Don't expect anything in the way of fancy cooking modes, and it features simple manual dials to control the time and temperature. The Comfee is priced at $45 or less, which makes it the best toaster oven for those on a budget. It also held heat more consistently than any other oven, likely due to its small size and lack of a convection fan, which moves hot air around.
If you're looking for a basic toaster oven for your morning staples, the Comfee is simple, small and does the most basic toaster tasks well. The Foodi lists for $240, but can often be found for $200 or less, which I view as solid value considering the quality, versatility and performance of this countertop appliance.Įditors' note: This model was tested previously as part of CNET's list of best air-frying toaster ovens. It also makes things a bit clumsy when you're loading food in and taking it out, and it's harder to see while it's cooking. The Ninja is short - about 6 inches tall - so you're somewhat limited in what you can put inside. One drawback is the Ninja's interior size, but I suspect that's also why the air fryer mode works as well as it does. When locked in the up position, it's no more than eight inches from the back to front. Speaking of countertop space: The Foodi smartly flips upright on a back hinge. The Ninja's MSRP is $50 more than the Panasonic and $40 more than Breville, but if you were planning to buy an air fryer, you would save money overall, not to mention space on the counter. The Foodi functions well as a toaster, quickly and evenly toasting bread and blasting a frozen empanada to golden-brown perfection, but it also sports a mighty air-frying function that's on par with just about any we've tested. If it's a countertop oven that doubles as an air fryer you seek, this Ninja model is likely the best toaster oven for you. It also weighs 15 pounds, which is twice as much as the FlashXpress, but still by no means heavy. Though usually the Breville Mini Smart Oven is priced at $160, which is about $10 dollars more than the FlashXpress generally sells for, it's easy to find it on sale. A thoughtful "a bit more" button gives your food another minute of cooking time if it's needed without having to reset the program. Breville's Mini Smart oven has three levels at which you can slide a tray in, and the dials and settings allow for more precision than most ovens. The slightly more expensive Breville does sport a few functions that the Panasonic doesn't, the most important being broil and convection modes. The Breville, like the FlashExpress, also held its temperature well and preheated quickly. Both toasted four slices of bread evenly, with doneness presets that deliver on their promise. The race for the overall best toaster oven was a true photo finish between the Panasonic FlashXpress and Breville's capable Mini Smart Oven.
