   I have tested out baking, air frying, toasting, dehydration on this unit. What I can say is the dehydration worked great. The toasting, baking and air frying if you do their default settings will come out dark to a little over done. Doesn’t matter if it is on top or bottom shelf while cooking… I am slowly learning the temp and times to get this the way we like it. While cooking steam comes out in the left side of the door. I can see where people complain about knob, is plastic and feels cheap. Over all I am enjoying it, but question if it is either cooking/toasting/ air frying at a higher temperature causing the darkness or if it is just the time them default to, but I have use less time and still get darkness, more well done… I will run more tests and see what happens. So kept wondering while food is darker. Well did a bake temperature test at ready, 5 minutes in and 10 minutes in. See photos, it runs hotter then set temperature. So, you will have to decided temperature setting or time setting for whatever you are cooking. Toast, I leave the default except the shade, I go down one shade. So 3-4 slices at shade 3. Good luck.

   Replacement for smaller model. This one is digital. A bit trickier to program but same results.

   I have been using an Oster 1300W convection bake oven. I was very happy with its convection bake but wanted to replace it with an air fryer / oven unit. I purchased both the Ninja SP101 and this Cuisinart. I cooked the same items in all the ovens at once to perform a direct comparison. I Initially purchased just the Ninja but noticed a significant bake performance downgrade from the Oster it was replacing so added this Cuisinart to the competition. Convection bake: Frozen French bread pizza at 400F. The Cuisinart cooked it perfectly at 6 minutes. The Oster came in second with a perfect pizza after 13 minutes. The Ninja came in last with a disappointing bake after 16 minutes. Air fryer: Frozen chicken nuggets sprayed with olive oil at 400F The Cuisinart created a perfect crisp set of nuggets after 9 minutes. The Ninja created a very good crisp after 14 minutes. Both did an excellent job at air fry, but the Cuisinart crisp was slightly better and it cooked much quicker. So this Cuisinart oven wins by a mile. The Ninja is still a good air fryer if you never touch the Cuisinart. Notes: I ruled out the more expensive Breville due to its low quality air fry and unacceptably slow preheat time. I purchased the Ninja first since it is compact and has a fold up feature to free up some counter space when not in use. That feature is somewhat of a gimmick since you have to lift and move the entire unit to store it. The Cuisinart is significantly taller at 14” vs 8” for the Ninja and 12” for the Oster.

   I bought this a replacement for a 5 yr old Breville oven that was starting to bake a little low temperature-wise. The Cuisinart had many attractive features, the interior light was especially nice. Ability to air fry was nice but not a necessity as I already have 2 Cosori air fryers. The price too was better than the Breville so I ordered the Cuisinart. It looks very nice and sleek, but the control menu was confusing and not intuitive at all. The owners manual did little to explain how to use the different functions. You just have to practice with it. I tried it for toast as well as on a pkg of Pepperidge Farm frozen pastry turnovers. I put the machines side by side with identical foods and selected the same temp and time and was absolutely amazed at the outcomes. Scared actually! The Cuisinart baked waaaaay hotter… toast was browner on the medium setting than in the Breville. Ok, that’s acceptable and easily adjusted for. The pasty tho….. both ovens were set to bake at the recommended package directions, 425 for 20-25 minutes and the temp was tested with an oven thermometer placed in each oven. The Breville reached a temp of about 410 degrees and was browned at 20 minutes. The Cuisinart reached over 500 degrees and the pastry was charred black before 15 minutes. I was concerned it might flame up so I turned both ovens off at 20 minutes. I’m glad I remained in the kitchen while I was testing the ovens….it could have been very unfortunate. The Breville also has a self-ejecting oven rack which is much heavier and 2” wider than the Cuisinart’s rack. The Cuisinart rack is lighter weight and pulling it out I burned myself on the top of the oven cavity….the Breville has more interior height from the rack to the top. I didn’t dare try the air fry setting, or broil or anything else on the Cuisinart TOA-065. Seemed like there could be a potential safety hazard when the oven baked nearly 100 degrees hotter than it was set for. I didn’t want to chance it. Thankfully it was still within the return period. We boxed the Cuisinart up and sent it back to cuisinartoutlets.com. I have since read of others that had similar issues with this oven cooking way too hot. Apparently I got a lemon. I’m so grateful for cuisinartoutlets.com’s free return policy! So easy, I dropped it off at UPS and my cuisinartoutlets.com gift card balance was credited within 30 minutes! If/when my old Breville does eventually die, I’ll be replacing it with another Breville!!! Maybe one with a light inside next time.

   For a small appliance that costs almost as much as an inexpensive full-size stove, I have to say this has pretty much replaced our oven. With only two of us to cook for, this is the perfect size. This replaces a $100 air fryer. That thing frustrated us because it was too small. It might have sufficed for a single person, but two or more people need more space.

   As an air fryer it is excellent. If we had a full-size convection oven, we wouldn’t need this. We are planning to use this in our camper. Between this, a stovetop, and a microwave we are pretty much set.

   Love this AF- specifically model Toa-65. I researched for a super long time before purchasing my 1st AF. I’m going to start with cons first because that’s probably what you’re after. Do note, however, that the pros outweigh the cons 🙂 Cons: – Could be bigger or have more racks. However, I do understand that even if it had more racks they wouldn’t all be able to airfry very well at once because in order to achieve the “fry”, the food needs to be very close to heating elements AND the main convection fan- which can really only happen on 1 shelf at a time. This is obviously why many airfryers only have 1 shelf or 1 basket. – It would be nice if the basket & tray could be bigger, but if they did that, the unit would be huge and it’s already big. Overall, this isn’t an issue and it holds more than I expected it to, as you can see from my photos. The roasted chicken was a fresh 2 pack of whole chickens from Costco, to give you an idea of bird size. – Cleaning. Overall, it’s not a big deal. Air fryers are going to be dirty and I accepted that immediately. I don’t fret over keeping it sparkling. You should know that you’ll need to unplug it and clean it once in a while. Bacon grease especially, gets stuck to the fan & ceiling, & over time it smells when it’s being used as a result. So unplug it, tip it & clean it once in a while. This is a bit of a job. – The knob and dial were not intuitive & threw me for a loop for about a day. Once I realized that 95% of the time, I just spin the wheel, push it, spin, push it, push it (push = select/enter) & hit “Start”, I was good to go. I almost always set the time & temp this way- by only using the knob and entering it manually. The pre set buttons are nice and we do use the “Air Fry” button, but generally just the wheel. You very quickly learn that most cooking is done at either 350 or 375 & for only a few minutes. Pros: – Stainless Steel!!! 👏🏻 I don’t want plastic or teflon in my food! This was super important to me because air fryers are HOT and no one needs more chemical carcinogenic junk in their food or air!! – fast. easy to use. After a day or 2 of getting used to it, it’s SO FAST to use. It’s made my cooking time in the kitchen LESS, easier, cooler, & simpler. Less work. Less clean up. No hot oven heating up the house!! – it’s plenty big and I’m super glad I didn’t buy a smaller one. I cook a lot and I almost always cook for leftovers. – Paleo/AIP/Whole30 Dream machine! – Cooks really well. You can bake, hard boil eggs, air fry, roast, dehydrate, proof bread, reheat, toast, bagels, brown, broil, pizza, warm & set a dual-cook. It’s an all-in-one! I’ve even made a poached egg in a ramekin!! (just for fun) – Doesn’t smoke. I am always reading about other AF’s (other brands, shapes, styles) smoking. I have not experienced that at all with this model. – Cooks hot & fast. This is a pro, but at first feels like a con because you have to WATCH CAREFULLY!! – This machine cooks hotter than expected. Turn it down 25° less than you want to, or less than a recipe calls for!! Most of the time I cook at 350-375. Rarely 400 and when that temp is used, it’s BRIEF- just to “finish” or “crunch”, or brown something. Most of the time 375 AF is sufficient. – I’ve heard customer service is excellent, which was also a selling point for me. I haven’t had to use it. – Join the Cuisinart TOA-65 Facebook group once you purchase it! Newbie Tip! * Start at 350 Air Fry. Set the timer for 3 minutes at a time. Turn on the light and check your food. Repeat until it’s desired doneness. Seems silly but this is how you will learn and you’ll catch on fast! If you want it more fried, turn the temp up to 375, 2 minutes. Watch. Repeat. Need more? Try 400, 2-3 minutes. * Buy a few cans of spray/spritz avocado oil. Costco now has a 2 pack, cuisinartoutlets.com has plenty, and all the health stores. I wouldn’t personally use coconut oil, I think it will be too heavy and smoky. Olive oil works, but isn’t great for you at high temps & doesn’t brown as well as avocado. * Do NOT just toss some food in there and turn it to 375 or 400, 10 minutes your first time or IT WILL BURN and you will be disappointed. Invest the time to babysit it and get a good feel for the temps & settings. * Toast- We like our Canyon GF toast on “Toast- Shade 7- 1-2 slices”. You can also air fry toast! Put butter on it first- yum! * Fresh cut french fries- best if you soak them in salt water ahead of time, strain, rinse, and dry well. THEN toss in a bowl w/ spritz’s of avocado oil & seasonings. Wet fresh sliced potatoes don’t make good french fries, regardless of what appliance you use. – Make some sweet potato hashbrowns and thank me later! Overall, LOVE IT. It’s a bit more expensive but totally worth it!!

   roasted a chicken in 40 minutes and it was perfect. Keep checking the cook times for frozen items as I’ve found they cooked in half or less the time suggested.

   I enjoy this toaster/fryer and have had it for over a year. I’ve heard of complaints that the cord gets super hot but mine stays perfectly cool. It sits under a cabinet on my counter top and have also not felt any unnecessary heat in that around surrounding it. It toasts bread fine, fries up what I put in there fine, and works at it should. I’ve made hamburgers in there as well as a steak. The only negative I found was that it is 25 degrees cooler than what it should be when you set a temperature. I only found this out when I put an oven thermometer in when cooking something. Once I adjust for that, things cook/fry well.

    Loved it for the first two years! Runs a little hot when used as an oven, but was great as a toaster and air fryer. Unfortunately, the control knobs are so loose now that it’s close to impossible to choose the settings. Very frustrating, especially for the price and lack of longevity.
