Looking for a new countertop Convection Oven - Any recommendations?

I just checked out a Breville, but it was so small. Anybody have a rec for a large capacity model? I don't need rotisserie function. Thanks!

There is a compact Breville Smart Oven, and a regular sized Breville Smart Oven. The regular size holds full sized pizzas and 13x9 pans. Buying the regular sized oven was one of the best purchases I have ever made. It is well made and seems like it will last forever. It is expensive but worth it.

Amazon. The Big Boss. It is similiar to the NuWave turbo but better quality. It is glass and can be put in the dishwasher. It has a large enough diameter to put a big pie plate in or frozen pizza. It comes with several accessories which includes a shallow screen pan that is perfect to do frozen French fries, fish sticks, etc. I bake, air fry, reheat, etc. in mine. It takes far less time than the regular oven, and not much more time than a microwave and you can use metal pans in it. I have tried several brands of this type (NuWave, Sharper Image, Aroma), and The Big Boss has the best features, is the best size and it comes with the best accessories.

I have the newest Kitchenaid convection oven. I love it! Heats up fast, and it's beautiful!

I have the full-size Breville Smart Oven. It's really an excellent convection oven, has intuitive features, and it's extremely easy to clean. It's not inexpensive, but it's well worth every penny of its cost.

My mother & aunt always had a Farberware. Don't know if they still make them. Lasted forever and I believe my aunt still uses hers.

Thank you all, Ladies. Knew I could count on your honest opinions. And you've confirmed that the Kitchenaid and Breville are best...just didn't know there was a bigger Breville. Now - what to choose, what to choose? Thanks again.

I have an Oster... It came in two sizes, but I opted for the smaller due to limited counter space. It's my second one. I gave the first to my mother, but it worked wonderfully.

This is an easy one for me as I have the Breville and the Cuisinart Steam Oven and the only time I use the Breville is when something does not fit in the Cuisinart and if Cuisinart made a larger size (now it bakes a 12" pizza nicely) I would get it in a heartbeat and probably sell the Breville.

The Cuisinart heats more quickly and it can steam and bake at he same time or simply steam or super steam and 5 or more other functions. In regards to heating quickly it requires no warmup time.

Cuiriously enough I tried the WP pressure oven for a second time, this time from BB&B and I returned it again.

I have a Hamilton Beach large size counter top oven. It is a toaster oven, convection oven, and it is also a rotisserie, too.

There are two models of the Breville counter top oven. I have the larger one and it will hold a lasagna pan/turkey. I love it! It will do as much or as little as you want it to do. It also heats at a higher wattage so simple items like baked potatoes get done in no time at all. Yes, it is pricey but it is well made and worth it.

I have the larger one and as I said previously I hardly ever use it since I got my Cuisinart Steam oven which I like over the Breville for several reasons, not the least being it cooks in the steam bake mode faster than the Breville and thus I save electricity. It is great also not having a "warm up time". It will not cook a 5lb chicken however and in the stores near me that is the smallest size available so I use the Breville or even more likely my NuWave clone.

I hope Cuisinart decides to make a larger version and if so I will be first in line to get it..

I really like the 3 yr warranty ..

The Breville countertop convection oven is wonderful, just like others have answered already. I use mine all the time. And it's large inside-you won't believe the size of casseroles you can fit in it.

I thought they pulled that Puck convection oven because of all the smoking and fire problems. Maybe - hopefully! - there was more than one model and that was just one particular model. Some scary reviews with people having not only a lot of smoking but some caught on fire and destroyed counters and cabinets. yikes! It was a TS, some time back, and it was bad news.

I'm still loving my Calphalon XL Digital Convection Oven. I did a lot of research back, a couple of years ago, when I was looking and it came down to pretty much that one and a Breville brand. But there were quite a few negatives with the Breville brand that were concerning, so I went with the Calphalon. I could not be more happy.

It's not small, that's for sure - probably almost as large as my 1200W microwave (Sharp), but I didn't want anything tiny since I planned to use it as an extra, but smaller and using less power, oven. It holds a 9x13" baking dish. But I'm fortunate to have a lot of counter space. Also, I wanted something of integrous construction because the spot where I wanted to put it is under some cabinets.
