The “but smaller” part is what sells it to me. My traditional oven is like ten times the size and I hate the idea of all that adding up on my energy bill just to warm up small meals for myself.
And I can’t set a shutoff timer on my traditional oven.
It reheats food quickly with a better texture than the microwave
It keeps food warm once I’ve cooked it and i can use it to keep part of dinner warm while I cook the rest
It cooks food evenly because it is a convection oven, and starts the process quicker because it is small
It replaces my toaster
I can bake one thing in the oven (fish potatoes, broccoli) while the other cooks in the air fryer, especially helpful when they have vastly different cook times and temperatures
Mine can also dehydrate food super quickly with a variable fan speed, which my traditional oven can’t do without burning through a ton of unnecessary energy
I recently got to buy myself a new oven, and I got one of those double compartment ones for exactly that reason, and it’s awesome, especially for pizza.
Obviously I’m not suggesting you replace your oven just for that, but if anyone is in the market for one I highly recommend a double compartment oven
My traditional oven is sort of like that. It’s got two portions, one larger part and a smaller griller that’s also perfect for pizzas. I still use it to cook bigger portions, like for a party.
I’ll give you that one. The small size is the only thing they’ve got going for them, in my opinion, since that makes them quicker to heat up. As for the timer function, I think most modern stoves have that? I know mine does, but I guess your mileage may vary.

My traditional oven doesn’t. So I gotta be careful not to fall asleep waiting for stuff to cook.
