"Breville has halogen filaments and splash shields around the filaments"

My last toaster oven had those, too, and I hesitated before buying the Toshiba because it didn't.

But I've found that the plain resistance elements heat about as quickly.

And the splash shields and halogen elements collect nastiness that is impossible to clean. The resistance elements wipe right off.

I bought this from Walmart.com in January. The quality is high and we use it all the time.

PS. Re. Air Fry:

I really can't tell the difference between the convection mode on the Toshiba and the air-fry mode on my oven when I use an air-fry basket in the Toshiba.

This thing sounds huge per its dimensions. Not sure if it's worth taking up my counter space for. I either use the wall over for large dishes, or a small toaster oven for personal servings. This thing is somewhere in between. I guess it's good for one size fit all -- but then even a small apartment would come with a wall oven, no?

Quote from MedONC :
Have this unit - got it on Amazon during Nov 2020 - can confirm that the crumb tray warps (already replaced once by Amazon). What's more do to design of the tray it's difficult to empty without tilting and spilling all the crumbs in the oven!

The included rack also has a wired cut in the rear and occasionally small things fall off at the rear of oven - quality is just okay but the design is poor. That said it functions well- just a pain to keep clean.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Repped!

This thing is on the smaller size from what I can tell. Your average usable one is around 32 quart/31L in size roughly.

The element type is really irrelevant to the heating time. The heating time is determined by volume, insulation, heat capacity of the "guts" of the oven, and most importantly (as the other items I listed are going to be pretty similar in their impact between ovens) RATED POWER. All ovens will be around 1500-1800W. That said an oven with poor power control might duty cycle (turn on and off every few seconds or minutes) before they have fully heated which could further extend the time it takes to heat up.

There are a lot of positive comments here but most of what I read online are negative (broken glass, warped crumb tray, overheat, etc). I don't know who to trust.
trust yourself, buy and return if it sucks.

So I have this and while its not perfect, its a decent deal at $60. I paid $66 for mine in August.

It came with warped crumb tray and the manufacturer (not actually Toshiba) has been OOS of that part since then. That said, my last toaster didn't even have a crumb tray. Also, even if it wasn't warped, I don't understand how you're expected to remove the crumb tray without also removing half the crumbs into the toaster so I am not going to worry about it.
Otherwise, my only actual complaint is how loud the beep is when it actually finishes cooking. Its like a solid 40% louder than it needs to be and theres no way to make it quieter. If you have a napping child at home, you will need to consider how soundly they are asleep before using the toaster, which is not something I expected to have to consider when buying this lol.

This is a Japanese brand. Which can easily last for 10 yrs. I own an Panasonic toaster and I'm hoping it to break everyday because I want to try these new models. lol... it's been 10 yrs, still hoping.

It's a traditional old Japanese corporation brand that has always aimed for being a Honda-type kind of best reliability, throughout history, since the 1950s. Panasonic (or Toyota) is usually #1 most-reliable, then Toshiba (or Honda) is #2 most-reliable. Or, the vice versa..., depending on certain product. Often, Toshiba can be #1 most-reliable. Then Sanyo, JVC, Sharp, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Sony, and NEC (ranked in-order) to some degree, according to the 70-year median average reliability (all electronic, video game, computer, and appliance products sold since 1950s) published by Consumer Reports magazine.

All Toshiba appliances today are outsourced and made by Midea in China. Toshiba is now a Japanese "safe-zone" or "worry-free" marketing brand for consumers to easily put into their shopping carts with minimal risk or hesitation. Some Panasonic products can last the longest out there, depending on item, but in my 20-year plus repair experience, Panasonic is usually not the most-durable out there.

Quote from slickshoes :
Totally irrelevant now that everything is made in China. This was totally true in the 70's 80's and 90's when Japanese products were actually made in Japan, now it's a crap shoot literally. Ahhhhh the good old days…
I think Toshiba's attempt to be the #2 most-reliable brand for toaster ovens out there is a valid call. The old traditional Japanese reliability scores will never die, since the 1950s. Toshiba's notable worldwide reputation will continue to live on for future, new generations. Midea Appliances in China have a good reliability record so far. Better than Galanz and Haier. Toshiba of Japan is indeed proud with Midea of China so far.

All Toshiba appliances today are outsourced and made by Midea in China. Toshiba is now a Japanese "confident" brand for consumers, reflecting more positive goddesses for our fast-changing society.

Ok. So I'll admit my complaints about it. I still love it, but the crumb tray is surprisingly poorly designed. Mine hasn't warped, but it IS difficult to remove, and removing it often just pushes the the crumbs into the bottom of the unit.

And ... It infuriates me ... the display has the temperature above the time, but THE KNOBS ARE REVERSED. Yes. I used all caps. I'm shouting. The temperature is on top, but it is controlled by the bottom knob. The time is on the bottom, but it's knob is above the temperature knob. I use the wrong one every time. I cannot decide if this is the work of an idiot or a sadist.

But it is a quarter the price of the Breville and is more reliable and works great.

And I'm working on my anger issues.

We bought this toaster oven in January of this year. We love it so much, and feel it's a good size for us-- not too small, but not too big. We live in a 1bedroom apartment.

this has a convection feature, however it's a cooking type, and not a selection you can turn on or off. My mom and I have gone through 5 BOV800XL's over the past 10 years or so (3 were replaced by breville), but I can't justify spending that much on them anymore despite how much I love them.
If you mean the switch failure... try to find someone in your area who's handy both with mechanical and soldering. It's not extremely difficult but it's not a novice job either and you need extra length screwdrivers, a good amount of work area, desoldering skills, and extra caution working with sheet metal and moving the fiberglass insulation as little as possible because it 'crumbles' if disturbed, for $6 in parts (I got switches off Amazon in a multipack of sizes because buying 6 switches + shipping off DigiKey was going to be 3x the price after shipping) and a set of 24" screwdrivers from Harbor Freight our Breville is working like new again. I found it moderately difficult. It would be easy for someone who does it a lot.

The last one one of the thermal fuses popped and the screen had "grease" in it, I saw a rumor the newer models have more insulation to solve this problem so hopefully changing the switches will give it a new full life cycle.

I am eyeing this Toshiba because I want to work with polymer clay again and don't want to bake in our main toaster oven.
