Black+Decker CTO6335S vs Oster TSSTTVMNDG-SHP-2 Toaster Oven Side-by-Side Comparison
Black+Decker CTO6335S vs Oster TSSTTVMNDG-SHP-2 Toaster Oven. Settling a duel between two very similar large countertop convection toaster ovens.

Specifications
Design
The Black+Decker CTO6335S has a sturdy construction. Standouts for us were the baking pan plus broiling rack combo and the quartz heating elements.
The Oster TSSTTVMNDG-SHP-2 has a simple and sturdy design, plus a convenient slide-out crumb tray. The large interior houses a togglable lightbulb and convection system. A consistent disadvantage that this oven has is its low wattage compared to something like the Ninja DT201.
Usability Comparison
The Black+Decker CTO6335S has an easy-to-use control panel. However, it doesn’t have any features that encompass convenience. Even the automatic preheat feature isn’t very useful. In addition, its door and buttons are a bit dodgy.
While the digital control panel of the Oster TSSTTVMNDG-SHP-2 is straightforward and easy to use, its buttons can be more responsive. In addition to that, having to press Cancel before changing functions can get annoying.
The convection fan isn’t all-applicable, but it’s not a problem. On the other hand, the oven’s design features, including its accessories, make cleaning an effortless exercise.
Performance Test
The Black+Decker CTO6335S performed quite well in most of our test dishes except for the baked french fries. We speculated that 1500 W wasn’t able to heat the elements fast enough to keep up with the oven’s large capacity.
The strongest performance aspect of the Oster TSSTTVMNDG-SHP-2 was the even coloring on our test dishes, thanks to its convection system. However, it didn’t meet the mark in baking frozen french fries.
This was probably due to the low power output combined with the large capacity, unlike the picks on our best toaster oven list. Moreover, having only two tray positions made it tricky to get the toast done right on both sides.

Conclusion
The Black+Decker CTO6335S and the Oster TSSTTVMNDG-SHP-2 are quite evenly matched as large countertop convection toaster ovens. Thus, we can only pick a winner based on minute details.
Concerning our performance tests, the Black+Decker had a minor advantage when making toast while the Oster won hard in the pizza-baking test. They then proceeded to go toe to toe roasting a whole chicken and baking french fries with a slight edge going to the Oster on both occasions.
The Black+Decker has more efficient heating elements and runs at a higher power output than the Oster. However, it’s hard to identify how these aspects affect their respective performance.
Both ovens are simple and robust in design and come with similar accessories. The Black+Decker, however, gained some points with its tamper-resistant casing. Its raised buttons are also more responsive than the Oster’s flat buttons. But the Oster makes up some of that lost ground in the usability ranking thanks to its togglable interior light.
Based on the score, the Oster TSSTTVMNDG-SHP-2 earned a narrow victory with slightly better performance and ease of use. Nonetheless, the Black+Decker CTO6335S is its worthy adversary at a cheaper price.
