Microwave Toaster Oven Air Fryer Combo: Does It Exist, and What It Can't Toast

People hope one box can replace three. It nearly can, in one case, but the toast part is where the promise gets thin.

Galanz

Galanz ToastWave

A true combo that also toasts, with heaters on the top, bottom and back, says Galanz.

Why it fits here: The one combo we found whose brand names microwave, air fryer, convection and toaster together, with a toast program for up to 6 slices.

Best for: deep counters where one box should microwave, air-fry and toast

Size as stated by

Sister model. Size from Galanz's sheet for the GTWHG12S1SA10A; this listing names the GTWHG12S1SA10 and states 21 in deep.

• Toast for 1 to 6 slices and a bagel program, says Galanz's product sheet
• Top, bottom and back heaters, says Galanz
• 1000 W inverter microwave and 1.2 cu ft, says Galanz

• 22.25 in deep on Galanz's sheet and 21 in on the listing, so it leaves little counter free
• The sheet names the GTWHG12S1SA10A and the listing the GTWHG12S1SA10, so check the model number
• Space it needs not confirmed from a manual we read

How does each one handle toast?

What can't a combo do like a toaster?

• Brown both sides at once, on top-heater models. Panasonic's heaters sit at the top and its manual says to turn broiled food over after half the time. Galanz lists a bottom element too. How even the result is, we can't say.
• Hold many slices in the usual shape. Bread lies flat on a rack, which limits how many fit. Galanz lists a 12 3/5 in turntable and a 10 5/8 in air fry kit. We found no statement of which holds its 6 slices.
• Toast in microwave mode. Microwave mode doesn't give you toast.
• Show numbers. Good Housekeeping's lab toasts bread in the combos it reviews, but the article we read publishes no scores. We found no controlled toast comparison.

What are the models like?

• Galanz ToastWave (our pick). Galanz's sheet lists 1.2 cu ft, a 1000 W inverter microwave (one that holds its power steady) with 10 power levels, and programs for toast, bagel, broil, air fry, bake, pizza and warm. It includes an air fry kit, a silicone mat and a nonstick turntable, with a one-year warranty. The catches: the sheet gives 21.25 × 22.25 × 12.57 in, while the listing says 21 in deep. On a 24 in counter, 22.25 in leaves about 1.75 in in front, before the door opens. The sheet names the GTWHG12S1SA10A, with a final A, while the listing names the GTWHG12S1SA10. We couldn't read its manual, so check both before you buy. Mid-range class. See our Galanz page.
• Panasonic HomeChef. The listing names the NN-CV87QS, and we read the manual for its sister model, the NN-CD87. It says Broil 1 suits toasting bread, muffins and teacakes, on the wire rack on the enamel tray. It can toast, but as a broiler job, not a program. It needs headroom: 13.5 in plus 6 in on top is 19.5 in, so check your manual and don't block the vents. Premium class.
• Combi Wave plus toaster bundle. The bundle^* title says microwave, air fryer and toaster oven. Read on, and the listing describes a Breville Combi Wave and a Cuisinart CPT-180P1 slot toaster with 1.5 in wide slots for 4 slices. That is a fair way to get real toast if you know you're buying two appliances with two footprints. We only have listing data for the bundle. Microwave output is 1100 W per an excerpt of Breville's US manual. See our Breville Combi Wave page: it needs 12 in above and 8 in to adjacent walls.
• Toshiba ML2-EC10SA. Toshiba's page names no toast function. The Toshiba^* is for people who'd be happier with a low 1.0 cu ft combo and a toaster they already own. It is 11.8 in tall per Toshiba.

Many results for this search are air fryer toaster ovens, which can't microwave. The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro states toast for 9 slices and 13 functions, in a body 21.4 × 17.3 × 12.7 in. If you already own a microwave, that kind of appliance may suit you better. See lookalikes that are not microwaves and a combo versus a toaster oven.

What should I check before I buy?

• Toast in the brand's own mode list. "Toaster" in a listing title isn't proof.
• Depth. These run deep. Measure from the wall to the counter edge with our size guide.
• Clearance. Toasting and broiling mean a hot top. See the clearance figures by model.
• Crumbs. Built-up grease and food can cause smoke, per Panasonic. Plan on wiping.
• The model number. Galanz suffixes differ, so compare the listing with the sheet.

Mistakes to avoid: buying a bundle as if it were one machine, buying an air fryer toaster oven as a microwave replacement, and expecting slot-toaster results.

What should I buy?

If you truly want one box to microwave, air-fry and toast, and your counter is deep enough, buy the Galanz ToastWave^*. If you make toast every morning, keep a separate toaster. Our brand overview shows who else sells what.
