For most foods: close enough that most households cannot tell the difference in a side-by-side test. For french fries, chicken wings, and breaded foods: a dedicated basket-style air fryer (where the food is surrounded by airflow on all sides) produces slightly crispier results than a toaster oven rack because the basket geometry exposes the food bottom to direct hot air rather than resting it on a solid rack. For larger items, whole chicken pieces, salmon fillets, vegetables, toaster oven air fry performs identically to a basket air fryer because the air circulation rather than the basket geometry does the work. For households that want both functions in one appliance without two countertop footprints: a well-chosen air fryer toaster oven is the practical choice.

The Ninja DT201 Foodi is the largest widely-available air fryer toaster oven, with a 2-rack capacity that holds a full-size sheet pan on each level simultaneously. It fits a 13-inch pizza, a whole chicken, or two racks of food at once. The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro BOV900BSS is also a large-capacity option at 1 cubic foot with Element IQ.
