toaster oven vs toaster?
>>9190291
Toaster is easier and faster if all you're doing is toasting bread.
Toaster oven is far more flexible and can be used for anything you might bake or roast in a full-size oven.
I'm not really sure what else to say.

Whichever can bake a chicken breast without burning the house down wins.
Ideally you should have both. One for toast and the other for nearly everything else. If you can only have one you must decide what is important to you. Is a good slice of toast, an english muffin, or bagel important in your life? Do you appreciate the speed and simplicity of a nicely toasted bread with perhaps some butter, cream cheese, or jam? If so then you want a toaster.
If you are looking for more diversity...say that same bread topped with a sauce and cheese...or a hot pocket...some frozen pizza...pretty much anything you would put in a regular over...you need a toaster oven.
What you dont want to do is expect a toaster oven to replace a toaster...unless your standards for "toast" are pretty low. I am a huge advocate of the toaster oven and have used my regular oven three times in the three years. What i dont use a toaster oven for is toast. It sucks.
Toaster for bread, toaster oven for things that go in an oven.
