6 Best Toaster Ovens of 2022
We updated this article in November 2022 to ensure the information reflected current prices, features and more. Our original top-rated picks selected by the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab remain the same except for new picks from Cuisinart and KitchenAid.
Toaster ovens take up minimal space, can replace several kitchen appliances like your toaster and air fryer (Check out these combo air fryer toaster ovens!) and shorten cooking times, especially when you use the convection setting. In addition to toasting bread and bagels, they can cook whole chickens and roast vegetables. Since most toaster ovens don’t require preheating, they’re great for the summer months when you don’t want to heat up your entire kitchen with your full-size oven. They're also energy efficient and use as little as half the energy of a conventional oven.
In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we've tested about 60 toaster ovens in the past 10 years. We test to see which ones can produce the most even, golden brown toast in the shortest amount of time. We also melt cheese on open-faced sandwiches, bake cakes and air fry chicken wings if there is an air fry setting. Here are our top picks for the best toaster ovens you can buy in 2022 based on testing.

How we test toaster ovens
In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we've tested about 60 toaster ovens in the past 10 years.
Good Housekeeping
A well-performing toaster oven should be able to toast multiple slices of bread evenly. For our most recent test of more than 20 toaster ovens, we toasted more than 500 slices of bread to evaluate whether a toaster oven cooked evenly.
Good Housekeeping
We also check for evenly cooked baked goods as well as the ability to broil steak and melt cheese on open-faced sandwiches.
Good Housekeeping
For toaster ovens with air fryer functions, we test how quickly and evenly they crisp up chicken wings and frozen French fries. We also evaluate toaster ovens based on their design quality, user manuals, control panels, ease of use, number of rack positions, interior visibility, audible alert and cleanability.
What to look for when shopping for a toaster oven
✔️ Space: Consider how much room you have as well as what you want to use the oven for. If space is not an issue, dream big: Ovens like the Breville Smart Oven Air and the June Oven can fit a small turkey. If space is an issue, there are many compact ovens on the market, like the Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp, that can still fit six slices of bread at one time, or a 13-inch frozen pizza.
✔️ Design: Since your toaster oven will most likely live on your counter, aesthetics are important.
Digital toaster ovens with stainless steel housings are typically sleeker and more modern looking than their mechanical counterparts.
✔️ Rack positions: Most toaster ovens have two rack positions, but the largest have three. The added rack position allows for even more cooking versatility and usable space, especially for air frying or dehydrating. As a general rule of thumb, the uppermost position is used for broiling, the middle is used for toasting bread and baking and the bottom is used for cooking large roasts or pizzas.
✔️ Accessories: Most toaster ovens come with at least one rack and a baking/broiling pan. (Note: a heavier baking pan means less warping over time.) Most toaster ovens now come with a removable crumb tray that is dishwasher safe, too. Being able to toss them in the dishwasher is very important: Dishwasher-safe parts help with toaster oven maintenance by preventing caked-on gunk from building up.
✔️ Additional features: Some toaster ovens come with an air frying basket/rack, others with pizza stones or rotisserie spits and many include an interior light that helps you see inside without opening the door. We found this feature to be very useful and were also pleased with toaster ovens that had large, glass doors for the easiest viewing.
✔️ Settings: Toaster ovens come with a variety of different settings and functions. While some may only have a few such as toast, bagel, bake, broil, pizza and reheat, others like the June Oven have over 200 settings including convection, air fry, dehydrate, grill, slow cook, proof, roast and warm just to name a few. If you're specifically trying to replace a few different kitchen appliances with one, make sure that the toaster oven you purchase can perform the certain functions you are looking for.
Which is better, a microwave or toaster oven?
Toaster ovens and microwaves can be used interchangeably for kitchen tasks like reheating leftovers or melting butter and both can live on your countertop as a fixture of your kitchen.
A toaster oven utilizes a heating element to brown and toast food similarly to an oven. A microwave heats water molecules using electromagnetic waves, cooking food from the inside out. While this doesn't in a browning effect like a toaster oven, it is often faster. Ultimately, both perform very different functions and create different results because of how they operate.
If you cook a lot of popcorn, want quickly steamed vegetables and need to defrost ingredients, a microwave will be your best bet. However, if you are looking to bake golden cakes, toast multiple slices of bread at once and broil steak for a quick lunch, a toaster oven is a good choice. Because of their different strengths, many people have both kitchen appliances in the home.

The Best Toaster Ovens (2022), Tested and Reviewed
The most notable feature on the Panasonic was the double infrared heating, which significantly speeds up cooking times. Our bread reached a deep tan color in only two minutes, and frozen pizza emerged crisp-edged and melty on the preset pizza setting. The cookies were nicely browned on the bottom but had to be removed earlier than the recipe specified due to the oven’s accelerated “abilities.
” While the Panasonic roasted chicken beautifully, the sputtering of fat did create a concerning amount of sizzle and a little smoke too. (That might’ve been partly our fault, as we didn’t follow the manufacturer’s instructions to wrap meat in foil before cooking.)
There’s only one groove for positioning the wire rack, which took the guesswork out of where it should go for different cooking functions. Another nice feature: The rack is connected to the door, so it pops out automatically when you check your food, eliminating the need to pull it out with your oven mitt–clad hands.
There are some persnickety things about the Panasonic that take getting used to: The temperature is in Celsius and Fahrenheit but clearly favors Celsius, as there are settings for 355ºF or 390ºF, not the more standard 350ºF or 375ºF. The timer only goes up to 25 minutes, so if you want to cook anything for longer, you’ll need to set it more than once, which was the case when roasting chicken. Through several years of testing the Panasonic has maintained its status as our favorite smaller, more affordable toaster oven—but only by a hair. It's top competitor, the Hamilton Beach Stainless-Steel 4-Slice Toaster Oven, had an interface that was easier to navigate. The Panasonic relies on buttons with imagery of the food it suspects you’ll be making (e.g., toast or frozen pizza) and arrows that allow you to adjust brownness, time, and temperature. Hamilton Beach uses intuitive, no-nonsense dials for selecting temperature, function (toast, broil, bake), and time. Ultimately though, it came down to performance. For example, it took nearly 20 minutes to bake cookies from frozen balls of dough in the Hamilton Beach model versus just 14 in the Panasonic. In general the Hamilton Beach was efficient, browning slices of toast evenly and quickly, but the Panasonic was just that little bit better.

How we tested
A toaster oven can bake, roast, broil, defrost, and, of course, brown bread.
To evaluate these multitasking functions, we prepared the following foods:
Toast
We started by toasting two slices of bread on each machine’s medium setting. Immediately after the first round, we filled each toaster’s rack to maximum capacity (four to six slices, depending on the size of the oven) to see how evenly the bread browned in two different-size batches, and if residual hot air in the oven affected the second round. We also timed how long it took to toast the bread on the medium setting. If it toasted quickly and well, the machine earned points. If it took significantly longer than average or delivered subpar results, that was cause for demerits. But most of all, we were looking for a machine that toasted consistently.
Pizza
We cooked personal frozen pizzas following the instructions on the box. If an oven had a preset “pizza” setting, we used it. If it didn’t, we set the temperature controls manually, or used the broiler setting. For the machines that did not have preheat settings, we heated each for five minutes before baking.
Cookies
We made chocolate chip cookies from scratch, portioned them out and froze them overnight. Then we baked four to a rack the next day. For both the pizza and cookie tests, we used the baking sheets that came with the respective toaster ovens.
Chicken
For those that performed well in the first three tests we roasted a chicken thigh and leg, simply coated in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper.
Air frying
In the machines listed as air fryer–toaster oven combos, we also attempted to crisp up tater tots and chicken tenders.
What we looked for
We wanted an oven that could handle back-to-back rounds of toasting without burning and produce even color on both sides of the bread. When reheating frozen pizza, we wanted a crispy bottom, evenly melted cheese, and a browned crust. For the cookies, we wanted melty insides, golden exteriors, and crispy edges. When roasting chicken, we looked for crispy, golden skin and juicy meat that was cooked throughout.
We considered its efficiency, ease of use, design, and aesthetics.
Other toaster ovens we tested
Until being unseated by the Breville Joule, the Breville Smart Oven Compact Convection was our long-reigning product test winner thanks to its consistency, ease of use, and thoughtful features (like a Fahrenheit-to-Celsius converter, a button that tells the oven you’re cooking something frozen, and an indicator that shows you how long the cooking or toasting cycle will be, so you aren’t waiting for who knows how long for your toast). It toasted bread evenly and without incident, though in order to achieve color, we recommend setting it a notch or two past the medium setting of four. It took three and a half to four minutes to brown, well within range of the other countertop ovens we tested, with toasting times that varied from two to five minutes. It produced consistent results in other tests too: cookies were golden on top with browned bottoms and soft interiors; frozen pizza had evenly melted cheese; and chicken was roasted to crisp-skinned perfection.
The Breville gave the user more control than any other toaster oven we tested, save the Joule. The digital display asked questions to help fine-tune the task at hand, like how many pieces of toast we were making and how dark we wanted them. Buttons and dials telegraphed their functions clearly, and written cues on the oven door indicated where to place the rack depending on what we were making. True to its name, this is a smart machine that helps you avoid burning your food. The oven features an intelligent mechanism (Element IQ) that self-adjusts the heat if, say, you’ve put bread to toast in an oven that’s still hot from a previous job. Once cooking is done, the oven gently beeps and turns off automatically, eliminating any chance of food overcooking. Breville claims that the “smart” aspect of its oven is what keeps the heat regulated and even, as sensors are continually adjusting to maintain the appropriate temperature for the task at hand, whether it’s manual or preset. With a footprint of of 15x17x10, the compact oven is big enough to bake an 8x8 pan of brownies, cook a 12-inch pizza, or a roast a generous piece of salmon, but small enough to be reasonably discreet.

How to choose a good quality toaster
At first glance it seems that all toasters are the same and it is enough to take the first device you like. But not everything is so simple. To figure out which toaster is better to buy, consider its main characteristics:
✔️ Number of toasts. Commonly available devices for 1, 2 or 4 slices of bread. Most toasters are designed to make two sandwiches - suitable for families of up to 5 people.
Devices for 4 toasts have two control units for making bread with different degrees of toasting.
✔️ Power. The speed of bread roasting depends on it. The higher it is, the faster the bread will brown. Most toasters have a power of 700 to 1300 watts, but there are devices with an indicator of 1.5 kW for two and 2-2.5 kW for four toasts.
✔️ Useful features. When deciding which toaster is best to choose, pay attention to additional modes and functions. The best models have an adjustment of the degree of baking of bread - this feature allows you to get toast with any level of roasting. At the minimum level, the toast looks underdone, and at the maximum it can become covered with a black crust. The "Cancel" button will be useful for quickly turning off the toaster. The "Heating" mode will help you quickly heat up the cooled toasts, and using the "Defrost" function, the device will prepare a toast from frozen bread. The best toasters boast an automatic centering feature, which is essential for toasting bread evenly.
Another useful feature is the “extra-rise”, which will help you remove small slices of bread from the appliance, for example, sandwich toast.
The cost of the device also matters when choosing. We suggest choosing models on YandexMarket, where you will find the best prices for toasters - there are many offers from different stores, so you can choose the best option for your budget.
Top 10 best toasters: rating of 2022
Here we will tell you about the best models. Spoiler: look at the number of holes for bread and do not forget about the different modes: defrosting, stopping and heating bread.

Toaster for 4 toasts, what else can I say.
Frisky, with good defrosting. Why is he in 8th place?
Because users complain, and repair services will ruin that the device is very unreliable, roasts bread unevenly and beats with current (although the problem is probably in the ground).
Just a matter of taste: it gets dirty easily, heats up during the heating of the bread so that you can take out the toasts only in the oven mitt. Life hack: a 4-slot toaster normally expands to a 6-slot one - you can throw half of the bread in excess of the norm into each compartment.
