The Breville Smart Oven Compact BOV670 is the best toaster oven under $200, packing Breville's Element iQ even-heat system and 8 one-touch presets into a compact footprint. America's Test Kitchen has long made the Breville Smart Oven family its top pick, and the compact version brings that even baking and toasting to a smaller cavity. It is the priciest option here and there is no true air-fry mode, but for everyday toast, bake, and roast it is the most polished.

Strengths
  • — Compact 0.5 cu ft interior still fits a 12-inch pizza or 4-slice toast and a roast chicken
  • — America's Test Kitchen ranks the Breville Smart Oven family as its longtime top pick
  • — Super convection cuts cook time up to ~30% versus standard bake
Watch-outs
  • — No dedicated air-fry basket mode like the Cuisinart and Ninja picks

The Toshiba AC25CEW-BS is the best value toaster oven and America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy: a large 6-slice convection oven with 10 functions, a rotisserie kit, and 6 accessories for around $100. ATK found it "did a great job with almost every task," and third-party testers gave its convection pizza and crust 9.1-9.5/10. The console is fussier than the Breville's and there is no air-fry basket, but nothing beats it on capacity and features per dollar.

Strengths
  • — America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy — "did a great job with almost every task" for the lowest price tested
  • — Large 6-slice cavity fits an 11-inch pizza or a 4-lb chicken
  • — Includes 6 accessories: rotisserie kit, racks, pans, and crumb tray
Watch-outs
  • — Console is trickier to navigate than the Breville's
