Top 10 Best Countertop Convection Ovens for Perfect Baking

Customer Review: “Very nice air fryer. So far we’ve only used it to reheat food. I purchased a silicone liner for the drip tray to help with the cleaning process. I also bought the disposable liners. We’ve reheated fast food fries and they come out well, like they’re fresh from the restaurant. Love the attachments. Reheats fast and does a good job on pizza.”

Customer Review: “We have had our cuisinart for over 7 years and it’s amazing still to this day. We can do everything w/ this air fryer. Reheat, toast, cook, bake, air fry & it is the best. Have had other but no where close to the quality or look of this one. Easy to clean. Even cooking but remember the element is closer to the food so turn down the temp so not to burn like w pastry or for my husband his cookies. 🍪 Love this product & will be buying a new one when necessary but still going strong. As w anything you have to clean it from oils & such to prevent it from getting to hot or burning but that’s common sense. 👍👏😊❤️ we love it, hardly turn on oven anymore unless big meals.”

Customer Review: “This is a great countertop oven, perfect for an apartment or smaller kitchen, a more efficient alternative to your stove oven and probably even a great second oven on those days (Thanksgiving, for example) when you need extra oven capacity. Rather than tell you what you can read from more authoritative sources like Wirecutter and Serious Eats, I’ll just touch quickly on a few things: (1) What it does — and it does lots — it does really well. Baking, roasting, casseroles, you name it, it’s great. (2) It has an astonishingly wide range of things it can do. It has a setting for use as a dehydrator, which is a great way to preserve foods, or make your own jerky. It has a super low setting for proofing bread, for goodness sake! (3) Yes it is a hot air fryer. Not this product’s problem, but there is no such thing as hot air ‘frying.’ Frying, by definition, is done in a hot oil. That’s what gives food that taste you (maybe) love. Frankly, I do not understand this concept of hot air frying. But that’s what people want, so I guess that’s why manufacturers title their ovens with that name. The Breville is as good or better than any competitor as a hot air fryer. Not its fault that’s a useless category.”

Customer Review: “What should other customers know? You probably mean about this Breville and not the other 1000 things that come to mind. The oven rocks. It is shiny. It gets hot. Not too hot. More like what it shows on the lovely LCD when you turn the big knob. That hot, exactly. It is new, so I’m learning the time period that it takes for each type of food. It’s a little different than my last Breville. I had to leave that in the city I fled from. I think the people down the hall knew who I was. I had that one dialed-in regarding how long things were going to take to get cooked how I liked them. The last one was only a couple of years old. It still had a bunch of life left in it, I’ll bet. This new one has a bunch of different shelves. Racks? One of them is even round. Someday I’ll figure out what it is for. In the meantime, I am using it for pizza. Pizza from the grocery store. Not frozen, but unfrozen. I think it could get a tiny bit hotter on the bottom. The cheese threatens to burn – you ever been threatened by a cheese? It’s not great. – before the dough is completely done. I’m hungry. This is my third Breville. I think the first one got dirty and needed replacement. Actually, I have no idea why I replaced it. But I did. Did I mention this one has a big-ish air fryer basket? It does. I wasn’t overly familiar with air frying. The last oven that I had, the Easy-Bake 100 that was here when I moved in, said it was an air fryer. Then again, it said a lot of things. Most of which cannot be repeated on this family forum. It left me with the impression that air frying is just putting things in a basket so they could cook from all sides at once. That’s nothing like the frying I was familiar with. This one has , like, a fan. The fan has a turbo mode. It’s still not like frying. But it does pretty good at ‘air frying.’ Better than the Easy Bake.”

Customer Review: “We love this! We’ve used it for air frying egg rolls and baking things like chicken and cookies. It works great and is a very good price.”

Customer Review: “Works well. The air fry function is good – too good for the waistline. First note, the blackened toast icon is really blackened toast. Try the ‘half toast’ timer setting to start. Second note, it will not fit most pie tins, only ones that are 9″ in outer diameter, including all rims.”

Customer Review: “This BLACK+DECKER 8-slice convection toaster oven has been a workhorse in our kitchen and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. The extra-wide interior easily fits a 9×13 baking pan, a whole 12-inch pizza, or eight slices of toast simultaneously, which is a game changer for family meals. The convection fan circulates heat evenly, resulting in consistently well-browned baked goods, perfectly crisped fries, and golden-brown roasted vegetables without hot spots. We use it to bake, broil, and toast almost daily and it has maintained consistent performance.”

Customer Review: “UPDATE: I previously gave this 2 starts because I thought the oven had stopped cooking properly. Turns out to be a user error. Oven works great! Tip: make sure you put the crumb tray in the right place. I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this on October 19, 2024. I needed very specific measurements because I am working out of a tiny kitchen. The best part of this toaster oven by far, is the fact that it can hold a full size casserole dish no problem. It looks nice. It’s been easy to keep clean. I have really enjoyed it.”

Customer Review: “I’ve had this toaster oven for a year now. It’s been fantastic, so I figured a review might help potential buyers make a choice. I upgraded to this so I could get a 12-13″ pizza in it, and it came with a pizza stone, so that works fine. It pre-heats in 5 min, beating my gas oven by 20 minutes. I use a $1/use rule of thumb for a purchase. This blows that away, I’ve used at least 4x daily for a year, or more than 1,400 times. Of course it does toast, but I’ve literally not turned my gas oven on since I plugged this in.”

Customer Review: “As of this writing we’ve only had this little oven for a couple of weeks and haven’t used it for as wide a range of foods as I anticipate we will but so far we’re quite happy with it. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised at how well toasting English muffins, baking pizza, baking chicken, and roasting veggies turned out. The capacity is good. It’s spacious enough to bake with some of my standard pans (metal. I understand you should about Pyrex in these.)”

Customer Review: “This is an amendment to my prior review which the Toshiba Air Fryer broke down while cooking pizza. I deleted that review since I had trouble amending it for this subsequent review. The Toshiba support center sent me a replacement Toshiba Air Fryer and it is working perfectly with no issues. I air fried fish fillet and it came out crispy on the outside and very moist on the inside. I cooked a frozen pizza and it was cooked perfect crispy crust while the toppings were moist and soft.”

Customer Review: “Its good, big, but it takes too long to preheat and then you have to press start again for the cycle to start.”

Customer Review: “Works great! So pretty with the french doors and deep inside. Love the preset feature, how it turns off automatically. and many cooking options. No more knobs! Press and cook! The guides and suggestions are great!”

Customer Review: “I’ve had mine for over 6 months now and absolutely no complaints!!! Awesome air fryer! I don’t know how I survived without one in my life before! Fits perfectly on my counter top. Super easy to use. The French doors are nice! Extra supplied trays are great to swap out depending on what you’re cooking.”

Customer Review: “UPDATE: We had an issue with our Air fryer about 6 weeks after we got it, I emailed the company, they responded the next business day, and they were very helpful. Solved our problem. I’ve bought several Gourmia products from Walmart, Target, and Amazon and all of them have lasted a long time with no problems at all.”

Customer Review: “I’m thrilled to share our experience with the air fryer, and I can confidently say it transformed our meal prep routine. The best part? It cuts our meal prep time in half! We can now make two dishes simultaneously, which is a huge time-saver. We even made popcorn in under 4 minutes, and it tasted amazing without needing any oil.”

Customer Review: “We love this! It does everything. The air fryer function is rudimentary but works well. Really good bread toaster. So simple, just dials.”

Customer Review: “We bought this to replace our old toaster oven. It works great. We especially like the air fryer mode. It crisps things up in a hurry. It takes some using to learn how to use the controls.”

Customer Review: “In a world dominated more and more by disposable products, fast fashion, ai or no customer service, and end user frustration with having to increasingly lower our hopes and expectations, there is the VAL CUCINA family. Val Cucina stands among us yet apart as a shining beacon of quality and superior customer service like a superhero on a hillside keeping a watch out for the little guy and doing the right thing for a greater good beyond their immediate profit; a move that’s otherwise been lost to a bygone era and corporate greed.”

Customer Review: “I recently upgraded my kitchen with the VAL CUCINA Infrared Heating Air Fryer Toaster Oven. Usually, I don’t leave a review for the product but this time, I would like to share my impression and the experience I had so far. Amazon has a bundled option which is coming with the cutting board. While I reviewed the details of the cutting board, I decided to purchase it for both the oven and the cutting board. First of all, the cutting board is not only for its primary function. On top of it, its heat resistant material should protect the cabinets from the damage.”
