 I've been using thrift store toaster ovens for the last few years but I'm considering buying a new one for safety reasons.
Are there any really good toaster ovens out there? Brands and model numbers would be appreciated.

I recently purchased a Cusinart TOA-60. It's a Toaster/convection oven and air-fryer. So far I have been impressed with the air fryer feature. French fries come out crispy, without oil. Although you can give them a light coating of oil if desired and they'd come out even crispier. And everything cooks much faster than with a regular oven. One down side is the racks and pans are not dishwasher safe. Hand wash only. I've had it for about 2 weeks. So far so good.

 Recently bought a Breville Mini Smart Oven. Works nicely thus far. Expen$ive. The selector knob is somewhat "loose." The baking timer automatically starts countdown upon finishing the auto preheat cycle. I prefer to preheat a bit longer so have to reset the timer. Includes a dark porcelain-coated pan which browns biscuits too much. I kept the aluminum pan from my previous Walmart/GE which works better, although it's smaller. 1,800 watts so technically requires a 20amp circuit. CLICK HERE TO GO TO DADoES's LINK | ||

Thanks to all responders I'll take a look at the Breville because I keep hearing how great their smalls are. My thinking is more in line with petek's; I'm looking for something that's more like the compact toaster ovens of yesterday, not the expensive counter-top ovens that seem to be the norm these days.
Ideally, I'd love something like those old GE/B&D models with the continuous cleaning insides. Now THAT was a good use of the old flawed catalytic continuous cleaning technology that wasn't so hot with big ovens. | ||

Panasoinc FlashXpress I've always been intrigued by these, but not intrigued enough to pay full price for a new one. If I ever find one at a yard sale it's mine.
Anybody ever used one? CLICK HERE TO GO TO IowaBear's LINK | ||

The thing I DON'T like about these machines is they are HARD to keep clean.You can't take off the doors to clean them.So the few I have sit in the back shelf of the closet.Use a regular toaster and oven instead-esp my Advantium. | ||

Flash Express
Yes I have one.. I bought this one for my mother 9 or 10 years ago now and she loved it and used it daily for toast and cooking her fish . That's saying something because my mother was NOT a gadget person but she loved this little oven. When she went into the home 5 years ago I kept it... it's a little scruffy looking now around the edges but it still works fabulously..
I don't think there's a toaster oven out there than can make two even four slices of toast as fast as this thing can... it heats up instantly so you don't have to preheat or anything... Soon as it quits I'm getting another.. it's well worth the $100 bucks or so imo.

I have this one, and really like it. It's compact enough not to take up too much room on the counter, toasts well and bakes well.

GEVersatronic I have a GE Versatronic that I have been using since 1980, best $100.00 spent for a toaster oven the liner is removable and the so are the door and back, all dishwasher safe. Rack has two positions and a sensor. I never broil in it knowing the mess it would create. | ||
