CNET's #1 overall pick for 2026, it preheated faster than every competitor and placed first or second in nearly every test. The flip-up hinge design stores it in just 7 inches of wall clearance, making it the only serious option for tight kitchens.
The Ninja preheated the fastest (by far) and kept its heat consistent throughout. The air fryer function was also best in show and it broiled a salmon filet nicely.
Flips up to save counter space. Air fryer function was the best of any toaster we tried. Toaster and air fryer in one.
The most consistently top-ranked countertop convection oven across every major testing source. Roomy interior, 13+ cooking modes, and dead-accurate heat make it the closest thing to replacing your full-size oven.
The top pick from both Serious Eats and Good Housekeeping, this app-connected oven handles 13 cooking modes with autopilot precision. A chef-tested recipe library and multi-stage cooking sequences set it apart from every other smart oven.
The only home countertop oven with true steam injection adjustable from 0, 100% humidity, enabling sous vide-style cooking without a water bath. Serious Eats added it to their winners list after rigorous testing of the updated 2.0 version.
Good Housekeeping's top pick for air frying performance in a toaster oven format, regularly available for under $170. Air-fried wings and fries came out crispy and even, results that rival standalone air fryers at a fraction of the Breville's price.
