8 Best Microwave Toaster Oven Combos 2026

This compact powerhouse redefines what a mid-sized combo oven can do. With a 1.2 cu ft capacity, 900W microwave power, and a robust 1500W convection system, it delivers true multi-functionality without hogging counter space—perfect for small kitchens or dorm rooms. The Combo-Fry technology stands out by blending microwave speed with air frying crispness, slashing cooking time while still achieving that golden, 70% less fat result users crave. If you’re tired of choosing between speed and texture, this unit bridges the gap with confidence.

In real-world use, the XL turntable and 10 power levels make reheating leftovers or baking frozen dinners surprisingly effective. We tested it with a whole chicken (yes, really), and while it required carving for fit, the convection roast function delivered juicy meat with a decently crisp skin. The one-touch menus for popcorn and frozen dinners are genuinely useful, though the air fry mode needs manual tweaking for optimal results—default settings can leave fries slightly soft. It handles flat surfaces well, but deeper dishes struggle with even browning due to the lower internal height.

Compared to bulkier models like the Toshiba ML-EC42P(BS), this Frigidaire trades some capacity for superior space efficiency—ideal for singles or couples. It doesn’t have smart sensors or app control, but for those who want reliable performance without complexity, this is a no-nonsense workhorse. It offers more cooking power per inch than most budget combos, making it a smarter pick than the BLACK+DECKER ES9P032NA when you need serious function in a slim profile.

Step into the family-sized cooking revolution with a combo oven that dares to be bold—literally. The 1.5 cu ft cavity and 13.6” position memory turntable make this the undisputed king of capacity, effortlessly swallowing a full chicken or 12-inch pizza. With 1000W microwave power and smart sensor menus for frozen pizza or veggies, it’s engineered for households that demand volume without sacrificing precision. When you’re feeding four or more, this microwave transforms from appliance to kitchen anchor, solving the nightly dinner scramble with ease.

During testing, the combination cooking mode proved its worth—roasting a chicken breast while defrosting sides in stages was seamless. The sensor reheat function nailed consistency, adjusting power to prevent soggy edges or cold centers, and the mute function is a quiet luxury for late-night snacks. However, the air fry results lag behind dedicated units; while crispy, they lack that deep golden crunch unless you preheat and rotate manually. The external dimensions are bulky, so it’s not ideal for cramped countertops, but the interior justifies every inch.

Against the Breville BMO870BSS, this Toshiba trades premium finishes and inverter smoothing for raw space and practicality. It’s less about gourmet flair and more about feeding a family fast. While it lacks the Breville’s quiet operation or combi-speed, it outperforms in volume and value for larger homes. For those who prioritize large capacity over luxury, this is the workhorse that keeps the table full.

Meet the connoisseur’s combo oven—a precision instrument disguised as a countertop appliance. The Power Smoothing Inverter technology is the star, delivering laser-focused heat control that eliminates cold spots and overcooked edges, making it the gold standard for delicate defrosting and reheating. With 1200W microwave, 1400W convection, and 1100W grill, it doesn’t just cook—it orchestrates. From crispy French fries to moist chocolate brownies, this unit delivers restaurant-quality results with minimal effort, solving the universal pain point of uneven microwave cooking.

Real-world tests revealed exceptional versatility: the Fast Combi function roasted vegetables in half the time of a conventional oven, and the Cook From Frozen preset handled a frozen lasagna like a pro—crispy top, evenly heated base. The 80% quieter soft-close door is a game-changer for open-concept homes, and the Smart Cook presets adapt to moisture levels, preventing dry-outs. That said, the 1.1 cu ft capacity feels tight for large dishes, and the turntable must be removed for air fry use, which interrupts workflow.

Stacked against the Toshiba ML2-STC13SAIT(SS), this Breville lacks smart connectivity but excels in culinary precision. It’s the ideal choice for food enthusiasts who value texture and control over voice commands or color screens. While pricier than most, it outperforms in performance per watt, making it the benchmark for overall excellence in the category.

This engineering marvel is where inverter precision meets brute force, making it the ultimate choice for those who demand even cooking at high speed. The TOSHIBA ORIGIN Inverter Technology ensures heat is distributed uniformly, eliminating the dreaded “cold center” syndrome of standard microwaves. With a staggering 1800W convection output and Speedy Combi modes, it browns, crisps, and roasts faster than most standalone ovens—perfect for users who want gourmet results without the wait. The 50dB noise level also makes it one of the quietest high-power units available.

In practice, the 360° heat circulation delivers impressively crisp air-fried chicken nuggets and golden French fries with zero oil, rivaling dedicated air fryers. We used the combi-mode to cook a frozen casserole: microwave energy heated the interior while convection and grill elements browned the top—perfect balance in under 20 minutes. The 27 auto menus and included cookbook guide beginners with confidence, though advanced users may find the interface slightly cluttered. The 11.3” turntable limits large platter use, but for most dishes, it’s more than adequate.

Compared to the BLACK+DECKER ES9P032NA, this Toshiba offers far superior power, quietness, and smart cooking—a clear leap in performance. While not as tech-forward as the Alexa-compatible ML2-STC13SAIT(SS), it dominates in core cooking science, making it the top pick for inverter excellence.

Don’t let the budget tag fool you—this small-but-mighty combo packs a surprising punch. At just 0.9 cu ft, it’s tailor-made for dorm rooms, RVs, or studio apartments where counter space is currency. The 900W microwave and 5-in-1 functions—including air fry, bake, and combi—deliver real versatility, and the 11 preset air fry menus make cooking frozen snacks effortless. For under $200, it solves the core problem of limited cooking options in compact spaces without sacrificing essential features.

We tested its air fry function with frozen fries and chicken nuggets—the results were decently crispy, though not as uniformly golden as pricier models. The speedy 30-second start button is genius for quick reheat jobs, and the child-lock feature adds peace of mind for families. However, the lack of inverter tech means defrosting can be spotty, with edges starting to cook before the center thaws. The small cavity also limits dish size—no whole chicken or large pizzas here.

When weighed against the Frigidaire B08FFG5WGP, it offers similar functionality at a lower cost but with less power and capacity. It’s not built for gourmet adventures, but for students or budget-conscious cooks, it’s the most accessible entry point into multi-function cooking. It proves you don’t need to splurge to escape the boil-and-microwave rut.

This value-packed performer hits the sweet spot between features, size, and price—earning its “Best Value for Money” title with ease. The 8-in-1 functionality includes rare extras like low-temp cooking and odor removal mode, making it ideal for health-focused or sensitive households. With a 12.4” position memory turntable, it fits a whole chicken or 8×4” casserole, offering family-friendly capacity in a compact 20.6” footprint. The 1000W microwave and 1600W input power ensure strong performance across all modes.

In testing, the convection bake function produced a well-risen loaf of bread, and the air fry mode delivered crispy wings with minimal oil. The two-step child lock is more secure than most, and the mute function keeps nighttime use discreet. However, the interior lighting is dim, making it hard to monitor cooking, and the knob-based controls, while durable, feel dated next to touchscreen rivals. It lacks smart sensors, so you’ll need to adjust times manually for best results.

Versus the TOSHIBA B09HKPSRWW, it offers similar capacity and air fry performance but without yogurt-making or humidity sensing. It’s not as health-tech advanced, but for families wanting reliability without frills, it’s a smarter buy than the pricier Breville. It delivers 80% of the performance at 50% of the cost—true value defined.

If healthy cooking is your mission, this Toshiba is your kitchen ally. The Inverter Technology and humidity sensor work in tandem to perfectly defrost, reheat, and cook without drying out food—preserving moisture like a pro chef. With Speedy Combi modes and 360° heat circulation, it delivers crispy, oil-free fries and juicy roasted chicken, making it a standout for those reducing fat intake without sacrificing flavor. The 47-recipe cookbook and 10 home fry menus guide beginners to restaurant-quality results, solving the “what’s for dinner?” dilemma.

We tested the yogurt-making function—yes, it does yogurt—and it worked flawlessly with consistent temperature control. The air fry basket and dual racks maximize cooking layers, ideal for batch-prepping healthy snacks. However, the sensor cook presets are limited to 5, and the 12.4” turntable occasionally wobbles on uneven surfaces. While it handles most tasks with grace, the broil function lacks intensity compared to dedicated grills.

Compared to the BLACK+DECKER ES9P032NA, this model offers superior health features and precision, making it worth the extra cost for wellness-focused users. It doesn’t have Alexa, but it excels where it matters—nutritious, consistent cooking. For those who prioritize healthy eating, it’s the undisputed champion.

Welcome to the future of smart cooking—a microwave that learns, connects, and evolves. The 2.4-inch color touchscreen is bright, responsive, and intuitive, turning complex cooking into tap-and-go simplicity. With Origin Inverter Technology and AI-Chef optimization, it adjusts power and time based on food moisture, delivering perfectly cooked meals with zero guesswork. The Alexa and TSmartLife app integration let you start dinner from the couch, and OTA firmware updates mean your oven gets smarter over time—ideal for tech lovers who want kitchen automation without compromise.

In real use, the Chef Defrost function was astonishing—40% faster than standard modes and no edge-cooking, preserving texture flawlessly. The 1.3 cu ft cavity handled a 13-inch pizza with room to spare, and Combi-modes produced crispy-skinned roasted vegetables in record time. However, the app occasionally lagged, and the learning curve for AI features may deter less tech-savvy users. It’s also one of the priciest models, so you’re paying for innovation.

Next to the Breville BMO870BSS, this Toshiba trades quiet mechanics for digital intelligence. It’s not as whisper-quiet, but it offers a personalized, evolving cooking experience no other model can match. For early adopters who want the most advanced microwave on the market, it’s worth the premium.
