Breville Smart Oven Compact BOV670

4.6

$169.95as of Jun 7

The Breville Smart Oven Compact BOV670 is the best toaster oven under $200, bringing Breville's Element iQ even-heat system and 8 one-touch presets into a compact footprint. America's Test Kitchen has long made the Breville Smart Oven family its top pick, and the compact version delivers that even baking and toasting in a smaller cavity. It's the priciest pick here and lacks a true air-fry mode, but for everyday toast, bake, and roast it's the most polished.

Strengths

— Element iQ sensors steer heat across 5 quartz elements for even baking — Breville's signature even-cook system
— 8 preset functions (Toast, Bagel, Bake, Broil, Pizza, Roast, Cookies, Reheat) on a clear dial-and-display interface
— Compact 0.5 cu ft interior still fits a 12-inch pizza or 4-slice toast and a roast chicken

Watch-outs

— At ~$200 it's the priciest pick in this under-$200 lineup
— No dedicated air-fry basket mode like the Cuisinart and Ninja picks
— Smaller cavity than the Toshiba 6-slice for big-batch cooking

Ranked #4 in Best Toaster Ovens Under $200

Toshiba AC25CEW-BS Convection Toaster Oven

4.2

$99.97as of Jun 7

The Toshiba AC25CEW-BS is the best value toaster oven and America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy: a large 6-slice convection oven with 10 functions, a rotisserie kit, and 6 accessories for around $100. ATK found it "did a great job with almost every task," and third-party testers gave its convection pizza and crust 9.1-9.5/10. The console is fussier than the Breville's and it has no air-fry basket, but for capacity and features per dollar it's unbeatable.

Strengths

— America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy — "did a great job with almost every task" for the lowest price tested
— Large 6-slice cavity fits an 11-inch pizza or a 4-lb chicken
— 10 functions including a rotisserie kit — rare at this price

Watch-outs

— Console is trickier to navigate than the Breville's
— Broiling capability is limited
— No dedicated air-fry basket mode

How they stack up

Breville Smart Oven Compact BOV670

The most polished and most expensive pick. The Cuisinart TOA-60 and Ninja Foodi SP101 add a true air-fry basket for less money but cook less evenly; the Toshiba AC25CEW holds more food for far less; the Hamilton Beach 31156 is a simpler toast-first machine.

Toshiba AC25CEW-BS Convection Toaster Oven

The capacity-and-features-per-dollar champion: holds far more than the Breville Smart Oven Compact BOV670 or the compact air-fryer picks, and includes a rotisserie kit none of the others have. Cooks less evenly and with a fussier console than the Breville; no air-fry basket like the Cuisinart TOA-60 or Ninja Foodi SP101.
