A family of mice moved into my old gas range and had to throw it out - now looking for a standalone oven to allow for baking - what's my best option?

I live in a small cabin in the woods. Rodents and bugs are a constant problem. I'm getting them under control but mice had completely taken over my stove (your typical low-end GE range) and were stuffing every opening with nesting materials, making the whole thing smell like urine. Just a bad situation...

I made the best of the situation, threw it out, and bought a couple nice, easy-to-clean countertop burners that I actually much prefer to the old oven for day-to-day cooking. But I still want to be able to bake. I'll do the occasional pizza or casserole, but mainly I'm very picky about good results when baking bread. Good rise, even heat, yada yada.

​

I'm looking at a few different options. There's the typical wall-mounted, consumer-grade option, which would probably be about I'm used to. But it's a tiny kitchen, can I get similiar or better results with something smaller?

There are consumer countertop steam oven like this, but are there any that wouldn't feel like a downgrade from a full-size oven?

What's the downside of going for a countertop commercial convection oven like this?

​

Basically if you had to buy 1 device solely for producing the best loaf of bread once-a-week or so (while also working as a normal oven), what would it be? Budget preferrably not much higher than $1,000.
