Our Place
Yahoo’s Kristin Granero awarded this snazzy appliance the title of best air fryer toaster, calling it “an expert at multitasking, hitting the sweet spot in our testing for size, price and function.” She adds, “It has a 12-liter capacity that supports four slices of toast, 1 pound of french fries or a 9-inch pizza, and a 4.5-pound chicken with only the bottom tray in place. It also performs six duties: air-frying, baking, toasting, broiling, reheating and roasting, with the option to infuse steam, for different texture preferences and appetites.”
Our Place doesn’t often have sales this good, so take advantage of this $46 discount while you can.

You can’t write an air fryer roundup without including a Ninja, and what sets this unit apart from the rest is its clever two-basket design. That means you can cook veggies on one side and your protein of choice on the other — and at the same time.
We rarely see it dip lower than it is now, so our advice? Add it to your cart, stat.
