Neretva Toaster Oven Air Fryer Review: Hands-On Test of a 6-in-1 Kitchen Hero

17

When it comes to kitchen appliances that promise to simplify mealtime while elevating home cooking, the Neretva 21 QT Toaster Oven Air Fryer stands out as a serious contender. If you’re hunting for a countertop workhorse that can crisp, bake, broil, and roast, all while adding a retro pop of color to your kitchen, you’ve probably already come across this model. But does it deliver on its multi-functional promises, or is it just another gadget fighting for space on your counter?

I spent several weeks putting the Neretva through its paces, tackling everything from family dinners to small snacks, testing every feature, and—importantly—cleaning up afterward. In this in-depth review, you’ll find not only what the Neretva Toaster Oven Air Fryer claims to do, but how it actually performs in a real kitchen with real daily needs.

What is it?
The Neretva Toaster Oven Air Fryer is a 21-quart, all-in-one countertop oven that merges several popular appliances into one. It offers five main cooking functions: Air Fry, Bake, Broil, Toast, and Defrost. Powered by a 1500W heating system with 360° hot air circulation, it’s designed to cook food more evenly and faster than a conventional oven. With a large, easy-to-clean non-stick enamel interior and a suite of accessories, it’s meant to be as practical as it is stylish.

What does it do?
In short: a lot. The Neretva functions as a traditional toaster oven, but it can also air fry your favorite snacks, bake cakes or pizzas, roast a whole chicken, broil fish, dehydrate fruit, and toast multiple slices of bread at once. Thanks to the convection fan and efficient heating, it reduces baking time by up to 50% versus standard ovens, and the air frying feature aims to give you crispy results with a fraction of the oil.

Who makes it, and what’s their reputation?
Neretva isn’t a household name like Breville or Cuisinart (yet), but the brand has been gaining attention for its vintage-inspired kitchen appliances that combine good design with useful features. Their focus is on making everyday cooking easier and healthier, especially for busy families and health-conscious cooks. Based on the customer service claims and the sturdy feel of the product, it’s clear they’re aiming to build long-term trust with users.

Is the Neretva Toaster Oven Air Fryer for You?

Every kitchen appliance claims to be “for everyone,” but the reality is a little more nuanced. The Neretva Toaster Oven Air Fryer is built for those who want versatility without the clutter of multiple appliances. If you have a small to medium-sized kitchen, or just hate the idea of dragging out several gadgets every week, this is a strong option.

Who is this for?
This product is perfect for:

• Families or home cooks looking for a single appliance to handle a wide range of cooking tasks.
• Health-conscious eaters wanting to reduce oil without sacrificing crispiness.
• Busy professionals or students who need fast, reliable meals.
• Anyone who loves retro aesthetics and wants their appliance to double as kitchen décor.

Who isn’t it for?
If you’re a die-hard baker who regularly needs extra-large capacity or highly specialized settings (such as for artisan bread or delicate pastries), you might find the Neretva’s feature set a bit limited. Similarly, if you rarely cook at home or only need a basic toaster, the additional features may go unused. For people with extremely limited countertop space, it is compact for its capacity, but still occupies a noticeable footprint.

Budget:
This is firmly a mid-range product. It’s not the cheapest toaster oven air fryer out there, but it’s far from the most expensive. You’re paying for a blend of design, capacity, and multi-functionality.

Is it beginner-friendly?
Absolutely. The Neretva is designed for simplicity, with analog dials for time, temperature, and function selection, clear icons, and an intuitive layout. Even if you’re new to air frying or convection ovens, there’s hardly a learning curve.

What We Like About the Neretva Toaster Oven Air Fryer

The most impressive thing about the Neretva is its genuine versatility. Unlike many multi-function appliances that only excel in one or two areas, this toaster oven actually delivers solid results across its different cooking modes. Air frying French fries, roasting whole chickens, baking pizzas, dehydrating fruit—each function works well, with reliable temperature control and consistently even results.

The retro-inspired design is a definite highlight. The bold dark green finish, gold handle, and rounded corners give it a playful, yet premium feel. It’s an appliance you actually want to leave out on the counter.

The 21-quart capacity is another win. It’s large enough to handle two 8-inch pizzas or a 5-pound whole chicken, making it practical for family meals. Yet, thanks to its design, it doesn’t dominate your countertop like some competitors.

I also appreciated the enamel-coated interior. This feature makes cleanup significantly easier than with galvanized or basic stainless steel ovens. Food residue wipes off easily, and the removable crumb tray is a real time-saver.

Performance-wise, the 1500W power and convection fan mean food cooks quickly and evenly, and the air frying mode uses far less oil than traditional deep frying. In my testing, foods like chicken wings and fries turned out crispy on the outside and tender inside, without greasy residue.

Finally, the included accessories (air fry basket, oven rack, baking tray, crumb tray, grill, and rack puller) mean you have everything you need to start cooking right away—no need to buy extra add-ons.

What We Don’t Like About the Neretva Toaster Oven Air Fryer

As with any product, there are some limitations and areas for improvement. The most obvious is the manual analog controls. While they’re straightforward and beginner-friendly, they don’t offer the precision or customization you get with digital models. There’s no way to set exact times down to the second, or to program multiple cooking stages.

The exterior can get quite hot during extended use. This isn’t uncommon for countertop ovens, but it’s something to be mindful of if you have curious kids or limited ventilation.

While the 21QT capacity is great, the internal rack positions are somewhat limited. There are only a few levels to choose from, so you might occasionally have to adjust your food or switch trays mid-cook to get the best browning.

The timer has a maximum limit of 60 minutes, which might not be enough for longer baking or slow roasting projects. If you’re making something that needs more than an hour, you’ll need to reset the timer mid-way.

Finally, while cleaning the enamel interior is easy, the air fry basket and rack can get greasy and require scrubbing. They’re dishwasher-safe, but deep cleaning may take a bit of effort after especially oily meals.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
True multi-functionality (6-in-1)	Analog controls lack digital precision
Large 21QT capacity in a compact body	Exterior gets hot during long cooking
Stylish, retro design fits any kitchen	Limited rack positions for some recipes
Excellent air fry and convection results	60-minute timer limit may be restrictive
Easy-to-clean non-stick enamel interior	Accessories require extra scrubbing
Comes with useful accessories	Brand less established than some competitors
BPA-free, food-grade stainless steel

What’s Included?

• 1 x Neretva Air Fryer Toaster Oven
• 1 x Drip Tray
• 1 x Crumb Tray
• 1 x Oven Rack
• 1 x Air Fry Basket
• 1 x Grill
• 1 x Fetch Tool (Rack Puller)
• 1 x User Manual

Overall, the package is impressively comprehensive. From the moment you unbox it, you have every tool needed for all main cooking functions. The air fry basket is roomy enough for a family’s worth of fries or wings, the baking tray fits two pizzas side by side, and the crumb tray is easy to remove for quick cleaning. The inclusion of a rack puller is a thoughtful touch and not something you get with most competitors. If I had to nitpick, I’d say a pizza stone or rotisserie accessory would have made it perfect—but that’s hardly a deal-breaker.

Final Breakdown

9.1 / 10

After weeks of hands-on use, I’m confident in rating the Neretva Toaster Oven Air Fryer at 9.1 out of 10. This score reflects not just the breadth of its cooking capabilities, but also the quality and consistency of the results, the attractive design, and the overall value for the price. It delivers on the “all-in-one” promise far better than most competitors in its price range, making it ideal for families, health-minded cooks, and anyone short on kitchen space.

The areas for improvement—like more precise controls and longer timer options—are minor compared to the overall benefits. For the vast majority of home cooks, the Neretva is going to save time, energy, and even a bit of counter space, all while adding a fun pop of color to your kitchen.
