Air fryer vs toaster oven: which one for a small kitchen?

If you only have room for one appliance, don’t buy both.

Compact air fryer

• Smaller footprint
• Faster for everyday meals
• Noise and a basket to wash

Toaster oven

• More versatile (gratins, sheet pans)
• Heavier, hotter
• Often too wide in a studio

Tiny Kitchen verdict

Studio / kitchenette: compact air fryer. Couple that really cooks: toaster oven, if the counter allows it.
