by Editors of 3Luxe.com
Editors at 3Luxe.com choose top products in several categories after doing independent research, which consists of reviewing published studies, tests and reviews of the product in question. Editors rarely… test products themselves, however. The three winning toaster ovens are the T-Fal Avante Elite, Krups FBC-4 and Cuisinart TOB-195. A brief description of each is given, which consists mostly of features rather than pros and cons.
by Editors of Real Simple magazine
The Krups 6-Slice Digital Convection Oven FBC2 is the all-around winner. Editors praise its "fast-acting" coils and heavy racks. The second-place finisher is a surprise: Ginny's Brand Toaster/Toaster Oven… JW63309, which is discontinued. (Ginny's is a Wisconsin-based catalog and Internet retailer.) Winners and runners-up are also selected for best toaster oven for big jobs and best toaster oven buy. Although we're sure editors examined these toaster ovens in person, they don't explain their testing methodology or discuss models that didn't make the grade. Although the majority of these models are discontinued, the two that are still available remain popular choices.

The best-reviewed toaster oven at Amazon.com with a significant number of owner-written reviews is the Cuisinart TOB-195 Exact Heat Toaster Oven/Broiler. The T-Fal Avante Elite also receives high scores… from a large number of owner reviewers. Also well-reviewed with a large number of comments are the Oster 6293 and the Krups FBC-2. The Black & Decker TRO964, however, gets a low rating from dozens of users who complain of burnt food.

Buzzillions.com collects owner reviews from other sites. Reviews are categorized into pros and cons and can be sorted by several criteria, including newest, most helpful and highest rated. For toaster… ovens, there are many models listed, but most have only a few reviews, and this site isn't as helpful as Amazon.com. The Krups FBC2 and Hamilton Beach 31197 stand out with the highest ratings among those reviewed most often. The Sanyo SK-7S, Cuisinart TOB-30BW and T-Fal Avante Elite also get good reviews.

by Editors of ToasterOvensGuide.com
This toaster oven guide explains convection heat as well as differences in wattage. Reviews of several toaster oven models are also included, each with a brief description of features and a list of… advantages and disadvantages. The priciest models get the most favorable reviews. Editors say that the Cuisinart TOB-155 doesn't have any disadvantages to speak of. Several models here have been discontinued.

Wired often posts short reviews of appliances, complete with testing. They generally aren't comparative, however. For the Hamilton Beach Countertop Oven with Convection and Rotisserie 31197, Wired's Danny… Dumas says that it is the "best unit if you don't have a standard oven" and explains that it does a good job of cooking a whole chicken. It doesn't do as well with toasting plain bread, however, and it takes up a lot of space.
