The Cuisinart Air Fryer TOA-60 is a medium-sized toaster oven/air fryer combo. It has a simple design without any screens or touch-sensitive buttons. It lacks the Cuisinart Air Fryer TOA-70's 'Grill' feature. However, it has seven modes for different cooking methods, including 'Air Fry' and 'Convection Bake,' and it comes with a mesh basket for air frying along with a baking sheet and a wire rack.
Our Verdict
The Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven (TOA-60) is alright for mixed use. While it won't fit a 9" x 13" baking sheet, it's big enough to accommodate a loaf pan, the average frozen pizza, or a six-cup muffin tin. It preheats quickly, so it's a good option for reheating leftovers. It makes good toast fairly quickly. It also air fries rapidly, and while some ovens produce more even results, it's a decent option for your favorite crispy foods like breaded chicken wings. However, it doesn't maintain a stable temperature during cooking and often overshoots the selected setting, so it's not well-suited for baking things like bread, cakes, and cookies.

This makes it less suitable for purposes like baking, reheating, and air frying since it makes it more difficult to follow recipes and can lead to your food burning or drying out. That said, the temperature is uniform throughout the chamber.

Popular Toaster Oven Comparisons
The Cuisinart Air Fryer TOA-60 is a toaster oven/air fryer combo that doesn't really stand out for its performance. This is partly because of its disappointing temperature stability, affecting its baking and reheating performance. Unlike the Cuisinart Air Fryer TOA-70, it doesn't have a 'Grill' feature, and it has fewer functions and a smaller temperature range than the Cuisinart Digital Air Fryer CTOA-130PC3. That said, it performs decently well for air frying and is good for toasting. If you want a similar toaster oven but plan to use it for baking and reheating more than for air frying, you might prefer the Breville the Smart Oven BOV800XL or the Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp 31196FG.
Test Results
The Cuisinart Air Fryer TOA-60 is a medium-sized toaster oven. It's quite tall, so you'll need to be sure it can fit under cabinets or shelves above your counter.
It has a medium-sized cooking chamber. It won't fit a 9" x 13" baking sheet, but a 12" pizza or a loaf pan won't be an issue. Only a couple of tray positions are possible, however. The Gourmia Digital Air Fryer GTF7900's cooking chamber has similar dimensions and offers three possible tray positions.
- 11.0 x 12.4 in wire rack (28 x 31.5 cm)

It's fairly versatile. This is a more basic model from Cuisinart, and it lacks the Cuisinart Air Fryer TOA-70's 'Grill' feature and doesn't have as many functions as the Cuisinart Digital Air Fryer CTOA-130PC3. For example, its lowest temperature is too hot for dehydrating foods. You can't set its timer for more than 60 minutes, and it lacks a 'Stay On' function. That said, it has a fan for air frying, and you can decide if you want to use a high or low fan setting when using 'Bake' or 'Broil.' The fan is completely off only when using the 'Warm' setting.
| Function | Temperature | Timer | Fan |
| Warm | 'Warm' | 1 - 60 minutes | Off |
| Broil | 450 °F ('Broil') | 1 - 60 minutes | Low |
| Broil (Convection) | 450 °F ('Broil') | 1 - 60 minutes | High |
| Toast | 450 °F (Toast) | Light, Medium, or Dark | Low |
| Bake | 250 °F - 450 °F | 1 - 60 minutes | Low |
| Bake (Convection) | 250 °F - 450 °F | 1 - 60 minutes | High |
| Air Fry | 250 °F - 450 °F | 1 - 60 minutes | High |
This toaster oven is also equipped with a light so you can see into the cooking chamber.
It's easy to clean by hand. The inside of the cooking chamber has a non-stick coating, which makes it easier to scrub away grease. The chamber is big enough to maneuver around with a sponge or cloth. However, reaching between the upper elements or below the lower ones is difficult. The element covers have sharp corners that can cut you if you're not careful when cleaning around them. The baking tray doesn't have any coating, which makes it more difficult to clean, depending on what you used it for.
It's a good toaster oven at maximum capacity. It can fit six slices of bread and doesn't take too long to make golden-brown toast. However, the bottom of the bread doesn't get toasted as quickly as the top, especially for the slices closest to the door.
It's great for toasting four slices at once. It performs a bit better with fewer slices, with less difference between the top and bottom of the bread. The bottom of the bread still turns out paler than the top.
It has decent air frying performance. It quickly air fries foods like French fries, wings, or vegetables. However, the results aren't the most even, since some of your food will start to overcook while some is still pale and not crispy.
This toaster oven preheats quickly but lacks a preheat reminder.
This toaster oven has disappointing temperature stability. Its actual temperature is significantly hotter than the selected setting for much of the cooking time. This makes the oven's performance less predictable and can lead to your food burning or drying out before it's cooked through. On the plus side, the temperature is uniform throughout the cooking chamber, so you shouldn't notice hot or cold spots.
