Recommendations for a Small Roaster Oven

Any recommendations for a smaller size countertop electric roaster oven? I'm looking for something to cook a goodly size turkey breast or spiral cut ham in. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

@06greatwife.  Ive had several counter top ovens and think Breville is the Cadillac of ovens.  It'll hold a 9X13" (without handles)pan and will accommodate a turkey breast.

I love my Oster French Door.  The inside width is 15 1/2".  I have the pre-air-fryer model and I'm glad.  I prefer a separate air fryer.  Convection is not as strong as air frying (without getting into the weeds).  My only real complaint is I wish there were more options for rack placement.

I would recommend a Breville convection oven.  I have had 2 and I just love them.  I gave my first one to my son that didn't have the convection when I bought the convection one.  I don't think you will be sorry.

At home I use an Emeril 360 convection French Door and love it. In the camper we use the Ninja Convection Double Door countertop-I just used it to make our T-Giving dinner a couple of hours ago, it did a great job of cooking different items and bringing them to the table together.

@06greatwife   I agree with @Icegoddess that the Oster XL French door countertop oven I bought from QVC is excellent.  It holds large casserole dishes and full size pizzas easily.  I've critiqued it here before on other threads in much greater detail because i liike using it so much.

 

I've had it for about 4 years and it works reliably well.

 

I also have a Nesco roaster that will cook a turkey weighing up to 22 pounds or a really large ham.  It too, iis well made and I've had it for I'd guess around a dozen years or so.

 

Hope this helps you find the appliance that suits your needs.

Another vote for Breville--I have one that I use instead of my big oven--got it 2017 and it still does the job. I use my big oven to store all my baking supplies---mine isn't wide enough for a 9 x 13 pan however----got it from AMZ too--tomorrow is Cyber Monday--maybe it will be on sale--think I paid about $250 or more---

During this season many stores sell roasters specifically designed for turkeys and hams. They are always under $100 and pretty much all the same. I started out with several Nescos in various sizes but my favorite.(Nesco 25-30 yrs old finally died). Rival is one brand that comes to mind.
