Cuisinart Air Fryer + Convection Toaster Oven, 8-1 Oven with Bake, Grill, Broil & Warm Options, Stainless Steel, TOA-70

Great idea, flaky timer, poor QC, and terrible support. There’s a lot to like about this unit: as an air fryer, it has the largest surface area I found, larger than the biggest Phillips or GoWise units (and surface area, rather than volume, is what really matters). It makes some delicious food and ticks some excellent boxes. Unlike the GoWise air fryer I had started with, but returned because the coating on the pan was coming off after only 3 uses, these trays are more durable. I debated whether to give it 2 or 3 stars, and overall I am keeping it so I gave it 3. But there are some pretty serious drawbacks.The first is quality control. On the first unit I had, only 2 of the 4 upper heating elements would ever work on any setting. (Note that only the outer 2 are enabled on some settings, such as broil, so that appears to be at least somewhat normal.) Moreover, the timer was wrong — set it to 10 minutes, and you get 14. Set it to 20, and you get 24. Very consistently off like that. On these grounds, I returned it.The replacement has working heating elements, but its timer runs 6 minutes long: 15 minutes gets you 21. This is very consistent. The label on the timer clearly had an inappropriately large gap between 10 minutes and 0, and this seems to be a design defect for the entire unit. I saw a lot of people here complain about the unit being too hot. I did not experience that, but it is possible that the timer’s inaccuracy would cause people to think that. The replacement unit also had uneven feet and doesn’t sit quite still on the counter.Secondly, the Cuisinart service. They could not tell me the difference between convection bake, convection broil, and convection air fry. Moreover, they promised to have a replacement for my timer problem at my door in 7-10 days. It’s been more than that, and all they say when I call is that the warehouse is “processing”. They said it could take weeks for “processing”, and it would be 7-10 days after THAT. They also outright lied to me (saying the warehouse didn’t have a phone; found the number on the Internet).So if you’re wondering about the different settings, here’s what they do:Convection bake: both bottom elements and outer two upper elementsConvection broil: outer two upper elements onlyAir fry: all 4 upper elements onlyThis isn’t clearly stated in the manual and Cuisinart doesn’t seem to know what their own product does.All three of these have the fan on high. The non-convection bake and broil have the fan on low but are otherwise the same.Bottom line: do not buy this for the warranty. It is so slow as to be indistinguishable from not existing. Buy it and a $5 digital kitchen timer.

Cooks great, not easy to clean. I waited almost a month to write this review.Pros: I’ve used this almost everyday since I had it. I’ve roasted two chickens, spatchcock and had delicious chicken in under 40 minutes. The air fryer basket is so much bigger than my original insta pot model, and for two of us, there’s room left over for anything I’ve cooked. Works great. Dials are a little wonky but turn them all the way to the right and work backwards to get to the setting you want. Being able to cook healthy dinners without heating up my kitchen is great. I think the last thing I actually made in it was toast and that worked out really well.Cons: every time I use it, I wipe it down with a wet cloth. Even using aluminum foil every time I use it, it’s hard to clean. I didn’t realize that the crumb tray also could collect grease and it was only when I preheated it a few days ago and there was a food smell that I investigated and pulled it out. The back of the tray was stained with grease. I pulled it out and tried to clean it. I ended up soaking it all night in baking soda and white wine vinegar. The same for the baking sheet, despite using foil it still has stains on it and while the soaking for both pieces helped, it’s not what I consider clean and it bothers me. You can’t use any abrasives on the trays or the inside of the oven so it’s a lot of wiping.I mentioned I cooked chicken twice and it splattered inside the oven, I mentioned it to someone and they said well don’t cook chicken, that’s ridiculous, I bought this to not use my oven when it’s 100 degrees outside!I think I’ll contact the company and see if I can buy another baking sheet and crumb tray to use when I bake because I won’t bake in that tray now, it’s just used as a rack to hold either the grill or air fry basket.So, yes it cooks amazing, it does not heat my kitchen, it looks great on the counter and the outside cleans easily, I wish it was easier to keep clean, and that’s a biggie for me, but I don’t regret buying it and I can’t complain about the quality of the product.

Es el mejor hornito y air fryer. Nosotras buscamos muchas opciones y esta es la meeeejor opción. Si funcionamiento increíble.

Works great so far. Mechanical controls ftw. Most even toasting of bread and air frying that I have seen so far in a toaster or air fryer. The electronic controls on the digital machines seem to fail early, possibly due to heat. The thermostat knobs and mechanical timer on this one should be more durable. These things do get hot on the outside and the vent on the back needs to be clear of delicate walls or cabinets if you’ll be cooking something that takes a long time. Nice thing is: the fan is quiet but powerful.I have a SS fridge, micro, and dishwasher so this one looks great and blends in perfectly.Space may be an issue. Before this I had a separate toaster oven and a small basket air fryer. This oven is on the larger side when it comes to kitchen appliances. Think small microwave size. But when you consider the size of the two separate machines put together, well, this is about that size so I think it works, even in my small kitchen.Cook time for air frying raw potato wedges was FAST. Like 12 minutes. Otherwise, apart from toast I’ve done some frozen foods which cooked very evenly. The main trick is following the instructions on what level to place the rack, upper or lower, depending on how and what you are cooking.Only con: I can’t run the microwave simultaneously on the same circuit, it trips the breaker. It’s powerful 😂

Versatile & cute. I love this miniature oven…..it has so many functions & it’s just the right size for my husband & myself. The best part is the air fryer option…perfect.
