Looking for recommendations for a new toster oven!

Breville!!! It may cost a bit more but so, so worth it. I got the middle sized one and was so impressed with it, and realized I would never have to use my stove again, so I returned it and got the large one so it would fit my largest casserole dish. It does everything it's awesome. It's a convection oven, bakes, broils, toasts, warms. I love it!!!

I was called out on this, returning a used appliance, rightly so! So let me clarify. I actually sold it to my nail tech. She gave me free refills until she paid me for the full purchase price. I don't know why I didn't say that in the first place. It does sound rather tacky!!

We have a Breville, also. It's a great little toaster oven. It was kind of expensive, but I think it was worth it.

We LOVE this oven!  Almost NEVER use the full-sized one anymore.  And when you pay for a quality appliance, it lasts so much longer.  Our planet can't handle so much junk continuing to fill our landfills when cheapie appliances break after a few months.  If you can afford to get the Breville, I'm almost positive you will be very glad that you did!

My dh just bought a Breville TO he found on sale at WOOT. We had an old, rickety Black and Decker toaster oven, but it was too small--a friend of mine's kitchen burned down because of this toaster, so we had to constantly double check that we didn't leave it plugged in. We also had a Cusinart 4 slot push down toaster, but then we had to heat up the oven just to cook a pizza. Dh wore that unit out as well.

I'm really impressed with how many things you can cook in this Breville. It even broils. Dh really likes how sensitive the toaster settings are. 

I agree that you get what you pay for. 8 years ago, I spent a bit more money for the Cusinart Griddler instead of the plain panini press. We love this workhorse, and it's still going strong. It's so easy to clean--plates pop off and are dishwasher safe--we use it all the time. 

I have a Black & Decker TO. It's also a convection, toasts, bakes, broils. Love it. Use it daily. Life saver in the summer because I don't have to heat the house up with the big oven.

We went through two Black and Deckers that lasted about ten years each. Loved them. 

Then, a year ago, we bought our third Black and Decker, and we hate the damn thing. It heats unevenly, and burns 40 % of everything we try to toast. 

Thanks for the heads up, you guys. When this one dies (hopefully many years away), maybe I'll look at something else. I don't where I'll put it, though! My counter is already full.

Breville. We have the small one and bought it to replace a Black and Decker. Love it! The footprint is good, and it is so much better than old toaster ovens. You can add time, vary settings, and the baking is reliable.

Am I reading this correctly?  You purchased a new toaster oven, went home and used it, and were so impressed with it that you took it back to the store and bought a larger model?   I usually  "gift" the one I just purchased to one of my children or friends.  Did not know a store would let you return something that had been used unless it was defective.

Well I kinda misspoke. I actually sold it to my nail tech. She gave me free refills until she paid me for the full purchase price. I don't know why I didn't say that in the first place. It does sound rather tacky!!

I also love the Breville. I replaced our old rickety Black & Decker - which lasted about 13 years - with the small Breville and we love it. We roasted Hatch Chiles in it last night, have baked cookies, made toast...I swear this thing can bake/broil/grill anything. Love the Breville.

Wow! I love the love for Breville. Justifies my spending so much for a toaster oven!!!!!
