Best Cuisinart Toaster Ovens of 2026

A 9-by-13 pan, a 13-inch pizza, two loaf pans, a 12-cup muffin tin: the 0.95-cubic-foot interior is why the Chef's Convection exists, and it's the largest cavity among the drop-down-door ovens here. If the countertop oven is really your second oven — the thing you roast a chicken in on a Tuesday — this is the Cuisinart that behaves like one instead of like a toaster that bakes.

Fifteen functions is the headline, but Speed Convection and Dual Cook are the ones that matter: moving air in a cavity this small browns faster than a full-size oven and lets you run two racks without swapping them halfway. The pitch behind the price is Exact Heat control, meant to hold the set temperature through a long bake, which is where cheaper ovens drift. We also noticed the kit is fuller than anything else here — a 13-inch pizza stone, two racks, a 9-by-13 enamel pan, and a broiling pan.

The exterior gets hot enough during a long bake that you want air behind it and nothing stacked on top; that's normal for convection at this size, and it's worth arranging once rather than fighting later. Otherwise it's a straightforward machine to own, with a front crumb tray, a nonstick interior, and a three-year limited warranty that matches the top pick's.

Eighteen and a half inches deep and 16.25 inches tall is the first number to check, because the TOA-112 is a big appliance in a countertop oven's clothes. If it fits, the 0.90-cubic-foot interior is the closest thing here to cooking a family dinner without turning on the range: a 13-pound turkey, nine slices of toast, four pounds of wings, or a 13-inch pizza.

The IntelliTemp probe is what separates it from every other Cuisinart on this page. Setting a target temperature for a roast and walking away changes how often you reach for a countertop oven — it stops being a reheat box and starts being the thing you cook in. The 2-in-1 baking pan with a removable divider is a smaller, smarter touch: two foods, one pan, no mingling.

We wish the warranty matched the ambition. Cuisinart covers this one for a year while the top pick and the Chef's Convection get three, and on the most expensive oven in this group that's worth knowing before you commit the counter space. Register it the day it arrives and keep the receipt somewhere findable.

Eleven and a half inches wide and 12.5 inches deep: nothing else in this group comes close, and in a small kitchen that single number settles the purchase. It's roughly the footprint of a four-slice toaster with an oven's cavity behind it, which is why it keeps turning up in apartments and small rentals.

Inside is a 450°F oven with six functions — air fry, toast, convection bake, convection broil, pizza, and warm — plus an oven rack, baking pan, and air fry basket, and a three-year warranty that outlasts the extra-large model's. Two and a half pounds of wings or an 8-inch pizza is the realistic ceiling: fine for one or two people, a non-starter for four.

We think of it as a second oven or a first one for a small kitchen, precisely because it doesn't try to be everything. Used for toast, a couple of pork chops, a tray of vegetables, or a small pizza, it earns its counter space; bought to feed a family, it means running two batches.

French doors on a countertop oven sound like styling until you use them: they swing out and stay where you put them, so you load a hot pan with one hand while the other keeps hold of it, and there's no glass door hanging over the front of the counter while you baste. Cuisinart calls the door seals HeatSeal and the one-hand opening DualSync; the names are marketing, the convenience isn't.

Seven functions, 1800 watts, and 0.6 cubic feet put it in the same territory as the top pick, and we're glad to see an interior light at this size — you can watch browning without opening the door and dumping the heat. The controls are knobs, which we prefer on an appliance that lives near flour and greasy fingers.

The thing to know before you buy is toast. Dense multigrain bread needs the top shade setting and still comes out lighter than a slot toaster would make it, so if toast is the main event, the top pick is the safer choice. For air frying, roasting, and pizza — the reasons most people want one of these — the doors and the light are what you'll notice every day.

This is the least expensive air fryer combo in the group, and to us it doesn't read as a cut-down version of the others: 1800 watts, four heating elements, a top-mounted fan pushing heated air at up to 450°F, and the same 0.6-cubic-foot cavity as ovens that cost more.

Seven functions cover air fry, convection bake, convection broil, toast, bake, broil, and warm, and the cavity takes a 12-inch pizza or cookware up to 9 by 11 inches. That last figure is the one to weigh: a 9-by-13 pan, the standard for casseroles and sheet-pan dinners, doesn't fit, so this stays a small-household oven however capable the fan is.

We think it's the right buy for someone who wants air frying, toasting, and pizza from one box and doesn't need the extras. The rest of the group earns its extra money on capacity, controls, and what comes in the box; if none of those matters to you, this one saves you the difference.
