The Best Smart Ovens
1. Tovala
Image from our review.
Cost: The cost of a Tovala oven depends on whether you'd like to subscribe to Tovala meal delivery:
- $299.00 – Tovala Starter Kit (includes oven + accessories), purchased without meal subscription commitment
- $199.00 – Tovala Starter Kit (includes oven + accessories), with a commitment to purchase at least 6 meal deliveries within 6 months
About This Oven: If you're looking for a smart oven that will support your subscription addiction, look no further than Tovala. This wifi-enabled smart oven comes with its own coordinating meal subscription! But you don't have to subscribe to Tovala's meal delivery service to enjoy this incredible cooking machine. Tovala can bake, steam, broil, and toast, and it also has a few features that put the "smart" in smart oven. There's a scan-to-cook feature that integrates with Tovala's own meals but also works with hundreds of grocery store items. (Just scan the barcode of your Eggo waffles, frozen pizza, Trader Joe's meal, or other compatible product, and Tovala will automatically set the cooking time and method.) You can also cook directly from the Tovala app: just pick out a recipe, prep it using your own ingredients, and press a button to send cooking information directly to your oven from within the app. We recently reviewed Tovala here at MSA, and it's one of our top picks for best all-around smart oven. We love how it takes the guesswork out of cooking.
"Initially, I wasn’t sure I’d love Tovala. (Would the oven live up to the hype? Are scannable meals just a gimmick?) I may have started out skeptical, but this oven + meal delivery combo won me over. I’m now a certified, card-carrying fan. I’ve always kept a toaster oven on my kitchen counter, and the Tovala smart oven is a fabulous upgrade. It’s beautiful and user-friendly, and most importantly, it PERFORMS. The Tovala meals are a tasty time-saver, but the oven is the real star. It’s a great machine that has changed the way I cook in my kitchen."
Cooking Functions: Steam, Bake, Broil, Toast, and Scan-to-Cook.
Dimensions: 12.75" x 11" x 8"

2. Amazon Smart Oven

Cost: $249.99 (with Alexa Dot)
About This Oven: If you've outfitted your smart home with Amazon products and already use Alexa around the house, Amazon's Smart Oven might be the natural choice for your next kitchen upgrade. This stainless steel cooker is a microwave, convection oven, food warmer, and air fryer in one, and it comes with 30+ built-in presets to make all kinds of cooking easy. When paired with a compatible device like Echo Dot, you can cook using voice commands and even have the oven announce when your food is done cooking. One thing to call out about this oven is that online reviews are... mixed. It seems that those who are new to Alexa may struggle to formulate voice commands that accurately communicate cooking instructions. With that in mind, this might not be the right machine for those who are new to Alexa, get easily frustrated with technology, or are unwilling to learn the lingo required to cook a few strips of bacon (or toast or chicken).
"So far it's been working great for both oven and microwave tasks. Made biscuits last night and re-heated lunch today. Pretty neat to tell Alexa to pre-heat the oven and how long to run the microwave."
"Getting so many appliances into one REQUIRES some compromise, which raises the price and affects performance. With that said, this is a VERY solid and smart option if you want to save space. If you want the world's best microwave, or air fryer, or small oven, you'll need to buy them one at a time. If you want the best available combination of all those, this is probably it."
Cooking Functions: 4-in-1: Microwave, Convection Oven, Food Warmer, and Air Fryer
External Dimensions: 21.73" x 21.38" x 12.83"
3. June Oven

Is this oven a little "extra"? Sure. But there's no arguing with luxury. (Even if you're just reheating yesterday's pizza.)
"Never thought I would be this excited about an oven.. I love coming home to it every day figuring out new things to do in it!"
"I absolutely love the June Smart Oven! Every single feature is just amazing. It makes cooking a breeze even on a busy stressful weeknight. I set my meal in the June and it’ll take care of every single step for me. Fast and easy."

Image via Amazon.
Cost: $279.95
About This Oven: Sometimes countertop ovens can heat inconsistently, leading to unevenly cooked food and burned spots. Breville has addressed this issue with the implementation of a heating system they call Element iQ. Here's a little bit about how it works:

"I am so incredibly happy with this Ninja oven. I have used air fryers before, but felt limited with their small baskets to cook for my family. But, the convenience, short cooking time and ease of clean up encouraged me to try this ninja. You guys! It is amazing. I am so impressed."
"I’ve owned two other airfryers this by far is the best. The fact that I can turn it up so it doesn’t take up all the counter space is a huge plus!"
