How to choose
Match capacity to your meals
Slice count and pan fit decide more than wattage here. The Ninja fits 9 slices and a 12 lb. turkey, the BLACK+DECKER fits 8 slices and a 9 by 13 inch pan, and the Cuisinart, Breville and Hamilton Beach each fit 6 slices. Check the pan or pizza size you cook most against those figures before choosing.
Count the functions you will use
Function counts run from 3 on the Hamilton Beach to 10 on the Breville and the Ninja, with 7 on the Cuisinart and 5 on the BLACK+DECKER. Air fry appears on the Cuisinart, Ninja and BLACK+DECKER, while slow cook appears only on the Breville. Pick the oven whose function list covers your weekly cooking, not the longest list.
Check controls and cleanup
Controls differ across these ovens. The Cuisinart uses dial controls, the Breville uses an LCD display, the Hamilton Beach uses manual controls, and the Ninja display freezes settings while the door is open. The Cuisinart housing is stainless steel. For cleanup, the Hamilton Beach door and slide-out crumb tray are removable, and the Ninja includes a removable crumb tray.
