Our experts chose the Oster Extra Large Digital Countertop Convection Oven as our winner for its stellar performance, impressive energy efficiency, extra-large capacity, and ease of cleaning. For a budget pick, the Black+Decker Crisp N' Bake Air Fry 4-Slice Toaster Oven is a good choice for its above-average cooking performance and compact design.
You don’t necessarily need a big, hefty kitchen appliance like a wall oven to do the heavy lifting in the kitchen; the right countertop models can churn out all the power you need to complete a wide range of cooking tasks, from toasting and roasting to baking and broiling. Plus, they require a lot less power than traditional ovens, which makes them much more energy-efficient. To determine which of the most popular models are truly the best, we tested and rated them on performance, ease of use, features, and more—see the winners below.

Oster Extra Large Digital Countertop Convection Oven Review
Though countertop ovens are generally more energy-efficient than wall ovens or oven-stove combinations, this particular model uses an extra-impressive 50 percent less energy while still giving you great results. In our tests, it cooked a juicy meatloaf in just 45 minutes (compared to an hour in a standard oven).
Size is usually the big disadvantage of a countertop oven over a traditional one, but the Oster Extra Large truly lives up to its name. It can accommodate two 16-inch pizzas, 18 slices of bread (seriously!), or—as our tester demonstrated—a full family-size chicken. It has a maximum temperature setting of 450 degrees, and its 90-minute timer automatically turns the oven off in case you get distracted.
It’s easy to use, thanks to convenient digital settings for baking, broiling, toasting, and defrosting. There’s also a dedicated pizza function as well as a warming feature to keep food hot while the rest of your meal cooks. Our tester was particularly fond of the glass door, since it offers a large view window to let you see what’s cooking without having to open the oven, but she did warn that it's a bit delicate. The bottom line is: Any family would be hard-pressed to find a more spacious option with higher efficiency.

Black+Decker's Crisp N' Bake Is a Compact, Efficient Toaster Oven
Though many countertop ovens will run you a few hundred dollars, this introductory model is much more affordable. Still, you’ll get plenty of the features and cooking power people love about higher-end models.
As a big bonus for anyone with a small kitchen, this oven is extremely compact and lightweight—it weighs just over 8 pounds-this makes it extremely easy to move in and out of storage. The only downside is that the lightweight construction means the oven isn’t as heavily insulated as some others, so it gets hot on the outside during cooking.
If you can look past that, you’ll be impressed by this oven’s capacity. It easily fits a 9-inch pizza, four slices of bread, or a variety of other snacks and meals. It also has five convenient cooking functions: warm, bake, toast, broil, and air fry. (Previous models didn’t have the ever-popular air-fry option.) As a bonus for anyone just building out their kitchen—college students, recent grads, newlyweds, and so forth—this model comes with a rack, baking pan, and air-fry basket that fit perfectly in the toaster oven for convenience.
Performance is surprisingly good, too. We found that bread toasted evenly, frozen food cooked well, and chicken legs cooked adequately using the air-fry function new to this particular model.

Breville Smart Oven Review
Though you’ll pay a hefty price for this countertop oven, it’s well worth the money. The 1,800 watts of power and optional convection heating help to roast meat, toast bread, and bake in less time than traditional countertop ovens. The smart heating system provides more consistent power, so your food is cooked to perfection each time. Altogether, this model boasts nine different preset cooking functions, including a "slow cook" option that can cook food for up to 10 hours.
We were impressed by the LCD screen and tested the various cooking functions by making pizzas, casseroles, cinnamon rolls, and homemade pies, with each test coming out perfectly. It also outperformed expectations when it came to baking cookies, which are notorious for cooking unevenly in small oven spaces. You can even modify the presets to customize any function.
This machine has an interior light that automatically turns on when the door is open, and it even comes with a baking and broiling tray as well as a nonstick pizza pan. If you're worried about this multi-functional oven looking clunky in your kitchen, we found the stainless steel exterior attractive, and it has an unexpectedly low profile that makes the appliance look sleek and modern—not bulky. Plus, you could always opt for the mini version if you’re really short on space.

Brava Oven Review
With the most basic model costing over $1,000, this a big-time splurge, but for those willing to pay the price for convenience, it’s a worthy one. Inside the Brava, your dishes get cooked to perfection by six high-powered halogen lamps that heat to 500 degrees in less than a second. That's right: The Brava cooks by using light.
We found that we could also cook two different dishes at different temperatures at the same time, which quickly became a favorite feature. The oven has three zones—each with two lamps—that can be customized individually and really can maintain separate temperatures in separate zones.
Another big highlight for us was the custom cook function. You can essentially create your own cooking presets, which help the oven learn your household's culinary preferences. Brava's compatible app is helpful for sharing recipes with friends via text or social media. You can download custom meal programs from the user library, and your phone will notify you before cooking is complete. Lastly, we found that customer service is quick with answering any questions, plus there's a Facebook group for additional support.

Breville The Smart Oven Pizzaiolo Review
Since this particular countertop oven is designed specifically for pizza, it has a slightly different aesthetic than other models. It has a retro design that's attractive in an industrial sort of way. Outside of looks, the design is convenient enough, since it’s wider than it is tall, which makes it easier to store under your cabinets. If you want to store it between uses, it's easy to transport, but heavy.
Though functionality is limited—it's a pizza oven designed to make pizza and not much else—it does very well at what it’s meant to do. There are actually a variety of settings available, designed for a range of pizza styles including frozen pizza, pan pizza, New York pizza, and "wood-fired" pizza. In our tests, it made phenomenal frozen pizza with crispy bottoms and well-browned tops. We also found that this was the ultimate machine for nachos (tortilla chip-based pizza, essentially), as it produced still-crispy chips with gorgeously melted cheese.
One of its few downsides is that it's slightly hard to clean, and its included metal pizza peel doesn't work as well as a wooden one. That said, it was the most efficient and fuss-free way we have ever made pizza.

June Oven Review
If you've looked at the June Oven before, you might think, "Wait, that doesn't have a rotisserie function," but it's a new feature included with the release of the Generation 3 version. The June is an incredibly versatile countertop oven that can do everything from toasting and air frying to proofing dough and acting like a pizza oven. What's more, it has a compatible smartphone app that allows you to watch a live feed of what's cooking via an internal camera.
During testing, it continued to impress whether we wanted to heat up leftovers, toast English muffins, or bake cookies. No matter what we placed in the oven, it recognized the food and gave the correct options for cooking. We also tested the new pizza function, which baked and broiled pizza to crisp precision.
Of course, the rotisserie function truly wowed. The function is a little hidden, but once you place a chicken in this oven, it will recognize it and begin rotisserie cooking. Unlike cheaper rotisserie-only ovens, many of which get messy inside, this doesn't spin the chicken. Instead, it turns elements on and off, mimicking a spit. The result is one of the best roasted chickens we've ever seen in testing, but you'll pay for that functionality: The June is also one of the more expensive countertop ovens out there.

It may surprise you to learn that some of the best air fryers aren’t dedicated air fryers, but countertop ovens with air-frying functionality. Such is the case with this model by Cuisinart, which “fries” food to that golden brown, crispy perfection using super-hot air circulated by an ultra-powerful fan.
Choosing a model like this one is a wise choice for anyone with limited counter space, as it combines two appliances in one, but it’s also a great option for families. Traditional air fryers typically don’t offer enough space to cook for more than two people, but this cook up to 3 pounds of food at once.
We found this to be one of the most compact versions of air fryer/oven combos, and it performs exceptionally well as both. It does run a little hot, so even though french fries and chicken tenders came out golden and tasty, a few were a little too well-done. When roasting chickens to test for versatility, this model produced a crispy skinned bird that was also delicious and juicy. The controls are all manual and the inside was a bit tricky to clean, but we found it a very worthy purchase.

Breville makes all kinds of technologically advanced countertop kitchen equipment, and it's no surprise our list includes more than one of the brand's models. The Smart Oven Air Fryer adds air frying capacity to all the many functions of the standard Smart Oven we feature above, with an according increase in price. After testing, we named the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer one of our top picks for air fryers, and it's also a top pick for countertop ovens. We found that it did a great job with both oven functions, including baking cookies, and air fryer functions, such as making incredible french fries.
The machine can fit a 13-inch pizza, nine slices of bread, or almost an entire bag of frozen fries. We were impressed by how easy it is to clean, with a removable crumb tray and fully disassemble parts that all clean off with a simple rinse or wipe. Another nice feature is its many color options, which will match any kitchen. Just be careful with the door: Its glass gets quite hot while in use.

Final Verdict
The overall best option is the Oster Extra Large Digital Countertop Convection Oven because of its energy efficiency, roomy interior, and ease of cleaning. If you're looking for something more compact, try the Black+Decker Crisp ‘N Bake Air Fry 4-Slice Toaster Oven. Its versatility allows you to warm, bake, toast, broil, and air fry, all while being budget-friendly.

How We Tested
After researching a variety of countertop ovens, we sent top-rated models to our experienced at-home testers to put through the paces in their kitchens. We also tested two in our Lab as part of an air fryer test. We evaluated each one on its performance, ease of use, features, and more. Our testers cooked everything from whole chickens and baked potatoes to English muffins and tried out special air frying and rotisserie functions when applicable. Testers then offered additional insights on each model's strengths and weaknesses.

Other Options We Tested
- Emeril Lagasse Power AirFryer 360: A previous version of this roundup included the Emeril Lagasse countertop oven, which also features an air-frying function. The versatile appliance functions as a convection oven, rotisserie, food dehydrator, toaster, food warmer, slow cooker, and pizza maker. While it performed adequately, we ultimately felt that its noise level, difficulty in cleaning, and large size made it not worthy of its price tag. There are better options on our roundup with similar functionality.
What to Look for in a Countertop Oven
Size
When it comes a countertop oven for your home, there are two size factors to consider: the amount of cooking space you want and how much counter space you have. Ovens with larger interior capacities will generally have a larger countertop footprint, but some use clever design to pack more baking space into less counter space. In addition, many countertop ovens double as toasters or air fryers. These might be bigger than other models, but you can still end up saving space if you combine two or three separate appliances into one.
The Spruce Eats / Donna Curie
Features
Besides baking, many countertop ovens have additional features and functions. While most models have have toast, bake, and warm modes, there's a wide range of more advanced technology out there. Higher-end models have more specific and elevated options, including a powerful fan for convection baking and air frying, a rotating rotisserie, or a high-heat pizza mode. Some even have smart functionality to take the guesswork out—you simply tell the oven what you're cooking and it does the temperature and time for you. In general, more features means a higher price, and it might not be worth paying for cooking modes you don't plan to use.
If you plan to use a countertop oven as your main oven, a great feature to look for is a convection setting. "A convection oven is great to have because it cooks food by circulating air at a consistent and dry temperature," said Ron Yan, a private chef in New York City who uses exclusively a countertop oven in his own apartment. "This means that food will cook faster, and the surfaces of meats, such as chicken or turkey, can get delicious crispy skin while keeping the insides juicy and moist. It’s particularly great for roasted meats, vegetables, anything potato-based, cookies, and other pastries.”
Power and Heat Source
Nearly all countertop ovens use electricity, which means their power is measured in watts. Higher wattage means the oven heats up faster—but that's not the whole story. Larger spaces take more power to heat up, so a small-capacity oven might actually work better than a huge one even if it has somewhat less power. The way the oven heats up matters, too. Most ovens use metal heating elements like you'd find in a toaster oven or electric wall oven, but the way those heating elements are shaped and arranged affects how efficiently the oven cooks. (The futuristic Brava oven even ditches the traditional heating elements for super-powerful lights, which gives it some unique abilities.)
The Spruce Eats / Sage McHugh
FAQs
How do you clean a countertop oven?
After unplugging it and letting it cool completely, you clean a countertop oven in much the same way you'd clean a traditional oven: Remove any removable parts and rinse them in the sink, and wipe out the inside with a damp cloth or sponge. You should always check your particular user manual for full instructions, but few countertop ovens have dishwasher-safe parts; soap and water is typically all you'll need. No matter what, the whole oven should never be rinsed out or submerged in water: This will ruin its electronic parts. It's also a bad idea to use oven cleanser or other harsh chemicals on a countertop oven—stick to dish soap and plain water.
Does a countertop oven need a special outlet?
No. That's really what sets a countertop oven apart from a full-on wall oven or combination oven/range. Countertop ovens use the standard 110-volt outlet you'll find in most any room of an American house, while electric wall ovens and ranges use the special 220-volt outlets you also need for large appliances like clothes dryers and air conditioners. So you won't need to hire an electrician to "install" a countertop oven; you can simply take it out of the box and plug it in.
The Spruce Eats / Will Dickey
What's the difference between a toaster oven and a countertop oven?
There's not exactly a hard line between the two, but a toaster oven is typically smaller, less powerful, less multifuctional, and less expensive than a countertop oven. As the name suggests, a toaster oven is designed for making toast or pretty quick-and-easy heating tasks—reheating a slice or two of pizza or some leftover fried chicken, or baking frozen cookie dough or chicken fingers. It's not large enough to cook a big meal, and it's not usually built to hold a consistent temperature for long enough to do much serious baking or roasting. With a countertop oven, you trade a higher price for more interior space, more power, better temperature control, and more ability to do things like slow-cook and air fry. You can bake a whole from-scratch pizza (or two!) rather than just re-crisp a couple slices.
Do countertop ovens cook faster?
Countertop ovens do cook faster than regular ovens. Since they are smaller, they require less time to preheat and are able to circulate heat quickly and efficiently. The wattage and technology of each model will impact how quickly your food will cook (for example, countertop ovens with convection capabilities can further decrease cook time), but in general, your food will cook faster in a countertop oven than a convection oven.

Breville Smart Oven Pro Toaster Oven
Dimensions: 14. 5 x 18.5 x 11 inches | Weight: 22 pounds | Material: Brushed stainless steel | Wattage: 1800 watts | Warranty: 1-year limited
Let’s get one thing straight—countertop ovens rarely get praised for looking good. Practical, yes. Pretty, not so much. Luckily, the Breville Smart Oven Pro not only is an appliance you’ll be proud to leave out on your countertop, but it’s super functional, too. It features 10 cooking settings—toast, bagel, bake, roast, broil, pizza, cookies, reheat, warm and slow-cook—and is equipped with Element IQ, which transfers heat via five quartz elements to warm the oven even faster and get your food on the table pronto. The LCD display and interior light also make it easy to control the settings and see everything clearly, so that you never have to bite into burnt toast ever again.
Pros:
- Easy to use LCD display and stainless steel dials
- Accommodates a 13-inch pizza or six slices of toast
Cons:
- No air fryer option

Cuisinart TOA-65 Digital AirFryer Toaster Oven
Dimensions: 17. 0 x 21.5 x 15.75 inches | Weight: 26.4 pounds | Material: Stainless steel | Wattage: 1800 watts | Warranty: 3-year limited
We love an appliance that can do it all. Use this oven to reheat leftovers, bake a batch of cookies and toast bagels, plus air-fry chicken wings, French fries and crispy chickpeas. Bonus: the stainless steel exterior and light-up digital screen are aesthetically pleasing, too. Some air fryers are narrow, meaning that food doesn’t cook in a single layer and doesn’t necessarily get consistently crispy; that’s not a concern with this model, though. The basket measures 9 x 9 inches, which is large enough to accommodate nearly anything you’re cooking (yes, even a whole chicken).
You can’t argue with its $300 price point, either. Considering the fact that the average countertop ovens range in price from $150 to over $1,000 and most popular air fryers are $100-$200, you’ll save money by purchasing this dual model. Plus, you’re saving space (go ahead and ditch the single-use toaster and air fryer—I promise you don’t need them anymore).
Pros:
- A 2-in-1 oven and air fryer that delivers consistently good results
- High-end features at a relatively pocket-friendly price tag
Cons:
- The tall design isn’t ideal for anyone short on space or with low cabinets

First off, what even is a convection oven anyway? Unlike the traditional stove/oven duo that is probably in your kitchen, a convection oven uses a fan and exhaust system to circulate hot air to cook the food. There are two main benefits to convection cooking—it helps to cook food more evenly and it generally creates a better sear since there is less moisture in the environment. However, there is a learning curve with convection (most recipes require you to drop the temperature by about 25 degree Fahrenheit). This countertop oven, which is made by the brand that produces some of the most highly coveted ranges, has the ability to switch between convection and conventional cooking, so you can experiment with what you know and what you’ll soon love.
Pros:
- Seven cooking modes, including proof and roast
- Includes a probe to measure internal temperature of food
Cons:
- Heavier than other models

Instant Omni Pro Toaster Oven Air Fryer
Dimensions: 15.7 x 16.5 x 13.9 inches | Weight: 26 pounds | Material: Stainless steel and plastic | Wattage: 1800 watts | Warranty: 1-year limited
While Instant is known for the Instant Pot, the Omni Pro Toaster Oven Air Fryer is a highly-rated option from the kitchen brand. Just like its iconic multi-cooker, the Omni also replaces several appliances, including a toaster oven, air fryer and rotisserie. And despite its hybrid performance, it’s still one of the compacts on our list.
There are two exclusive features that make the Omni stand-out from the rest—first is Split Cook technology, which allows home cooks to combine two cooking functions at once. For example, set the machine to bake a crock of macaroni and cheese and switch to broil during the last few minutes for a golden brown crust. The other feature is the EvenCrisp technology, which allows cooks to create deliciously crispy and crunchy food without using a ton of oil.
Lastly, the rotisserie function lets you push your food (the brand recommends a four pound chicken or a five pound duck) onto the spit and position it in the cooking chamber. Select the desired cooking program—choose between air fry, roast and bake—and the rotisserie will automatically start cooking at the optimal time and temperature.
Pros:
- 14 settings ranging from reheat to rotisserie
- Double-layer glass door insulates heat for cool kitchens
- Includes the same technology as the air fryers
Cons:
- May need to adjust the time and temperature of some recipes by 25%, which can take some getting used to
What To Look For In A Countertop Oven
Here are the factors worth keeping in mind when shopping for your ideal model.
SizeMost countertop ovens are about the same size, measuring approximately 1.5 feet in both length and width. Capacity-wise, they can typically fit a 12- or 13-inch round pizza. If you’re short on space, make sure to look closely at prospective models’ to ensure it’ll fit. Our favorite petite model is the Panasonic FlashXpress.
FeaturesAt minimum, a countertop oven should be able to toast, roast, bake, reheat and keep food warm. But more advanced models may come with extra capabilities, such as the ability to broil casseroles, proof bread and even air fry fresh vegetables and frozen foods.
Ease Of UseAre the presets legible? Is it easy to adjust the time and temperature of the oven? Does it offer helpful alerts when the oven is preheated or the food is finished cooking? Ask yourself these questions as you explore different countertop ovens for yourself.
What Is The Best Countertop Oven?
Based on customer reviews, expert feedback and extensive research, our top pick overall is the Breville the Smart Oven Pro. This intuitive, user-friendly appliance has a light-up LED display that makes it easy to choose between 10 cooking settings. And if you need to adjust the temperature or cook time at any point, the machine has two large, easy-to-use dials that allow you to do that just that.
Can A Countertop Oven Replace A Regular Microwave?A countertop oven is ideal for reheating leftovers and cooking foods from frozen. However, there are a few things that these appliances can’t do: pop popcorn, warm beverages and reheat liquids like soup. Therefore, while a countertop oven can be used for most things, it’s beneficial to own a microwave, too.
Which Is The Best Countertop Oven For Baking Bread?There are three important factors to consider when purchasing a countertop oven for baking bread. First things first, choose one that’s large enough to accommodate a rising loaf. Second. look for one that has a “proof” feature, which provides a warm environment needed to help yeast rise during the bread proofing process. Finally, the model should have a convection heat setting to help create better crust. With these three things in mind, we consider the Wolf Elite Countertop Oven to be the best for bread-making.

Mini-oven, or roasters - a compact analogue of an oven. In terms of the quality of work, it is not inferior to the “big brother”, and due to the smaller dimensions of the working chamber, it consumes less electricity. The demand for mini-ovens is understandable, they are functional, convenient and do not take up much space. In the mini-oven, you can cook fish, bake meat or vegetables, and experiment with baking. What is important - food cooked in the oven is much more useful than, say, in a frying pan. If only because you can cook without the use of oil or with a minimum amount of it.
The mini-oven is also very convenient to use. All that is required is to set the temperature and the timer - and you can safely go about your business. All mini-ovens have the same purpose - baking at a certain temperature. Main functions: upper heating, lower heating, combined. Also, depending on the model, there may be a grill function and convection. Rotisserie ovens are the most expensive. Komsomolskaya Pravda talks about the best mini-ovens in 2023 - we publish the rating.

KRAFT KF-MO 3801 KRAFT KF-MO 3801. Photo: yandex.market.ruA very simple mini-oven, both in terms of design and functionality. However, it is voluminous. It comes in three colors: white, silver and black. It heats up quickly, the light indicator indicates that the required temperature has been reached. Switches do not crack - they work smoothly. You can set it to minimum power and use it to dry food without fear of burning. The set includes two large baking sheets and a wire rack. Users note that during operation, the device heats up unevenly from different sides. This does not affect cooking - everything is baked the same way. You just need to consider not to grab the hot part. It is interesting that roasters are made not in China, but in Turkey. Please note that the device is heavy - almost 10 kg, once again you cannot move it from place to place.
No door closer, quality of materials: does not break, but it is clear that the components are budget
2. KEDR plus ShZh-0.
625/220 KEDR plus ShZh-0.625/220. Photo: yandex.market.ruAnother mini-oven, which is available in all sorts of colors. However, we cannot praise this feature here. They look really toxic. We are not talking about the quality of materials, but the degree of saturation of the paint. It seems that there are also neutral black and silver colors, but they only emphasize the strange shape of the case. The domestic company claims the effect of the Russian stove. Maybe this is the reason for the shape that is interesting for a mini-oven? The description of the roaster says that heat is distributed evenly throughout the entire volume and envelops the pastries. In general, the reviews do not contradict this. It is also a fairly economical device in terms of the load on electrical networks. On its website, the manufacturer claims that the service life of the device is up to 20 years. Inside you can put dishes made of ceramics, glass or metal pallets. Please note that this is a budget device. Don't have high expectations for it.
3. GFgril GFO-38B
GFgril GFO-38B. Photo: yandex.market.ru
The product of a young Russian company that specializes in the production of grill equipment. Stainless steel roaster, black lacquered. The device weighs 7.5 kg. But the device itself does not look bulky. Mini-oven of large volume of 38 liters. Anything can be baked. There is a convection mode for uniform frying of complex dishes.
Controlled by simple mechanical controls. One of them seems redundant - just convection, just ON and OFF. Why not bring this function to the button and save space on the front panel? Probably, this will lead to an increase in the cost of the model. The minimum possible temperature of 100 degrees is hardly suitable for delicate heating. The sleep timer is set to a maximum of one hour. The set includes one baking sheet, a wire rack and a clamp to get the finished dish.
The grate sags under heavy dishes, there is no indication that the desired temperature has been reached

Simfer M4558 Simfer M4558. Photo: yandex.market.ruA Turkish company that specializes in the production of stoves, and indeed all kinds of household appliances for the kitchen. This is the largest mini-oven in the ranking of the best. For a volume of 45 liters, the dimensions do not seem too bulky. Works in six modes: different combinations of heating and grill. The timer can be set to 90 minutes. It is unlikely that any of the dishes will require more. There are three levels of guides inside. The manufacturer boasts of thermal insulation: everything inside is sheathed with a contour seal so that extra degrees do not go outside for safe use and reduce electricity costs. Interestingly, the kit includes not only a wire rack and a traditional rectangular baking sheet, but also a round one, for example, for pizza, casseroles and pies.

In addition to the ordinary, like "fish" or "vegetables", there are interesting dishes like ciabatta bread, scrambled eggs or cheesecake. An interesting program of languor. The oven can operate at low power for up to 10 hours. Despite the wide choice of auto programs, you can modify them manually - increase the temperature, add a few minutes. The set includes a spit and a grill grate. Of course, after such cooking, you will have to wash the roaster from fat. A removable tray is designed to simplify the process.

It also has a mini oven worthy of mention in the ranking of the best for 2023. This is a very compact roaster, often called a sandwich maker. Chicken carcass, big pie will not fit. A small piece of meat, potato wedges, mini pizza or tea casserole - that's the intended purpose. Note that there is a very small distance from the grate to the upper heating element - only one and a half matchboxes. Therefore, the products must lie in one layer. The timer here is only 30 minutes. But with such proximity to the food, it is unlikely that anything will require a longer cooking time. The manufacturer ambitiously puts a grill grate in the kit. But the handle for the baking sheet is a very convenient thing, and it is here.

It’s worth mentioning right away that it doesn’t have a classic working principle for roasters. Here everything is fried and baked thanks to convection. The bet is made precisely on the air processing of cooked food. There are even three steam settings - for vegetables and puddings, chicken and fish, or the most powerful one for frozen foods. In addition, the manufacturer makes a nod to families with small children - you can sterilize dishes with steam. Don't think it's a steamer. You can also cook pastries, moreover, complex ones, for example, cake biscuits. Note the fermentation mode - suitable for infusing sourdough for yogurt or dough. In the upper part there is a display and a control panel with a choice of operating mode. It can be used as a microwave without fear that the food will burn or dry out. The chicken is placed inside.

Pros and cons
Nothing superfluous, dimensions
Judging by the reviews, the timer often fails, it used to cost two to three times cheaper
Experts from Komsomolskaya Pravda — Dmitry Dubasov , head of the procurement department at STARWIND and Andrey Trusov , founder and development director of V-Import, spoke about the secrets of choosing the best mini-oven.
Chamber volume
Decide on the desired chamber volume. If you have a small family or plan to use a mini-oven as an additional equipment for preparing snacks, then a volume of 5-8 liters is enough. For families of three to four people, models with a chamber volume of 20-25 liters are suitable, it will be enough to cook one dish. Chambers with a volume of 25-70 liters are needed for large families of 5-7 people. It can cook two dishes at the same time.
Power and maximum temperature
The price will also depend on the volume of the chamber. If you are used to cooking in small portions for one meal, then you do not need a large volume of the oven. But if you need to feed a large family and guests, then you will need a larger oven. However, it should be borne in mind that models with a small chamber volume (up to 18 liters) may not have internal illumination.
Timer, indicator light, and a set of accessories (baking tray, removable grid and removable drip tray handle) are available for all models, regardless of price.

But it's a good option for a family of 2-3 and won't require much storage space. Among the available modes are convection, standard, grill, defrost, biscuits, bottom and top heat.
