My Oster oven is failing:  oven no  longer goes up to set degrees and has 'hotspots'.

Bought it on Q years ago and have used it daily, so guess I got my money's worth:womanfrustrated.  Seldom, if ever, use my stove's oven, so the Oster must be replaced asap!

Q's got a good price on the Ninja double oven; I've also looked at a Cusinart on Amazon.  Also a Consori on Amazon got my attention. Previous to my Oster, I've had 'cheaper' models that never worked too well, nor lasted very long.

So, I'd appreciate your advice/reco  mmendations, your pros and cons, etc.  I'm lost without a funtioning counter-top oven, but would appreciate with something smaller than the Oster.

TIA

Breville is a great one.

try Ninja--I have a Breville but with no air fryer --it has a convection feature that I use often to brown the top of things. I will check out Ninja when my Breville goes kaput---Hopefully not for a few more years--got it in 2017 and use it all the time --never use my big oven anymore except for storage.

I have and love my Oster French Door oven.  I've heard Cosori is a good brand, but don't know much about the brand otherwise.  No idea about their ovens.  I did look at the Ninja double oven to replace my air fryer, but I didn't like that the functions were set depending on whether you were using the top or the bottom.  So, I settled on the Ninja Combi.  There are some functions that require something on the bottom that depresses a button, but other than that most of the functions work regardless of the configuration.  Sear is one of those functions, but I don't expect my oven to do everything, so I think that's a dumb function to have in an oven.  I do all my searing on the stove. 

I got it mostly to replace my air fryer and it's done a very good job of that.  It's easier to clean than my previous air fryer and it seems to cook quicker, plus I can see the food cooking.  I also plan on using the proof function as well as steam bake for bread, but that may not be your thing. The footprint is definitely smaller than my Oster.

I got a Breveville from QVC years ago.  The first one I got was a dud but they replaced it and it's been going strong ever since.  Breville and Ninja are my two favorite brands for small appliances.

I have both a Breville and a Ninja. If you air fry more then get the Ninja. If you toast,etc. more than the Breville. Either are good. Check the sizes to make sure you have counter space. The Ninja I have you can stand on it's side for storage which is great since I have limited counter space.

I have a Breville and love it!

We're on our second Breville.  Ours air fries and we use that feature almost daily.  Love it and it's so versatile.  We don't use our stove oven at all now with just two of us and we use the Breville for everything

I have an Emeril in the house and love it, it is used almost daily. We have a Ninja dual oven in the motorhome and like it as well though we have only used a dozen times-it's still fairly new to us. I don't love the toasting feature on either of them but they do great with airfrying, broiling and general heating.

@Meowingkitty.  Ive had a Breville Oven for a number of years.  Despite its claims, it is not an air fryer and doesn't really function as one.  I've never thought using the fan function changed the quality of the baking function at all. 

Mine is also failing.
