I hate my full size non-convection wall oven, takes forever to preheated and in the summer releases a ton of heat into my kitchen

Even if you have a full size oven with convection baking, I would still get convection toaster oven. It is not only more energy efficient but it preheats faster. I can fit a half serving tray in mine and do everything except a turkey or multiple cakes

There is an internal vent on wall ovens. Prior to 2007: Oven is vented through a vent tube under the control panel. After 2007: For single and double wall ovens, the vent is below the door to keep electronics cooler, improve appearance, and provide a better door seal at the top.

All
ovens are vented one way or another. You would not want to heat up the air in a sealed chamber because of thermal expansion. It would explode due to the heat expanding because it has no way to vent. A vent is also needed to vent fumes and by products that burn off during the self cleaning process.
that heat created in the baking process is mostly wasted , small fraction goes into the food.

I have the Cuisinart with convection. I believe I bought it refurbished for maybe 2/3 the price of a new model, and it is definitely one of the most-used appliances in my kitchen. I love having a toaster oven, even though a straight-up toaster makes better actual toast. This one is essentially a small oven, which for a two-person household is often plenty. It gets up to temperature WAY faster than my actual oven, and the convection feature is very useful for reheating things like fried chicken, pizza, etc. I think I’ve had it for about 10 years already and it is in perfect shape.

I have the Breville Smart Oven Air (BOV900) with the convection fan and the air fry function and love it. It's pricy for a toaster oven but the ability to fit a full size 9"x13" pan or 13" pizza is super helpful for being able to handle whatever we throw at it. We use it for everything except cooking sourdough boules (which require a heavy Dutch oven to steam-bake, and which does not fit inside the toaster oven).

We have a Panasonic Infrared. Have had it for maybe 6 years and it is still going strong. The best thing about it is that it heats instantly, no preheating required. I am impatient so it is prefect. Love it.

From 2008. Funny to see this old thread get resurrected. Still have the same toaster oven, and it wasn't brand new then. One of the longer-lasting small appliances we've owned, I guess.

I don't suppose anyone here (or your family or friends) has a June Oven. I heard about them a few months ago, signed up for their email list, and have gotten three open window emails so far. They're manufactured in small batches. If I had a thousand dollars laying around and my Breville was slowing down, I think I'd buy one.
