6 Best Smart Toaster Ovens of 2026

Unlock incredible cooking potential even in cramped kitchen quarters with the Breville BOV450XL Mini Smart Oven. This compact powerhouse features the proprietary Element iQ System, leveraging five independent quartz elements and smart algorithms to direct 1800 watts of power precisely where needed, ensuring remarkably consistent results whether you’re toasting bagels or baking cookies. It’s engineered to solve the common urban dilemma: how to achieve oven-quality cooking without sacrificing precious counter space.

Performance testing reveals this mini oven punches above its weight class. Its fast 1800 Watt preheat minimizes waiting, quickly reaching temperatures suitable for its 8 cooking functions. While designed for small batches, its 16.1 x 14.2 x 10.4 inch exterior cleverly fits 4 toast slices or an 11-inch pizza, handling diverse tasks like broiling tuna melts or roasting small portions with surprising efficiency, though its modest internal volume limits larger roasts.

Positioned as the premier compact smart oven, the Breville BOV450XL excels where size is paramount. It offers Breville’s signature precision technology in a footprint significantly smaller than the larger Breville BOV860BSS or the voluminous COSORI 32Qt model. While it lacks the air frying capabilities of newer models, its focus on precise, traditional oven functions delivers exceptional quality for its size, offering superior control compared to many basic toaster ovens in a similar category.

The Nuwave Bravo Pro distinguishes itself as a versatile kitchen workhorse, perfectly blending the functionality of a smart toaster oven with advanced air frying capabilities. Its standout feature is the highly customizable heating system, allowing users to adjust the top and bottom heating elements from 0-100%, offering unparalleled control over cooking zones, ideal for achieving that perfect pizza crust with melted toppings. This level of granular control addresses the user pain point of uneven cooking often found in multi-function appliances.

In practice, the Bravo Pro’s performance is bolstered by a new high-speed fan design, promising significantly faster air circulation for quicker, crispier results across its 10+ cooking functions like Air Fry, Bake, and Dehydrate. The 21 QT capacity comfortably accommodates family-sized meals, fitting a 12-inch pizza or a 4-lb chicken, while its ability to maintain temperature differences between layers to just 0-1°F ensures remarkably even multi-layer cooking, though maximum capacity for air frying might require batch cooking depending on the food type.

Targeted squarely at families needing versatility and capacity, the Nuwave Bravo Pro offers a compelling feature set. It provides a larger cooking volume than the compact Breville BOV450XL and features dedicated air frying absent in the Breville BOV845BSS. While it doesn’t offer the APP/Voice control of the COSORI 32Qt, its precise temperature control and customizable heaters provide a different kind of ‘smart’ interaction focused directly on cooking technique, delivering strong performance for its size category.

Offering a budget-friendly entry point into the world of smart toaster ovens with air frying, the Nuwave Bravo provides impressive control without the premium price tag. Its core smart functionality lies in the ability to adjust top and bottom heating elements independently (0-100%) and make on-the-fly adjustments to time and temperature mid-cycle, a feature that empowers users to fine-tune cooking outcomes without restarting, directly tackling the frustration of needing minor corrections during a cook.

This 21-Qt model delivers solid performance across its 10 preset functions, from air frying crispy snacks to baking and roasting. The 1800-watt system with convection ensures efficient heating, and the precise 5°F temperature increments from 50°F to 450°F allow for careful cooking control. While it matches the capacity of the Bravo Pro, it may lack the enhanced fan performance of the newer model for ultimate crisping speed, but reliably handles standard family-sized portions like a 12-inch pizza.

Positioned as the value leader, the Nuwave Bravo provides a feature set remarkably similar to the slightly more expensive Nuwave Bravo Pro, particularly in its customizable heating and capacity. It offers significantly more capacity and air frying than the compact Breville BOV450XL at a comparable price point. While it doesn’t boast the extensive smart home integration of the COSORI 32Qt, its manual smart controls offer excellent functionality and value for users prioritizing cooking flexibility on a tighter budget.

Step into the realm of premium countertop cooking with the Breville BOV860BSS Smart Oven Air Fryer. This appliance is a titan of versatility, combining Breville’s renowned Element iQ system with dedicated air frying and Super Convection technology that reduces cooking time by up to 30%. Its intelligent algorithms and PID temperature control eliminate cold spots, delivering exceptionally precise and consistent results across 11 cooking functions, making it the go-to for ambitious home cooks tackling diverse recipes.

Performance is where this Breville truly shines. The large 18.9 x 16.5 x 10.9 inch interior cavity is spacious enough for a 13-inch pizza or even slow cooking with a 4.4 qt Dutch oven, while the powerful Super Convection fan ensures rapid, even heating, crucial for achieving that desired crispy texture in air-fried foods like chicken wings or fries. The integrated interior light is a thoughtful touch, allowing easy monitoring of progress, though its size demands significant counter real estate.

As the flagship premium offering, the Breville BOV860BSS sets a high bar for smart toaster ovens. It offers a more refined cooking experience with superior temperature stability and faster convection compared to the Nuwave Bravo Pro, which also features air frying but with less uniform heating. While it lacks the APP/Voice control of the COSORI 32Qt, its build quality, precise Element iQ system, and powerful air frying capabilities justify its position, offering a level of performance and consistency that surpasses many competitors.

The Breville BOV845BSS Smart Oven Pro is a highly capable mid-range option that brings Breville’s signature precision and convection cooking to the forefront. Featuring the intelligent Element iQ system with five independent quartz elements, it smartly directs 1800 watts of power for precise and even heating across its 10 functions. This model particularly shines with its dedicated Slow Cook function, offering up to 10 hours of low-temperature cooking, addressing the need for tender, flavorful results without using a separate appliance.

In terms of performance, the Smart Oven Pro utilizes a standard convection fan to reduce cooking time by up to 30% compared to conventional ovens, circulating hot air efficiently for baking and roasting. Its generous 18.5 x 15.7 x 11.1 inch interior accommodates family-sized meals, including a 13-inch pizza or a full roast chicken, fitting a 4.4 qt Dutch oven for slow cooking. The LCD display provides clear feedback, though the convection system is less powerful than the ‘Super Convection’ found in the Air Fryer model.

Positioned as an excellent mid-range smart oven, the Breville BOV845BSS offers Breville’s core technology and capacity without the added cost of air frying found in the BOV860BSS. It provides a larger cooking volume and more advanced controls than the compact Breville BOV450XL. While it doesn’t offer the APP/Voice control or air frying of the COSORI 32Qt, its reliable convection, Element iQ precision, and unique Slow Cook function make it a strong contender for users prioritizing traditional oven functions and low-and-slow cooking.

Introducing a new level of connected convenience to the smart toaster oven category, the COSORI 13-in-1 stands out with its APP and Voice Control capabilities. Integration with Alexa and Google Assistant via the VeSync app allows for hands-free operation, remote monitoring, and access to customizable recipes, revolutionizing the user experience for those seeking ultimate modern kitchen technology and addressing the desire for seamless smart home integration.

Beyond its connectivity, this appliance is a cooking powerhouse, boasting a massive 32 Qt capacity capable of fitting a 13-inch pizza, 9 slices of toast, or even a rotisserie chicken using the included accessories. With 13 versatile functions including Air Fry, Dehydrate, and Ferment, powered by four heat elements and a 2-speed fan reaching 450°F, it promises to cook meals up to 30% faster than traditional convection ovens, offering robust performance across a wide range of culinary tasks.

Dubbed the best overall smart toaster oven, the COSORI distinguishes itself with unique features not found in competitors. Its vast capacity and smart home integration via APP/Voice control surpass the panel-controlled Breville and Nuwave models, including the large Breville BOV860BSS and Nuwave Bravo Pro. While its core cooking technology might not offer the Element iQ precision of Breville, its unparalleled connectivity, size, and functional diversity provide exceptional value and convenience, making it ideal for large, tech-savvy households exploring multiple cooking methods.
