What the testers found
The budget option, rated Recommended by America's Test Kitchen (a step below the Breville): "This roomy, relatively affordable air-fryer toaster oven performed beautifully on most tasks, air frying, roasting, and broiling well." But it "seemed underpowered when it came to toasting, producing very light toast even when we'd selected the darkest setting," and its display is small.
