Counter top ovens
Good morning everyone. I am looking to upgrade an older (but functional) Oster non-convection oven. The thermostat is off by about 50 degrees, but I compensate for that with an oven thermometer and a probe thermometer. The timer is limited to 60 minutes and is analog (rotate).
I see countertop oven listed as top of the line for $500-$600 but I don't believe that is necessary (unless I am wrong on that issue). I feel a convection oven will give better results, greater convenience, and shorter cooking times.
Does any oven stand out for the value (benefits high, cost low-to-moderate)? There are literally hundreds to choose from. When I look at Amazon ratings the negatives always stand out (one star) so it's hard to know what is the best for the money.
I would suggest the Oster French Door oven WITHOUT the air fryer option. I have had mine for nearly five years now with no problems.

We got it 3 yrs ago for our kitchen renovation . set it up in the basement and then moved it to kitchen. Has a rotisserie that works great! We use it all the time . Was $99 at Walmart. Has convection and broil and regular and has a setting for continuous as well as timed . https://www.google.com/search?q=hamilton+beach+convection+countertop+oven+with+rotisserie&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS676US676&oq=hamilton+beach+convection+countertop+oven+with+rotisserie&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l5.25848j0j7&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
