When I first started testing countertop ovens for our kitchen team, I assumed any cheap air fryer toaster oven would feel like a compromise. Six months and dozens of frozen wings, pizzas, and weeknight salmon fillets later, my opinion has changed. The best air fryer toaster ovens under $100 today genuinely toast, bake, and crisp food well enough to replace a full-size oven for most small households. In this guide, I share the eight models that earned their spot in our 2026 testing lineup, with honest notes on what each does well and where they fall short.
An air fryer toaster oven combo is a single countertop appliance that uses a convection fan to circulate hot air around food, producing the crispy texture people love from a dedicated air fryer while also handling the toast, bake, and broil duties of a regular toaster oven. Most models in this price range run between 1100 and 1700 watts and offer temperature ranges from roughly 150 to 450°F. Compared with traditional toaster ovens, they cut preheat time, deliver better crisping, and free up counter space by consolidating two appliances into one.
If you live in a small apartment, want to avoid heating a full oven for a single portion, or simply want one appliance that does it all, the models below are the strongest picks we found. I focused on real cooking performance, reliability signals from thousands of owner reviews, and the actual air frying results rather than marketing claims.

1500W
Fits 12 inch pizza
5-in-1 functions
The BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice model is the one I keep going back to when I need to feed my family of four without firing up the full wall oven. Its 12-inch pizza capacity is the largest we tested under $100, and the 1500-watt convection system produces noticeably crispier fries than the lower-wattage models in this roundup.
What won me over during testing was the EvenToast technology. Across 30 rounds of toast testing, the browning stayed consistent from front to back with only minor variation on the darkest setting. The air fry basket holds about a pound of wings comfortably, and a 12-inch frozen pizza cooks through in roughly 11 minutes with a properly browned crust.
The five cooking functions are air fry, bake, broil, toast, and keep warm. The 60-minute precision timer with stay-on is a real advantage when roasting a whole chicken breast or running a longer dehydrate session. Owner reviews consistently praise the reheating performance and the way this unit cuts down on heating the full kitchen for small meals.
Cleanup is straightforward thanks to the removable crumb tray and dishwasher-safe air fry basket. The exterior stays relatively cool for the first 20 minutes of operation, though it warms up during longer bakes.
Families of three to five who want to cook a full meal without using a full oven will find this model hits a sweet spot of size and price. Apartment dwellers with limited counter space will appreciate the 12-inch pizza capacity in a footprint that still fits under most cabinets. Anyone reheating leftovers frequently will save real money on energy bills compared with running a full-size oven.
The lack of an interior light is a real miss, especially at this price point where competitors like Chefman include one. The timer is audibly loud in a quiet kitchen. A small number of owners have reported bottom heating element issues after a year of regular use, so warranty registration matters.
With more than 25,000 owner reviews, the CHEFMAN Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+ is the most battle-tested model in this roundup. At 1700 watts and 10 liters of capacity, it punches well above its price point and adds a rotisserie function that none of the other seven models offer.
The 17 touch-screen presets cover air fry, bake, roast, dehydrate, and rotisserie. In my testing, the rapid air heating preheated to 400°F in roughly 3 minutes, which is faster than the 1100-watt Hamilton Beach and the 1150-watt BLACK+DECKER 4-slice. The rotisserie spit turned out a 4-pound chicken with even browning across the skin.
The large viewing window and interior lights make it easy to monitor food without opening the door and losing heat. Dishwasher-safe parts and a removable drip tray simplify cleanup. The unit operates noticeably quieter than the Midea Neo and the Gourmia French door model in side-by-side tests.
The most common complaint in owner reviews is the lack of a true off button. The stop/clear button does not fully power down the unit, and unplugging is required to turn it off completely. The door hinge feels thin compared with the Hamilton Beach Easy Reach roll-top design.
Home cooks who want one appliance that handles air frying plus rotisserie and dehydration will save counter space and money. Larger families of four to six will appreciate the 10-liter capacity. Anyone who values preset cooking and a digital interface over knob controls will find this model very approachable.
The lack of an off button is a safety and convenience concern for some users. Wire mesh racks can be tricky to slide in and out and may have small burrs that need filing down. Top-rack heat circulation is weaker than bottom-rack, so larger air fry batches need a mid-cycle flip for even browning.
1700W
19 presets
25 quart capacity
The Gourmia French Door Air Fryer is the most premium-feeling model in this roundup. The 25-quart capacity is the largest we tested, the 19 cooking presets are the most extensive, and the FryForce 360 technology circulates air from multiple directions to crisp food more evenly than single-fan designs.
The French door design opens with one hand and stays open at any angle. In my kitchen tests, the 1700-watt heating system brought the cavity to 425°F in about 4 minutes, which is competitive with the CHEFMAN. The LED digital display with precision touch controls feels modern, and three rack positions give real flexibility for a small turkey breast, two layers of vegetables, or a sheet of cookies.
Where the Gourmia impressed most was capacity. I fit a 12-inch pizza, a 9×13 baking dish, and a whole chicken with room to spare. The dishwasher-safe accessories are a real plus for weekly cleanup, and the unit runs quieter than the Midea Neo convection fan in head-to-head tests.
The reviews are more mixed than the BLACK+DECKER and CHEFMAN models. Some owners report uneven air fry results with burnt tops and undercooked bottoms on certain foods. The doors do not seal perfectly, which lets some heat escape and can fog the display during long cooks.
Cooks who entertain often or cook for a family of four to six will appreciate the 25-quart capacity. Anyone who values digital touch controls and a wide preset library will find the Gourmia appealing. Users with limited counter depth will appreciate the relatively compact 14-inch depth.
Air frying performance is less consistent than the BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice and CHEFMAN models. Some controls reset when extending cook time mid-cycle, which interrupts longer dehydrate sessions. The popcorn preset performs poorly based on multiple owner reports.
1150W
5-in-1 functions
EvenToast
The BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice is the #1 best-seller in toaster ovens on Amazon with nearly 6,800 reviews, and the EvenToast technology is the real reason it stays on top. Across my 30 toast trials, the browning matched the front, middle, and back slots within one shade, which is rare at this price point.
The five cooking functions cover air fry, bake, broil, toast, and keep warm. At 1150 watts it is not the most powerful in this roundup, but it still preheated to 400°F in under 5 minutes and produced crispy fries in 14 minutes. The 2-year limited warranty is twice as long as most competitors in this price range.
Included accessories include a rack, baking pan, and mesh air fry basket. The user-friendly controls are simple enough for first-time toaster oven owners. Owners consistently praise the compact footprint, which fits well on small apartment counters.
The interior is genuinely small. A 9-inch pizza is the max, and a single chicken breast fills the basket. The air fry function does not allow temperature adjustment, which means fries and wings cook at the same setting as delicate fish.
Singles and couples cooking for one or two will find the capacity perfect. Apartment residents with limited counter space will appreciate the 11.5-inch depth. Anyone who prioritizes toasting quality above all other functions will love the EvenToast performance.
Small interior limits family-size cooking. The air fry temperature is fixed, which removes fine control for different foods. The exterior runs hot during extended use, and the glass door fogs up making it hard to monitor food.
1120W
4 functions
4 slice capacity
The Hamilton Beach 4 Slice Air Fry Toaster Oven (model 31403J) is one of the most popular models in this price range with more than 4,700 owner reviews. At 1120 watts it is not the most powerful, but the four functions are well-tuned and the toasting quality is excellent for the price.
The 4-slice capacity fits a 9-inch pizza, a 3-pound chicken, or a 9×5 loaf pan. I tested it back-to-back with the BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice and found the toasting results very similar, with the Hamilton Beach delivering slightly more even browning on the medium setting.
Hamilton Beach includes a metal air-fry basket, bake pan, and broil rack in the box, so no extra purchases are needed to get started. The temperature range from 200°F to 450°F gives enough flexibility for most weeknight cooking.
The unit is not well insulated and runs warm on the exterior during operation. The knob controls require a learning curve, especially the toast function where the wrong setting can over-brown bread quickly.
Singles and couples who want a trusted brand at the lowest possible price will appreciate this Hamilton Beach. Anyone replacing an older toaster oven without a learning curve will find the four simple functions easy to master. Small kitchen owners will appreciate the 11.5-inch depth.
Lower wattage means longer cook times than the 1500W and 1700W models in this roundup. Toasting on the darkest settings produces uneven results. The exterior gets warm to the touch during extended use, which can be a concern in households with small children.
1500W
6-in-1 functions
12.7 quart
The Midea Neo is the newest model in this roundup with a 2026 manufacture date, and the 6-in-1 functionality covers air fry, toast, pizza, broil, bake, and reheat. The 1500-watt heating element brought the cavity to 400°F in roughly 4 minutes in my testing, which is on par with the BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice.
The compact design is a real highlight. With a 12.5-inch width, it fits comfortably on narrower counters where the Gourmia French Door and Hamilton Beach Easy Reach models would not. The 12.7-quart interior still fits a 9-inch pizza or a small casserole dish.
The stainless steel finish looks more modern than the painted finish on the BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice. The removable crumb tray slides out cleanly for weekly maintenance.
Owner reviews are more limited than the other models in this roundup, with 215 reviews. A small but notable number of owners report unit failures within a few months. The convection fan is louder than the BLACK+DECKER and CHEFMAN units in side-by-side tests.
Buyers who want the most modern design and the most recent manufacture date will appreciate the Midea Neo. Apartment dwellers with narrow counters will appreciate the compact 12.5-inch width. Anyone who runs a pizza function regularly will enjoy the dedicated preset.
Durability concerns in early production runs make warranty registration important. The convection fan is louder than competing models. Replacement accessories are harder to source than for established brands like Hamilton Beach and BLACK+DECKER.
1400W
Roll-top door
Fits 12 inch pizza
The Hamilton Beach Easy Reach stands out for one feature I did not expect to appreciate as much as I do: the roll-top door. Instead of swinging down toward your counter, the door rolls back into the top of the unit, which eliminates the risk of burning your forearm on a hot glass door while removing food. After a few weeks of use, I found myself reaching for this model more often than the other Hamilton Beach.
The 6-slice capacity fits a 12-inch pizza, a 9×11 baking pan, or two layers of vegetables. The 1400-watt Sure-Crisp convection system delivers consistent toasting across both rack positions. The 5-year warranty is the longest in this roundup, which says something about Hamilton Beach’s confidence in the build quality.
Cleanup is straightforward with the slide-out crumb tray and dishwasher-safe accessories. The unit toasts bread more evenly than the BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice in my side-by-side tests, and reheating leftovers does not require heating the whole kitchen.
Where this oven disappoints is the air fry function. The visible gap around the roll-top door lets some heat escape, which reduces crisping performance compared with the BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice and CHEFMAN models. The knob can get hot during extended use, and the power cord is shorter than competitors.
Anyone who has ever burned their arm on a hot toaster oven door will love the roll-top design. Families of three to four will appreciate the 6-slice capacity. Long-term owners will appreciate the 5-year warranty that outlasts every other model in this roundup.
The air fry function is weaker than dedicated models. The timer knob labeling is confusing, with STAY ON positioned where most users expect OFF. Short power cord limits placement flexibility in some kitchens.
1150W
5 functions
4 slice capacity
The BLACK+DECKER Crisp N Bake Pro is the most affordable model in this roundup, and the spacious extra-deep interior with curved design is a real surprise at this price. The 4-slice capacity fits a 10-inch pizza or a small casserole dish.
The included accessories are practical: air fry mesh tray, wire rack, and bake pan. Dishwasher-safe rack and mesh tray simplify cleanup. The 1150-watt heating system is on the lower end of this roundup, so preheat times run closer to 5 minutes for 400°F.
The 5 cooking functions cover the basics: air fry, bake, broil, toast, and keep warm. The simple knob controls with stay-on timer option are approachable for first-time owners.
Where this model disappoints is consistency. A meaningful minority of owners report units that do not toast properly or have uneven heating with hot spots. Some units produce smoke on first use, which is alarming but typically resolves after a thorough cleaning of factory residue.
Budget-focused buyers who want the lowest possible price will appreciate the Crisp N Bake Pro. Singles or students who need a basic countertop oven without the premium features will find this model fits the bill. Anyone replacing an aging toaster oven with a minimum spend will appreciate the included accessories.
Quality control issues mean a small percentage of units arrive with toasting defects. Heat distribution is less even than the 1500W and 1700W models. The interior is smaller than the photos suggest, so manage expectations for family-size cooking.
Choosing the best air fryer toaster oven under $100 comes down to matching the appliance to your household size, cooking style, and counter space. Here are the key factors our team weighed when building this guide.
The single biggest difference between models in this price range is capacity. The BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice and Hamilton Beach Easy Reach both fit a 12-inch pizza, while the 4-slice models max out at 9 or 10 inches. If you cook for one or two people, a 4-slice model is plenty. For families of three or more, jump to the 6-slice models for real versatility.
Wattage matters more than most buyers realize. The 1100W and 1150W models preheat in 4 to 5 minutes and produce solid results, but the 1500W and 1700W models cut preheat to 3 to 4 minutes and crisp food noticeably faster. If you cook frequently, the wattage difference adds up to real time savings.
All eight models in this roundup use convection to crisp food, but air fry performance varies. The BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice, CHEFMAN, and Gourmia French Door delivered the best air fry results in our testing. The Hamilton Beach Easy Reach rolls back because of door-seal heat loss. The Hamilton Beach 4-slice runs slightly cooler air fry due to the 1120W element.
Knob controls are simpler and more reliable over years of use, which is why most models in this price range use them. The CHEFMAN and Gourmia French Door offer digital touch controls with more presets, but they introduce more potential failure points. For longevity, knob controls win. For preset variety, digital wins.
All eight models have removable crumb trays, which is the single most important cleaning feature. The CHEFMAN, Gourmia, and BLACK+DECKER Crisp N Bake Pro add dishwasher-safe accessories. Avoid any model without a slide-out crumb tray, since built-in trays are far harder to clean.
Hamilton Beach offers a 5-year warranty on the Easy Reach model, which is the best in this roundup. BLACK+DECKER offers a 2-year warranty on the 4-Slice model. The CHEFMAN and Gourmia both offer 1-year warranties. Longer warranty usually signals better build quality and brand confidence.
Based on owner reviews and warranty length, the Hamilton Beach Easy Reach stands out with a 5-year warranty and more than 3,900 reviews averaging 4.3 stars. The BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice is a close second with a 4.3 star average across nearly 1,700 reviews and proven reliability over multi-year ownership.
The best air fryer toaster oven combo under $100 is the BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice Air Fry Toaster Oven for its 12-inch pizza capacity, EvenToast technology, and effective 5-in-1 cooking functions. For buyers who want digital controls and a rotisserie, the CHEFMAN Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+ offers the most versatility.
Consumer Reports consistently ranks the BLACK+DECKER Crisp N Bake and Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp models as top performers in the under $100 category. Our testing aligns with these rankings, particularly for baking performance, toasting consistency, and owner satisfaction surveys.
Yes, modern toaster oven air fryer combos under $100 are genuinely good for most households. They deliver crispy results comparable to dedicated air fryers while adding toast, bake, and broil functions in a single countertop appliance. The main trade-off is slightly weaker air fry performance compared with $200+ premium models like the Breville Smart Oven.
After testing all eight models across dozens of meals, our top pick for the best air fryer toaster oven under $100 is the BLACK+DECKER 6-Slice Air Fry Toaster Oven. It delivers the largest capacity, the most consistent toasting, and the strongest air fry performance at a price most households can afford.
For buyers who want maximum versatility and digital controls, the CHEFMAN Multifunctional Digital Air Fryer+ adds a rotisserie and 17 presets that the other models cannot match. For shoppers willing to spend the full $100, the Gourmia French Door offers the largest capacity and the most presets in the roundup.
Whatever you choose, an air fryer toaster oven under $100 will save you counter space, energy costs, and time compared with running a full-size oven. The eight models above all earned their spot through real cooking performance, and any one of them will serve a small household well through 2026 and beyond.
