Been using my Air Fryer Toaster Oven for about a month and it is everything it claims to be, user friendly, easy to clean, food comes out crisp like deep fried without oil. My only suggestion would be to include recipes for frozen food. Go by deep fried times and keep an eye out for golden brown and remove immediately.

Have been working with this (all functions, including convection and air-fry) and am really happy with it. It is a VERY 'Fast' oven--it seems to run much hotter than the knob setting (but I just decrease the heat from a recipe by 25-50 degrees F.)

I recently purchase the Cuisinart-Air Fryer Toaster Oven. This over works very well. All the food has come out well, I just had to adjust my bake times, because this oven cooks faster than any other one I have ever use. I am very pleased with how easy it is to keep clean.

I am so happy with my Air Fryer Toaster Oven. My “fried” fish was crispy on the outside and flakey on the inside just like deep fried but with NO OIL! Same with my “fried” chicken. I broiled pork chops and they were delicious too! Using the convection feature saves time so I don’t mind cooking at home. I have shared this with my Facebook friends and two of them purchased their own Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven. I did have a problem with the Toaster knob...it fell off. I put it back on but I don’t think it is set properly. I don’t toast in the oven so it’s not a big deal to me.

I love this oven, and use it every day. It makes cooking frozen items for my children (pizza, mozzarella sticks, chicken nuggets, etc.) a quick 5-10 minute job. I make chicken cutlets, roasted veggies and potatoes, hot dogs, pork chops, etc.--if I can bake it in my regular oven, I can bake it in my Cuisinart. I never pre-heat, and everything comes out as if it cooked 3-4 times as long in the regular oven. I'm not a huge fan of the texture of microwaved food, so I use this oven to reheat everything. It only takes a few minutes to reheat, so everything comes out hot, but not dried out or mushy. I am a huge fan of the bake and convection bake options, and basically use either of those two settings for most everything. I also love that it has a light, so that I can see how brown the food is getting.
As much as I love the machine, I give it a 4 star because there are some drawbacks to the machine (and while it looks like a long list of drawbacks, the oven is still totally worth it, in my opinion). When I use convection bake or air fry, I have to pull the machine away from the wall--otherwise the oven will shut off. The timer doesn't seem to be accurate, so there is a learning curve with how long you need to leave your food in for. I generally start cooking with the timer in the center of 0 and 10 (I would think that is 5 minutes, but the timing seems to be off, as well), check for doneness, and then I'll put it back in if it needs more cook time. This is because you cannot turn the timer off, and if the door to the oven is closed and there is still time remaining on the timer, the oven will continue to be on. Therefore, if I have time left on my timer, I have to leave the oven door open until the timer runs out. Not such a big deal, but when I have to pull the unit forward to use the convection bake or air fryer option, the oven door extends over the counter and I have to stand there until the timer is done and watch it so that my son doesn't accidentally walk into the hot oven door (or I could just close the door and let the empty oven continue to cook, but I'm uncomfortable with that, too). The knobs are fragile, and I broke the timer knob within the first two months of regular use, but Cuisinart was amazing about replacing (they replaced the whole unit over a broken knob!). The air fryer function is decent, but not the best. You have to pull the tray completely out, and use tongs or a fork to flip the food (and the food definitely needs to be flipped, otherwise one side will overcook or burn), and the food tastes more baked to me than fried. The air fryer tray underneath the basket gets black with grease that doesn't come off--I assume because the oven gets so hot that it just bakes right on, but it's totally impossible to clean. So I do wish it could be lined with foil or Cuisinart came up with a cooking pad to put in the tray without effecting the air fryer performance. The toaster function is not great either, because toast cooks unevenly if you don't flip it, and who wants to be flipping toast? It's easier to just use a regular toaster in my opinion.
BUT, even though this list of drawbacks is pretty darn long, I still love my Cuisinart and would buy it again! As a full time working mother of three, the quick bake and convection bake options are a lifesaver on busy weeknights when we only have 20 minutes between sports and activities to make and eat dinner and get out the door. If I could only have one cooking appliance in my house, this would be it.
