9 Best Toaster Ovens of 2026

The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer ranks first because it covers the widest range of everyday countertop cooking at a price below the flagship ovens. It lists 11 functions, from toast and bagel to roast, pizza, cookies and a slow cook setting for long, low-temperature cooks, plus a dedicated Air Fry mode that pairs higher temperatures with Breville's Super Convection airflow. Breville's Element IQ system steers power between independent heating elements and uses sensing with digital PID temperature control, which Breville says eliminates cold spots. The LCD tells you when preheating is done and starts the timer on its own, and the interior light can be turned on mid-cook. The box includes an air fry basket, a broiling rack with an enamel roasting pan, a 13 inch non-stick pizza pan and a wire rack. The trade-offs are price and size: at $349.95 it costs much more than the Ninja Flip, and it needs about 16 inches of counter depth. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cooking tests.

The Ninja Flip ranks second because it solves the main complaint about countertop ovens, the space they take, at $149.99 on SharkNinja's US store. When you are done cooking, the oven flips up against the backsplash, and Ninja says it then takes up 50% less counter space. It still covers 8 functions: air fry, roast, broil, bake, pizza, toast, bagel and dehydrate. Ninja's OvenCrisp Technology pairs infrared heating with circulating hot air, and the oven air fries up to 4 lbs of ingredients or bakes a 12 inch pizza; Ninja says it makes family-sized meals for up to 4 people in 20 minutes. The trade-offs are a 19.84 lb weight to lift each time you flip it and a one year limited warranty. Check the height of your wall cabinets, since the product measures 18.43 inches tall.

The Breville Smart Oven Pro is the pick for kitchens that bake and roast more than they air fry. For $269.95 on Breville's US store it uses Element IQ to move heat across 5 quartz elements, has an 1800W preheat and a convection fan that Breville says cuts cooking time by up to 30%. Its 10 functions cover toast for 6 slices, bagel, bake, roast, broil, pizza, cookies, reheat, warm and slow cook, and the slow cook setting runs for up to 10 hours before it switches to keep warm. The interior light comes on at the end of a cycle, and Breville notes replaceable components. In the box are one oven rack, a 12 x 12 inch enamel baking pan, a matching broiling rack and a 13 inch non-stick pizza pan. The catch is that there is no air fry mode, and for $80 more the Smart Oven Air Fryer adds one plus dual speed convection in the same footprint.

The Ninja Prestige Smart XL suits households that want a second oven on the counter rather than a toaster with extras. Ninja says its Smart Surround Convection delivers up to 10x the convection power of a built-in oven and cooks evenly on 2 levels with no need to rotate pans, so a sheet pan dinner and a tray of vegetables can cook together. It lists 10 cooking functions and a 90-second preheat. At $229.99 on SharkNinja's US store, reduced from $399.99, it costs $40 less than the Breville Smart Oven Pro, though Ninja's warranty is one year. Ninja sells replacement sheet pans and air fry baskets at $23.99 each, a wire rack at $19.99 and a crumb tray at $12.99. The size is the main drawback: it weighs 26.23 lbs and measures 20.04 x 17.09 x 13.35 inches, so measure before you buy.

The Anova Precision Oven 2.0 has the deepest feature set here, but it is a combi oven first and a toaster oven second. It adds steam injection, controlled from 0 to 100% with a 10 cup tank, to convection heating, and uses 2 dry bulb sensors, a wet bulb sensor and a food probe to hold temperature between 77 and 482 degrees F. Anova lists 12 cook modes, including sous vide without a bag, steam bake, air fry, proof and dehydrate. A camera identifies food and suggests a cook method, and the app can start preheating over Wi-Fi. The 1.2 cu ft interior takes pans up to 12 x 15 inches, and Anova says it handles a holiday turkey. The costs are size and price: it weighs 51.8 lbs, Anova recommends a dedicated circuit, and its US price did not show as USD from our location, so its value score is conservative. Anova backs it with a 2-year warranty. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cooking tests.

Panasonic's FlashXpress is the specialist on this list: a small 1300W oven built for speed rather than range. Its double infrared heater, with quartz and infrared elements at the front and back, heats instantly, so Panasonic says there is no need to preheat. Six auto-cook menus with preset buttons calculate time for common foods, and the digital timer runs up to 25 minutes with temperatures from 250 to 500 degrees F. The square tray holds a personal pizza or 4 slices of bread, and the oven measures 13 x 12 x 10.2 inches and weighs 7.5 lbs. At $149.99 on Shop Panasonic USA it costs the same as the Ninja Flip but does far less: there is no convection and no air fry, and the 0.52 cu ft interior will not take a 9 x 13 pan. Panasonic recalled its NB-G200 toaster oven in July 2026 over power cord insulation; this NB-G110P is a different model.

The Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp Air Fryer Toaster Oven is the budget pick at $59.99 on Hamilton Beach's US store. It covers 4 cooking options, air fry, bake, broil and toast, and its Sure-Crisp convection function circulates air for browning with little to no oil. The cavity fits 4 slices of toast, a 9 inch pizza, an 8 x 8 inch pan or a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan, and Hamilton Beach says it holds a 3 lb chicken in an 8 x 8 inch pan. Controls are manual: a 30 minute timer with auto shutoff, a ready bell and a stay-on setting. A metal air fry basket, bake pan, broil rack and slide-out crumb tray come in the box. The limits follow from the price: 1120 watts, a smaller cavity than the Ninja Flip or Instant Omni Plus, and no presets or digital display. At 11.5 x 14.9 x 8.7 inches it fits most counters. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cooking tests.

The Instant Pot Omni Plus 18L stands out for one feature: it is the only oven here with a rotisserie spit in the box. Around that it offers 10 functions, air fry, bake, broil, dehydrate, toast, reheat, roast, warm, convection bake and rotisserie, with Instant's EvenCrisp airflow driving air from the top down. Gold quartz infrared elements provide the heat, the temperature range runs from 170 to 450 degrees F, and a double-layer glass door holds heat in. The 18 liter cavity fits 6 slices of bread or a 12 inch pizza, and the oven draws 1800 watts. Included are an enamel baking tray, a stainless steel oven rack, an air frying basket and the rotisserie spit, and Instant lists the tray and basket as dishwasher safe. Instant's product page points to retailers instead of selling directly, so we could not verify a USD price there, and its one year warranty applies only to purchases from authorized retailers.

BLACK+DECKER's Crisp 'N Bake Air Fry Countertop Oven with No Preheat (TOD5035SS) is a simple digital air fry oven with one notable trick. Its ExpertTemp Technology lets you skip preheating, and a dedicated No preheat button sits among its 10 programmed settings: air fry, bake, toast, bagel, pizza, broil, roast, warm and reheat. It has a digital screen, sits in BLACK+DECKER's 6 slice oven range, and comes with a bake pan, a rack and an air fry mesh tray. The unit is 14.8 inches wide, 11.5 inches tall and weighs 19 lb. The product page is thin on details: it does not state wattage, interior size or warranty terms, and it showed a where-to-buy link rather than a price, so we could not verify a USD price. Shoppers who want a verified price and a published spec sheet should look at the Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp or Ninja Flip instead.
