Cuisinart TOB-40N Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler

Yes, for the right buyer. The Cuisinart TOB-40N Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler ranks #7 in our Best Toaster Ovens Under $100 list. Its biggest strength: 3-year warranty exceeds the 1-year coverage typical of budget and even some premium models. The main caveat: no convection fan, a classic radiant-heat design, so browning is less even than convection models.

Based on our research it suits budgets under $100. It's ranked #7 of 11 in our Best Toaster Ovens Under $100 list.

The main trade-offs owners and reviewers point to: no convection fan, a classic radiant-heat design, so browning is less even than convection models; no digital display or precise temperature readout; dated design compared to digital competitors at a similar price.

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.
