The 7 Best Oster Toaster Ovens in 2021

While Oster brand toaster ovens have a reputation for being some of the best models that can serve a family for years to come, the company has also released a few lemons that are not worth the money along the way. Due to this sad fact, it is not always easy to separate the best from the rest and tell which models fall under which category – and this is particularly true when you’re shopping from online retail stores.

With this predicament in mind, I decided to go out before you, and review more than 50 different Oster toaster oven models to create an ultimate list only filled with the best of the best. From the 50 models, I created a shortlist of the best 20 and ordered all of them to test them and shortlist the list even further to come up with the best 7. Some of the features I kept in mind while creating the shortlist include durability, sturdiness, ease of cleaning, settings offered, ease of use, consistency, safety features, and aesthetics. This further implies that whichever model you pick from the list, you can rest assured that it will meet the needs and requirements of your home as well as your personal preferences.

Without wasting any more of your time, let’s skip to the main section of the post and look at the 7 best Oster toaster ovens money can buy today.

Oster Digital Convection Toaster Oven

• If you’re scouring the internet looking for the best Oster digital convection oven that also qualifies as one of the best retro toaster ovens, then allow me to introduce you to Oster Digital Convection Oven. On your kitchen counter, the tool will look like something straight out of the 60s, but it will perform like something from the future in the toasting department.
• For starters, the unit has been fitted with seven different cooking settings, including pizza, defrost, warm, broil, convection bake, bake, and toast. I personally tested all these settings and they delivered as advertised.
• As you can see from the product’s image above, the unit has also been fitted with an LED display on the top right corner. This will help you adjust the temperature and timer to pick a combination that is ensured to deliver the best results (depending on the meal you’re preparing.)
• Speaking of the timer and temperature, it has been fitted with a 90-minute timer and a wide temperature range of 150 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. After the timer runs down during your cooking sessions, the auto shut-off feature will turn off the appliance and ensure your meals aren’t overcooked. Better yet, if you’re too far from the appliance and do not notice that it has switched off, the unit also retails with a ready signal bell that is loud enough to notify you if you’re anywhere within the vicinity of your home.
• While researching this appliance’s cooking features, I also came across a dilemma that most individuals were caught in. The appliance has been fitted with heating elements of the highest quality, and while that is an advantage because it ensures your meals have been sufficiently cooked, it also has its problems especially if you’ve never cooked with a toaster oven before. If you accidentally input a period that is even slightly longer than required using the timer, you can rest assured that your meal will likely come out overcooked. That’s why the manufacturer fitted this unit with an interior light. This addition will allow you to visually track the cooking progress of your meals. And if you notice through the see-through glass that the meal has been sufficiently cooked, but the timer is still running, you can feel free to switch off the unit and retrieve your meals.
• Inside the package you will receive from Amazon, you will find several accessories including a removable crumb tray and a durable baking pan.

Notable features

• Accessories included in the package from Amazon
• Exterior remains coo to the touch during operations
• Feet are anti-skid on wet surfaces
• Very versatile
• Very powerful
• Boasts an interior light for easy viewing
• The power cord is sufficiently long

Oster TSSTTVDGXL-SHP Toaster Oven

• Are you tired of getting out of your house in a hurry to get to work or school because your meal took too long to prepare? If your answer to that was a big, bold YES, then allow me to introduce you to the unit that will revolutionize your life.
• This Oster TSSTTVDGXL-SHP Convection Oven retails with one of the most powerful convection settings I’ve ever come across. For those who are new to toaster ovens and do not know what a convection setting is, it simply implies that the unit has been fitted with a fan that will blow hot air around inside the appliance for fast and easy cooking. The manufacturer’s site mentions that this convection setting will allow the appliance to cook 40 percent faster than regular toaster ovens, and after extensively testing it myself, I can attest that this point is 100% true.
• What’s more? I’d like to let you know about the first time I came across this appliance. I first reviewed it while creating a guide on the best commercial toaster ovens that could be used in restaurants and hotels. During the testing sessions, it performed so well that I promised myself to always give the product a chance whenever I created a review it thought it would fit.
• One of the things about the unit that surprised me at the time was its power. It delivers 1500 watts and I do not know about your case, but this was more than sufficient to handle the needs of the parties I host in my home. Settings that come with the appliance include toast, bake, turbo convection, broil, warm, defrost, and pizza.
• Inside the package you will receive from Amazon, you will find several accessories including an integrated broiling rack, a baking pan, and 2 oven racks.

Notable features

• Retails from a reputable brand
• Fitted with a turbo convection
• Has a large interior size
• Easy to clean and use
• Fitted with a 90-minute timer
• Auto shut off feature included
• Very powerful

Oster French Convection Toaster Oven

• Do you love hosting parties and are looking for an Oster toaster oven unit that also doubles up as one of the best restaurant toaster oven? If yes, then here is a unit that has been designed with your specific needs in mind.
• I say “restaurant toaster oven” because if the unit can handle the needs and high traffics of a restaurant, then you can rest assured the needs of the parties you host in your home will not stress it out. With that in mind, let’s look at the list of features that helped it qualify for this title.
• For starters, Oster French Convection Toaster Oven retails with a convection baking technology (just like the previous model we just looked at.) This will ensure that all meals are cooked evenly and delivered in a timely manner. That said, you need to remember that not all meals should be cooked using the convection setting. Some meals need to cook slowly for the best results. Here is a guide on how to bake in a toaster oven. This guide will show you the different stages that a convection toaster oven should be engaged.
• As you may have noticed from the product’s image above, it also boasts two racks that provide maximum cooking flexibility. When cooking meals that do not need a lot of heat intensity to be perfectly cooked, place the meal on the lower rack position away from the top heating elements. When preparing a meal that requires a higher heat intensity, however, place it on the top rack close to the heating elements. Another trick I learned while testing this unit’s ability to deliver was that you can even use the two racks at the same time. When cooking light meals and snacks such as cookies, you can use the two racks at the same time because after all, the convection setting will ensure that equal temperature hits all the meals.
• Its single door design will allow you to open both doors using one hand, which will come in handy when you’re holding a meal in your other hand.

Notable features:

• The feet are anti-skid even on wet surfaces
• Has a cord storage underneath
• Fitted with a turbo convection baking technology
• Easy to use and clean
• Fitted with a 90-minute timer and auto shut off feature
• Its two racks provide maximum flexibility
• Very versatile
• Durable and sturdy

Oster TSSTTVVG01 Toaster Oven

• This is the exact model I used back in university for four good years. Even more interesting, I was the only one with a toaster oven among my friends, so every morning, it made rounds in different hostel rooms and toasted up to 100 slices each day.
• Regardless of this weight load, it never slowed down even once, and it always delivered the last slice perfectly and as evenly cooked as the first one it had prepared that day. When I left university, I left the unit to my best friend at the time and according to my understanding, the unit kept working for several more years without a hassle.
• Another thing most of us loved about Oster TSSTTVVG01 Toaster Oven was its ease of cleaning. For starters, the unit comes with a removable crumb tray – and for those of you who do not know what this does, it’s responsible for collecting all the dirt and debris that fall off of your cooked meals. To clean the crumb tray, all you ought to do is take it out, empty its contents into a bin or sink, and wipe it off using a clean, damp cloth. For the thorough, once-a-month cleaning sessions, it won’t stress you out either.
• The tool’s interior has been covered with a non-stick material that will allow you to effortlessly wipe off any dirt inside. Here is a detailed guide on how to clean the interior of a toaster oven. The whole process will take less than 10 minutes.
• If you’re a fan of retro designs, I’m also confident you’ll love its classic design. After it arrived from Amazon, I placed it in multiple kitchens, and it effortlessly complimented all of them.

Oster Extra-Large Countertop Toaster Oven

• Do you have children in your household and all you care about is investing in a cooking appliance that ensures they will be safe from any injuries? If yes, then this Oster Extra-Large Countertop Oven was designed with your specific needs in mind.
• During my test sessions, I toasted using the appliance form more than three hours straight and the unit’s exterior surfaces didn’t get hot even one bit. We have to thank the insulation for this. The insulation has another advantage. Since the heat inside the oven section does not reach the outer surfaces of the appliance, it will get contained inside the oven space, which results in faster cooking times. Couple this with the turbo convection heat technology the appliance delivers, and you have one of the fastest toaster ovens out there today.
• Let’s touch on its durability and sturdiness. During my online reviews, I came across hundreds of people on different forums claiming that they had been using the exact model for years and it had never run into any issues. Two of the reviewers even pointed out that their unit had been knocked down by their children countless times and that hadn’t affected their units’ ability to deliver either. with that in mind, if you’re also scouring the internet looking for an Oster model that also qualifies as one of the best durable toaster ovens, then this is the unit for you.

Notable features:

• Retails from a reputable brand
• Fitted with a turbo convection heat technology for faster cooking and even browning
• Easy to use and clean

• The stainless-steel build will ensure the unit’s durability

Oster Compact Countertop Toaster Oven

• My daughter walked in on me while I was reviewing this appliance and basically begged me to order it as she had fell in love with its design. The truth is, I do not think I would have placed the order if it wasn’t for her, but since she had begged me to, I was going to. My back up plan was that if I didn’t like the appliance’s performance, then I’d wrap it up as a gift for my daughter on her upcoming birthday (do not judge me – after all, she is the one who wanted the toaster oven in the first place.) That said, the fact the unit made it into this enumeration means that its performance more than exceeded my expectations.
• Oster Compact Countertop Oven fried all my favorite fired meals with 99.5 percent less oil (as it had promised in its description.) Better yet, I was under the impression that since the unit would cook with less oil, that the meal’s taste wouldn’t be that great, but I was wrong. The air fryer setting included in the unit ensured all my oilless meals were crunchy, delicious, and most importantly healthy. I could even confidently argue that meals fried with this appliance were way tastier compared to those I had cooked using my regular toaster oven.
• Other settings included in the appliance are broil, bake, toast, and convection. These coupled with the 60-minute timer and wide temperature range (up to 450 degrees F) will ensure that it can handle anything you throw in it.
• If you have a small space, you’d like to use to place the toaster oven on your kitchen counter, then this appliance compact nature will leave you in awe. It measures 9.8 x 16.65 x 9.8 inches. It also fit in a small section I had set aside for it on my kitchen counter.

Notable features:

• 5 settings included to improve its versatility
• Retails with an auto shut off feature
• Turbo convection included
• Boasts a cool to the touch exterior
• The air fry settings deliver healthy and delicious meals

Oster Convection Countertop Toaster Oven

• The last, but by no means the least Oster toaster oven in our detailed review is the Oster Convection Countertop. I placed the unit on my kitchen counter when I was done testing it and everyone who walked in there after that had something to say about the unit’s unique color combination. So, if you are looking for a unit that will leave all your guests in awe, then this model could be what you are looking for.
• It didn’t disappoint in the toasting department either. When the unit first arrived from Amazon, I decided to test its consistency, and to do that, I went out, bought 45 loaves of bread, and decided to toast every single slice back-to-back using the unit (I did this without letting the tool rest.)
• What were the results? Well, the fact that the unit made it into this high-end review implies that they matched all the standards we talked about in the introduction section of the post. The last slice to go inside the unit came out just as perfectly and evenly toasted as the first one to go in. It also delivered each batch of slices in less than 2 minutes, which easily makes it one of the fastest toaster ovens out there today.
• Other meals I perfectly prepared using this appliance include casseroles, whole chickens, a tortilla pizza, Miso glazed salmon, toasted ham, brie, and apple sandwich, single-serving peanut butter cookie, and a lasagna toast.

If I were to pick from the enumeration above, I’d pick the first, Oster Digital Convection Oven as my favorite Oster toaster oven from the list.
