Cooking Capacity

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

6.8 Mixed Usage

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.

Pros
  • Preheats quickly.

  • Cooks food quickly with 'Air Fry' mode.

  • Makes good toast.

  • Decent capacity.

Cons
  • Doesn't maintain a stable temperature.

  • Browns and crisps food somewhat unevenly.

7.8 Leftovers

The Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven (TOA-60) is okay for reheating. It preheats quickly, and its elements heat evenly. However, the temperature inside the oven isn't very stable, and it tends to run hot, which can lead to your food drying out before it's heated through.

Pros
  • Preheats quickly.

  • Decent capacity.

Cons
  • Often overshoots temperature setting.

5.5 Baking

The Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven (TOA-60) has disappointing temperature stability. It doesn't maintain a stable temperature during cooking, and its actual temperature is often much higher than your selected setting. 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.

Pros
  • Temperature inside cooking chamber is uniform.

Cons
  • Doesn't maintain a stable temperature.

  • Often overshoots temperature setting.

7.3 Air Frying

The Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven (TOA-60) is decent for air frying. Its cooking chamber is quite spacious, and it comes with a mesh air frying basket, which helps evenly crisp foods like French fries or Brussels sprouts. It cooks food quickly with 'Air Fry' mode. However, it doesn't have the most powerful fan and tends to overcook parts of your food while a significant proportion is still undercooked.

Pros
  • Cooks food quickly with 'Air Fry' mode.

  • Mesh air fry basket included.

Cons
  • Browns and crisps food somewhat unevenly.

7.6 Toasting

The Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven (TOA-60) is good for toasting. It makes evenly browned toast, although one side browns a bit faster. Compared to a good slot toaster, it's a bit slow. Still, it's reasonably fast, especially if you use its full six-slice capacity.

Pros
  • Makes good toast.

Cons
  • Top of the bread toasts faster than the bottom.

7.1 Cooking Capacity

The Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven (TOA-60) has a decent cooking capacity. It's a medium-sized toaster oven that can fit the average frozen pizza and smaller cookware like a six-cup muffin tin. However, it won't fit a 9" x 13" baking sheet and has less vertical space in its cooking chamber than some similar ovens.

Pros
  • Decent capacity.

Cons
  • 6.8 Mixed Usage
  • 7.8 Leftovers

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

The Cuisinart Air Fryer TOA-60 comes in 'Black Stainless,' 'Stainless Steel,' and 'White' color variants. We tested it in 'Stainless Steel,' and here's a picture of our unit's label.

If you encounter another variant, let us know in the comments, and we'll update our review.

Compared To Other Toaster Ovens

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

It toasts somewhat slowly. Most good four-slice slot toasters can make four pieces of toast faster, but it's a decently efficient way to make six slices at once.

    Hi KabuTheFox, ASUS has a product page for the booster with language suggesting they plan to sell it separately. Still, it doesn’t seem widely available anywhere in North America yet. We did find a couple of Singaporean retailers that have it on sale already, but we’ll be waiting to purchase it until it’s in stock in NA. https://dynacoretech.com/parts-and-accessories/peripherals-and-accessories/asus-rog-polling-rate-booster-adapter-for-mouse-and-keyboard-true-8k-hz-wireless-polling-rate-rog-speednova https://www.lazada.sg/products/asus-rog-polling-rate-booster-true-8000-hz-wireless-polling-rates-i3133808219.html

    Do we know if Asus is going to sell it separately? It’s marketed to work on more devices but when I asked Asus they didn’t really have an answer to when/if it’ll be sold separately Seems awfully strange

    Hi KabuTheFox,

    ASUS has a product page for the booster with language suggesting they plan to sell it separately. Still, it doesn’t seem widely available anywhere in North America yet. We did find a couple of Singaporean retailers that have it on sale already, but we’ll be waiting to purchase it until it’s in stock in NA.

    I think we will see them in stock when they release the Harpe Ace Mini globally, only a small amount of retailers in Europe have the Harpe Ace Mini for sale at the moment, not yet here in Australia or America.

    You can use the polling rate booster from the Keris II Ace, just update the booster’s firmware

    Hello mitlonginus, Thanks for catching that! You’re right, the ASUS ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition can achieve 8000Hz with the ASUS ROG Polling Rate Booster adapter. We’re currently working on getting one so we can test it out and update our review with the new performance results. We appreciate your patience, and we’re excited to see how it performs with the boost.

    Now this mouse supports 8k polling rate wired and 2.4g wireless while using the polling rate accelarator that included in e.g. keris II. This can, of course, be the case because aimpoint 36k is an upgraded version of paw 3395, which supports 8k polling rate as we have seen in many other mice.
