You mean a full-featured countertop oven that can bake full-sized hearth breads? Fit a 14" batard and go to 250 °C. In the US? Many of us would want that, but the pickings are slim. Pleasant Hill Grains sells Rofcos, ugly as hell, and a European import with a Teutonic-sounding name that escapes me at the moment and $4000 price tag, and that's about it.
There are a lot of smaller less-expensive countertop ovens, but all of those introduce some compromises. (The two already mentioned are probably the closest to no-compromise solutions.)
A few of the smaller "compromise models" (if I can call them that) have unofficial but enthusiastic "internet fan clubs" of people who like the little ovens and who have learned their quirks - maybe you can find some of those people discussing how bread turns out for them.
Some seem pretty fancy; others are not much more than a supersize toaster oven.
