The modern toaster oven is more than just an appliance used for browning; it is a device capable of carrying out almost all of the same tasks as a conventional oven, without space, time, or money required to accommodate a larger machine. If your cooking needs are modest or space in the kitchen is at a premium, these ovens are the perfect solution. To help you find the perfect appliance for your needs, here are our top five best toaster ovens on the market.

5. Cuisinart TOB-155 Toaster Oven

Cuisinart is a name that has become associated with quality in the kitchen and this space-saving toaster oven broils fish to perfection. Boasting an impressive six-slice capacity and pizza/bake, broil, and three toast options: bagel, defrost and reheat, the Cuisinart is a solid option at a decent price. However, the interface takes a little bit of getting used to and the door handle can get pretty hot, letting the product down.

4. Breville BOV800XL with Element IQ

The Breville is probably the most advanced product in our list of best toaster oven reviews and is packed with features, including five quartz heating elements, auto-eject wire rack, and an LCD screen that turns orange during pre-heating. The 1800-watt product also comes with Breville’s Element IQ technology that provides smart control over heat with nine pre-set functions. This machine is easy to use and even easier to clean, but the fact that it only goes up to 450-degrees means it’s not great for pizza or broiling.

3. Cuisinart TOB-195 Exact Heat

The second Cuisinart in our list of best products of 2016 and the slightly more expensive of the two, the TOB-195 is a great multifunctional countertop oven, and is big enough to fit in a 12-inch pizza without commanding a large footprint. This product does everything that the TOB-155 does – it just does it with a little bit more style. It is also better looking too, with a silver control panel replacing the black used on the cheaper model.

2. Panasonic NB-G110P Flash Xpress

Panasonic is not exactly known for its expertise in kitchen appliances, tending to specialize more in consumer electronics; however, the Flash Xpress is a damn fine machine. Okay, so it’s not the most attractive of toaster ovens, but it is easy to use and does a great job on everything from toasting bread and bagels to reheating pizzas.  The ‘Flash Xpress’ element of the oven is another reason why we love this machine, as it uses double infrared light to cook up to 40-times faster than a conventional toaster. If Panasonic could just do something about the looks of the oven, they could well have the best product on the market.

1. Breville BOV450XL with Element IQ

Our number one best toaster oven award goes to another of the Breville’s, the Mini Smart Oven. Once again boasting Element IQ technology, the Smart Oven is the most state-of-the-art oven on the market and the easiest product on this list to use thanks to its digital knobs. This oven warms up at super speed and cooks everything from cookies to chicken with precision. And, as if there wasn’t already enough to love, Breville has also thrown in an excellent auto-eject rack. If you’re looking for a smart oven that can do it all, this is the machine you need.
