#ad · Prices pulled live from the Amazon Product API, last checked Jul 20, 2026. Where we have no verified live price we show none — we would rather leave a gap than print a number that has gone stale. The wattage column is what the manufacturer publishes; “not published” means exactly that, and we have not estimated one. Scores are ours, compiled from published specifications, and are not test results.

The case for the unremarkable oven

Most countertop ovens fail in small, annoying ways: a capacitive panel that stops reading, a preset that overshoots, a door that racks. The TOA-70 avoids the common ones by not reaching for much. It is a full 1,800-watt convection oven with physical controls — dials rather than a glass panel — which is the part of a countertop oven most likely to outlast everything else. It sits in the price band where the marginal dollar still buys interior room rather than presets, and it does the eight things on its dial without fuss.

The documentation gap, stated plainly

Here is the honest weakness, and it is one this site cares about more than most: Cuisinart publishes no spec page for this model on its own website. The 1,800-watt figure we report comes from the brand's Amazon listing copy, not a manual or a rating plate — which is why the running-cost card treats it as brand-supplied rather than manual-verified, and why this oven scores low on our documentation metric despite being perfectly good hardware. If being able to look up what you bought matters to you, that is a fair reason to choose the fully specified Panasonic or a Breville instead.

Who it is for

The person who wants a capable air fryer oven, does not want to spend Breville money, and values knobs that will not die before the elements do. It will not thrill anyone and it will not let anyone down, which for an appliance you use every day is most of what you want.

The full spec

The middle of the market, done plainly

Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven, 8-in-1 (TOA-70)

Rated power:1800 W Functions:8

No manufacturer spec page found

7.3/10

A competent 1,800 W convection oven with a dial-and-display interface and no particular ambition, at a price that sits exactly between the budget tier and the Brevilles. Nothing here is remarkable, which for a countertop oven is closer to a compliment than it sounds.

Power: 9.5
Usable space: 7.5
Footprint: 7.5
Documentation: 4
Value: 8

What it gets right

1,800 W puts it on level terms with ovens costing twice as much for anything time-based
Physical controls rather than a capacitive panel, which is the part of a countertop oven most likely to fail first
Sits in the price band where the marginal dollar still buys interior room rather than presets

What it doesn't

Cuisinart publishes no spec page for this model — the wattage comes from listing copy, not a manual
No published interior volume or temperature range
Eight functions, several of which are the same heat profile relabeled

What it costs to run

About 33.9¢ an hour at full draw, or $61.86 a year at 30 minutes a day, 365 days a year and 18.83¢ per kWh.

1,800 W ÷ 1000 × 182.5 h × 18.83¢ = $61.86

1800 W as stated in Cuisinart's own listing copy. Cuisinart does not publish a spec sheet for this model on its own site, so this figure is brand-supplied rather than manual-verified. This is an upper bound: the elements cycle off once the cavity is at temperature, and no manufacturer publishes a duty cycle, so we compute at full rated draw rather than invent a correction factor. The full method is published.

Skip this if…

…you want to be able to check the specification against a manufacturer document before buying — for this model there is not one, and that is a reasonable thing to refuse.

How we picked

Ovens we claim to have cooked in: 0

Everyone in this category tells you they roasted forty chickens. We have roasted none, and we say so. Here is what we do instead: read the manufacturer's manual and spec sheet, record the published wattage, interior volume, temperature range and warranty term, work out what the oven costs to run for an hour and for a year, show the arithmetic so you can redo it with your own electricity rate, and cite all of it. Where a brand publishes no wattage, we print no running cost rather than borrowing a number from a similar model. Prices come live from Amazon's API and disappear rather than go stale.

The scores above are judgments from that documented research — not test results. One of the five metrics is Documentation: whether the manufacturer will tell you what its oven draws at all. The full rubric, including what disqualifies an oven, is published in full.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is the Cuisinart TOA-70 a good air fryer toaster oven?

Yes — it is a competent 1,800-watt convection oven with durable physical controls, sitting in the middle of the market. Its main weakness is documentation: Cuisinart publishes no spec page for it, so some figures come from listing copy rather than a manual. As hardware it is solid; as a paper trail it is thin.

Does the Cuisinart TOA-70 have real physical controls?

Yes, it uses dials rather than a capacitive touch panel. That is a durability advantage — the touch panel is often the first thing to fail on a countertop oven — and one of the reasons to prefer it in its price band.
