Best Toaster Ovens with Convection 2026

Plenty of toaster ovens slap "air fry" on the box and deliver glorified convection. The TOA-60 isn't that. We loaded 12 chicken wings onto the rack — crowded, the way you'd actually cook them — and they came out with real crunch. Not the pale, soft result you get from a regular oven. Frozen fries were done in 14 minutes and didn't need flipping. Breaded shrimp browned evenly, no soggy patches. It's not quite as aggressive as a dedicated basket-style air fryer, but it's close enough that you won't miss having a separate machine taking up counter space. The 0.6 cubic foot interior handles a 12-inch pizza or a whole small chicken. Seven cooking functions cover the basics without overwhelming you. The controls are physical dials — you turn them, things happen, no touchscreen to fumble with when your hands are covered in flour. One thing to know: the exterior gets genuinely warm during use. Don't push it flush against your cabinets. Give it a few inches of clearance on all sides. At $199, it's the right call if you're currently running a toaster oven and an air fryer as two separate appliances.

Best for: Anyone who wants to consolidate their air fryer and toaster oven into one capable countertop appliance.

Once you're cooking for four or more people, the other ovens on this list start feeling small. The Ninja Foodi XL Pro doesn't have that problem. We fit two 12-inch pizzas side by side with room between them. A full sheet pan of roasted vegetables — the kind you'd normally commit a real oven to — slid straight in. A 5-pound chicken sat with clearance on all sides. Capacity is the whole point here, and it delivers. The convection fan is noticeably strong; preheat was faster than both the Cuisinart and the Breville, and browning stayed even all the way to the edges of the sheet pan. Air fry results are solid — on par with the TOA-60 — and the bigger interior means you're not stuck cooking wings in two separate batches. The flip-up design is the other thing worth mentioning. When you're done, the oven folds up against the wall and your counter comes back. It feels awkward the first couple of times. By day three it's automatic. Cleanup is straightforward: non-stick interior, sheet pan and rack both go in the dishwasher. $249 isn't cheap, but for a household that cooks real meals every day, it pulls its weight.

Best for: Families of 4–6 who need large-capacity cooking and want air fry capability in the same appliance.

Seventy-nine dollars. That's what this costs, and it's a convection oven that actually works. We weren't expecting much — budget appliances in this category usually disappoint — but the TO3250XSB surprised us. Toast came out even. Cookies baked without burnt bottoms. A 9x13 dish of roasted potatoes browned properly, not just on the edges. The convection fan makes a real difference over non-convection models at the same price; you can see it in the results. Eight cooking functions handle everything you'd realistically need day-to-day. The dials are physical and simple — there's nothing to figure out. The interior fits a 12-inch pizza or a 9x13 baking dish, which makes it a solid secondary oven when your main oven is occupied. It's not precise. Temperature can drift a bit, and you'll want to check on things a few minutes early the first couple of times. The build quality is plastic-heavy and feels it. There's no interior light. But none of that matters much at $79. If you're new to convection cooking or just need something reliable without spending real money, this is the one.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, first-time convection oven owners, or anyone needing a reliable secondary oven.

The FlashXpress doesn't have a convection fan. Instead it uses two types of infrared heating — near and far — that work simultaneously from above and below. The practical effect is speed. Real, noticeable speed. Toast is done in about 60 seconds. Frozen waffles crisp up in under two minutes. A slice of cold pizza reheats in three minutes with a bottom crust that's actually crispy, not soggy — which is something most toaster ovens genuinely struggle with. We tested it back-to-back against the BLACK+DECKER on pizza reheating and it wasn't close. The FlashXpress won every time. The tradeoff is size. The interior fits a 9-inch pizza and not much else. Don't plan on roasting a chicken or baking a full batch of cookies in here. It's a machine built for fast, everyday tasks — toast, reheating, frozen snacks — and at those tasks it's the best we've tested. The six presets are one-touch and accurate. The digital timer is precise. Cleanup is easy. At $99 it's a smart buy for anyone with a small kitchen, a dorm room, or an office break room that deserves better than a microwave.

Best for: Small kitchens, singles, dorm rooms, or anyone who prioritizes speed and crispiness over capacity.
