Choose a model with at least a 26‑quart (or 4‑liter) interior, which comfortably fits a full 12‑inch pizza plus a rack for vegetables or a tray for wings. Units like the Emeril Lagasse 26‑qt French‑door combo and the Romswi 26‑qt oven provide this space, while smaller 6‑qt models may require cutting the pizza to fit. Larger capacities also give you flexibility for family meals and entertaining.

Pizza‑focused ovens such as the Gourmia Indoor Pizza Oven reach up to 800°F and can bake a 12‑inch pizza in as little as 2 minutes, thanks to dual heating elements and FryForce technology. Standard air fryers like the EDENPEER 6‑qt model typically need 8‑10 minutes for a pizza, using a single heat source. If speed is a priority, the dedicated pizza ovens win, while multi‑function air fryers offer more versatility at a slightly slower pace.

Extra‑large units often include premium features such as rotisserie kits, multiple cooking presets, and larger interior volumes that eliminate the need for multiple batches. This can save time and energy for families that cook frequently, making the higher upfront cost a good value over time. However, if you only cook for one or two people, a mid‑size 11‑qt model like the Roaaee may provide sufficient capacity at a lower price.

The EDENPEER 6‑qt and the Romswi 4.5‑qt both list 11‑in‑1 functionality, covering baking, grilling, dehydrating, and even pizza‑specific presets. The 32‑qt combo from the 19‑in‑1 toaster oven adds rotisserie, proofing, and a dual‑cook function, making it the most feature‑rich option. If you want a single appliance to replace several kitchen gadgets, look for models with at least 10 preset functions.

A clear window and interior light let you monitor the crust’s color and cheese melt without opening the door, which helps maintain temperature and prevents uneven cooking. Models like the EDENPEER and Gourmia include wide‑angle windows, while some French‑door ovens rely on a simple interior light. For precise pizza results, a viewing window is a valuable convenience.

Most units come with a standard basket or rack that can accommodate a 12‑inch pizza, but the Emeril Lagasse and Romswi models include a dedicated pizza pan or interior rack designed for even airflow. The Gourmia pizza oven adds a cordierite stone for a pizzeria‑style crust. If you prefer a specific accessory like a stone or a perforated pan, check the product description before purchasing.

Noise can vary widely; the Typhur Dome 2 advertises a quiet 55 dB operation, which is comparable to a normal conversation. Larger units with dual fans, such as the 32‑qt combo, may be louder due to higher airflow. If a quiet kitchen is important, prioritize models that highlight low‑decibel ratings in their specs.

Most toaster‑oven combos feature removable, dishwasher‑safe accessories like crumb trays and racks, simplifying cleanup. The Gourmia pizza oven’s stone requires hand‑washing, while the Typhur Dome 2 offers a self‑cleaning function that reduces manual effort. Look for models that list dishwasher‑safe parts if easy maintenance is a priority.
