Hamilton Beach Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo with Large Capacity, Fits 6 Slices or 12” Pizza, 4 Cooking Functions for Convection, Bake, Broil, Roll-Top Door, Easy Reach Sure-Crisp, Stainless Steel

Simple to use and works well.
Just purchased. Tired of heating up the oven to cook small meals and frozen pizza. Popped in a frozen pizza to try it out and it was excellent. I like the crust crispy and it was cooked exactly that way. Warmed up quickly – no waiting like with the oven. Love the simple dials that require no learning (ha) and the fact that the door opens up and over the oven. No worries about touching a hot door while removing my food. Appears to be a real winner –

Good product, good price with a hidden trick!! It’s also a convection oven.
We were going to buy a Ninja Foodie Air Fry / Toaster Oven but saw this for half the price and it holds more food. We’ve been using the Hamilton Beach for about 6 months now.First, it’s generally well-made with mostly metal parts. The standard toaster oven functions (bake, broil and toast) all work very well. Heat is uniform, bread comes out relatively evenly toasted (not as good a dedicated toaster) and the temperature control is dead accurate per my calibrated oven thermometer.Air frying mode is good, but not great. It’s slow to come up to heat and you’re limited to 400° F max temperature. Our small basket style air fryer is faster and the digital controls on it are nicer than the analog controls on the Hamilton Beach.Now for the hidden trick. If you put the toaster oven in Air Fry mode (turns on fan), you can still use the temperature control dial to set the temperature lower than air fry hot (400° F). This effectively turns it into a mini-convection oven. I tested it at 2 different temps (300° F and 350° F) and both were spot-on. The instructions imply that in Air Fry Mode you have to set the temperature control to match. No you don’t.The ONLY negative I’ve found is that the grease / drip pan is that goes under the rack/basket doesn’t clean easily. It’s got some kind of plating that actually holds the grease on while it “bonds” with the pan. The crumb tray is fine.

Great for small kitchens
The oven came well packaged, and was easy to put to use. once all the packaging was away, I only needed to plug it in and put it to use.The overall functions are varied and useful, being a streamlined and convenient way to cook almost anything with an oven that takes up a small footprint. The design is simple to understand, meaning the manual was barely needed. The sliding door is convenient, and despite my worries of the door slamming down when left upright, stays in the position you leave it in (open or closed).The only thing thing that I took notice in terms of quality was the temperature and heat distribution when cooking food. Nothing was underdone or unsafe to eat, but it did take some getting used to, requiring some experimentation with various settings, temperatures, and cook times to replicate what i was used to in other equipment. Sometimes food textures would come out differently as expected, as if it was in the oven a few minutes less than it should have been, or not as crispy as it should have been. I was at first concerned that maybe there was heat leakage due to how the door works, which leaves a small gap, open to the air, but it was just lack of familiarity with the oven. After a few more tries, it was working just fine.

Hamilton Beach has been a reliable source for small applications in my home for as long as I can remember, so I knew I could expect quality.My old toaster oven was a tiny 4-slice with limited options and the timer was on the fritz. It was time for a new one. I wanted something bigger, with lots of options. When I saw this easy-open door, I was intrigued.Firstly, this is MUCH bigger than the one I had before. Truly a 6-slice as advertised! It has a rounded back wall so you could even fit a standard frozen pizza in it.Secondly, the door. OHHHH the door. It swings so easily, so smoothly, so… WOW. Its a feature I never knew I needed. I cant imagine ever going back to a standard swing-down hatch. This is magical, and so nice for those with limited counter space. It also allows easy access and reduces the chances of burning myself while reaching in to grab food.The toast feature toasts BEAUTIFULLY. I cant remember the last time I had a bagel as evenly toasted as this. My old one would typically burn one side. With this toaster oven, my bagel came out evenly toasted with no burnt edges/spots.I just baked some southern style chicken strips and it baked through perfectly. Once again, the heat was distributed evenly, and the basket ensured no cold spots. Delicious!The basket itself perfect fits one box of frozen chicken strips or nuggets.Oh, and another thing. My old toaster had the catch tray on a hinge, which meant carefully wiping it down by hand, and made burnt-on foods impossible to remove. This one has the built-on base, but the catch tray sits just inside and is easily removed to be fully submersed and washed in the sink.If you need a new toaster oven, this one is what you need. It is worth every penny!
