We had the Cuisinart one. It was ok. When it died after a few years I bought a separate airfryer and it works so much better.

I love my Breville. I rarely use my big oven anymore.

It’s better than a toaster oven because it has a real convection oven (i.e., with a fan) that heats up faster and cooks more quickly than a standard full convection oven. Because the convection fan circulates the heat, there is no need for preheating in most cases. I’ve found that if a recipe says something needs to cook for 15 minutes, you can pop it in cold on convection for that amount of time. The air fryer setting is basically a super convection setting that is awesome for roasting vegetables and meat and reheating anything that should be crispy (pizza, egg rolls, etc).

+1 for the ninja fold-up

I do - it’s a few years old so can’t link, but it’s Galanz brand and I really like it.

I like my basic toaster oven. I don't understand why this is better, can someone explain if its worth upgrading? I can make toast and French fries now.

We have the Ninja and I just recently started toasting sliced bread on the air frying setting @ 400F for about 3-5 minutes, depending on bread type, with much better results. The on-board "toast" setting is sub par on this machine.
