Hamilton Beach 31156 2-in-1 Oven and Toaster

4.3

3 sourcesall derived$99.95as of Oct 15

The Hamilton Beach 31156 is the toaster-first pick: a clever 2-in-1 that sets a long-slot pop-up toaster on top of a small bake/broil oven. Consumer Reports called it the only model to earn top-notch scores in all its toast tests, and it toasts up to 40% faster than a typical toaster oven. The oven cavity is small, with no convection or air fry. For fast toast plus occasional light baking under $100, nothing matches its form factor.

Strengths

— Unique 2-in-1: a long-slot pop-up toaster on top plus a real bake/broil oven below
— Compact footprint with a slide-lever to switch between toaster and oven
— Low price for a toaster and oven in one

Watch-outs

— Oven cavity is small — fits only a 9-inch pizza
— No convection, air fry, or digital presets
— Bottom of oven-baked items can overcook before the top

Ranked #4 in Best Toaster Ovens Under $200

Toshiba AC25CEW-BS Convection Toaster Oven

4.2

2 sourcesall derived$119.99as of Oct 15

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
