TL;DR
Owners broadly like the Cuisinart TOA-60 for its versatility, doing air-frying, toasting, and baking well enough that many stop using their regular oven, and several got many years of service out of it. The big caveat is reliability: a couple of owners reported electrical failures, including one unit that caught fire after years of use, so it's worth keeping an eye on it. A few also found it harder to clean than a basket-style air fryer.
62% of 16 verified owners recommend the Cuisinart TOA-60, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.

“I have [the bigger multi-function](https://www.target.com/p/cuisinart-air-fryer-toaster-oven-toa-60tg/-/A-53760593) version, and I can't recommend it and the oven style enough.”

“It air fires and also bakes and toasts. I air fry meat and veggies all the time with it. Sometimes I will toast a sandwich and it's toppings or my wife will bake 3 or so cookies so they are fresh out of the oven she wants them. I use it for just about everything.”

“You can use it for air frying (made a 3 pound roast chicken in 35m last night - cooked in 2 halves all at once, crisp and delicious) and traditional toaster oven uses. I have this one- it's great.”
