Since my oven doesn't work in my trailer, I've been looking for a substitute. I got an air fryer and you should have seen my face when that arrived. My first question was how in the world was I going to fit a casserole dish in that.
So I sprang for the Luby toaster oven. It was about $150 and I like it a lot. It's 47 quarts, which is huge, almost the size of a regular oven. It's not an air fryer and it's only got three knobs, one to turn it on (and a timer), one for the bottom heaters, and one for the top heaters. Even I can work that.
It has a double door which can be a pain sometimes, but that's because I don't think my trailer is set straight so one door always closes on me. It came with a solid oven rack and two regular oven racks. Someone said it looked like the regular racks were sort of flimsy, but I use two of them at a time and I've put a whole heavy casserole in and never had a problem. You can also remove the bottom rack for cleaning.
When being used, it does get hot on the outside, though, and the manufacturer recommends at least 5" all around when using it.
I doubt if anyone but me would ever need a toaster oven this large, but for me it's great. Right now it sits on my 2'x2' chopping block and does double duty when I dry my dishes on top, but I plan to have a space carved out in the trailer sometime soon so I can have my chopping block back.
