Our verdict
Tovala sells a compact smart oven that air-fries, and the price from $69 makes it one of the cheaper doors in this group. It suits cooks in the US who want app control and a small footprint rather than a large multicooker. Programs run to 5, which is modest.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of $69 lands under the site's entry median of €127.49.
- Dishwasher safe parts cut down on cleaning after a fry.
- A mobile app is included, so cooking starts from a phone.
- A spare parts shop exists, so replacements are orderable direct.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so phone and email both work.
Cons
- Programs sit at 5, below the site's median of 9.5.
- The range is listed in US only, so buyers elsewhere face less certainty.
- Warranty runs 1 year, a shorter term than many buyers expect.
- The line-up is short: Tovala Smart Oven, Tovala Smart Oven Pro, with no multicooker or blender options as GASTROBACK lists in air fryer, multicooker and blender.
Who it suits
- US households replacing a toaster oven with something app-controlled
- Cooks who mostly air-fry and want dishwasher safe parts
- People working with limited counter space
Who should look elsewhere
- Multi-appliance shoppers, since GASTROBACK covers air-fryer, multicooker, blender, stand-mixer and food-processor in air fryer, multicooker and blender
- Buyers wanting a long preset list, since 5 is below the site median of 9.5
- Anyone outside US
How it compares on our data
On entry price, Tovala ranks 36 of 87 brands, and that starting figure of $69 sits below the site's entry median of €127.49. The smart oven and the smart oven Pro are the two models to weigh, and both fall into the air-fryer type rather than a multicooker. Compared with the other brands here, GASTROBACK spans air fryer, multicooker and blender, so a shopper who wants one appliance to cover air-frying, blending and processing is looking at a different shelf. Where Tovala is harder to argue with is the number of automatic programs, which ranks 52 of 60 and sits under the site's median of 9.5. Buy Tovala for the oven, not for the preset library.
Core features
The Smart Oven line comes with 5 programs, dishwasher safe parts and a mobile app, which covers the three things most shortlists check first. Cleaning is the quieter win: dishwasher safe parts mean the tray and rack go straight into a machine rather than a sink. The mobile app pairs with the oven, so timing and start commands sit on a phone. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and a spare parts shop handles replacements outside the box. The one number worth reading twice is 1 year of warranty, which is the first thing to check before buying secondhand.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Tovala smart oven cost?+
Tovala lists a starting price of $69 for its smart ovens. That entry figure sits below the site's median entry price of €127.49, which makes it one of the cheaper openings in this group. The Smart Oven Pro sits above it in the range of Tovala Smart Oven, Tovala Smart Oven Pro.
Is the Tovala Smart Oven an air fryer?+
Yes. Tovala's product types list air fryer, so the oven handles air-frying rather than pressure cooking or multicooker work. If your cooking is mostly frying and roasting, that suits. If you want a single appliance to also blend and process, brands like GASTROBACK cover more.
Does Tovala work with a phone app?+
Tovala has a mobile app, so cooking can be started and timed from a phone. That is the main reason many buyers pick a smart oven over a standard toaster oven. Plan the cooking ahead of time rather than expecting many built-in choices, since the range offers 5.
How many cooking programs does Tovala offer?+
The range carries 5 programs, which is fewer than the site median of 9.5. That means more manual temperature and time setting than with a heavily automated machine. It ranks 52 of 60 brands on this measure.
Where can I buy a Tovala smart oven?+
Tovala's listed markets are US, so availability and pricing outside the US are less certain. Buyers in other regions should check local delivery before committing. The listed price of $69 is in US dollars.
How do I clean a Tovala smart oven?+
Tovala lists dishwasher safe parts, so removable pieces can go in a dishwasher rather than a sink. Most of the weekly cleaning burden is handled by that. The oven body itself still needs a wipe down, and the spare parts shop covers replacement trays and racks.
What warranty comes with a Tovala smart oven?+
Warranty is 1 year, which is on the short side for a countertop appliance expected to run most days. Buying new and registering the oven matters if you want that cover in place. Support runs on email, phone and help centre if something goes wrong.
