Here Are The Top 10 Best Convection Toaster Ovens As Of July, 2019

As a countertop convection oven, it's not surprising how the Breville Smart Oven Pro has impressed the majority of its 2376 reviewers for its ability to heat food quickly and evenly compared to the standard oven. Most buyers also seem to agree that the preset programs that this model comes with (and there're a bunch of them -- namely, Toast, Bagel, Bake, Roast, Broil, Pizza, Cookies, Reheat, Warm, and Slow Cook) serve their function perfectly well, instead of being useless bells and whistles that had been merely added just for the sake of being fancy. As one reviewer put it, it's great for toasting and roasting chicken (speaking of chicken, you might want to check out AlphaChooser's best rotisserie ovens list), and it also ((Q))bakes like a boss((Q)) .

According to reviews, this convection 6-slice toaster oven feels solid and well-built. The modern-looking silver design had been aesthetically pleasing for buyers, as well. The electronic controls have also been described as intuitive and easy to use.

Looking at the lower-rated feedback, the most common complaint we've seen tells about how hot the exterior gets. The issue may be a serious concern for households with elderly or disabled people who are more prone to skin burning accidents -- but it is an oven at the end of the day, and such a thing is expected. Some people have also experienced a weird smell with this 4.5-star convection oven, but this can apparently be avoided by running it on full blast, while empty, a few times after purchase.

Suffice to say, this Breville convection 6-slice oven is widely-considered by our review analysis system as a top-notch model, and it's currently considered Alphachooser's best convection toaster oven 2019 (Learn how we rank items) with a confidence level of 100 (More on confidence levels).

The 4.5-star Breville Smart Oven Air's 1-cubic-foot capacity has certainly been a well-received spec for consumers who are all about capacity (the average capacity across all toaster ovens, as of this writing, is 0.6 cubic feet). As such, this convection 6-slice toaster oven reportedly fits big items (like a whole chicken or a big bag of fries) easily, and it has largely-replaced the conventional big oven for many homeowners. Needless to say, it goes both ways -- space-strapped consumers may not take a liking to this specific model. If you're one of these people who are looking to save some space, we recommend you check out the best small toaster ovens on AlphaChooser. It's useful to note, however, that a lot of reviewers have pointed out that they did save a lot of space in the end, as this convection oven rendered having to purchase a separate toaster, air-fryer, and broiler unnecessary.

Speaking of air-frying, the air-frying rack that came with this model seems to have received a lot of positive attention from customers, who say that it works excellently . The stainless steel pans and racks have also been convenient for users because they were apparently easy to clean.

It's not all rainbows and butterflies as we did see some complaints. Some people have said that while the rest of the walls were easy to maintain, the ceiling of this toaster oven is a bit trickier to wipe down. And although it doesn't have anything to do with the actual product, a bunch of people did state that they would have been happier if this convection toaster oven came with a recipe book, as the fancy features have proved to be a bit intimidating to use for first-time owners.

As it stands, this Breville Smart convection oven is considered Alphachooser's second best convection toaster oven 2019 on this list of the top 10 models, as determined by our system after considering 35445 reviews for the entire subcategory.

As said by many reviewers, the Cuisinart TOB-135N is a well-made small countertop convection oven that performs its numerous functions well. The majority of users report using all of its preset programs and ending up satisfied with the results. According to them, it ((Q))works wonderfully and cooks evenly((Q)) .

Many people also pointed out how its being a digital model has eliminated the annoying ticking sound that many knob dial-sporting ovens make. The option to turn off the end-of-cycle ding has also been a welcome feature for most buyers. Lastly, this 6-slice convection toaster oven's auto-off feature and ability to cook food in a fast manner have also been two frequently-mentioned pros.

On the other hand, there have been reports saying that the door tends to collect crumbs in the area where the glass and metal meet. However, the rest of the toaster oven is easy to clean, according to these reports. The rear of the toaster also apparently gets extremely-hot. While this is considered a small countertop oven, considerable back clearance is needed to help offset the heat emanating from behind. If you're lacking space, there are other small toaster ovens that you can check out here on AlphaChooser. Also, there have been concerns about its controls not being very intuitive initially -- but as many reviewers pointed out, it's not something you can't get used to and eventually master after several uses. Speaking of controls, a small number of people have also said that the letters on the control panel tend to wear off easily. Fortunately, they were able to remedy this by coating the letters with clear nail polish.

Garnering a combined score of (rating temporarily unavailable) stars from the customer reviews that our review crawler has aggregated, the Oster TSSTTVDFL2 has earned the approval of many customers for its ability to perform all of its functions (Bake, Broil, Toast, Turbo, Warm) well. It apparently comes to the desired temperature fast, which shouldn't really be a surprise, given that this is one of the advantages that convection toaster ovens banner in the first place. Nonetheless, many reviewers report feeling amazed at how ((Q))incredibly-quick((Q)) this toaster oven gets things done. Evenly-cooking and toasting food have also been reported as strengths.

Design-wise, customer seem to love how this toaster looks in their kitchens. To add, aside from having controls that are easy to use, this 6-slice convection toaster oven has also been a breeze to clean, according to many buyers, who also described the design as functional and sturdy.

A small number of people have reported disliking the sound that this oven makes while it's counting down, with one calling it a ((Q))ticking timebomb noise((Q)) . For many other people, however, this little facet is considered insignificant compared to how well this model performs. As with many other convection toaster ovens that we have encountered here on AlphaChooser, this has a chemical scent that customers have reported experiencing within first use -- so you'd have to perform the empty-oven-on-full-blast ritual to get rid of the smell prior to using it for the first time.

The Oster TSSTTVDFL2 toaster oven is not 100 percent perfect, but based on customer reviews, it seems to do its job properly. However, the issues we have presented have proved to be an obstacle that has hindered it from being included in our top 10 models list.

According to reviews, the KitchenAid KCO273SS heats up quickly and handles all sorts of food well. The alarm that sounds off after the pre-heating time over has also been appreciated by users. The inside has been reported to be quite spacious, but they've also pointed out that it didn't take up too much counter space. At present, this powerful-on-paper 1800-watt convection toaster oven has an aggregated rating of (rating temporarily unavailable) stars from reviews.

While it may produce less heat compared to a conventional oven, the KCO273SS still gets considerably-hot, according to users. However, the plus side is that it reportedly cools down very fast after use. The aesthetics on this countertop convection oven are generally-considered as pleasing, with several reviewers mentioning having receiving compliments and inquiries on it. Looking at the more functional side of design, this has reportedly been easy to clean and sturdy-feeling. People also appear to like that the controls have been very easy to use. In fact, one customer said that ((Q))it couldn't have been made any simpler((Q)) .

The cons we've seen include the absence of an interior light, and the crumb tray door being reportedly tricky to slide back in -- nothing that gravely concerns performance, but things that KitchenAid may want to consider for future outings in their convection oven lineup.

The AlphaChooser review crawler has considered 35445 reviews for this entire subcategory and found that, while this convection toaster oven seems to work well, its ratings don't merit it a spot in the top 10 models list.
