Shop the best toaster ovens by type, size, price and more. Learn how to buy a top-rated toaster oven for your needs

---

Let’s face it:

Your kitchen is incomplete without a toaster oven.

Sometime, not too long ago, toaster ovens were simply spacious toasters. Today, the best toaster ovens are actual, traditional, fully featured ovens in a compact form factor.

As terrific as that may read, it throws up a bit of inconvenience. Buying a toaster oven today isn’t as clear-cut as it once was.

There’re a lot of technobabble and marketing speak, which for most people, hardly ever appropriately answers the question—“What’s the best toaster oven for my needs?”

That’s where I come in. To make things easy for you, I have compiled a list of the best toaster ovens for the most common situations.

1. Breville Smart Oven PRO [BOV845BSS] – Editor’s Pick, Best Overall Toaster Oven

Dimensions (in): W-18.5 x D-15.8 x H-11 | Max Fit: 6 slices, 13” pizza, a whole chicken | Number of Presets: 10 | Power: 1800W | Features: Convection, Excellent Element IQ technology, Auto Shut-Off, Auto Eject, Non-Stick Interior Coating, Interior Oven Light, LCD Display

Exquisite design that screams PREMIUM and DURABLE

Gorgeous isn’t a word many would use to describe a standard toaster oven. It’d appear sarcastic at best, or downright inappropriate at worst.

But:

If you’re going to pay top dollar for a top-of-the-line model of the best toaster oven series on the planet, it may as well add to the aesthetics of your kitchen not detract from it.

The Breville Smart Oven Pro is a beaut adorned with brushed stainless steel, giving it a refined, sharp, sleek look that passes a firm message to any casual observer—‘this was not cheaply built.’

And, boy, is that an accurate message!

The Breville BOV845BSS will serve you well, and for a long time; regardless of whether you use it occasionally or every other day.

Performance that blows you away

The Breville Smart Oven Pro is the benchmark of toaster oven performance.

For starters, it employs the proprietary Element IQ technology exclusive to the Smart Oven series. Aptly named, the technology involves the use of FIVE (5) quartz heating elements that are independent and controlled smartly to deliver optimum heat to the right spots at the right time for precision cooking.

The result is outstanding. Toasts are sufficiently, evenly brown on both sides without grate marks. Roasts are succulent and crispy. Cupcakes have an even yellow shade with perfectly rounded tops, and are delectably airy and moist; especially in convection mode.

Talking about convection mode, it is one of TEN (10) pre-set cooking functions, each of which has a unique time and temperature setting suggested by the oven. The convection mode speeds cooking time by up to 30%, with terrific results. And that’s in addition to the general ultra-low preheating time of the BOV845BSS, thanks to its 1800 watts power rating.

However, should you want to take things slow, the BOV845BSS has a slow-cook function to tenderize and develop complex flavors. The slow-cook function can run for up to TEN (10) hours.

Another preset that deserves special mention is the warm function, which can keep your food warm for up to TWO (2) hours.

The Breville Smart Oven Pro isn’t smart in name only. It actually remembers your selections for easy replication next time and it has temperature conversion functions.

And it has ample room to perform all of its functions exceptionally. You could

• bake a cake in it,
• broil a handful of steaks,
• stick a 13-inch pizza in it,
• fit in a 3.5-quart Dutch oven with a lid or a 5-quart Dutch oven with a foil; or
• roast a whole chicken with it

Oh, and the top is designed to function as a plate warmer.

Unparalleled functionalities in a complete package

The Breville Smart Oven Pro BOV845BSS muffles the competition with its complete range of vital features. It includes all the bells and whistles that you’d expect a premium toaster oven to have, and then some more.

• Its digital backlit LCD display presents characters that are legible to read and the soft blue or orange backlight is easy on the eyes. Providing an easy and intuitive way to select or set preferred functions or controls.
• Complementing the LCD display are clearly marked buttons, dials, and very importantly, a visual guide on the glass door indicating the optimal position to place the wire rack for each cooking function.
• The Smart Oven Pro has the best implementation of the convection add-on feature on a toaster oven, as you can turn the convection fan on or off at any time. Unlike other models that limit the use of convection to baking.
• After you finish with the settings, place your food in the oven, and it is operational; the replaceable internal halogen light illuminates your food for improved visibility through the glass door. This allows you to keep track of the cooking process without having to open the door, take the food out, and inspect closely repeatedly.
• Once cooking is complete, open the glass door and the rack would push out automatically thanks to the auto eject It is a practical feature that makes your food easily accessible and reduces the chance of accidental burns.
• Breville pushes the frontier of safety by also including an auto shut-off Safety is a big deal, as the consequences are dire. The auto shut-off feature is that extra layer of security that prevents avoidable accidents, especially for those who are forgetful or have the scary habit of leaving food unattended.
• Still, one of the most understated features of the Smart Oven Pro is its non-stick interior coating. Cleaning is hardly ever fun for most people, but the PFOA-free ceramic coating is safe and makes maintenance a breeze.
• The icing on the cake is a trio of handy accessories— the baking, broiling, and pizza pans, which complement the standard wire rack to make for a truly comprehensive, premium purchase.

The best toaster oven in 2017: Not a contest

The Breville BOV845BSS is so terrific; it is in a class of its own. Rarely do you find a product that delivers equally and exceptionally on aesthetics, functionality, usability, and safety—the FOUR metrics that matter most for a toaster oven.

• The luxurious, remarkable build and craftsmanship will fit just as nicely as any high three-figure or four-figure appliance in any high-end kitchen.
• Its performance would make you forget to use your actual, conventional oven especially for routine baking, roasting, broiling, and reheating tasks.
• The functional, accessible, user-friendly design complete with a well-detailed, comprehensive instruction book/manual makes it a pleasure to use.
• And just as importantly, features such as auto shut-off and auto-eject are the little touches that really put it head and shoulders above the rest of the competition.

The Breville BOV845BSS Smart Oven Pro is the best toaster oven for most people and there’s no contest.

When Money Is No Object

2. Panasonic Flash Xpress [NB-G110PW] – Best Infrared Toaster Oven

Dimensions (in): W-13 x D-12 x H-10.2 | Max Fit: 4 slices, 9” pizza | Number of Presets: 6 | Power: 1300W | Features: Excellent flashXpress technology, Auto Shut-Off, Auto Eject, Non-Stick Interior Coating, Interior Oven Light, LCD Display

A unique direction

The modern toaster oven may be a better-designed, fully featured iteration of the original 20^th century toaster oven; but the mode of operation is undeniably similar.

Manufacturers have mostly stuck to the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” maxim. Toaster ovens still take time to pre-heat, a downside the microwave movement capitalized on. The convection feature may reduce overall cooking time, but it doesn’t do anything about the preheating issue.

Faced with this conundrum, Panasonic developed the flashXpress technology. It is a different take on how toaster ovens should function.

Rather than have elements heat the air in the oven; and the heated air in turn heat the food; the ceramic and quartz elements in the Panasonic Flash Xpress [NB-G110PW] transfer thermal energy via infrared directly to the food.

On paper, the difference may appear to be marginal. But in reality, the difference elicits a “Holy Smoke!” response.

It just works

Aside the name of the technology, there’s nothing really fanciful to it. No ‘smart,’ ‘next-gen,’ ‘AI,’ or some other buzzword-labeled intricacies: Just the systematic use of a type of light wave, your body also emits.

But the performance rivals and sometimes bests that of conventional toaster ovens. To start with, the flashXpress double-infrared technology eliminates the need for preheating. Infrared is a type of light wave, which means it travels very fast, way faster than hot air particles.

The implication is that it doesn’t only just provide instant heating, it cuts regular toaster oven cooking time by up to 40%. More importantly, the cooking results are remarkable—whether it is toasting, baking, reheating, or defrosting.

Toasts have a lovely golden-brown (you can adjust the browning using the toast shade selector) without uneven patches, Bagel Bites are crispy-yet-melty, it reanimates leftovers, and it defrosts food thoroughly without leaving still-frozen areas in the middle.

Features that enliven the cooking experience

The Panasonic Flash Xpress NB-G110PW is a premium toaster oven. The ‘premium’ tag comes with certain expectations, and the Flash Xpress delivers on most of them. Its prominent functionalities include:

• An easy to use touch-pad for configuring cooking settings with an LCD display timer and a pleasant reminder beep
• SIX (6) pre-set functions complemented with a 5-shade toast shade selector
• Extensive temperature range, from 250 to 500 degrees (in Fahrenheit)
• Interior oven light
• Auto-eject feature
• Auto-shutoff feature
• Non-stick interior coating
• Add-on baking tray accessory

If it is so great, why isn’t it the top pick?

Bar the Breville Smart Oven models, the Panasonic Flash Xpress doesn’t have a rival. It even contends with the Smart Oven top models with its unmatchable quick cooking speeds, excellent performance, and slew of high-end features; despite being considerably cheaper.

However, it falls short on a few aspects that may matter to some individuals.

Limited size

The Flash Xpress isn’t built to handle lots of cooking at a time. Its square inner tray can only accommodate FOUR (4) bread slices or a 9” pizza. In comparison, the Breville Mini Smart Oven BOV450XL (the smallest smart oven model) in comparison can fit an 11” pizza.

For many people though, this isn’t much of a big deal. Not everyone needs a large toaster oven (nor even have the space for on), and for this crowd an oven with a compact footprint is a MUST-HAVE.

Furthermore, the speed and exceptional performance of the Flash Xpress offers a bit (maybe more than a bit) of respite for the size limitation. It consistently gives thorough, evenly browned/cooked results, batch after batch in less time than a conventional toaster oven.

No convection

Convection has become a sort of regular feature on modern premium toaster ovens, that it seems like an odd omission on the Flash Xpress. Except that, the Panasonic NB-G110PW probably doesn’t need it.

The purpose of the convection feature in a standard toaster oven is to speed up cooking, by increasing the circulation of hot air. The Flash Xpress is already a speed demon in its own right, all thanks to the double-infrared technology. Which makes convection one feature you likely wouldn’t miss.

And there’s a practical basis for this inference.

The Frigidaire Professional Infrared Convection Toaster Oven [FPCO06D7MS] is an infrared toaster oven with the convection feature. Still, its performance pales in comparison to that of the Flash Xpress.

Not for roasting or broiling

You couldn’t get a chicken in it if you tried. And it doesn’t have a broil feature either.

Other downsides include:

• Bland aesthetics; it wouldn’t win a design award
• Lack of a dial; simply a subjective preference for folks who dislike the ritual of pushing buttons to operate a toaster oven
• Maximum cooking time of 25 minutes; you’d have to restart after it elapses
• You can only select between EIGHT (8) temperature pre-sets; for example, you can’t select 300 °F, you get either 285 °F or 320 °F but nothing between. This quirk doesn’t negatively impact performance though.
• The infrared elements make the interior unusually bright (for a toaster oven) while in operation and without the oven light turned on; more of a manageable inconvenience for some users than a dealbreaker

In spite of all these, the Flash Xpress NB-G110PW is an amazing toaster oven with a hardcore consumer following. Its exceptional performance at an affordable price point makes all its diminutive flaws seem immaterial to many users.

The Flash Xpress may not be the jack-of-all-trades of toaster ovens like the Breville Smart Oven flagship; but for the tasks it is built for, no competing toaster oven does it better—not even models that cost twice as much.

And for many users, that pretty much sums up why it is a MUST buy.

Panasonic Flash Xpress NB-G110PW versus Panasonic Flash Xpress NB-G110P: Is There Any Special Difference?

To answer the question: NO.

The NB-G110PW is the white model, while the NB-G110P is the grey model. Aside the exterior color difference, everything else about both products is the same.

3. Cuisinart Convection Microwave Oven with Grill [CMW-200] – Best Microwave Toaster Oven

Dimensions (in): W-20.5 x D-19 x H-12.5 | Turntable Diameter (in): 12.4 | Volume: 1.2 cu. ft. | Number of Presets: 9 | Power: 1000W | Features: Microwave + Convection + Grill, Automatic Multi Stage Cooking, Stainless Steel Interior, Interior Oven Light, LCD Display + Touchpad

An aesthetically pleasing design

It is hard to argue against the observation that, on average, microwaves have better designs than toaster ovens. The Cuisinart CMW-200 is one of, if not, the best-designed toaster oven on this list.

And that’s because it adheres firmly to the popular microwave design philosophy with its brushed stainless steel build, symmetric boxy design, and sleek accents.

Its attractive design extends to the interior with a 12.4” rotating glass turntable sitting at the bottom of an elegant space with complete stainless steel coating. The stainless steel coating choice isn’t all about appearance though, as it is has the desirable benefits of not absorbing odors and being easy to clean.

The best of both worlds

The Cuisinart CMW-200 is technically a convection microwave [oven]. It microwaves like any regular microwave oven. In addition, it has a heating element and a fan to function as a regular convection oven.

The best part is that both functions are independent of each other. You could use either singly (microwave popcorn or bake a cake using convection), use them together, or use them in quick succession (taking advantage of the multi stage feature).

The benefits are immense. You get the speed of a microwave for tasks like defrosting, while you get crispy, non-soggy cooking of a convection oven for tasks like roasting; without having to own two appliances.

And for a dual-purpose (actually tri-purpose, since it has a grill feature) portable oven, the cooking outcomes across the board are pleasantly surprising.

Fully spec’d out

The Cuisinart CMW-200 microwave toaster oven combo is chock-full of necessary functionalities to take advantage of its multi-purpose build.

• It has a power rating of 1000 watts (it may not be the highest on our list, but it gets the jobs done).
• It has NINE (9) presets for common cooking tasks—popcorn, potato, beverage, reheat, fresh vegetable, frozen vegetable, roast chicken, cake, and pizza (the last three presets use the convection function).
• Complementing these presets are EIGHT (8) functions that offer more control—microwave, convection, convection roast, convection fast bake, grill/combo, keep warm, defrost, and memory.
• The presets and functions offer precision in addition to control and ease of use: For example, you can press on the “popcorn” preset multiple times to indicate the appropriate weight or the “potato” preset multiple times to indicate the number of potatoes you’d place inside the oven compartment. You may also defrost by weight or by time or keep food warm at 100 °F or 150 °F.
• Get the best baking, roasting, and grilling results with the use of the reversible grill rack. The grill rack offers dual-level cooking—low or high position depending on how close you want your food to be to the heating element—simply by flipping it on its short or long legs.

• Combine any of the eight functions in a 2-3 steps procedure using the multi-stage cooking For example, you can defrost a casserole, heat it up with the microwave function, and grill it to brown the top, without having to wait to enter the functions singly. The oven beeps once to notify you when a stage is complete.
• Better still, if you use a procedure often, you can save it for quick selection later, using the memory function. You can add up to 3 procedures to the oven’s memory.Follow manufacturer’s recommendations of compatible cookware for microwave + convection combination cooking procedures.
• It has an extensive temperature range, from 100 to 425 degrees (in Fahrenheit); and allows you to increase cooking time in 30-second intervals.
• Cuisinart offers the best warranty coverage in the toaster oven industry. The CMW-200 has a THREE (3) year warranty.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

Can’t toast

No, it’s not a typo.

The Cuisinart CMW-200 can microwave, can roast, can grill, can even microwave and grill at the same time; but it wouldn’t give you same amazing toast as you’d get with the Breville Smart Oven Pro or the Panasonic Flash Xpress.

It has only one grilling element at the top (the Smart Oven Pro has 5). Combined with the convection fan, it is sufficient for grilling, roasting, baking, and other convection cooking tasks.

However, for toast, it’d at best make the bread warm and dry its surface substantially. But the result wouldn’t measure up to that of a full-fledged premium toaster oven or toaster.

If a microwave toaster oven is a must-have for you and you still desire to make perfect toasts regularly, then I advise you also purchase a quality affordable toaster.

Exact temperature selections is not possible

This is a flaw shared with the Flash Xpress. Thankfully, as with the Flash Xpress, it doesn’t negatively affect performance.

Noisy turntable

This is a highly subjective drawback. Still, it is worth noting that the CMW-200 isn’t the quietest kitchen appliance.

And while the sound it emits doesn’t seem to bother most users, it can be nerve-racking for some.

Low power

The 1000W power rating of the Cuisinart CMW-200 may appear modest. Considering that the power rating of the Smart Oven Pro is an imposing 1800W and that of the Flash Xpress is 1300W; while both have a smaller capacity than the CMW-200.

Even so, the CMW-200 holds its own in terms of performance. Certainly, it wouldn’t have hurt to add more power, but much of the complaints about the power are often directed at the convection feature. Which is fairly misguided, because convection and toaster ovens take a while to heat up in general, unlike their infrared and microwave cousins.

A powerhouse with a fitting price tag

Combo appliances have the unique ability to sound good on paper and sell prospective users on lofty propositions: Only to fall short of expectations during real-world usage.

The Cuisinart CMW-200 Convection Microwave with Grill drops this cloak by offering practical usage experience that lives up to its promise of offering a microwave and a convection toaster oven in the same package.

It looks as good as it performs; it is easy, intuitive, and pleasurable to use; it boasts a hefty load of functionalities; and its performance is satisfactory. And at a price that is considerably cheaper than our top pick—the Breville Smart Oven Pro—the CMW-200 offers exceptional value.

The CMW-200 is one of the lowest priced microwave toaster oven available that is worth its salt. Given that the Sharp R930CS, once the gold standard of convection microwaves is now discontinued and its replacement doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence, despite being at least twice as expensive as the CMW-200.

It may not toast that well, but the Flash Xpress can’t broil or roast. It is larger than both higher-ranked toaster ovens and trumps them in the warranty segment with its industry-leading THREE (3) years warranty.

It is a perfect fit for those living in tight quarters or who need its versatility for remote usage; such as in small apartments, RVs, and boats (note the clearance requirements though—3 inches at the sides and back, and 12 inches of vertical headspace).

Other Compelling Options

Samsung Power Convection Microwave Oven [MC11K7035CG] – Best Premium Microwave Toaster Oven

Samsung is a brand that needs no introduction, and the MC11K7035CG (I never really get why their naming scheme has to be so perpetually weird) is a recent refresh that aims to bring the best and latest in microwave toaster oven combo technology.

As expected, it has a premium design with a ceramic enamel interior for easy cleaning. In the functionality department, it equals and even supersedes the offering of the Cuisinart CMW-200 with its microwave, convection, grill, and slim fry combination.

It also offers Sensor Cook, Combination Cook, and Eco Mode (to reduce power when on standby).

Samsung MC11K7035CG versus Cuisinart CMW-200: It’s All About Your Budget

Performance

In a direct contest based on similar functionalities, the Samsung Power Convection Microwave Oven offers better performance. Power Convection and PowerGrill may sound like regular buzzwords meant to make you reach deeper into your wallet without offering anything tangible over the competition, but both are a step-up from the convection and grill features on the Cuisinart Convection Microwave Oven with Grill.

The Power Convection has a whooping 1790W power rating (comparable to the 1800W of the Breville Smart Oven Series), while that of the PowerGrill is 1300W. Cuisinart does not share comparable output power ratings for its convection and grill, but its input ratings (which is always higher than output ratings) of 1500W for convection and 1100W for grill are considerably lower.

The performance of the CMW-200 may be pleasantly surprising, but that of the MC11K7035CG is as close to perfection as you’d get on a microwave toaster oven combo.

Oh, and it toasts much better than the CMW-200.

Functionalities

Slim fry, sensor cook, and eco mode are exclusives that you wouldn’t find on the CMW-200. The Samsung Power Convection Oven offers much more though.

Its touchpad may not be as crowded as that of the CMW-200, but that’s more of a drive at improved simplicity than the lack of functionalities. For instance, while the Cuisinart Convection Microwave Oven has 9 presets, the MC11K7035CG has over two dozen presets. The Power Convection function alone has 14 different presets, with several presets offering improved precision like on the CMW-200—where you can adjust a preset by number of servings (weight) or volume.

It also offers custom single and combined use of functions.

Making a choice

The MC11K7035CG does not exactly surpass the CMW-200 in all aspects. The CMW-200 is negligibly larger (1.2 cu. ft. versus 1.1 cu. ft.), has a 3-year warranty (versus 1-year warranty), and is considerably cheaper.

Still, paying extra for the Samsung MC11K7035CG Power Convection Microwave is a deal you do not want to pass up if the price tag is not prohibitive to you.

However, if you don’t see yourself paying that much for a countertop toaster oven, then the Cuisinart CMW-200 is a safe choice.

• Note manufacturer’s clearance requirements—4 inches (10 centimeters) at the sides and back, and 8 inches (20 centimeters) of vertical headspace.
• Follow manufacturer’s recommendations of compatible cookware for microwave + convection combination cooking procedures.

Samsung Grill Microwave Oven [MG14H3020CM] – Best Affordable Microwave Toaster Oven

The Samsung Grill Microwave Oven is gorgeous, prolly gorgeous to a fault—its mirrored finish reduces visibility of food inside of the oven.

But:

That doesn’t take away from its premium design, sturdy build, and decent performance. Its sleek, stylish black stainless steel build fitted with a front-facing mirror design is a head-turner. Having the LCD display mesh seamlessly with the mirror finish and complementing it with a neatly arranged touch pad certainly shows that the design team went to town on the MG14H3020CM.

The Samsung Grill Microwave Oven isn’t meant to compete with the big boys. It is simply a full-fledged microwave with a grill and ceramic plate to make food crispy—great for pizza, sandwiches, fish, and bacon. It doesn’t have convection, and that’s the major reason for its affordability.

Samsung MG14H3020CM versus Samsung MC11K7035CG: Deciding Between Affordable And Premium

Read Comprehensive Individual Reviews And Comparisons Here

In a nutshell, a comparison between the Samsung MG14H3020CM Grill Microwave and the Samsung MC11K7035CG Power Convection Microwave boils down to needs and budget.

The MG14H3020CM doesn’t have convection, slim fry, or sensor cooking found in the Power Convection Microwave.

But it does have same:

• quality stainless steel build,
• ceramic enamel interior for easy cleaning,
• PowerGrill—grill + grill rack + ceramic plate,
• auto-cook presets,
• ten (10) power levels, and
• eco mode

Its 950W microwave power rating is comparable to the 1000W microwave rating of the MC11K7035CG, the grill offers a decent performance equivalent to that of the CMW-200, and it is larger than both higher-rated models with a 1.4 cu. ft. volume.

If you pretty much have your eyes set on a microwave—not willing to forego its phenomenal speed and ability to make popcorn for movie nights—but want food that your palates would prefer, and can’t be bothered about convection, then the Samsung MG14H3020CM Grill Microwave Oven is your best bet.

If its 22” x 18.1” x 12.3” (WDH) dimensions (excluding clearance requirements) is over the top for you and/or you suspect that the mirrored finish would seriously hamper visibility even with the interior oven light on; then you should get the Samsung MG11H2020CT Grill Microwave Oven with a 1.1 cu. ft. volume.

It is identical to the MG14H3020CM in everything but size, lack of front mirror finish, and slightly higher power rating of 1000W. It is also a couple of dollars cheaper.

4. Black+Decker 4-Slice Toaster Oven [TO1313SBD] – Best Toaster Oven Under $50

Dimensions (in): W-15.5 x D-10 x H-8.5 | Max Fit: 4 slices, 9” pizza | Number of Presets: 4 | Power: 1150W | Features: EvenToast technology, Stay-on Function

Keeping it simple

Ok, let’s take a break from all the super-duper, top-of-the-line toaster ovens with tons of features crammed in to bloat the spec sheet.

Some of us really just want a classic toaster oven. A toaster in a portable oven form factor:

• with the extra real estate for food that may or may not fit in a slot,
• that toasts as well as bake and broil,
• but without the frills and a three-figure price tag

The BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Toaster Oven is that oven.

No, it doesn’t have convection, LCD display, air fryer (slim fry), and what not. What it does have are essentials that make it a useful toaster oven with a decent performance.

Critical features that guarantee decent performance

• To start with, the T01313SBD has a stainless steel build for durability and to fit with the aesthetics of most kitchens
• It has a compact size, similar to the Panasonic Flash Xpress, that fits up to 4 slices and a 9” pizza
• It boasts of the EvenToast technology to offer a solid performance—whether it is toasting crispy bagel or bread, baking a potato or soft cupcakes, or heating up a leftover
• It offers FOUR (4) basic pre-set functions—toast, bake, broil, and warm
• It is fitted with THREE (3) dials/knobs—to select temperature, cooking function, and time—for easy control
• It has a toast selector, removable crumb tray, and includes a bake pan and broil rack as accessories

No flaws worth pointing out

Before you purchase the Black+Decker TO1313SBD Toaster Oven, it is crucial to note that it is not a premium toaster oven, it isn’t priced as one, and you shouldn’t expect it to perform as one.

Once you acknowledge this fact, the value proposition of the TO1313SBD becomes undeniably apparent—acceptable performance at a budget-friendly price point.

It may not have the most power, may take a while to preheat, and may not be as fast as the Flash Xpress; but the results are not off the mark. It sufficiently browns toasts evenly and on both sides. Baking and broiling results are equally satisfactory.

And while its timer maxes out at 30 minutes, unlike the Flash Xpress you do not have to restart after it elapses. Rather, it has a nifty stay-on feature that you could select with the timer dial to keep it operational for as long as you need (although, we advise against this for obvious safety reasons, especially if you’d step out of the kitchen).

Its temperature range of 150°F to 450 °F is as extensive as you’d need for most cooking tasks.

The Black+Decker 4-Slice Toaster Oven TO1313SBD

• has a design that doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb;
• offers a better than average performance;
• is very easy to use;
• is simple to clean and maintain;
• is available at roughly 1/8^th and 1/3^rd the cost of our top pick and runner up respectively; and
• has a 2-year warranty (our top two picks have one year warranty)

If there’s a feature you can’t do without and it isn’t on the TO1313SBD, say convection or an interior oven light, up your budget and go for another toaster oven on the list.

However, if you want a modern iteration of the classic toaster oven that has served homes dutifully for decades, you can’t go wrong with the Black+Decker TO1313SBD.

Black+Decker 4-slice Toaster Oven TO1313SBD versus Black+Decker 4-slice Toaster Oven TO1303SB: The Differences

Both models are identical in functions and performance. The difference between both models is cosmetic.

The 1303SB has a slightly shinier, more elegant appearance; and it has better knobs (dials) compared to the 1313SBD. Thus, it is marginally more expensive.

However, it is worth noting that though both models have had durability complaints, most likely due to defective products, the rate of complaints was higher for the 1303SB.
