Emeril Lagasse 26QT French Door Multi-Function Air FryerExtra Large16.9 x 15.8 x 14.8 inchesCheck on Amazon
Picture a weeknight: chicken thighs need to roast, a tray of vegetables wants some color, and the full-size oven would heat the whole kitchen for a half-hour of cooking. That is the gap an air fryer toaster oven is meant to fill, and the Cuisinart TOA-70NAS is the listing that best matches this keyword in our set. Its title promises 1800W, an 8-in-1 function list, a 0.6 cubic foot cavity, a 60-minute timer and a stainless steel finish.
This page reads that listing, six others, and the brand’s published specifications. Nobody on the team used or measured these units, so you will not find cooking-time claims, noise numbers or star ratings. You will find what the titles actually say, which claims are ambiguous, and how to decide if the TOA-70NAS or one of the alternatives suits your kitchen.

Is the TOA-70NAS worth considering?
For most homes, the question is not whether an air fryer toaster oven works, but whether it can replace a second appliance. The title suggests a yes if your daily cooking is for one to four people. A 0.6 cubic foot cavity sits in the middle of the countertop-oven range, a 60-minute timer is long enough for roasting, and the function list covers the basics: air frying, convection baking, broiling and keeping food warm. That is a sensible set for weeknight cooking.
The reasons to think twice are mostly about space and power. This is a countertop oven with an 1800W rating, so it is not an unobtrusive gadget. If your counter is crowded, or your kitchen shares a circuit between the outlets, you might struggle to run it alongside a kettle or microwave.
Who should buy it, who should skip it
It suits a couple or small family who cook from scratch several nights a week and want a faster preheat than a full-size oven. It suits renters in small kitchens who need a single oven-like appliance. It is also a plausible pick for anyone who has been disappointed by small basket air fryers because the food was crowded: a flatter cooking space generally lets you spread food in a single layer.
Skip it if you cook for six or more regularly, since 0.6 cubic feet is not a large cavity and large cuts or a whole bird may not fit. Skip it if you only want crisp fries and wings; a basket model costs less in this set and takes up less room. Skip it if you want a stated pizza size, because the title does not give one. If your household is large, the guide to air fryer ovens for large families deals with capacity more directly.
What the listing title does and does not tell you
The function list
The title says 8-in-1 but names only four functions: Air Fry, Convection, Broil and Warm. The other four are not listed in the title, so check the product page and manual to see whether they include Bake, Toast, Pizza or Bagel settings. A reasonable guess is not a confirmed fact, so confirm before you rely on a function you need.
Sibling confusion: 8-in-1 versus 7-in-1
The TOA-55 is titled “Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo” and 7-in-1, while the TOA-70NAS says 8-in-1. They share 1800W and 0.6 cubic feet, so they look close on paper. Which one has more or different functions is unclear from the titles alone. If the price gap is small, compare the two specification sheets line by line instead of picking by the number in the title.
1800W and your circuit
At 120 volts, 1800 watts is about 15 amps if the heating elements run at full draw. Many U.S. kitchen circuits are rated 15 or 20 amps and share outlets, and manufacturers usually say to plug these ovens straight into a wall outlet with no extension cord. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes. If a breaker trips whenever you run this oven with other appliances, ask a qualified electrician to review the circuit and do not work around it yourself.
What is missing
The title omits outside dimensions, weight, included accessories, maximum temperature, noise, warranty terms and rack positions. Maximum temperature is stated for the TOA-55 (450°F) and the AFC-4 but not for the TOA-70NAS. Do not assume the numbers carry over between models.
Questions to ask before you buy
- Which accessories come in the box: a baking pan, a rack, an air fry basket or tray? Cooking methods change with each.
- What are the exterior dimensions, and do they fit under your cabinets with the clearance the manual requires?
- How easy is the crumb tray to remove, and is the interior coated or bare metal?
- Is the timer a shutoff timer only, or does the unit also hold a set temperature?
- Does the listing say which parts are dishwasher-safe? Only the AIR-200NAS title mentions dishwasher-safe parts, so assume nothing for the others.
- What is the warranty, and is the seller authorized by the brand?
Cleaning and upkeep
Competitor guides for this keyword spend time on cleaning, and fairly so: an oven that gets used daily collects grease. A sensible routine, to be checked against the manual, looks like this. Unplug the unit and let it cool. Slide out the crumb tray and wash it. Wash racks and trays by hand or as the manual allows. Wipe the interior with a damp cloth and a drop of dish soap, and avoid steel wool on coated surfaces. Wipe the door glass, and never immerse the body or cord in water.
If you cook fatty foods like ribs, reheating guidance in how to reheat ribs in an air fryer shows why grease management matters: drips collect on the tray and can smoke if left. Empty the tray after fatty meals rather than weekly.
Alternatives from this set
Cuisinart TOA-55 Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo
Closest sibling. The title gives 7-in-1, 1800W, 0.6 cubic feet, convection, a 450°F maximum, a removable crumb tray and a 12-inch pizza fit.
Pros
- States a pizza size and maximum temperature, which are the specs many buyers look for.
- Same stated cavity and wattage as the TOA-70NAS, so the cooking space looks equivalent on paper.
Cons
- One function fewer by the title count, though which one is unclear.
- Same 1800W demand on your circuit.
Cuisinart AFC-4 (4 qt) and AIR-200NAS (6 qt) basket air fryers
These are different style of product from the main review subject, not toaster ovens. The AFC-4 pairs a glass basket with a ClearView window, 5 functions, 2 custom presets and a 450°F maximum. The AIR-200NAS lists a 6-quart basket, 5 functions, 5 presets and dishwasher-safe parts.
Pros
- Both sit in the budget tier of this set.
- Baskets are usually simpler to clean, and the AIR-200NAS title mentions dishwasher-safe parts.
- The AFC-4 window lets you check food without opening the unit.
Cons
- No rack space for sheet-pan meals, pizza or toast based on the titles.
- Capacity is stated in quarts, which is hard to compare directly with a 0.6 cubic foot oven cavity.
They are a better match for cooks who want the crisping function and nothing else. See the best things to cook in an air fryer for ideas that suit a basket.
Emeril Lagasse 26QT French Door Air Fryer Toaster Oven
Different brand, larger format. The title lists 26 quarts, French doors, 24 cooking functions, a dual-speed fan and rotisserie.
Pros
- Much more stated capacity for families and batch cooking.
- Rotisserie is a feature the other listings in this set do not mention.
Cons
- A large footprint; measure your counter and the height under cabinets.
- 24 functions is a marketing count; confirm how many are distinct.
Breville BOV900BSS Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro
The premium option, with 13 functions, roast, bake and dehydrate listed, and convection described as reducing cook time by up to 30%. That is the seller’s claim, and the baseline for the comparison is not stated.
Pros
- Broadest function list in the set, including dehydrating.
- Dehydrating is the sort of extra a basket model cannot offer.
Cons
- Highest price in the set by a clear margin.
- Many features may go unused if you mostly roast and reheat.
Cuisinart TOB-40NNAS Toaster Oven Broiler
Plain speaking: this listing does not mention air frying, so it is a weaker match for the keyword. It is an 1800W, 0.5 cubic foot toaster oven with a nonstick interior, shade control and room for an 11-inch pizza or 4 bagel halves.
Pros
- Lowest price tier in the set and a smaller footprint.
- Good for toast, bagels and reheating.
Cons
- No air fry function in the title.
- Smaller cavity at 0.5 cubic feet.
Three kitchens, three different answers
The two-person apartment
Two people cooking dinner rarely need more than one tray at a time. In that kitchen the TOA-70NAS is already generous, and the main risk is buying more oven than the counter can hold. If counter space is tight, a basket model such as the AFC-4 or AIR-200NAS might be the more livable choice, and the TOB-40NNAS covers toast and reheating at the smallest footprint in this set. The deciding questions are how many hours a week you will actually use the air fry function and whether the oven must also double as a toaster.
The family of four
A family of four sits at the edge of what 0.6 cubic feet handles comfortably. A tray of chicken thighs plus a tray of vegetables may need staggered cooking, and a whole chicken probably will not fit. For this household the TOA-70NAS works for weeknight dinners with some planning, while the Emeril 26QT listing offers much more stated space. The page on family-size air fryers is worth a look if you prefer a basket format with a larger capacity.
The enthusiast cook
Someone who bakes, dehydrates and wants precise control may find the TOA-70NAS list of functions limiting. The Breville BOV900BSS lists 13 functions, including dehydrate, and is the sensible shortlist item for this person. Ask whether the extra functions are ones you will use monthly. Features you never touch are an expensive way to feel prepared.
Buying checklist and a worked example
- List the three dishes you cook most often.
- Check each dish’s footprint against the cavity or basket.
- Count how many batches a typical meal will take.
- Measure the counter spot and the cabinet height.
- Compare the accessories and warranty in the box.
Worked example. Assumptions: a family of four, 2 pounds of chicken wings for dinner, and a basket that holds about 1 pound in a single layer, which is an illustrative guess to replace with real numbers from the manual. A basket air fryer would need two rounds. If each round takes 25 minutes, dinner takes about 50 minutes of cooking. An oven-style unit with a rack and tray that holds both pounds in one tray cuts that to a single 25-minute round. That is the logic behind choosing an oven format when you cook for more than two.
Electricity example: 1800 watts for 30 minutes is 0.9 kilowatt-hours. At an assumed 17 cents per kilowatt-hour, that is about 15 cents per session at full draw. Heating elements cycle on and off, so real use is likely lower. This is an estimate, not a measurement.
Ideas for your first cooks can come from air fryer zucchini recipes and the oven and air fryer methods in jalapeno poppers, which show how food changes between methods. Safety note: keep flammable items away from the unit, never leave it running unattended, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Mistakes buyers make with countertop ovens
- Buying by function count. Titles advertise 7-in-1, 8-in-1, 13 functions and 24 functions, but the counts are not standardized. One brand may count Bake and Toast separately, another may combine them. Compare the named functions, not the number.
- Ignoring clearance. These ovens get hot on the outside. Placing one directly under a wall cabinet or against a backsplash can trap heat and damage surfaces. Follow the manual’s spacing.
- Overfilling the cavity. Air frying works by moving hot air around food. Piling food in a thick layer gives soft, uneven results, and that applies to any model.
- Skipping the plug test. A tripped breaker is the first sign of too many appliances on one circuit. Do not respond by using an extension cord.
- Treating seller claims as facts. A claim such as convection cutting cook times by up to 30% depends on the baseline and is not an independent measurement.
- Forgetting the cleaning routine. A unit that is awkward to clean tends to be used less. Check how the crumb tray and racks come out before you buy.
Verdict
The TOA-70NAS is a sensible mid-range choice for small households that want one appliance for roasting, crisping and toasting. Its biggest unknowns are the four unnamed functions, the missing pizza size and the exterior dimensions. If pizza and a stated maximum temperature matter, the TOA-55 is clearer on paper. If you only want crisp food, a basket model is cheaper. If you cook for a crowd, the Emeril listing offers more space, and the Breville is for those who want features and accept the price. Confirm the details on the listing before you buy.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Cuisinart TOA-70NAS a real air fryer or just a convection oven?
The title lists Air Fry as one of its 8-in-1 functions alongside Convection, Broil and Warm, so the manufacturer positions it as both. In countertop ovens, air frying generally means a higher-speed fan and a mesh basket or tray, while convection means a gentler fan. Check the listing for the accessories included, since results depend on airflow and how food is spread out.
Does the TOA-70NAS fit a 12-inch pizza?
The title for the TOA-70NAS does not state a pizza size. The sibling TOA-55 listing says it fits a 12-inch pizza, and the TOB-40NNAS toaster oven is listed for an 11-inch pizza. If pizza matters, confirm the interior width and rack height on the TOA-70NAS listing or in its manual before assuming it matches either of those figures.
How should I clean a countertop air fryer toaster oven?
Unplug the unit and let it cool fully. Empty and wash the crumb tray, wash any rack or tray according to the manual, and wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding abrasive pads on coated surfaces. Do not immerse the oven body in water. Clean grease promptly, since built-up residue can smoke at higher temperatures.
Can I use an 1800W oven on any kitchen outlet?
The title lists 1800 watts, which is roughly 15 amps at 120 volts, a heavy load for an ordinary circuit. Plug directly into a wall outlet, avoid extension cords and power strips, and do not run it alongside other high-wattage appliances on the same circuit. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes, and ask a qualified electrician if you are unsure about your wiring.
Is a toaster oven air fryer better than a basket air fryer?
Neither is better in general. A toaster oven style gives you rack space for sheet-pan meals, pizza and toast, while a basket style tends to be smaller, simpler to clean and often faster to preheat. Choose by what you cook most. If you mostly want crisp fries and wings for one or two people, a basket model may be enough.
How big a counter space does the TOA-70NAS need?
The title gives 0.6 cubic feet of capacity but no outside dimensions. Countertop ovens need clearance for heat to vent, and manuals typically specify distances from walls and cabinets. Measure your space, including the height under wall cabinets, and compare with the dimensions on the listing or the specification sheet before you order.
