I am looking for a small toaster oven under $100.00 that is easy to keep clean. Anyone have a good one?

@m0rgan We've been very satisfied with Cuisinart toaster ovens. Most of them are above $100 but you might find one on sale.

We find that they last a long time for an electric applicance.

I'm pretty sure that Black and Deckers are reasonable. For me, I've bought that brand and other pricier models and the first thing to go ( for me) is the toaster function. I now have a Kitchenaid for about 3 years and the toaster function went. I've decided until the bake function goes, I'll have a regular toaster sitting next to it.

@m0rgan

Let me share with you my mistake ....

I've always had a toaster oven, and thought they were all pretty much the same.

The last one I'd had for years, and when it died I bought a Black & Decker. I thought it's a good name, on sale, and what else do I need to know?

Well, what I didn't realize is that the Settings need to be VERY readable.

My previous toaster oven had settings that lit up, making Bake, Toast, or whatever very easy to read.

The B&D oven has very small print on the Settings and no light on the panel. Apparently, people with even excellent eyesight had trouble! (I later read reviews.)

That means if I want to set it for anything, I need to pull out my lighted magnifying glass to read and set the thing.

To be clear, it's definitely functional, but that's not enough anymore.

You can be sure that when this one dies, I will never make that mistake again. My Settings panel will be well-lit and have a readable font.

That's my two cents on the topic.

@Tinkrbl44 It's why I always read the reviews & view "real customer" YouTube reviews PRIOR to purchase. Never hurts to see & watch the product in action.

@m0rgan Hamilton Beach toaster oven/air fryer, @$70 at Target. Had mine for several years with no problems. Toasts, bakes, broils and air fries.

@Mz iMac,

I usually do, too, but this was a minor purchase of a top brand.

When I needed something that day, a two-year warranty seemed like enough of a safety net.

Live and learn, lol.

BREVILLE has the best toaster ovens, but i dont think any of them are under $100. hooked on them now.

prior to that we loved black and decker toaster ovens.

@sunshine45 - I agree about Breville toaster ovens. I had one for several years and when it died, I bought another the next day. They are pricey - mine was $250 at Macy's.

I bought the Breville Mini Toaster oven for the small size...when it died, bought another one because I loved it and use it every day for something!

Can someone please comment on why they think Breville is a very good toaster. I've never heard of this brand!

TIA.

@Tinkrbl44 Breville has been around forever. Stores like Macy's, BBB, Kohls, Penny's carry their products. I do own their juicer and use it everyday. It holds up pretty well but had to replace it once. Tried the toaster oven but felt it got to hot on the outside and returned it after one use. Don't remember the model.
Something like a toaster oven is an investment. Purchasing one and using it before a return date would hopefully give you the time to see if you are pleased with it. They should have a one year warranty.

I see Breville at Williams Sonoma and Sur la Table. I have wanted one for years and may finally be ready to get one. I have never had a toaster oven. I didn't see the need for it but now it just seems handy.

I have a Breville "toaster" oven--but it is an everything oven and I use it as such. Don't use my big oven anymore except to store my baking items in. But it was more than $100. and I've had since 2017 and still works great.

What is there about a Breville? Everything an oven can do!

Most cheaper ovens less insulation and heat from the botton only.

Breville Ovens are just a smaller oven. You can regulate the heat. Has 4 heating strips and controls the heat like a regular oven. I use mine every day for something!

They have "resets" and really hold that temp! I have learned to use "reheat" and it works great!

@Sakuya

I first bought a toaster oven because it could toast 4 pieces of bread and has become my go-to for many things I would ordinarily have had to use the large oven for.

Very handy little appliance!

@m0rgan You can get a countertop convection oven for under $100. They all have "toast, bake, pizza, steak/meats, reheat, warm, convection & 1-3 hour timer" (mine is 3 hrs) functions. There's probably some I left out.

Mine is 13 yrs old & still going strong. Brand name: Emerson

I purchased from Home Depot. Who knew?

Get the wood cutting board that sits on top of the oven too. It has rubber feet, and you can put hot food on it. It's also the Breville brand. I like my little Breville oven. The pans all seem sturdier.

Before my Breville I got my oven from Target. It worked good, I gave it away for the Breville. It was the Gourmia brand and it's on sale now, putting if under $100
