Black+Decker CTO6335S vs Cuisinart TOA-60 Toaster Oven

Overall Verdict

While the Black+Decker CTO6335S did well in our performance tests, it suffered defeat against the consistently excellent results of the Cuisinart TOA-60. Looking at the results in the baking french fries test, it’s only more evident that 1500 W wasn’t enough to power the heating elements to accommodate the Black+Decker’s large capacity.

Despite both having a convection system, not only is the Cuisinart’s stronger but it also uses a higher 1800 Watts of power. The four quartz heating elements of the Black+Decker weren’t able to help in this battle against the more common 6 nichrome ones of the Cuisinart.

The Cuisinart’s straightforward and simplistic construction highlights the investment in an excellent design and extremely durable material. The Black+Decker edges out a bit in the exterior department with its tamper-resistant casing and an LCD display with an automatic preheat feature.

However, the outer shell of the Cuisinart doesn’t get as hot as quickly as the Black+Decker’s. Moreover, the 100% analog control of the Cuisinart is way more reliable in terms of responsiveness and more intuitive to use.

Besides the standard baking pan and rack, the Black+Decker further has a broiling rack while the Cuisinart comes with an air fryer basket. Both have a slide-out crumb tray and not much to offer in terms of usability.

The Black+Decker CTO6335S is still a good budget large countertop convection toaster oven for beginner and seasoned home cooks. Meanwhile, the Cuisinart TOA-60 is our definitive choice for the best medium-sized countertop convection toaster oven.
