The expert favorite when you want one appliance that air-fries and does everything else a countertop oven does, but it is expensive, loud on super convection, and some owners report durability problems.
Top complaints
- Very expensive
Wirecutter calls it very expensive and says a cheaper Cuisinart gets similar results more slowly. Value for money is mixed on Amazon, with some owners saying it isn't worth the high price.
- Durability: shattered glass, failed elements
Durability is a negative aspect in Amazon's review summary (413 mentions), citing glass doors shattering and heating elements breaking.
- Uneven toast, hot exterior, loud fan
Wirecutter, Serious Eats and Tom's Guide all found it toasts less evenly than the best options. Tom's Guide notes the exterior gets hot, and Wirecutter calls the super-convection fan loud.
What owners love
- Excellent air frying in an oven
Serious Eats calls it the best air fryer toaster oven, with golden fries and wings. Wirecutter says it is the only model that is both an excellent air fryer and an excellent toaster oven.
- Big and versatile
Thirteen cooking functions, and Breville says it fits a 14-lb turkey and most 9x13 pans. Amazon owners praise its versatility.
- Intuitive controls
Serious Eats found the bright display and knobs make switching settings intuitive.

What experts say
- Wirecutter (NYT): Top air fryer toaster oven; the cons are the high price, a loud super-convection fan, and toast slightly less even than the runner-up.
- Serious Eats: Best air fryer toaster oven with golden fries and wings; it doesn't toast as well as a standalone toaster.
- Tom's Guide: Pricey but worth it for its versatility; the exterior gets hot and the accessories aren't dishwasher-safe (2021 review).
