Ninja Foodi DT201 vs BALMUDA The Toaster Pro

The BALMUDA The Toaster Pro and the Ninja Foodi DT201 are built for very different kitchens. The Ninja is a large combo toaster oven and air fryer with a tall, spacious chamber that can fit a whole chicken, multiple trays at once, or up to nine slices of bread, and it backs that capacity up with genuinely strong performance across baking, air frying, and toasting. The BALMUDA is a small, single-purpose steam toaster that can only fit a couple of slices of bread at a time, can't air fry at all, and doesn't hold up to the Ninja even at its own purported specialty, since the Ninja toasts more evenly despite its size. The BALMUDA's only real advantages are a much smaller footprint and a noticeably faster preheat, so it won't eat up counter space or leave you waiting around. Unless counter space is extremely tight or you specifically want a countertop steam toaster, the Ninja is the better all-around choice.
