I’ve tested dozens of toaster ovens and air fryers and now hybrid models that do it all. After hours of baking, browning, broiling, toasting, and air-frying with hot air, Ninja’s Foodi Toaster with its powerful air fryer function tops this list as the best toaster oven and air fryer for 2025.

Pod-shaped air fryer ovens mostly do one thing: air fry. You can control the temperature, but you’re limited to a single cooking function — there’s no broiling, for example — and it’s much harder to be precise if you’re making something that isn’t just crisping up fried food, frozen pizza, or frozen French fries.

They also have a small capacity compared to their overall size, so I wouldn’t call them good space-budgeters, especially if you want one that can cook enough food for two or more people. If you’re short on space in the kitchen, like New Yorkers here, an air fryer/oven combo will work as an air fryer and toaster, and some models, like the flip-up Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven, don’t take up much counter space.

Here’s how the hybrid air fryer toaster ovens performed and some of my favorites.

The Best Air Fryer Toaster Ovens of 2025

The small but mighty Ninja Foodi is my favorite air fryer toaster oven because it outperformed everyone else in my final evaluation and ranked first or second in nearly every single test I did, with a mix of fierce power, stability, and control.

The Ninja heated up the fastest (by far) and kept its heat consistent throughout. The air fryer function was also best in show and it broiled a salmon filet well. It’s the most compact of the countertop ovens and the only model that doesn’t rest more than 7 inches from the wall via a rear-mounted hinge.

One drawback is the Ninja’s internal size, but I think that’s why it works so well. The Ninja is small — about 6 inches and half the height of many other ovens — so you’re somewhat limited in what you can put inside. This makes things a little clumsy when you put food in and take it out and makes it hard to see what’s cooking.

While the KitchenAid didn’t excel in many of the test categories, it didn’t struggle too much in any of them. It has a useful air fry function — though certainly not the best — excellent temperature stability and a very sleek and intuitive control panel (my favorite). It’s on the list because I found it to be a reliable oven that’s the ideal size for most kitchens and its sleek and modern design appealed to me the most.

The Ninja Foodi took the top spot in most tests, and the Breville also scored a few wins, including a win for best-broiled salmon and a dead tie in the cookie competition. This is the one model on this list that can come close to completely replacing your larger oven. It also maintains a precise and consistent heat during cooking and has an impressive air fryer function.

This powerful toaster oven and air fryer can often be found on sale for around $100 off, making it the best value oven on our list. Cuisinart toasters often pack a powerful punch, so be careful when cooking or you could end up enjoying burnt french fries or overcooked chicken.
