Cuisinart TOA-70 Air Fryer Toaster Oven vs Ninja Air Fryer Max XL

These are different tools. The Cuisinart TOA-70 is a 6-slice toaster oven with air fry, grill, bake and toast modes, so it replaces a toaster and a small oven as well as an air fryer. The Ninja Air Fryer Max XL is a dedicated 5.5-quart basket fryer that does one thing well and holds a lot. Buy the Cuisinart if you want one appliance for toast, baking and air frying; buy the Ninja if you mostly air fry and want a big, easy-to-clean basket. Owners praise the Ninja's crisp results and simple controls; the Cuisinart draws mixed notes on evenness and takes more counter space.

• Choose the Cuisinart TOA-70 if you want one countertop appliance that toasts, bakes, grills and air fries, and you have the room for a tall oven.
• Choose the Ninja Air Fryer Max XL if air frying is your main job and you want a large nonstick basket that goes in the dishwasher.
