If you prefer to avoid single-purpose kitchen appliances, then you will prefer toaster ovens to toasters. (Also, a normal oven can do.)
A toaster oven is also the superior appliance for making toast as it can toast bread that has already been loaded up with things like butter or peanut butter.
I think I see one toaster oven in the list, listed as D tier, which makes sense for that one because it has a built-in coffee maker.
But where’s the normal toaster oven in this list? That would be S-tier.
Beg to differ, I traded my S tier standard toaster for my dad’s toaster oven because he liked mine so much when I stayed with him during COVID times. The toaster oven is top notch but the added utility of preloaded toppings is offset by the counter top footprint. It also only really toasts one side properly.
The kicker is, most of the best applications are better done on a real oven. That’s how I do garlic bread, for instance. The only advantage is if I want to make something quick and sad, such as a pretend grilled cheese sandwich for the kids while I’m sick, I can slab cheese on each slice of bread and put them together at the end. Luckily little kids have no taste, so they don’t mind.
Toaster oven is superior. I don’t mind the counter top space because it is a superior appliance.
Mine toast both sides, as there is a top and bottom heating element. It’s was better for reheating pizza than a microwave (takes longer, but the end result is way better). It’s really handy to have a smaller secondary oven when cooking big meals. I roasted a turkey breast in mine last year, while the stuffing cooked at a different temp in the oven.
