The 6 Best Microwave-Toaster Ovens Combo Today: Buyers’ Guide in 2021 1

While working on a magnetron production for the United States Army during World War 2, Raytheon employee and physicist, Percy Spencer realized that a candy bar inside his pocket had melted. The gentleman hastily filed a patent for his invention based on that strange accident, and that’s the day the microwave was born.

Today, these units retail in a wide range of colors, power, size, and function options – and as you will see in today’s guide, some companies have even managed to combine the functionalities of these appliances with those of toaster ovens and created a microwave-toaster oven hybrid.

With that in mind, I went out, reviewed the best 6 models I could find, put them to the test, and brought them to you. This implies that all you have to do now is go through the post and pick the one you think will best meet your needs and requirements. What’s more? If at the end of the post you’re having a hard time making a final, educated decision, I’ve also included my favorite pick from the list in the conclusion section.

Without wasting any more of your time, let skip to the main section of the post and look at the best microwave toaster ovens money can buy today.

Panasonic NN-CD87KS Microwave Toaster Oven

• If I am being totally honest with you, the first thing that attracted me to this Panasonic NN-CD87KS model wasn’t its ability to deliver. It was its unique design that can complement any kitchen interior. And I know that from experience because when the tool arrived from Amazon, I placed it in different kitchen spaces, with different interior decors. The next thing I tested on the appliance was its consistency and power. To do that, I went out, acquired more than 40 loaves of bread, and toasted every single slice back-to-back using the appliance and without letting it rest.
• What were the results? Well, the fact it made it into the first position in this enumeration implies that its performance exceeded my expectations. The last slice to go in came out just as perfectly toasted as the first one to go in.
• Better yet, it doubles up as one of the best air fryers. And if you do not know what an air fryer does, it works as its name suggests. Instead of deep-frying your meals, the appliance will use air to do it. But don’t let that fool you into thinking that the meals delivered won’t be as delicious as those prepared using your regular toaster oven. In fact, this unit offered some of the crispiest meals I’ve ever had.
• If you live in a small apartment or would simply like to save on space so you can have the freedom to include more kitchen appliances, then this Panasonic NN-CD87KS Microwave Oven has also been designed with your needs in mind. Thanks to its size measuring 22 x 13.4 x 17 inches (with a 14.2” turntable), this stroke of genius fit perfectly on the small cabinet space I had set aside for it.

Notable features:

• Compact to save on space
• Very aesthetic
• Versatile
• Durable and sturdy
• Easy to use and clean
• Includes the convection technology
• The power cord is sufficiently long

LG LTM9000ST Microwave Toaster Oven

• LG LTM9000ST Toaster’s unique selling proposition is obvious straight out of the box. As you can see in the product image above, the tool has also been fitted with two dedicated slots you can use to toast your slices. But don’t let the fact they’re riding on a toaster oven sway you into thinking their performance cannot meet your standards. During my testing sessions, they delivered my toasties in a way that the outsides came out crusty, but the insides remained soft and warm. These slots could easily rival some of the best two-slice toaster ovens. What’s more? These slots are backed up by 800 watts power and 9 browning levels that will accommodate everyone’s taste in your household. Use the first level to deliver slightly toasted slices and the 9th level for the crispiest results.
• Now let’s talk about the oven department that has been fitted with 6 auto cook options, including auto cook and defrost, popcorn, reheat, a clock and a timer. When you couple these settings with the high-quality heating elements the appliance retails with, you have one of the best reliable toaster ovens.
• That said, this also means that you need to be careful while using the highest temperature level as it can easily burn your meal. In fact, if you’re preparing a meal you’ve never prepared using a microwave toaster oven before, I usually suggest that you start with a slightly lower temperature level. This way, if the timer runs out and the meal is still undercooked, you can simply put it back and cook it some more. But if you use the highest temperature setting but the meal comes out overcooked, there won’t be much you can do to rectify the situation.
• Let’s top off the list of features with the fact that it has been backed by a one-year manufacturer’s warranty. This further shows you that the manufacturing company has faith in the model they’re selling you.

Notable features

• Powerful
• Easy to use
• Versatile
• Backed by a one-year warranty
• Easy to clean
• Includes a child lock for safety
• Has a sleek design

Toshiba EC042A5C-BS Microwave Toaster Oven

• If like me, you’re stuck in the past and are looking for a unit that also qualifies as one of the best retro toaster ovens, then this Toshiba EC042A5C-BS could be what you’re looking for. This unit’s simple design makes it look like something from the 50s. Having said that, that doesn’t mean that the unit cannot deliver in the cooking department. In fact, it has arguably been fitted with some of the most futuristic features compared to the other models in this enumeration.
• Some of these features include a child safety lock. A power-saving eco mode, a warm hold function, a one-touch popcorn button, as well as a preprogrammed sensor menu for optimum results when preparing popular foods like vegetables, frozen pizza, and more.
• It also retails with a removable crumb tray that makes it easy to clean. The crumb tray is designed to collect all the dirt and debris that fall off of your cooked meals. And to clean it, all you need to do is take it out, empty its contents into a bin or sink, and wipe it off using a damp cloth. Couple that with the non-stick interior and you have one of the best easy to use toaster ovens in the market.

Notable features:

• Retails from a reputable brand
• Easy to clean
• Has a retro design
• Boasts lots of futuristic features
• Safe to use around children
• The feet are anti-skid even on wet surfaces
• The power cord is sufficiently long

Cuisinart CMW-200 Microwave Toaster Oven

• This guide on the best microwave toaster ovens would be incomplete without at least one masterpiece from Cuisinart. In fact, if you’ve checked out my guide on how to pick the best toaster oven, then you remember that I mentioned one of the best ways to separate the best from the rest is to classify the units according to their manufacturers.
• With that in mind, Cuisinart is a leading American home appliance brand founded in 1971 by Carl Sontheimer. Over the years it has been in existence, the brand has become best known for its ability to deliver some of the most durable units, and this Cuisinart CMW-200 model is no exception. As a matter of fact, when you visit the product’s Amazon page, one of the first things that will grab your attention is the fact it has been backed by a 3-year limited warranty. If that doesn’t prove that it’s one of the most durable toaster ovens, I do not know what does.
• It is also extremely easy to use, and the package will include a manual guide as well as a recipe book. If you’ve never used one of these appliances before, I recommend you first stick to the recipes, and then over time, you can begin customizing them to your liking.

Notable features:

• Retails from a reputable brand
• Backed by a 3-year limited warranty
• Fitted with 9 reset options
• Delivers 1000 watts of power
• Compact to save on kitchen counter space
• An instruction and recipe book included in the package

Galanz GSWWA16S1SA10 Microwave Toaster Oven

• Are you tired of leaving your home in a hurry and getting to work or school late because your breakfast took too long to prepare? If yes, then this Galanz GSWWA16S1SA10 Oven has been designed with your needs in mind.
• The unit has been fitted with a true convection setting, which implies that the inside of the appliance boasts a fan that will blow hot air around while cooking for faster and even cooking. This setting allowed me to toast slices in less than three minutes, which is as fast as some of the fastest toaster ovens. Better yet, this setting performs exceptionally well when broiling and baking meals that need direct heat, such as oven-baked goods, chicken, or fish.
• As you will see on the product’s page, the tool also boasts a sensor cook and a sensor reheat feature. This means that an inbuilt humidity sensor has been fitted inside the appliance to ensure that your meal is never over or undercooked. For meals that have already been cooked, the sensor reheat will automatically switch off the appliance when the meal is hot and ready to eat.

Notable features:

• Boasts a unique design
• Very futuristic
• Fitted with a true convection technology
• Allows you to air fry with little to no oil for healthier meals
• Easy to use and clean
• Retails from a reputable brand

Equator Combo Microwave + Toaster Oven

• This stroke of genius has the perfect combination of power, durability, size, and reliability. It has also been fit with all the necessary functionalities and more, including a child safety lock, and presets for veggies, pizza, and popcorn.
• What blew my mind even more about the appliance was the memory function and auto cook setting. The auto cook will allow you to input the weight and type of food, which will in turn automatically adjust the appliance’s timer and power level to ensure great results.
• The memory function, on the other hand, will allow you to program and save your cooking functions so you do not have to input the same settings over and over again every day. If these two settings do not make this unit one of the best modern toaster ovens, I do not know what will.
• Equator Combo Microwave + Oven has also been fitted with an easy-to-use digital panel that will allow you to adjust the timer and choose between an oven and a microwave.

Notable features:

• Has futuristic settings
• Durable and sturdy
• Very powerful
• Compact to save on kitchen counter space
• Easy to use around children
• Aesthetic
