I would keep a toaster if that’s what you mainly use unless you have a larger family and want to do multiple slices at once. For air fry and air roast and other things this is awesome. Very efficient and heats fast. I love it! For just toasting something quick it takes more steps than a toaster though. You have a lower crumb tray and it’s easy to clean plus the flip up feature allows more counter space while not in use.
