The Cuisinart TOB-195 Convection Toaster Oven is praised in both professional and user reviews for its ability to quickly and evenly toast, bake and broil. Reviewers particularly like the quiet convection fan and the nonstick interior walls, but wish the crumb tray pulled out the front rather than the back. Experts say the Cuisinart does a good job of maintaining accurate temperatures, but users point out that the handle gets very hot. Many users also praise the Cuisinart's ability to toast bread better than other toaster ovens. If you prefer a more affordable convection toaster oven, the Hamilton Beach Set & Forget with Convection Cooking 31230 (*Est. $95) receives consistent praise in professional reviews.
