BLACK+DECKER French Door 12‑in‑1
$20 under your budget

■ The catch — co-equal billing, always
No lab ranked its heating. It earns its spot on features and price, not measured even-baking — RTINGS, Consumer Reports and Food Network rank the pricier Breville and Ninja, not this budget French-door.
Dealbreaker? Step up to the under-250 Ninja DT201, which the labs did rank ↓

Runners-up — if your needs differ
Adjacent verdicts — same method
Traps — this verdict avoids
Combo isn't crispness
RTINGS tested 11 air-fry toaster ovens and found dedicated basket air fryers still crisp faster and more evenly. A combo buys capacity and versatility — not peak crisp.
Preset inflation
A 24-preset oven isn't more capable than a 13-function one — makers mix true cooking modes with one-touch presets, and wattage has converged at 1,700-1,800W. Judge heating-element layout, not the headline count.
Counter-depth surprise
XL and French-door units (26-32 QT) run 16-20+ inches deep and their exteriors get hot. Measure the counter and leave cabinet and backsplash clearance before buying.
