Who should buy which

The Breville Smart Oven Pro is best for those who want a versatile and precise cooking experience, despite its higher price. The Breville BOV900BSS Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is a good choice for those who want even more cooking functions and super convection technology, but are willing to pay a premium. The BLACK+DECKER Air Fry Toaster Oven is a budget-friendly option for those who want basic 5-in-1 functionality without breaking the bank.

Also-rans

The Ninja Double Oven Pro Smart XL (B0GT27M1QD) and Ninja Double Oven Pro Smart XL (B0GWF799TB) are good options for those who want to cook two meals simultaneously, but they lack some of the versatility and precision of the top picks. The Our Place Wonder Oven (B0CLTK2JF8) is a compact option for small households, but it has a smaller interior and some usability issues with the toaster rack.
