Efficiency has never been mentioned in the review, and does not appear to be a criteria.
I'd question whether a toaster-oven for toast bread would be as efficient as a normal 2-slice bread toaster. I'd suggest a toaster oven would be hugely inefficient in comparison.
- sowbug 8y agoI have no idea either way, but it seems that a toaster oven would be much more efficient because it's insulated and enclosed. A normal toaster is basically a very small room heater that happens to operate near bread. Someone please do the web search and provide the answer.
- ghaff 8y agoA toaster both dries and toasts slices of bread. So having an enclosed space is not necessarily an advantage.
- jowiar 8y agoIt’s up there with using a bazooka to kill a fly, but the best toaster I’ve had is a benzomatic+Searzall. The intensely hot but non-penetrating heat adds a bit of crunch without drying the innards of the bread.
