Product Information

Budget: This will obviously be a big consideration when it comes to choosing the best toaster oven air fryer for your home. While some air fryers can comfortably cost three figures, you might be surprised by how cheap you can find models by reputable brands. Air fryers are one of those things where sometimes you’re unsure as to how they work – but we can assure you they are incredibly simple to use and produce great tasting fried food using little to no oil. Using hot air which is rapidly circulated around the cooking chamber, these health fryers create deliciously golden and crispy fried foods without the need for deep frying. There are several key differences between toaster ovens and air fryers, which may influence which one you choose to buy. These include:

For the size, there is a huge range of settings to choose from. Temperature goes from 100°C to 240°C, and you can select which heat setting is best, from grill to full/top/bottom oven. The timer also reaches between 15 minutes to 120, which is one of the most generous of those we reviewed and great if you’re making any meats or casseroles. The outside of the appliance gets warm when in use but the cool touch end panels reduce some of this warmth, so it isn’t bad enough to avoid touching it. The instruction manual states that a gap of 12.5 cm must be left around it, so bear this in mind before buying and make sure you could fit it in the space you have planned.There are a range of factors to consider to when choosing a toaster oven air fryer for your home. These include:

There are three dials, for temperature, settings and timer. Temperature choices go from 90°C to 230°C, and you can select the grill or full oven functions. The timer will go up to 60 minutes, or there is a ‘stay on’ option if you’d prefer to keep an eye on proceedings yourself.

Specification

Cooking Functions: What will you be making in your oven? Will you need to defrost food, grill bacon, bake cakes or slow cook a casserole or two every week? Do you want a fan-powered oven for a more even and reliable cook? The functions you will be looking for will be unique to your cooking needs, but make sure it will at least be adaptable. For starters, it seems to be the best price out there (for this or similar looking and/or differently branded versions) and it arrived promptly with standard delivery. While this particular mini oven doesn’t take out all of the work on your behalf, it is certainly the cleverest on the market. Thanks to clever technology which can adjust the settings as it cooks, your food will be perfectly done, and there is no fine adjustment needed. We were also impressed by the 'toast' function; as simple as it sounds, nailing the just-right balance when cooking toast can be a struggle for some conventional toasters. However, the Smart Oven managed two slices of perfectly browned, crunchy toast in about two minutes flat, free from burnt edges or caught-in-the-toaster crusts. It is basic so perfect for anyone who doesn’t need an all-singing-all-dancing model. Three cooking functions (standard, grill and lower heating) create the heat and setting you need. Temperature ranges from 60°C to 220°C, which is good for most standard oven-based meals and foods. The timer is very generous, reaching 120 minutes and giving you a bell when the cooking is done.

Heat is given from a convection fan method, so it is spread evenly throughout the entire cooking chamber and will not fluctuate during cooking. Five quartz heating elements adjust throughout the process and get the heat to where it is needed.Most are much easier to clean than standard ovens. There is no bending down to see what you’re doing, for a start. Offering incredible value for money is Russell Hobbs' Express Air Fry Mini Oven. Combining five cook functions with a generously sized capacity, we found it passed the all-important fries test (crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside), and it's also great for cooking freezer food, pizza, fresh bread, tray bakes, and more. Enjoy delicious meals made healthier with the Salter Digital Air Fryer Oven, with air fry, roast, rotisserie, toast and bake functions. Temperature Range: Do you frequently toast croissants in the mornings at 60°C? If so, getting an oven which only begins at 100°C may see a few burnt results. Heating elements: An air fryer is a convection oven that circulates hot air throughout the appliance. A toaster oven will typically have two heating elements, one at the top and one at the bottom of the appliance.
