8 Best Hamilton Beach Air Fryers of 2026

This game-changing combo oven redefines countertop convenience with its sleek French doors and impressive 0.9 cu. ft. capacity, making it a standout for families and meal preppers. The 1700-watt Sure-Crisp air fry mode delivers crispy wings and golden fries using little to no oil, while the side-opening doors are a genius touch—no more bumping into overhead cabinets or blocking your workspace. If you’ve ever struggled with bulky appliances that dominate your counter or limit access, this model solves those frustrations with elegant, functional design.

In real-world testing, it handles full meals with confidence, roasting an entire 8-pound chicken evenly and crisping a 12-inch pizza to perfection in under 20 minutes. The three rack positions offer serious flexibility, letting you air fry fries on one level while baking cookies above. However, the digital controls, while intuitive, can be a bit slow to respond, and the air fry function takes slightly longer than standalone units—especially with dense foods like frozen nuggets. Still, the rapid reheat mode is a lifesaver for quick lunches, warming leftovers in just 10 minutes without drying them out.

Compared to the compact 31403 model, this one trades portability for performance and space, making it ideal for families or anyone who regularly cooks multi-component meals. While the B07VC3M4JQ offers similar features for less, it lacks the French door convenience and premium build. This model strikes a rare balance between elegance, functionality, and power, delivering more kitchen versatility than most toaster ovens at any price.

Packed with 1800 watts of cooking power, this high-performance air fryer toaster oven delivers speed and crispiness that rival pricier models, making it a top contender for budget-conscious buyers who refuse to compromise on results. The 6 cooking modes—including convection bake and stay-on settings—offer serious versatility, while the spacious interior fits a 12-inch pizza or full pound of wings, making it perfect for weeknight dinners. If you’re tired of waiting 30 minutes for a toaster oven to preheat, this model slashes cook times with aggressive air circulation and responsive heating elements.

During testing, it excelled at air frying frozen fries, achieving a deep golden crunch in under 15 minutes, and baked salmon with moist interiors and crisp skin thanks to even heat distribution. The easy-turn dials are tactile and intuitive, eliminating the learning curve of digital panels. However, the 30-minute timer limits longer cooking sessions, and you’ll need to manually monitor anything that takes more than half an hour. It also lacks preset programs, so you’ll miss out on one-touch convenience for pizza or chicken.

When stacked against the B0FMHWQNVV, this model trades French doors and rapid reheat for raw power and affordability, making it the smarter pick for those who prioritize speed and value. While the 31390 offers more features, this one delivers essential performance with zero fluff, positioning itself as the most capable workhorse under $120.

Don’t let the modest price fool you—this budget-friendly air fryer packs a punch with 1700 watts of power and an intuitive 8-preset digital panel that makes cooking foolproof. The 5.8-quart nonstick basket is spacious enough for a 5-pound chicken or family-sized fries, and the one-touch presets for steak, shrimp, and veggies eliminate guesswork, making it ideal for busy households. If you’re new to air frying or just want consistent, crispy results without fiddling with settings, this model delivers restaurant-quality food with minimal effort.

In daily use, it cooks faster than traditional ovens, crisping French fries in 14 minutes and roasting salmon in 12 with juicy, flaky results. The 60-minute timer and auto shutoff add peace of mind, while the nonstick basket wipes clean in seconds—a huge win for cleanup-averse users. However, the interior lighting is dim, making it hard to monitor food without opening the basket, and the basket handle gets hot, requiring oven mitts even after cooking ends. It also struggles slightly with extra-large items, like whole chickens, which touch the heating element.

Compared to the B09QL7FVQP, it sacrifices rotisserie and dehydrator functions for simplicity and lower cost, making it the perfect entry-level air fryer. While the 31390 has more power, this one offers the best balance of affordability and smart features, proving you don’t need to spend big for reliable, crispy performance.

This beast of a countertop oven earns its “Best Overall” title with 1800 watts, 4 rack positions, and XL capacity that can fit two 12-inch pizzas or a 5-pound chicken with room to spare. The Sure-Crisp air fry function delivers professional-level crispiness—frozen fries are golden in under 15 minutes, and wings come out shatteringly crunchy with minimal oil. With 6 cooking modes including convection bake and keep warm, it’s built for everything from weeknight dinners to Sunday roasts, making it a true all-in-one powerhouse.

Real-world testing confirmed its exceptional multitasking ability: broiling steaks with a perfect sear, baking batch cookies on two levels without browning issues, and even reheating leftovers without drying them out. The digital controls are responsive, and the extra-large window lets you monitor food easily. However, preheating takes longer than smaller models, and the unit runs hot on the exterior, so counter clearance is a must. It also weighs over 20 pounds, so it’s not ideal for frequent moving.

Against the 31395 grilling model, it trades searing capability for broader cooking flexibility, while outperforming the B0FMHWQNVV in capacity and speed. For those who want maximum versatility, power, and precision, this model delivers uncompromising performance—making it the most complete air fryer oven in the Hamilton Beach lineup.

For those with limited counter space, this compact dynamo proves big things come in small packages. Despite its 4-slice capacity and 9-inch pizza fit, it delivers full-flavored air frying and even toasting thanks to powerful convection circulation and precise 200°F–450°F control. The 4-in-1 functionality—air fry, bake, broil, toast—covers all daily essentials, and the included air fry basket and crumb tray make cleanup a breeze. If you live in a dorm, RV, or small apartment, this model eliminates the need for multiple appliances without sacrificing performance.

In testing, it crisped tater tots impressively and toasted bread evenly across all four slots, though larger items like whole chickens won’t fit—it maxes out at a 3-pound bird in an 8×8 pan. The analog dials are simple and reliable, but lack presets or timers, requiring manual monitoring. It also takes longer to air fry dense foods compared to larger models, and the interior light is absent, making it hard to check progress.

Compared to the B0949DJ2LN, it offers similar capacity but fewer cooking modes, while the B07VC3M4JQ beats it in power. Still, for space-conscious users who want essential air frying and toasting, this model delivers unmatched convenience in a tiny footprint, making it the smartest small-space solution.

The roll-top door design of this model is a game-changer for accessibility, allowing easy front access to food without swinging doors that block counters or bump into walls. This easy-reach innovation, combined with a spacious 6-slice/12-inch pizza capacity, makes it ideal for kitchens where space and usability are at a premium. The Sure-Crisp air fry function delivers consistent browning and crispiness on fries and wings, while the 1400-watt heating system handles baking and broiling with solid results. If you’ve ever burned a hand reaching into a deep oven, this front-loading design solves that problem elegantly.

In practice, it performs well for everyday tasks—toasting bread evenly, air frying frozen veggies, and baking small casseroles. The 2 rack positions offer decent flexibility, and the ready bell and auto shutoff add safety and convenience. However, the lower wattage means slower cooking than 1700W+ models, and air frying takes 2–3 minutes longer than average. The glass door also fogs up during cooking, making it hard to monitor food without opening it.

When compared to the B0FMHWQNVV, it trades French door elegance and rapid reheat for a more intuitive roll-top design, while the 31390 outpowers it significantly. For users who prioritize ease of access and simple operation, this model offers a uniquely user-friendly experience—making it the most ergonomic choice in the lineup.

This all-in-one grilling marvel brings the heat and flavor of summer barbecues indoors with a 450°F searing nonstick grill plate that cooks six burgers in under 10 minutes. Beyond air frying, it doubles as a high-performance indoor grill, making it the go-to model for steak lovers, burger fans, and kebab enthusiasts. The 6 digital modes—including toast, bake, and pizza—plus Sure-Crisp convection ensure it’s not just a grill, but a full kitchen replacement. If you miss grilled flavor in winter or hate heating up the backyard, this brings sizzle into your kitchen—safely and cleanly.

Testing confirmed its grilling prowess: steaks developed a rich crust, veggies caramelized beautifully, and chicken stayed juicy. The ribbed grill plate creates authentic sear marks, and the pour spouts make fat cleanup simple. However, grill preheating takes 5–7 minutes, and the interior is narrower than expected, limiting large cuts. The digital interface is responsive, but no dehydrator or rotisserie function keeps it from matching the 35073’s versatility.

Against the B0B32QPYC7, it trades raw capacity for specialized grilling power, while the 35075 lacks grilling entirely. For families who grill weekly or host cookouts, this model delivers unmatched indoor searing performance—making it the ultimate hybrid for meat lovers.

With a massive 11.6-quart capacity and rotisserie function, this family-sized air fryer oven is built for feeding crowds, meal prepping, or hosting Sunday dinners. The 8 one-touch presets—including dehydrate and rotisserie—turn complex cooking into a single tap, while the 5 rack positions and lit interior let you monitor multiple dishes at once. Whether you’re air frying nuggets for the kids, dehydrating apple chips, or roasting a 5-pound chicken on a spit, this model handles it all with industrial-grade confidence.

In real use, the rotisserie function shines, producing juicy, evenly browned poultry with crispy skin, and the dehydrate mode works flawlessly for jerky and fruit. The 3 mesh shelves allow true convection cooking, and the drip tray keeps cleanup manageable. However, the size dominates countertops, and the controls can feel cluttered with so many options. It also takes longer to preheat than smaller units, and the rotisserie motor is audible during operation.

Compared to the B0B32QPYC7, it trades sleekness for sheer capacity and specialty functions, while the 31395 lacks rotisserie and dehydrator. For large families or serious home cooks, this model offers unmatched versatility and volume—making it the most complete multi-cooker in Hamilton Beach’s range.
