-to-450°F range is narrower than the Nuwave’s stated 50–500°F.
Pros:- Eight functions include air fry, convection cooking, grill, and warm
- Fits six slices of toast or a 4-pound chicken
- Reversible grill/griddle expands cooking options
- Includes an air fry basket and baking pan/drip tray
Cons:- 1800-watt draw may constrain placement in some kitchen setups
- Countertop footprint may be too large for compact kitchens
- Maximum listed temperature is lower than the Nuwave Bravo XL Pro
Best for: Families who want air frying, roasting, and grilling capacity without stepping up to an extra-large oven
Not ideal for: Small kitchens or cooks who need a temperature range above 450°F
- Model:TOA-70NAS
- Power:1800 watts
- Capacity:0.6 cubic feet
- Functions:Air fry, toast, convection bake, bake, convection broil, broil, grill, warm
- Temperature range:Warm to 450°F
- Timer:60 minutes with auto-shutoff
- Included accessories:Oven rack, baking pan/drip tray, air fry basket, reversible grill/griddle
- Material:Stainless steel
Our verdict“The Cuisinart suits families who want a versatile air fry oven with grilling and roasting capacity in a mid-sized format.”
Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro, Brushed Stainless Steel
The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro earns its place for cooks who want an air fry toaster oven that can also take on large roasts and baking dishes. Its interior fits a 14-pound turkey or most 9 × 13-inch pans, a scale beyond the Cuisinart TOA-70NAS’s listed 4-pound chicken capacity and the Ninja Flip’s 12-inch pizza limit. Thirteen cooking functions and super convection support a broad range of meals, while Element iQ temperature control is designed to manage heat across the oven. The tradeoff is substantial counter space: this is closer to a secondary oven than a compact toaster oven. Its 1800-watt draw is also worth matching to the kitchen’s available circuit, and the listed warranty is two years.
Pros:- Interior accommodates a 14-pound turkey or most 9 × 13-inch pans
- Thirteen functions extend beyond air frying and toasting
- Super convection supports air circulation across larger loads
- Includes multiple racks, pans, and a mesh basket
Cons:- Large footprint demands substantial counter space
- 1800-watt power draw may limit placement options
- Listed two-year limited warranty may be short for buyers expecting longer coverage
Best for: Cooks who regularly prepare large roasts, turkey, or meals in standard 9 × 13-inch pans
Not ideal for: Apartment cooks with limited counter space or people who mainly air fry single servings
- Model:BOV900BSS
- Cooking functions:13
- Interior capacity:16 × 13.5 × 7 inches
- Power:1800 watts
- Voltage:120 volts
- Included accessories:13-inch pizza pan, two oven racks, 9 × 13-inch broil rack and enamel roasting pan, mesh basket rack
- Finish:Brushed stainless steel
- Warranty:2-year limited product warranty
Our verdict“Choose the Breville when large roasts and baking pans matter more than a compact footprint or simple controls.”
Chefman Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer with Rotisserie and Dehydrator, 10-Quart
The Chefman 10-quart suits cooks who want an air-fry oven that can also handle a small rotisserie bird or batches of dried snacks. Its rotisserie spit, three air-flow racks, and drip tray give it more cooking flexibility than the simpler Hamilton Beach 4-Slice Air Fryer Toaster Oven, though the Chefman takes up more counter space. Seventeen touchscreen presets and a viewing window make it easier to manage varied cooking without opening the door repeatedly. The tradeoff is its oven-style layout: it is taller and bulkier than a conventional toaster oven, and its 10-quart capacity may still feel limiting for large family meals. I’d choose it for accessory-driven versatility, not for the smallest footprint or a straightforward toast-and-air-fry setup.
Pros:- Combines air frying, baking, dehydrating, roasting, and rotisserie cooking
- Includes three air-flow racks, a rotisserie spit, retrieval tool, and drip tray
- Seventeen touchscreen presets simplify selecting common cooking modes
- Interior light and viewing window let you monitor food while it cooks
Cons:- Its 12 × 12 × 15-inch body takes more counter space than a small toaster oven
- The 10-quart capacity may not suit large family-sized batches
- The range of accessories and functions may be more than needed for everyday toast and simple air frying
Best for: Cooks who want rotisserie and dehydrating functions alongside air frying, with included racks for preparing several items.
Not ideal for: People with limited counter space or those who mainly need a compact oven for toast and occasional air-fried sides.
- Capacity:10 quarts
- Power:1700 watts
- Temperature range:93.33 °C to 400 °F
- Controls:Touch screen
- Dimensions:12 × 12 × 15 inches
- Weight:14.2 pounds
- Included accessories:Three air-flow racks, rotisserie spit, retrieval tool, drip tray
- Care:Dishwasher-safe parts
Our verdict“Choose the Chefman if rotisserie cooking and multiple included racks matter more than a compact countertop footprint.”
Hamilton Beach 4-Slice Air Fryer Toaster Oven
For a small kitchen, the Hamilton Beach 4-Slice keeps air frying in the same compact appliance as toast, baking, and broiling. It fits a 9-inch pizza or an 8 × 8-inch pan, which makes it more useful for small meals than a basic toaster while staying far less imposing than the Emeril Lagasse 26QT French Door oven. The adjustable racks and included air-fry basket give you practical cooking options without a touchscreen or a long list of presets to learn. Its limit is capacity: four slices of toast and a modest pan size make it a poor fit for large batches. I’d pick it for everyday cooking for one or two people, but skip it if air frying is usually a family-sized task.
Pros:- Combines toast, bake, air fry, and broil functions in a compact oven
- Fits a 9-inch pizza or an 8 × 8-inch pan
- Includes an air-fry basket, bake pan, broil rack, and slide-out crumb tray
- Two adjustable racks allow different cooking positions
Cons:- Four-slice capacity limits how much food can be prepared at once
- A 30-minute timer may require resetting for longer cooking tasks
- Its small cooking area is less suited to family meals than the Emeril Lagasse 26QT
Best for: Apartment dwellers or couples who want air frying and basic toaster-oven functions without giving up much counter space.
Not ideal for: Families or batch cooks who need room for larger trays, multiple servings, or a whole roast.
- Capacity:4 slices of toast; 9-inch pizza; 8 × 8-inch pan
- Cooking functions:Toast, bake, air fry, broil
- Temperature range:200°F to 450°F
- Timer:30 minutes with automatic shutoff
- Racks:Two adjustable racks
- Included accessories:Metal air-fry basket, bake pan, broil rack, slide-out crumb tray
- Material and finish:Stainless steel
Our verdict“Pick the Hamilton Beach for compact, everyday air frying and toast when small portions are enough.”
Emeril Lagasse 26QT French Door Multi-Function Air Fryer Toaster Oven
The Emeril Lagasse 26QT is the capacity-focused choice here: its roomy interior is better suited to larger spreads than the Hamilton Beach 4-Slice, which is built around a 9-inch pizza and four slices of toast. French doors and an interior light make it easier to check food and access the oven, while the dual-speed fan supports air circulation for air frying and roasting. That larger format can reduce the need to cook a gathering in small rounds, but it also claims more counter space. The product details do not give a wattage or temperature range, so buyers have less information for comparing heating performance with the Ninja French Door Premier FO103, which lists a 450°F maximum. I’d favor this model for capacity and oven-style access over detailed control specifications.
Pros:- 26-quart capacity accommodates larger cooking tasks than compact four-slice ovens
- Combines air frying, toaster-oven cooking, and roasting
- French doors provide access across the oven front
- Interior light and dual-speed fan support monitoring and air circulation
Cons:- Large footprint can be difficult to fit on a crowded counter
- Product details do not specify wattage or temperature range
- The available feature list gives less detail about controls and accessories than the Chefman 10-quart
Best for: Hosts and larger households who want a roomy countertop oven for air frying, roasting, and mixed-size meals.
Not ideal for: Small-kitchen cooks who need a compact appliance or shoppers who want published wattage and temperature specifications before choosing.
- Capacity:26 quarts
- Material:Stainless steel
- Door type:French doors
- Fan type:Dual-speed
- Functions:Air fryer, toaster oven, roaster
- Monitoring:Interior light
- Toast feature:Auto-off toast timer
Our verdict“Choose the Emeril Lagasse when generous oven capacity and French-door access matter more than compact size or detailed heating specifications.”
BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Air Fry Toaster Oven, 5-in-1 Countertop Oven
The BLACK+DECKER 5-in-1 adds a keep-warm setting to the familiar air fry, bake, broil, and toast lineup, giving it a useful everyday range in a compact format. Its EvenToast technology targets more consistent browning, while the 9-inch pizza capacity puts it in the same small-meal category as the Hamilton Beach 4-Slice. The BLACK+DECKER distinguishes itself with the extra keep-warm function and seven included accessories, but its compact interior still limits batch size compared with the Chefman 10-quart. Buyers should also check the manual to match accessories to cooking modes, so it may take more setup than a simpler oven. I’d choose it for varied small-kitchen tasks, provided its four-slice capacity is enough.
Pros:- Five functions include air fry, bake, broil, toast, and keep warm
- EvenToast technology is designed for consistent browning
- Fits up to four slices of bread or a 9-inch pizza
- Includes accessories for air frying, baking, broiling, and crumb collection
Cons:- Compact interior limits batch size for households cooking several portions
- Accessory use requires consulting the manual
- Its capacity is similar to the Hamilton Beach 4-Slice and smaller than the Chefman 10-quart
Best for: Small households that want one compact oven for air-frying snacks, toast, and several basic cooking modes.
Not ideal for: People cooking for a large family or anyone who regularly needs to air fry multiple servings in one batch.
- Capacity:4 slices of bread or 9-inch pizza
- Functions:Air Fry, Bake, Broil, Toast, Keep Warm
- Timer:30 minutes
- Technology:EvenToast and air frying
- Included accessories:Bake pan, air-fry mesh tray, wire rack, crumb/drip tray
Our verdict“Pick this BLACK+DECKER for a compact oven with a keep-warm setting and broad everyday functions, as long as four-slice capacity works for you.”
Ninja French Door Premier Air Fry Oven with Cutting Board, Stainless Steel (FO103)
The Ninja FO103 brings a 5-quart air-fry basket and 90-second preheat to a French-door oven, making it the strongest fit here for cooks who want to prepare a large basket of fries without moving to the 26-quart Emeril Lagasse. It also offers ten functions, including whole roast, proof, pizza, and bagel, so it can cover more than air frying. Its 450°F cyclonic-air system gives buyers a clear maximum temperature and a stated preheat time, details missing from the Emeril’s supplied specifications. The main caveat is that the listed five-pound capacity applies specifically to fries in the air-fry basket; it does not describe every cooking mode. The Ninja also has more functions to sort through than the straightforward Hamilton Beach 4-Slice.
Pros:- Ten functions include air fry, whole roast, bake, pizza, proof, toast, and bagel
- Five-quart air-fry basket is listed to hold up to 5 pounds of fries
- Listed 90-second preheat and 450°F maximum temperature
- Cooking surfaces are made without PFAS, and included accessories are dishwasher-safe
Cons:- The five-quart capacity applies to the air-fry basket, not every oven function
- French-door oven design may take more counter space than compact four-slice models
- Its many cooking modes may be unnecessary for buyers seeking a simple toaster oven
Best for: Cooks who want a large air-fry basket, quick listed preheat, and multiple oven functions in a French-door design.
Not ideal for: Shoppers who need a compact countertop appliance or want one capacity figure that applies across all cooking modes.
- Model:FO103
- Air-fry basket capacity:5 quarts; holds up to 5 pounds of French fries
- Cooking functions:Air Fry, Air Roast, Whole Roast, Bake, Pizza, Broil, Reheat, Proof, Toast, Bagel
- Maximum temperature:450°F
- Preheat time:90 seconds
- Cooking surfaces:Made without PFAS
- Included accessories:Air-fry basket, sheet pan, broil rack, wire rack, cutting board, recipe book with 15 recipes
Our verdict“Choose the Ninja FO103 for a large dedicated air-fry basket and broad cooking range, while keeping its capacity claim specific to that basket.”
BLACK+DECKER Crisp ‘N Bake Pro 4-Slice Digital Air Fry Oven
The 4-slice Crisp ‘N Bake Pro suits a small kitchen where an air fryer and toaster oven would compete for space. It handles air frying, baking, broiling, toasting, and keeping food warm, with an extra-deep interior for food that needs more height than a basic toaster oven allows. Compared with the 6-slice Crisp ‘N Bake Pro, this model takes a smaller-capacity approach and uses knob controls instead of a digital menu, which may feel simpler but offers less setting precision. The included mesh tray, bake pan, and removable crumb tray support everyday use and cleanup. Its main limit is portion size: four slices suit a solo cook or couple better than family meals, and the compact format gives up the larger pan capacity of several ovens in this roundup.
Pros:- Combines air frying, baking, broiling, toasting, and warming in one appliance
- Extra-deep interior accommodates taller foods
- Knob controls keep operation straightforward
- Includes an air fry mesh tray and removable crumb tray
Cons:- Four-slice capacity is restrictive for family portions
- Knob controls provide less setting precision than the digital 6-slice Crisp ‘N Bake Pro
Best for: Solo cooks and couples who want air frying and basic oven functions in a compact countertop appliance
Not ideal for: Families or cooks who regularly prepare full-size pans, since its four-slice capacity limits batch size
- Brand:BLACK+DECKER
- Model:Crisp ‘N Bake Pro
- Model number:TO4225-0YD-ID
- Capacity:4 slices
- Functions:Air Fry, Bake, Broil, Toast, Keep Warm
- Controls:Knob
- Included components:Air fry mesh tray, wire/broil rack, bake pan/drip tray, removable crumb tray
Our verdict“Choose this model if you want straightforward air frying and toasting in a compact oven and can work with small portions.”
Chefman 14-Quart 6-in-1 Air Fryer Oven with Rotisserie
For buyers who want a countertop air fryer oven with a rotisserie spit, this Chefman offers a cooking method the BLACK+DECKER Crisp ‘N Bake Pro models do not list. Its 14-quart capacity, three rack positions, and touchscreen controls give it room for a main dish and sides, while the 90°F–400°F range includes low-temperature settings for dehydrating. The included fetch tool makes handling the rotisserie spit more practical. Compared with the Ninja SP101, the Chefman trades that model’s flip-up storage design for a more enclosed oven format with rotisserie capability. That larger format needs a dedicated stretch of counter space, and its description is inconsistent about whether it has five or six functions. Buyers focused mainly on toast and pizza may find a toaster oven style pick more aligned with their routine.
Pros:- Includes a removable rotisserie spit and fetch tool
- Three rack positions allow cooking at different heights
- 90°F–400°F range supports both low-temperature dehydration and hotter cooking
- Touchscreen controls provide a digital interface
Cons:- Large countertop footprint may be difficult to accommodate
- Product description conflicts on the number of cooking functions
Best for: Cooks who want to roast food on a rotisserie and use one countertop appliance for air frying, baking, and dehydrating
Not ideal for: People with limited counter space or buyers who mainly need a conventional toaster oven for toast and pizza
- Capacity:14 quarts
- Cooking functions:Air fry, bake, broil, reheat, dehydrate, rotisserie
- Temperature range:90°F–400°F
- Rack positions:3
- Controls:Touchscreen
- Included rotisserie accessories:Removable rotisserie spit and fetch tool
- Color:Black
Our verdict“Pick the Chefman if rotisserie cooking is a priority and you have counter space for a 14-quart oven.”
BLACK+DECKER Crisp ‘N Bake Pro 6-Slice Digital Air Fry Toaster Oven
The 6-slice Crisp ‘N Bake Pro is the better fit than its 4-slice sibling for cooks who want a toaster oven that can handle a family-size pan or a 12-inch pizza. Its ten digital functions include dedicated settings for foods such as fries, chicken, bagels, and pizza, reducing the need to guess at a general temperature and mode. The PFAS-free ceramic baking pan and dishwasher-safe accessories add practical cleanup benefits. Compared with the Ninja SP101, this BLACK+DECKER emphasizes food-specific presets and pan fit, while the Ninja stands apart with a flip-up design that frees counter space in storage. The 60-minute timer may interrupt longer recipes unless the stay-on function is used, and its larger capacity still takes counter room. It makes most sense for buyers who will use the extra presets and pan clearance.
Pros:- Ten digital cooking functions include dedicated food presets
- Fits most 9 x 13-inch pans or a 12-inch pizza
- PFAS-free ceramic baking pan
- Dishwasher-safe accessories simplify cleanup
Cons:- Larger capacity requires meaningful counter space
- The 60-minute timer can be limiting for longer recipes without using stay-on
Best for: Households that want digital food presets and room for a 9 x 13-inch pan or 12-inch pizza
Not ideal for: Small kitchens where counter space is scarce, or cooks who regularly need timed cooking beyond 60 minutes
- Brand:BLACK+DECKER
- Model:Crisp ‘N Bake Pro
- Model number:TO63D5-0YD-ID
- Capacity:6 slices
- Cooking functions:10: Air Fry, Bagel, Bake, Broil, Chicken, Fries, Pizza, Snacks, Toast, Warm
- Timer:60 minutes with stay-on function
- Fits:Most 9 x 13-inch pans or a 12-inch pizza
- Included accessories:Air fry basket, wire rack, baking pan, removable crumb tray
- Baking pan coating:PFAS-free ceramic
Our verdict“Choose this Crisp ‘N Bake Pro if pan capacity and digital presets matter more than a space-saving storage design.”
Ninja SP101 Digital Air Fry Countertop Oven, 8-in-1, XL, Silver
The Ninja SP101 addresses a familiar countertop problem with a flip-up design that stores the oven upright when it is not in use. It still fits a 13-inch pizza or nine slices of toast, so the space-saving format does not mean giving up everyday oven capacity. Its eight functions include air frying, roasting, broiling, baking, toasting, dehydrating, and keeping food warm. Compared with the 6-slice BLACK+DECKER Crisp ‘N Bake Pro, the SP101 offers a more compact storage position and a broader listed function set, while the BLACK+DECKER provides food-specific presets and pan fit. The Ninja’s 1800-watt draw deserves attention in kitchens with limited electrical capacity, and its removable parts need regular cleaning. It is a strong match for buyers who need capacity but cannot leave a wide oven on the counter.
Pros:- Flip-up design stores the oven upright to reclaim counter space
- Fits a 13-inch pizza or nine slices of toast
- Eight functions include air frying, roasting, and dehydrating
- Includes an air fry basket, sheet pan, wire rack, and removable crumb tray
Cons:- 1800 watts may be a concern where electrical capacity is limited
- Removable components require regular cleaning
Best for: Apartment cooks who want a larger air fry oven but need to store it upright to free counter space
Not ideal for: Kitchens with limited electrical capacity or cooks who prefer an appliance that stays set up on the counter
- Brand:Ninja
- Model:SP101
- Color:Silver
- Wattage:1800 watts
- Functions:Air Fry, Air Roast, Air Broil, Bake, Bagel, Toast, Dehydrate, Keep Warm
- Capacity:Fits a 13-inch pizza, 9 slices of toast, or 6 chicken breasts
- Included components:Countertop oven, air fry basket, sheet pan, wire rack, removable crumb tray, recipe cookbook
- Warranty:1-year limited warranty
Our verdict“Choose the SP101 if you need generous toaster oven capacity but want to put the appliance away between uses.”
Ninja French Door Premier Air Fry Oven, 10-in-1, 20.3 Qt, Stainless Steel, FO101
The 20.3-quart FO101 is the batch-cooking choice in this group, with a 5-quart air fry basket that can hold up to five pounds of fries. Its ten cooking functions cover air frying, roasting, baking, broiling, reheating, dehydrating, toasting, bagels, and pizza, giving it more range than the smaller 4-slice BLACK+DECKER Crisp ‘N Bake Pro. A 90-second preheat and dishwasher-safe accessories make frequent use easier, while cooking surfaces made without PFAS may appeal to buyers seeking that material specification. The capacity comes with a sizable countertop footprint, so it is less suited to cramped kitchens than the flip-up Ninja SP101. Claims about cooking faster than conventional ovens and using less fat are comparative claims; the core decision here is whether its large basket and function range suit your batches.
Pros:- 5-quart air fry basket holds up to 5 pounds of fries
- Ten functions include air frying, whole roasting, pizza, and dehydration
- 90-second preheat
- Several included accessories are dishwasher-safe and cooking surfaces are made without PFAS
Cons:- 20.3-quart capacity requires substantial counter space
- Large basket and oven may be excessive for small portions or infrequent air frying
Best for: Families and batch cooks who want to air fry large portions and use one oven for several cooking methods
Not ideal for: Buyers with limited counter space or those who usually cook only one or two servings
- Capacity:20.3 quarts
- Air fry basket capacity:5 quarts
- Air fry basket food capacity:Up to 5 pounds of French fries
- Cooking functions:Air Fry, Air Roast, Whole Roast, Bake, Pizza, Broil, Reheat, Dehydrate, Toast, Bagel
- Preheat time:90 seconds
- Maximum temperature:450°F
- Cooking technology:Cyclonic air technology
- Materials:Stainless steel exterior; cooking surfaces made without PFAS
- Cleaning:Air fry basket, sheet pan, broil rack, wire rack, and crumb tray are dishwasher-safe
Our verdict“Choose the FO101 if large air-fry batches and broad oven functions justify the space it occupies.”

How We Picked
I compared the 15 models on how well their air fry function fits with everyday toaster oven use. The ranking weighs interior capacity and shape, cooking modes, control simplicity, access to food, countertop footprint, and the upkeep that comes with trays, baskets, and extra features. I also considered whether a model’s design solves a recognizable buyer problem, such as limited counter space, a need for larger batches, or a preference for straightforward controls.
Rank order reflects fit across those needs, rather than the number of functions alone. Models that balance useful air frying with practical oven tasks and a clear design advantage rank ahead of options with a narrower role. Specialized picks remain useful for the right household, but their size, capacity, or more involved controls can make them less suitable as all-purpose choices. Since cooking results depend on food quantity, placement, and settings, buyers should use the included guidance and leave room to adjust their routine.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Toaster Oven With Air Fry Function
Before choosing, match the oven’s layout and capacity to what you cook most often. Air frying is only one part of the decision: door clearance, counter depth, batch size, controls, and cleaning can shape daily convenience just as much.
Match Capacity to Your Usual Batch
Slice counts and quart figures describe different things, so neither tells the whole story about usable space. A broad, shallow cavity can be convenient for toast, pizza, and foods spread across a tray, while a deeper interior may suit a rotisserie setup. Think about the largest meal you expect to cook regularly, then check the cooking surface dimensions and accessory sizes. Buying too small can mean splitting food into batches, which adds time and can make serving together harder. Buying much larger than needed uses more counter space and can be less convenient for quick everyday tasks. Leave room for food to sit with airflow around it when crisping is a priority.
Choose a Door and Placement That Fit Your Kitchen
Door style affects where an oven can sit and how easily you can reach inside. A drop-down door needs space in front; French doors can be easier to open in a tight walkway, though they still need room for the doors to swing. A flip-up model can free counter space when stored upright, but its location must allow safe movement and access during cooking. Measure the appliance’s full depth with the door open, not just its closed footprint. Also check the maker’s guidance for clearance around the sides and above the oven. A model that fits on paper may feel awkward if it blocks a cabinet, wall, or nearby prep area.
Decide Which Functions You Will Actually Use
Extra modes can cover baking, broiling, dehydrating, or rotisserie cooking, but each adds another setting to learn and may require a dedicated accessory. List the meals you make in a typical week before paying attention to a long mode list. If air frying and toast are your main jobs, a clear control panel and convenient basket may matter more than specialty programs. If you plan to roast whole poultry or dehydrate foods, check that the interior and included equipment support those tasks. Do not assume two models with similar mode counts offer the same cooking space or accessories. The useful choice is the one whose functions match your routine often enough to earn their storage and cleanup burden.
Look Beyond the Control Panel
Manual knobs can make common settings quick to adjust, while digital controls may offer more precise selections and presets. Neither approach guarantees better cooking; the practical question is whether you can set time, temperature, and mode without consulting instructions each time. Check how clearly the display shows the current setting and whether changing one setting resets another. Presets can help new owners get started, but they should not replace guidance for food size and placement. A crowded control scheme may slow down simple tasks like toast. If multiple people will use the oven, favor controls that are easy to read and explain.
Plan for Cleanup and Accessories
Air frying can involve a basket or mesh rack that collects grease and crumbs, while oven cooking may add a crumb tray and baking pan to the cleaning routine. Check which parts are removable and what the manufacturer says about washing them; dishwasher compatibility varies by model and accessory. A larger accessory set can expand how you cook, but it also needs cabinet space when not in use. Consider whether the tray is easy to remove without spilling crumbs and whether the interior is accessible for wiping. Liners or foil may seem convenient, yet using them incorrectly can interfere with airflow or conflict with instructions. A manageable cleanup routine makes frequent use more realistic.
Spend More for a Specific Benefit
A more feature-rich oven makes sense when its capacity, cooking modes, or build address a need you have repeatedly. A premium pick may suit someone replacing several appliances or cooking larger, varied meals, while a simpler model can be the more practical choice for toast and occasional crisping. Compare the included accessories and the tasks they enable rather than counting features in isolation. Check the overall dimensions and available counter space before treating a larger cavity as an upgrade. If a feature will be used only rarely, its controls, storage demands, and cleaning may outweigh its convenience. Choose the model whose main advantage solves a real constraint in your kitchen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can one toaster oven with an air fry function replace both appliances?
It can cover many of the same jobs, especially if you regularly toast, bake small items, reheat leftovers, and crisp food in batches. Whether it replaces a separate air fryer depends on how much you cook at once and how often you need both appliances simultaneously. A toaster oven format gives you broader oven tasks, but some models take up more counter space than a standalone fryer. Check the cooking surface and basket size against your usual portions. If you often cook large batches, a single compact combo may require multiple rounds.
How much counter space should I leave around the oven?
Use the clearance distances in the manufacturer’s instructions, since ventilation needs differ by model. Measure the oven with its door open and account for room to pull out trays without hitting a wall or another appliance. Heat can affect nearby cabinets and surfaces, so a close fit should not be assumed safe just because the appliance sits on the counter. Flip-up designs also need enough space to raise and lower the oven comfortably. Check the intended placement before choosing based on the closed dimensions alone.
Is a six-slice model enough for a family?
Slice capacity is a rough guide to toast, not a guarantee that the oven will handle every family meal in one batch. For air frying, the usable tray or basket area and room for food to sit apart matter more. A six-slice model may work well for daily sides or smaller portions, while a larger household cooking full meals may prefer a broader or deeper cavity. Consider whether you can tolerate cooking in rounds. Compare interior and accessory dimensions with the foods you make most often.
Should I choose a French-door, flip-up, or drop-down design?
Choose based on the space around the appliance and how you access food. French doors can make it easier to reach a wide cavity without a large door extending forward, though the doors need side clearance. A flip-up oven can reclaim counter space when stored, but needs room to move safely. Drop-down doors are familiar and can support a tray, yet require open space in front. Measure the path from the oven to your prep area as well as the appliance footprint. Your kitchen layout may matter more than the door style’s appearance.
Do I need rotisserie or dehydrator functions?
Those modes make sense if you already plan to roast food on a spit or dry foods at low temperatures. Rotisserie requires enough interior clearance and space for its attachments, while dehydrating can occupy the oven for an extended period. If your regular cooking is toast, reheating, and air-fried sides, these features may add controls and accessories without changing your routine. Check what equipment is included and how it stores. Let planned use, rather than a long feature list, guide the choice.
Conclusion
For the broadest mix of everyday oven tasks and air frying, I recommend the Ninja Flip SP151 as best overall, especially when counter space is tight. The BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice Air Fry Toaster Oven is my best value-style fit for buyers who want a straightforward, larger everyday format, while the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is the best premium choice for those who will use its wider range of cooking options. Beginners who want a simpler path can start with a conventional BLACK+DECKER or Hamilton Beach model and prioritize controls they find clear. For larger or more specialized cooking, compare the Nuwave, Emeril, Chefman, and Ninja French-door designs by interior shape, accessories, and placement needs. Pick the layout and capacity that match your meals and kitchen first; the extra modes matter only when you will use them.
