Our Verdict

Breville the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro (Toaster Oven)

CHEF iQ MiniOven

The CHEF iQ MiniOven and Breville the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro (Toaster Oven) are similarly capable overall, but each has a few clear advantages. The CHEF iQ air fries more evenly, preheats and toasts faster, and takes up much less counter space. Its large touchscreen also lets you access its food-specific presets directly on the oven instead of relying as heavily on the app. The Breville gives you more room inside and holds a steadier temperature, so it's better for baking and larger batches. It's also easier to clean, since the CHEF iQ's upper heating elements are a bit awkward to navigate around.
