Wirecutter's budget air fryer toaster oven, roughly the size of the big Cuisinart at a much lower price. It doesn't cook quite as evenly as pricier picks, and its interface and preheat indicator are less polished.

Top complaints

  • Less even than pricier picks

    Wirecutter says it didn't cook as evenly as the Breville and Cuisinart models, and its fish sticks weren't as crispy as the Breville's.

  • Clunky interface and preheat

    Wirecutter found the screen less intuitive and harder to read, says you must press start after preheating, and found the oven reported it was preheated about two minutes before it actually reached 350°F.

  • Weak rotisserie; owner reliability reports

    Wirecutter's rotisserie spit was hard to assemble and produced a pale, unevenly roasted chicken. Low-star reviews on the Walmart listing Wirecutter links to describe heating elements or whole units quitting within months, and Walmart's AI summary says the door doesn't open fully.

What owners love

  • Big-oven features for less

    Wirecutter says it was the best performer it tested under $225, sometimes matching models that cost twice as much.

  • Even toast, crispy fries and cake

    Wirecutter says it toasted about as well as its other picks, made crispy, evenly browned fries, and baked even, golden cake layers.

  • Adjustable fan and 2-year warranty

    It has two fan speeds or fan off, is lighter than the other picks, and comes with a 2-year warranty.

Good for
  • A large air-fry oven on a budget
  • Families who want a second oven
  • Moving it around (lighter than rivals)
