The 6 Best Mini Toaster Ovens in 2021: Tried and Tested Models

Most countertop toaster ovens I’ve come across are simply variations of the same cheap but decent machines – built by related manufacturers in similar factories and using the same core components. The 6 toaster oven models we’ll look at in today’s enumeration, however, stand out from these masses of low-cost clones simply because they look better and retail with several useful features that I’m confident you’re not used to.

With that in mind, let’s skip to the main section of the post and look at the best 6 mini toaster ovens money can buy today.

Breville BOV450XL Toaster Oven

• I won’t lie to you. The first thing that attracted me to this masterpiece from Breville was its aesthetic design. I saw the appliance by chance while visiting a fellow cooking enthusiast’s home and promised myself that if I ever created a relevant review, I’d give it a chance to see if it qualified. Well, needless to say, the fact it made it into this enumeration proves that its performance exceeded my expectations. The unit has been fitted with 8 cooking functions, including reheat, cookies, roast, pizza, broil, bake, toast, and bagel. I do not know about your situation, but these are more than sufficient to handle the needs of my family.
• As you will notice right away when you visit Breville BOV450XL Oven’s product page on Amazon, the unit also retails with Smart element IQ heating elements. These have some of the highest quality in the market today and can deliver perfectly cooked and evenly toasted slices in less than 3 minutes. Better yet, couple these heating elements with the 1800 watts of power the appliance delivers, and you have one of the fastest toaster ovens in the market. The high level of power will allow it to handle anything you throw in it.
• There is another thing I ought to mention about the 8 cooking functions. They are all pre-set, which means that when you select one of them, the appliance will automatically adjust the timer and temperature to the levels that ensure great results. As you may have been already told, this will be really useful if you’ve never used the settings before and would like some time to familiarize yourself with what they can do.
• What’s more? It retails with a one-year limited product warranty. This is there to prove you that Breville has faith in the unit they’re selling – because if it runs into any issues within the first year, they’ll have to replace it for you at no extra cost.

Notable features:

• Has a non-stick interior cavity coating
• Very powerful
• Boasts heating elements of the highest quality
• Easy to use and clean
• Has a cool to the touch exterior
• The power cord is sufficiently long
• Compact to save on kitchen counter space

Dash DMTO100GBAQ0 Toaster Oven

• Dash DMTO100GBAQ0 Oven’s unique selling proposition is obvious the moment you land on its product page on Amazon. The unit retails in four different colors namely, Aqua, Pink, Red, and Yellow. This makes it the perfect gift because if you love your model and have a loved one’s wedding or party coming up, you have a higher chance of getting it in the recipient’s favorite color.
• It doesn’t disappoint in the toasting department either. When the package arrived, the first thing I did was go out and acquire 35 loaves of bread. My goal was to toast all the slices using the appliance back-to-back without letting it rest. What were the results? Its performance exceeded my expectations. The last slice to go in came out just as perfectly and evenly toasted as the first one to go in. Also, all the slices were toasted in a way that the outsides came out crusty, but the insides remained soft and warm.
• Just like the Breville model we just looked at, this appliance has also been backed by a 1-year manufacturer’s guarantee. Most importantly, inside the package you will receive from Amazon, you will also find a recipe book, access to a different recipe database, a removable crumb tray, an oven rack, and a baking tray. From the list of accessories above, the one whose advantage I ought to mention is the removable crumb tray. This part of the tool will collect all the dirt and debris that fall off of your cooked meals, making your cleaning sessions shorter and easier. To clean the crumb tray, all you ought to do is take it out, empty its contents into a bin, then wipe it off using a damp cloth.
• That said, from time to time, you’ll want to thoroughly clean your kitchen from top to bottom. The Mini Toaster Oven won’t be a hassle to clean during those times either. Here is a detailed guide on how to clean the interior of your toaster oven.

Notable features

• Retails in four different colors
• Compact to save on counter space
• Feet are anti-skid even on wet surface
• The package from Amazon will come with extra accessories
• Very versatile
• Powerful
• Durable and sturdy
• Cooks faster than regular toaster ovens
• Perfect gift option

KONKA Mini Toaster Oven

• This KONKA Mini Toaster Oven is arguably one of the most flexible toaster ovens in the market today. Thanks to its 86 – 446 ° F temperature range, you can easily adjust the perfect time and temperature to toast, broil, bake, and even keep food warm (depending on what you’re trying to prepare.) In addition to that, you can also adjust the appliance’s temperature to the “Dried fruit” setting to prepare dried vegetables, dried jerky, and dried fruits.
• What’s more? The package you will receive from Amazon will include one instruction manual, one baking clamp, a baking pan, an iron grid, and of course the KONKA Mini Toaster Oven. All these will greatly improve your flexibility in the kitchen. Another feature worth noting is its 60-minute timer and auto shut off setting. You’ll set the duration you want your meal to be cooked and it starts the moment you put your food inside the appliance. And when this time runs out, the appliance will automatically switch off to avoid overcooking. If you’re far away from the appliance to retrieve the meal, it will also let out a ready bell signal that you’re guaranteed to hear if you’re still somewhere inside your house.
• The only downside I found on this masterpiece is that its exterior surface gets slightly hot during operations.

Notable features:

• Extra accessories have been included in the package
• Fitted with a 60-minute timer and an auto shut off feature
• Has a wide temperature range
• Boasts a sleek compact design
• Easy to use even for total beginners
• The power cord is sufficiently long
• Lightweight and portable
• Durable and sturdy

BALMUDA Toaster Steam Oven

• I think you’ll agree when I say that an alternate title for this guide would be “The Best Aesthetic Toaster Ovens.” That’s because like all products we looked at above, this BALMUDA Toaster and Steam Oven will leave anyone who walks into your kitchen space in awe. It also retails in three different colors (namely black, grey, white) which further improves your chances of getting the appliance in a shade that will complement your kitchen’s interior décor.
• Now let’s look at the unit’s toasting ability. The toaster oven has been fitted with a revolutionary interior design that will work just like a convection toaster oven. This means that unlike a convection toaster oven that retails with an inbuilt fan for blowing hot air around, this masterpiece has an interior that has been naturally designed to push the hot air equally in all directions.
• Couple that with the five modes the appliance retails with and you have one of the most reliable toaster ovens. These modes include oven mode, pastry mode, pizza mode, sandwich bread mode, and artisan bread mode.
• Another feature of the appliance worth noting is its sturdiness. Since I acquired it a month ago while reviewing products for this guide, the appliance has been knocked around by my daughter several times, but that hasn’t affected its ability to deliver greatly even one bit.

Notable features:

• Delivers delicious meals
• Versatile
• Compact to save on counter space
• Boast a natural convection design
• Easy to use and clean
• Sturdy and powerful
• The interior is non-stick

DULPLAY Toaster Oven

• If you’re not into futuristic designs and are simply looking for a toaster appliance that promises to deliver, then this DULPLAY Toaster Oven could be what you’re looking for. The unit’s design looks like something straight out of the past, but its performance will easily rival that of the best high-end toaster ovens.
• Better yet, my best friend and neighbor uses this unit, and when I asked him about its performance, he pointed out that if something ever happened to the one, he had now, he would purchase an identical model. I think that’s other words for “This unit has never disappointed him.”
• During my testing sessions, I also noted that it retails with a cool to the touch exterior. This implies that regardless of how long the appliance stays in operation, its exterior surface won’t get hot. This, in turn, protects anyone in your household from sustaining any serious burn injuries after coming into contact with the appliance. Note though, that the cool to the touch feature doesn’t include the oven racks. You’ll need to ensure you put on some oven mitts while retrieving those from your toaster oven.

Notable features:

• Accessories included in the package from Amazon
• Easy to use and clean
• Boasts a simple design
• Has a cool to the touch exterior
• Fitted with an auto shut off feature and a ready bell signal
• Very powerful
• Lightweight and portable

MaxiMatic ETO-113 Toaster Oven

• This is the toaster oven that introduced me to the realm of cooking. So, if you’re looking for a mini toaster oven that also qualifies as one of the best easy to use toaster ovens, then this could be what you’re looking for.
• The unit retails with a see-through glass door, which came in handy for me because I had no prior experience at the time. For that reason, if I saw through the appliance’s glass door that the food inside was sufficiently toasted, I could go ahead and turn off the appliance without having to wait for the timer to run out.
• MaxiMatic ETO-113 Oven has also been fitted with 650 watts of power that allows it to handle anything you throw in it. What’s more? Inside the package you will receive from Amazon, you’ll also find a wire rack, bake pan, and a removable crumb tray.

• Sufficiently powerful to handle anyone’s needs
• Versatile
• Fitted with a 15-minute timer and an auto shut off feature
