For years I only used a toaster oven because my dad always said toasters
didn't work. No. *His* toasters didn't work. Long story short they got a
ton of toasters for wedding gifts. All the same brand/model. All bad.
They would use one for a while then get ticked off then open another one.

Finally my mom had to choose a gift from a pharmacy. They had a punch card
and when full you could redeem it for a gift. They were doing away with the
cards so she had to choose from what they had left. There was nothing she
really wanted. She chose a toaster. It actually worked!

I do know people who make toast in a toaster oven. A toaster is quicker for
that because it will toast both sides at once.

If you want a toasted open face sandwich, use the toaster oven. If you are
cooking a small amount of meat or fish, use the toaster oven.
