Yes, for the right buyer. The Emeril Lagasse 26QT French Door Multi-Function Air Fryer Toaster Oven ranks #7 in our Best Air Fryer Toaster Ovens list. Its biggest strength: french doors are a genuine usability upgrade, no reaching over a hot drop-down door to pull a rack. The main caveat: french door hinges require more clearance in front of the unit than swing-down doors.

The main trade-offs owners and reviewers point to: french door hinges require more clearance in front of the unit than swing-down doors; air fry crisping is less consistent on the outer edges of the large cavity; bulkiest unit in this roundup outside the Ninja, needing a dedicated counter zone.

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.
