Best Microwave and Convection Oven Combo Listings Rate One Half

1. Ninja Crispi Microwave and Air Fryer with FusionCrisp, MW101 — Best Overall

The one listing that rates both halves of the machine separately and gives a top temperature, from a model released less than three months before capture.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the only listing that rates each half of the machine in one plain line. “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS: 1 Year Warranty; Microwave Input Power: 1000 Watts; Convection/Air Fry Input Power: 1700 Watts.” Two modes, two numbers, both labelled as input. The Breville gives three figures but contradicts one of them; the Frigidaire gives three but does not say what two of them mean. Seven of the ten give nothing for the oven side at all.

It is also one of two that give a top temperature. “Up to 450°F of superheated cyclonic air.” The Commercial Chef states the same 450°F; nobody else states any. A top figure matters on a combo because convection recipes are written in degrees, and a machine that will not say how hot it goes leaves you guessing whether a 425°F tray of potatoes is in range. Here you know it is.

The 1700 watts is benchmarked against Ninja, not against the field. The listing says it has “The power* and performance of a 1700-watt Ninja air fryer”, and the footnote reads “Based on MW101 air fryer wattage vs. FN101”. So the claim is that the element draws what one of Ninja’s own air fryers draws. The “Up to 60% faster than a conventional oven” for FusionCrisp is measured against an unnamed oven; we cannot check either claim.

The gaps are on the microwave side and the size. A 1000-watt input does not tell you the output, which is the figure most microwave recipes and frozen-food packets assume, and output is always the lower of the two. Nor is there a cubic-foot figure. In its place the listing says the flatbed design gives “40% more* usable cooking space” against “0.9-cu-ft turntable microwave”, and that it will “Fit a 9"x11" baking dish”. A rectangular dish on a flat floor is a real advantage over a round turntable, but it is not a number you can line up against the Toshiba’s 1.5 cu ft.

The air fryer is tied to its own glass. The 5.5-qt glassware is stated to be “100% PFAS, PTFE, and PFOA free” and dishwasher safe, but “For Air Fry and FusionCrisp functions, use only the Ninja Crispi Microwave Glassware included with this unit.” If that dish breaks, the air fryer waits for a replacement.

The record and the costs. 4.6 across 150 ratings is the highest average on the page and one of the smallest samples; the release date field reads 16 July 2026, so it is a new machine with 1K+ bought in the past month. It is the tallest here at 14.1 inches and the heaviest at a stated 50.04 lb. It sits below its list price, and costs just a little less than the Toshiba OptiChef PRO MAX, which states nothing for its oven side.

Best for: A kitchen that wants one box to replace a microwave and an air fryer, and wants the air fryer’s power and top temperature stated.

2. Breville BMO870BSS Combi Wave 3-in-1 — Most Power Figures

The dearest machine here prints three separate power ratings, more than any other listing, and then gives a second, different figure for one of them.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

No other listing on this page rates as many parts of the machine. The warranty bullet carries the spec sheet: “Microwave Input Power: 1200 Watts; Convection Input Power: 1400 Watts; Grill Input Power: 1100 Watts; Voltage: 120 Volts; Capacity: 1.1 cu.ft/32L”. It is the only listing here that gives the grill element its own figure.

Then it contradicts itself. The Element IQ bullet ends “Power: 1200 W – Convection Input Power”. So the convection element is 1400 watts in one place and 1200 in another. The 1200 matches the microwave input exactly, which may mean it was copied from the wrong line, but the listing does not say, and we will not guess. Either way, the Breville’s convection figure is lower than the Frigidaire’s stated 1500W and the Ninja’s 1700W input, on a machine that sits at a far higher price than the Frigidaire.

The microwave is the selling point. Breville calls it a “POWER SMOOTHING INVERTER” that will “Automatically adjust intensity and deliver smooth, even power”. In general, an inverter delivers low settings as a steady low output rather than switching full power on and off, which is why Breville sells it on defrosting “without overheating or drying out edges”. Smart Cook, Smart Reheat and Smart Defrost make up “19 built-in smart presets”. Again, the output wattage is not given; 1200 is the input.

The combination modes are spelled out. “Fast Combi, which combines Convection Oven, Grilling and Microwave”, plus “Cook From Frozen”. The settings include “Turntable Off”, which the listing names but does not explain, and a shortcuts panel inside the door. The box contains a Combi Crisp Pan and a trivet, and nothing called an air fry basket.

What you pay for it. The “80% quieter soft close door” and “50% quieter” operation come with no baseline and no decibel figure. It is the dearest machine here, above the Ninja. The record is 3.9 across 918 ratings, the joint lowest average on the page with the GE, and it ranks #20 in Convection Ovens with 200+ bought last month. No top temperature is stated. The listed weight is lighter than every other machine here by more than 8 lb despite one of the larger footprints, so we would not plan around it; the outside measures 20.47 inches wide, 20.08 deep and 12.6 high. The warranty is one year, the same as the budget Frigidaire.

Best for: A buyer who values an inverter microwave and a rated grill over a high convection wattage, and will pay for it.

3. FRIGIDAIRE 1.2 cu ft Microwave, Digital Air Fryer, Convection Oven, Combo-Fry, EMW1220AMZ — Best Value

The cheapest machine on the page states a 1500-watt convection figure; the OptiChef, the 1.5 cu ft Toshiba and the GE state none.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the cheapest machine here, and one of only three that put a wattage on the oven side. The last bullet reads “Powerful Cooking Performance: 900W Microwave, 1000W Oven,1500W Convection”. The Toshiba OptiChef PRO MAX, the Toshiba 1.5 cu ft and the GE do not give a convection figure at all. On paper, the least expensive combo on the page tells you more about its convection element than machines that sit far above it.

The figures need reading carefully, because there are four of them. Besides the 900, 1000 and 1500, the defrost bullet ends “1000W power”. So the microwave is 900 watts in one place and the machine is 1000 watts in another. The most natural reading is a 900-watt microwave output and some other 1000-watt figure, perhaps an input or the bake element, but the listing does not say. Nor does it say what separates “1000W Oven” from “1500W Convection”. We report all four numbers and treat 1500W as the convection figure, because that is what the listing calls it.

The functions are the standard set. “BAKE, ROAST, MICROWAVE, CONVECTION OVEN”, plus an air fryer claiming “Up to 70% less fat than traditional frying methods”, a general claim about air frying, not a measurement of this machine. There are 10 power levels, defrost by time or weight, and five one-touch menus. At 1.2 cu ft it sits mid-page for capacity.

What it leaves out. No accessories are listed: no rack, no air fry basket, no crisper pan. A convection microwave needs something to lift food off the floor so air can reach underneath it, so check the box contents before you buy. No turntable size is given, and no top temperature. The manufacturer field reads “CURTIS INTERNATIONAL LTD” rather than Frigidaire, and the release date field reads 2019, the oldest stated on the page.

The record is modest and the stock was low. 4.1 across 418 ratings, the same average as the Toshiba 1.0 cu ft on a third of the sample. It ranks #8 in Convection Ovens, the best category rank among the three machines here that Amazon files there, and 600+ were bought last month. At capture the listing read “Only 11 left in stock – order soon”, so check the price and seller on the day. It is wide, at 21.25 inches, and weighs a stated 42.0 lb.

Best for: A buyer who wants a convection microwave with a rated element at the lowest price on the page, and will confirm what is in the box.

4. Commercial Chef 5-in-1 Countertop Microwave Air Fryer Combo, CHMF9BG — Temperature Stated

The only listing besides the Ninja to state a top temperature, 450°F, and it gives no wattage of any kind.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This listing gives the number most others skip, and skips the one most others give. The first bullet says the “Compact microwave allows air frying up to 450°F”. Only the Ninja matches that with a stated temperature. But nowhere in the title, bullets or spec table is there a wattage, for the microwave or for anything else. It offers “10 power levels” without saying what the top one is, so cooking times on frozen-food packets, usually written for a stated wattage, become trial and error.

It is the shortest machine here and one of the narrowest. 11.1 inches high and 19.0 wide, with a stated weight of 34.0 lb. That suits a small worktop or a shelf under wall cupboards. The cavity is stainless steel, the exterior black, and the door has a pull handle with a “2-step child lock”. The box includes “an air fry kit and baking pan”, which is more than the Frigidaire, Toshiba 1.0 cu ft or BLACK+DECKER listings promise. Presets cover popcorn, potato, beverage, reheat and frozen dinner.

Check the model number when it arrives. The title says “CHMF9BG”; the model and part number fields both say “CHMF9GB”. Probably a transposed pair of letters, but match it against the box. Nothing in the listing says the machine is rated for commercial use.

The record is decent and the sales are thin. 4.2 across 791 ratings is the joint third-highest average here, behind the Sharp’s two-rating 5.0 and the Ninja’s 4.6. But the rank, #170,009 overall and #150 in Countertop Microwave Ovens, is the weakest on the page by a wide margin, no bought-in-past-month figure is shown, and at capture there were “Only 12 left in stock”. It sits at almost the same level as the Toshiba 1.0 cu ft, which states its microwave power in both input and output but no temperature. One gives you the oven’s ceiling; the other gives you the microwave’s strength. Neither gives you both.

Best for: A small kitchen that wants a compact air-fry microwave with a stated 450°F ceiling, and can work out microwave times by trial.

5. TOSHIBA Air Fryer Combo Microwave, 1.0 Cu.Ft, ML2-EC10SA(BS)A — Best Seller

The best-ranked machine on the page states its microwave power more clearly than anyone, and its oven power not at all.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

More people are buying this combo than any other on the page. It ranks #89 across all of Amazon and #2 in Countertop Microwave Ovens, and 1K+ were bought in the past month. The next best rank here is the BLACK+DECKER at #367. It sits below its list price and almost exactly in the middle of the page on price.

Its microwave figure is the clearest on the page. “Microwave output power 1000 watts, input power 1600 watts.” Only this listing and its OptiChef sibling label both numbers. Output is what reaches the food; input is what the machine draws from the socket. Here the output is 62.5% of the input, which is in the range you would expect for a conventional microwave. A 1000-watt output is also the figure many frozen-food packets are written for, so cooking times on the box should be close to right.

The oven side gets one word, in brackets. The functions are listed as “microwave, air fry, bake(convection), broil (grill), combi., low temp., odor removal, defrost”. That is the only appearance of convection in the listing, and no wattage, temperature or range is attached to the air fryer, the bake mode or the grill. A broil or grill mode suggests a top element, but that is a reading of the word, not a stated spec.

The size claims are specific. The “12.4inch removable turntable can fit a whole roasted chicken, 12 inch pizza and 8*4 inch casserole”. A 12-inch pizza on a 12.4-inch turntable leaves very little margin, so check the height and shape of the tray you plan to use. The outside measures 20.6 inches wide, 16.4 deep and 11.8 high, and it weighs a stated 39.2 lb. No accessories are listed: no rack, no basket. Check what comes in the box.

The child lock is mandatory. The first bullet says the “Two-Step Child Lock” is a “mandatory safety feature” and asks you to “open the machine according to the steps shown in the figure”. If a two-step door would annoy you daily, check the manual first. The record is 4.1 across 1,222 ratings. The warranty is “1 Year Limited”.

Best for: A buyer who wants the combo most people are choosing right now, with a well-labelled 1000-watt microwave and an unrated oven side.

6. TOSHIBA OptiChef PRO MAX Air Fryer Combo Microwave Oven, 1.3 Cu.Ft, 1100W — Highest Microwave Output

The highest stated microwave output on the page, 1100W, from a listing that never once uses the word convection.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is a convection microwave whose listing will not say so. The air-fry bullet reads “ChefFry Plus: Features a top fan and heating element that replicates an air fryer oven, allowing for healthier cooking options.” A fan blowing air across a heating element is convection by definition, and an air fryer is a compact, fast-fan form of convection oven. So the machine almost certainly does what the other nine do. But the word convection appears nowhere in the title or the five bullets, and it is the only listing here of which that is true. If you search or filter for convection microwaves, this one may not appear, and if you are comparing oven sides, it gives you nothing to compare: no wattage for the element, no temperature, no range.

The microwave is the strongest stated on the page. “Delivers 1100W of output power”, 50 watts above the GE’s unlabelled 1,050 and 100 above the Toshiba 1.0 cu ft’s output. It also has the largest stated pizza, “a 13-inch pizza or a whole chicken”, in a 1.3 cu ft cavity, and a “2.4-inch colorful screen” that no other listing offers.

The input figure is odd, and worth confirming. The same sentence gives “1250 input power”, with no unit. Taken as watts, that puts output at 88% of input. Its own Toshiba sibling states 1000 out of 1600, or 62.5%. The listing credits an “Origin Inverter” with reducing “cooking time and energy consumption”, but it gives no figure for either, and a gap that narrow would be unusual for any microwave. It may be a typo, or a figure for a different mode; check the rating plate. A “Humidity Sensor”, which in general reads the steam coming off food, suits reheating more than crisping.

The price is the problem. Down from its list price, it is the second most expensive machine here and costs far more than its Toshiba 1.0 cu ft sibling, which names its convection mode and ranks #89 overall against this one’s #17,827. It costs a little more than the Ninja, which rates its air fryer at 1700W input and 450°F. The record is 4.2 across 250 ratings, and no weight or accessories are listed.

Best for: A buyer who wants the strongest stated microwave output and a sensor-led reheating machine, with air fry as a secondary feature.

7. GE 4-in-1 Air Fry Countertop Microwave Oven, 1050 Watt, 1.0 Cu. Ft., GCST10A1WWW — Clearances Stated

The only listing that tells you how much space to leave around the machine, and the clearest map of which accessory goes with which mode.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the only listing on the page that says how much air the machine needs around it. “Allow 3 inches of clearance on each side and above, 1 inch at the rear, and keep the bottom fully unobstructed for proper airflow and best performance.” That matters more on a combo than on a plain microwave. A convection or air-fry mode runs a heating element for the length of a bake, the cabinet gets warm, and the vents have to breathe. Nine listings leave you to find the figures in a manual. GE puts them on the page.

It also says which rack does which job. The box includes a “Stainless steel crisper pan for air frying, tall wire rack for broiling, short wire rack for convection”. That is the clearest mode-to-accessory map here. The convection bullet explains why the rack exists: it “uses a wire rack to let hot air circulate evenly around food”. The broil bullet calls it “a microwave with a broiler right inside”. Four modes, three accessories, each one named against its mode. Compare the Frigidaire and Toshiba 1.0 cu ft listings, which name no accessories at all.

The power figure is labelled loosely. “1,050 Watts of cooking power”. Cooking power usually means output, but the listing does not use either word, and it gives no figure for the convection, air-fry or broil elements, and no temperature. “Whisper-quiet performance” comes with no decibel figure.

Two sets of dimensions disagree. The first bullet says it “Measures: 13.98" W x 9.49" H x 13.23" D”. The spec table gives about 19.4 inches wide, 20.5 long and 12.0 high. The smaller set is most likely the cavity, but the listing does not say so. Plan with the larger set; add GE’s clearances and you need roughly 25.4 inches of width and 15 of height.

The record is the weakest of the well-known names. 3.9 across 1,609 ratings, the joint lowest average here with the Breville. It ranks #6,657 overall, with 100+ bought last month. The warranty is a “1-Year Replacement”. It is white, weighs a stated 34.8 lb, and sits below its list price.

Best for: A buyer fitting a combo into a tight space who wants clearances and accessory roles spelled out.

8. TOSHIBA 4-in-1 Countertop Microwave Oven with Air Fryer, 1.5 Cu.Ft, ML-EC42P(BS) — Largest Capacity

The biggest cavity and turntable on the page, a long rating record, and a combination mode it actually defines.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the largest machine on the page, by every measure it gives. 1.5 cu ft, against 1.3 for the OptiChef and 0.9 to 1.2 for everyone else that states a figure. A “13.6inch removable turntable”, the widest stated. It is also the deepest at 20.0 inches in the bullet, and the second-heaviest at a stated 45.5 lb, after the Ninja. If capacity is the one thing that matters, this is where it is.

It says plainly what its combination mode combines. “combination cooking (microwave plus convection)”. The Toshiba 1.0 cu ft lists “combi.” with no explanation, and the BLACK+DECKER’s “combi (grill/convection)” does not mention the microwave; only this listing and the Breville’s Fast Combi spell out that the magnetron and the element work together. Combination cooking is the main practical case for a convection microwave: the magnetron heats the inside while the element browns the outside. The listing adds auto bake, auto roast and defrost menus and a sensor menu.

As with most of the page, the convection side is not rated. The microwave is “1000 watts microwave power with 10 power settings”, without saying input or output. The convection and air fry modes have no wattage and no temperature. The box does include a “Grill Rack” and a “Grill Tray”, though grilling is not among the four functions listed.

A bigger turntable does not buy a bigger pizza here. Despite 13.6 inches of turntable, the stated pizza is still 12 inches, the same as the Toshiba 1.0 cu ft. The dimensions also conflict: the bullet gives 21.8 wide, 20.0 deep and 12.9 high; the spec table gives 21.38 wide and 21.77 long. Plan for the larger depth.

It is an established design with a long record. The release date field reads 22 September 2020; only the Frigidaire’s, 2019, is older. 4.0 across 3,551 ratings is the second-largest sample on the page and the most dependable of the averages after the BLACK+DECKER’s possibly shared one. 300+ were bought last month. It has multistage cooking and a mute, engaged by holding the 8 key for 3-5 seconds. It is the dearest machine below the premium tier.

Best for: A family that needs the largest cavity on the page and plans to use combination cooking.

9. BLACK+DECKER 5-in-1 Microwave Oven Air Fryer Combo, 0.9 Cu.Ft, 900W, ES9P032NA — Most Ratings, Read With Care

Nearly three-quarters of all the ratings on this page sit on one compact machine, and its listing says the least about the oven side of any big seller here.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This listing shows more ratings than the other nine combined, more than twice over. 4.2 across 22,993. The other nine together hold 8,911. On the numbers alone it looks like the safest choice on the page, and it sits below its list price and is the second cheapest.

Read that count with care. The listing’s release date field reads 9 March 2025, about nineteen months before capture. In that time it has gathered 22,993 ratings, while the Toshiba 1.0 cu ft, which ranks higher overall (#89 against #367) and so is currently selling faster, shows 1,222. That is nearly nineteen times the ratings on a machine that sells less. Amazon often shares one rating pool across variants grouped on a product page, so some of these may belong to other BLACK+DECKER microwaves; we cannot tell from the data. Treat the 4.2 as a signal about the family, and read the reviews that mention air frying.

The oven side is barely described. The microwave is “900-watt output”, clearly labelled, with 10 cooking levels. The five functions are “microwave, air fryer, combi (grill/convection), bake, and roast”. Convection appears only inside the brackets of the combi mode. The listing does not say whether bake and roast use convection, does not give the element a wattage, and gives no temperature. It is a 900-watt microwave with an air fryer attached, and the listing tells you a great deal more about the first part than the second.

What it does spell out is presets. “11 preset air fry menus”, from frozen French fries to spring rolls, and “7 auto menus” for the microwave. For a buyer who mostly air fries frozen food, presets may matter more than a wattage.

It is the shallowest machine here. 14.5 inches deep, 19.5 wide and 11.4 high. That suits a narrow worktop or a shelf. At 0.9 cu ft it shares the smallest stated cavity with two others, and no turntable size or accessories are given, so check whether an air fry basket or rack is included before relying on that function. No weight is listed. 1K+ were bought last month, and it ranks #4 in Countertop Microwave Ovens. For a little more, the Frigidaire offers a rated 1500W convection element and 1.2 cu ft, on a far smaller record.

Best for: A buyer with a shallow worktop who mainly air fries frozen food from presets, and accepts that the rating count may be shared.

10. Sharp SMC0985KS 3-in-1 Convection Air Fry Microwave Oven — Fewest Ratings

A well-equipped compact combo from a long-standing microwave maker, with no power figures of any kind and two ratings behind it.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

The perfect score is two people. 5.0 across 2 ratings. That is not a measurement of anything. The listing ranks #48,136 overall and #24 in Convection Ovens, with 50+ bought last month, and no delivery estimate was shown at capture. Sharp has long made microwaves, but this model has no track record yet, and the score should be read as blank.

It is the only listing that states no figure at all for power or temperature. No microwave wattage, no input or output, no convection or air-fry wattage, no top temperature. The Commercial Chef also skips wattage but at least states 450°F. The title promises a “3-in-1 Convection Air Fry Microwave Oven”, and the first bullet calls it a “TRUE 3-IN-1 OVEN”, but nothing tells you how strong any of the three are. Check the rating plate or the manual before buying if you need to plan cooking times.

What it does well, on paper, is sequencing. “MULTI-STAGE COOKING: Accommodates up to three functions in a single seamless operation, allowing you to defrost, cook, and crisp your food without any interruptions.” That is the clearest description on the page of using both halves of a combo together, and the auto defrost bullet says it “can be combined with cooking and crisping stages all in one operation”. For a frozen chicken breast or a tray of frozen wings, defrost, cook and crisp in one programme is the case for a combo in one sentence.

The accessories are the most cleaning-friendly stated. A “dishwasher-safe air fry basket” and a baking/roasting pan, a stainless steel interior and LED lighting. Only the Ninja also states its air fry vessel is dishwasher safe. The turntable, though, is “10.6 in. glass Carousel”, the smallest stated on the page, and smaller than the 12-inch pizza the two Toshibas name. A 10-inch frozen pizza is a safer bet.

The rest. 0.9 cu ft, 19.6 inches wide, 15.77 deep and 11.38 high. The spec table gives the model as “ZSMC0985KS” against the title’s SMC0985KS; match it against the box. It sits just above the BLACK+DECKER and just below the Toshiba 1.0 cu ft, both of which state their microwave wattage.

Best for: An early adopter who wants defrost, cook and crisp in one programme and is happy to wait for the reviews to catch up.
