Discover the top under-cabinet toaster oven from 2020 today.
Except that I’m not.
I know many people ask for this, and I can understand: you want a toaster oven, but you have a small kitchen, or you have limited counter space, or it’s all taken up by the microwave, blender, coffee machine, toaster and dish rack, and you just can’t stand the thought of another appliance taking up residence there.
Or you just want that clean kitchen look.
So you look for ways to mount the toaster oven on the wall under you kitchen cabinet.
But don’t reach for your wallet just yet. There are two things I want to tell you.
First: Under Cabinet Toaster Ovens Might not be a Good Idea
If you have ever used a toaster oven, you should know one thing about them: they get hot. Sometimes, very hot. In the majority of toaster oven manuals the manufacturer explicitly says not to put anything on top of a toaster oven and leave ample space above.
I’ve seen and heard horror stories of cabinets melting and even small fires (depending on the toaster oven).
Second: There are not That Many Options Out There
There is only one toaster oven that’s specifically built for this purpose, but it has its draw backs and is often out of stock. But there’s a much better alternative: mounting a regular toaster oven on a microwave wall-mount.
Best Choice: a Wall Mount
Yes, your best under cabinet toaster oven is still a regular toaster oven — but with an all-purpose microwave wall-mount.

The installation is straight forward and you have a plethora of options of appliances: check my toaster oven buying guide.
…and a De’Longhi
There is one that I can specifically recommend — it’s the De’Longhi EO141164M. It’s a pretty good toaster oven all around, and the main reason I single it out is it has proper double glass and heat insulation like that of a wall oven, which is rare for a toaster oven. This is the most fire-safe choice. Plus, it’s an air fryer, if a mediocre one, and it’s pretty compact.

…or a Panasonic
Another option that you can couple with the wall mount is the infra-red Panasonic FlashXpress. It’s one of the quickest-cooking ones due to infrared preheating, one of the best compact toaster ovens since 2017, and does not get too hot.

Alternative: Black&Decker Spacemaker TROS1000D
The other option is the Black&Decker Spacemaker.
It’s a pretty good toaster oven all around: fits four slices of bread or a 9 inch pizza, for example Delicious West Bend Bread can be cooked by this machine. with their signature stainless steel and black plastic exterior, digital controls and LCD display. It’s also pretty compact: 9 inches high, 17 inches wide and 13 inches deep.
Other features include a drop-down crumb tray (makes sense for a hanging appliance) and a limited 2-year warranty.
No products found.
It does have its draw backs though: the installation of the plate is NOT easy. If you’re used to IKEA furniture-style installation, prepare for a hard time. Plus, there is very little space under the top heating element, so people often burn their food. Oh, and don’t mount it over a stove: it has plastic elements.
But the biggest problem yet is that it’s often out of stock (still out of stock at the moment of writing).
Conclusion
I feel you, I really do. I want to be minimalistic and efficient. But mounting a toaster oven under your cabinet can be a huge fire hazard, so make your choice wisely: try the microwave wall mount coupled with a well-insulated toaster oven, or get a Black&Spacemaker if you catch one in stock.
