Granny Franny: I’m not sure where to start. I replaced a toaster oven with a too-big footprint. This new one has several advantages:
1. the toast isn’t always burned, and if it were I could easily adjust the problem away.
2. The air fryer is big, and the basket and tray are dishwasherable.
3. It is preprogrammed for a wide variety of foods, yet is also totally adjustable.

So, is there something to complain about? The regular tray used for things other than air frying is not dishwasherable. Yes, I’m a bit OCD about wanting to put everything except my wooden cutting boards in the dishwasher. Also, the clock is now wrong, and the instructions for setting the clock don't seem to work.

RAFAEL JAIMES: No necesitas mas. solo un comentario el instructivo debe contar con varios idiomas para entender cómo usarlo. No trae instructivo en ruso.

RTEX: In the first few days I cooked toast, frozen waffles, and tacos. and used it to air fry french fries from scratch, breaded fish patties for sandwiches, chimichangas, and hard-boiled eggs. I had no previous experience with air frying, and I cannot believe how easy this to use, and how easy it is to clean. I keep a sheet of foil on the bottom of the pan, which helps to keep the pan clean, and most often even the foil wipes clean, and is good for many uses. Do not put foil or anything on the crumb tray though.

It did take me 3 tries to get my toast the way I like, but it was easy to adjust the settings to make it right for me. It makes great toast, and everything else has cooked great on my first attempt. It is a powerful convection toaster oven, and air fryer with many options to choose from.

Please read the manual!
The Manual is very good, and you can also download it from the Cuisinart website. Like any new appliance, it takes several times of using the dials and buttons, before it starts to feel normal, and you understand how they all work. Then you can adjust settings to your liking with ease.

This is a big improvement from the Breville...

Greta Garbo: Replacement for smaller model. This one is digital. A bit trickier to program but same results.

Shelby: For a small appliance that costs almost as much as an inexpensive full-size stove, I have to say this has pretty much replaced our oven. With only two of us to cook for, this is the perfect size. This replaces a $100 air fryer. That thing frustrated us because it was too small. It might have sufficed for a single person, but two or more people need more space.

As an air fryer it is excellent. If we had a full-size convection oven, we wouldn’t need this. We are planning to use this in our camper. Between this, a stovetop, and a microwave we are pretty much set.

Bug’n’HopBug’n’Hop: Love this AF- specifically model Toa-65. I researched for a super long time before purchasing my 1st AF. I’m going to start with cons first because that’s probably what you’re after. Do note, however, that the pros outweigh the cons :)

Cons:
- Could be bigger or have more racks. However, I do understand that even if it had more racks they wouldn’t all be able to airfry very well at once because in order to achieve the “fry”, the food needs to be very close to heating elements AND the main convection fan- which can really only happen on 1 shelf at a time. This is obviously why many airfryers only have 1 shelf or 1 basket.
- It would be nice if the basket & tray could be bigger, but if they did that, the unit would be huge and it’s already big. Overall, this isn’t an issue and it holds more than I expected it to, as you can see from my photos. The roasted chicken was a fresh 2 pack of whole chickens from Costco, to give you an idea of bird size.
- Cleaning. Overall, it’s not a big deal. Air fryers are going to be dirty and I accepted that immediately. I don’t fret over keeping it sparkling. You should know that you’ll need...

California PersonCalifornia Person: I have been using an Oster 1300W convection bake oven. I was very happy with its convection bake but wanted to replace it with an air fryer / oven unit.

I purchased both the Ninja SP101 and this Cuisinart. I cooked the same items in all the ovens at once to perform a direct comparison. I Initially purchased just the Ninja but noticed a significant bake performance downgrade from the Oster it was replacing so added this Cuisinart to the competition.

Convection bake: Frozen French bread pizza at 400F.

The Cuisinart cooked it perfectly at 6 minutes. The Oster came in second with a perfect pizza after 13 minutes. The Ninja came in last with a disappointing bake after 16 minutes.

Air fryer: Frozen chicken nuggets sprayed with olive oil at 400F

The Cuisinart created a perfect crisp set of nuggets after 9 minutes. The Ninja created a very good crisp after 14 minutes. Both did an excellent job at air fry, but the Cuisinart crisp was slightly better and it cooked much quicker.

So this Cuisinart oven wins by a mile. The Ninja is still a good air fryer if you never touch the Cuisinart.

Notes:
I ruled out the...
