I love how versatile it is; I can toast, bake, broil, and air fry all in one appliance. The digital display is user-friendly and makes setting the temperature and timer a breeze. The oven heats up quickly and cooks food evenly.
Overall, this oven has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen, making meal prep easier and more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2025Size: 0.6 cu ft. interiorVerified PurchaseIt’s expensive, yes. But it’s worth it. Had it almost 2 years now and we use this all the time. We only use the oven when we cook something that won’t fit in here. We also use for our toasting. Bit large but if you have the space it’s amazing.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2020Size: 0.6 cu ft. interiorVerified PurchaseLove 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, amazon 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!!

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.

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, amazon 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!!

- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020Size: 0.6 cu ft. interiorVerified PurchaseI 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.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2025Size: 0.6 cu ft. interiorVerified PurchaseSo I purchased this unit in November 2000. It worked well for about 2 1/2 years. In the summer of 23, the control knob started to malfunction. When you clicked it, it wouldn’t select what you wanted and would often move to other selections. I contacted Cuisinart and they sent me a brand new one in September 2022, as my 3 year warranty was still valid. In October 2024, the control knob on the new unit began to malfunction. I contacted them and they informed me that they could not replace it because the 3 year warranty started in November 2020 on my old unit. That is appalling and very disappointing to me. How can you only stand by your product for about 12 months! They offered me a 20% off coupon and I told them that I would not purchase another Cuisinart product. It works great until the control breaks, but they keep making a faulty unit!! Look at other poor reviews and other consumers are having the same problem. Buyer beware!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent quality and operation
Size: 0.95 cu ft. interiorVerified PurchaseFor 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.

Size: 0.6 cu ft. interiorVerified PurchaseEste hornito de fácil uso, ha facilitado mis recetas de repostería en la cocina, no me ha llegado más en el recibo de luz, por lo que doblemente estoy satisfecha.
Ya casi no uso el horno convencional.

Size: 0.6 cu ft. interiorVerified Purchaseroasted 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.
