Cuisinart TOA-70 Air Fryer Oven Review (2026)

Suits families that air fry often and also grill burgers, steaks, and sandwiches indoors. Buyers who value precise digital baking control, or who need a full 13 inch pizza fit, should choose the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro instead.

The 1800 watt system air fries up to 3 lb of wings and toasts 6 slices, covering most family snack and side jobs in one load. Published reviews and owners rate fries and chicken skin highly.

The reversible grill and griddle plate is the differentiator: it sears burgers and presses sandwiches in a way flat tray ovens cannot replicate.

Three dials control function, temperature, and time. They are quick to set but less repeatable than digital models, and owners advise watching the first toast batches to learn the shade dial.

The 3 year limited warranty is the best cover in this topic, which matters for a heavily used family appliance.

Against the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro, the Cuisinart is smaller at 0.6 versus 1 cubic foot and uses dials instead of Element IQ digital control, but it adds grilling and carries a longer warranty. Against the COSORI CO130-AO, the Cuisinart feels better finished and grills, while the COSORI offers a larger 26 liter cavity and more functions at a budget tier.

Choose the TOA-70 when grilling joins air frying in your weekly routine.

Two ownership habits decide satisfaction here. First, cleaning: the air fry basket needs hand washing for best results, and owners report that the interior staining shows with frequent air frying, so a wipe after fatty loads keeps it looking cared for. That patience is repaid quickly.

Second, the learning curve sits in the dials. Owners advise that toast shade can run dark on the first batches and that learning the toast setting takes trial and error, because the three dials are less precise than digital models. Once that shade is learned, the same owners rate the size as good for a family without dominating the counter. It is a short curve, not a steep one.
