The Breville BOV450XL Mini Smart Toaster Oven is our best-to-buy small pick and the Black and Decker 4 Slice Toaster Oven (TO1760SS) is just a standard small unit. Comparing them presents the common limitations of small toaster ovens and what can be improved upon.
As it is, the Hamilton simply has two quartz heating elements and analog control dials. Meanwhile, the Breville has four quartz heating elements, a non-stick interior for easy cleaning, a slide-out crumb tray, a digital display as well as precise timer and temperature control buttons.
The Black+Decker had a pretty decent cooking performance and pretty good score in toasting bread.
The Breville, however, is simply much better by having a high power output. This allowed the Breville to toast bread very well and bake fries to a decent outcome—a common weakness of small toaster ovens.
Nonetheless, both toaster ovens lack a convection system that larger models have to help with the baking of savory dishes.
