ET-ZLC30 Micom Toaster Oven

Last verified May 12, 2026 by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team

Zojirushi's Micom toaster oven is the higher-tier countertop oven that uses a microcomputer ('Micom') to manage three independently-controlled heating elements — top, bottom, and rear convection. The 'Micom' control is the same fuzzy-logic approach Zojirushi uses in their rice cookers and breadmakers; it adjusts cycle timing and element power based on what's cooking. The interior holds 4 slices of bread or a 9" pizza, the included rotisserie bar handles a chicken, and the door is the Japanese seal-tight design that keeps heat in better than US toaster ovens. r/Cooking and r/BuyItForLife threads consistently surface Zojirushi toaster ovens as the consensus 'spend the money for the Zoji' answer. Made in Japan to Zojirushi standards; replacement parts available from Zojirushi USA.
