TOA-26 vs. TOA-70
I ordered this compact Cuisinart as well as the larger model (TOA-70). Comparing with the larger model, the compact one: - Doesn’t have the grill feature - Doesn’t have a built-in timer for any of the features except for toasting - Doesn’t have an interior light - Isn’t stainless steel on the sides and top; it only is on the front However, I absolutely love it and went with the compact one. Here’s why: - Despite being “compact”, it has plenty of room inside. More room than my barrel-style air fryer! - It air fries as well as my barrel air fryer, which I’ll be selling soon because I’m trying to get away from cooking with nonstick and this is all stainless steel inside. - It also toasts as well and as quickly as the toaster oven I’ve had for 10 years. Some reviews stated this takes a long time to toast but they may be comparing it with a regular toaster, not a toaster oven. I haven’t used the other features yet as I mainly needed these two. - The main reason I really like this one over the larger model is because you can almost fully pull out the rack you’re cooking on without it falling down. The larger model was annoying with that because pulling the rack about halfway out meant it would fall. You would need to remove the rack entirely in order to flip food over or to take it out when it was done. - No timer: I don’t care about that because I just set a timer on the microwave like I’d do if I were baking something in the oven (this is technically a countertop oven after all). Many reviewers are upset there’s no auto-off for anything except the toasting, but ovens don’t turn off on their own. When the timer goes off I check on the food and turn the dial to off. Not a problem at all. - No light: At first I thought I’d miss the interior light, but my barrel air fryer doesn’t have one either, I just open the door and look in. Haven’t missed it. I am really disappointed that, unlike the larger model, the compact one doesn’t have stainless steel sides and top. It makes it look cheaper than the other one. A work around: I put it in the corner of my counter so you can’t see the sides as much. Despite this being an important miss to me, I love this toaster oven/ air fryer enough to overlook that.

Door broken after only 2 months
This is probably the best air fryer I've used, and I have 4 of them. It heats up my food the best out of all of them. Maybe it's the more compact size causing it to be more efficient inside? I don't know, but whatever it is, it crisps up my food in the totally right way. The size is great too, very nice and compact, and looks attractive. Here's why the low scores (NOTE: Originally this was a 1 star review): 1. The basket. The metal weave is brutal on your fingers, I've cut myself more than once on the very wiry basket. 2. The door. IT'S BROKEN. When the door closes, it pushes in a little pin, which causes the oven to turn on. Well, randomly, as its cooking, the door opens just a touch, causing the pin to pop out a bit, turning the oven off. I have to shove a trivet at the door to keep it closed (see photo). This is NOT GOOD. And no, nothing "happened" to it, I didn't bump it, drop it, slam it, or anything else to make this happen. Very frustrating. I've only been using this oven for 2 months, and the door has now not worked for 2 weeks. So, of course, I've already thrown out the box, I'm out of the return window.... really not happy with it ESPECIALLY because it cooks really well. UPDATE: Upon reading some other reviews, I called the Cuisinart helpline and, yeah, they have sent me a replacement oven. They REALLY stand by their products, I love that! They very reasonably asked me to make my current oven non-operant and to send them evidence of that, and once I did so, they immediately processed a new shipment. So now I'll have to go try my new one. Thanks, Cuisinart! I changed this review to 5 stars for now. I will retry the new oven and see how it goes.

Practical and good size
Recommend - practical and good size for a small kitchen and household of 2-4. Does not take up lots of space on the countertop. It does its job, and the top of the oven does not get hot.
