shd i be looking at the wattage or something?

Here are some of the issues I considered for a toaster-oven:

I wanted one that has about 1/2 cubic foot capacity, large enough for that small pizza or an entree for two. This size would allow me to toast at least 4 pieces of bread at the same time, toast bagels and English muffins and toast other very thick breads.

To do the things I needed it to do I needed about 1500 watts

I wanted one with a toast color selector with an automatic shut-off allowing me to choose from light to dark for toast.

A heavy non-stick interior would make cleanup quick.

I wanted to view the entire cooking process so there should be an interior light.

The machine I wanted would be designed so that the dual oven racks automatically advance when I opened the door.

The machine must have truly cool-touch sides. It must also have an easily removable crumb tray.

It should have reasonably easy-to-use cooking controls.

Since this machine would sit on my counter, I needed it to be reasonably attractive.

(Hope using these criteria will help you)
