Hamilton Beach 6 Slice Convection Toaster Oven With Easy Reach Roll-Top Door, Bake, Broil & Toast Functions, Auto Shutoff, Silver (31123DA)

I’ve been using a small Rival toaster oven for years but have wanted to upgrade to something larger. I’ve had my eye on the Hamilton Beach EAsy Open oven for a while so when it went on sale during Prime Days I got it for half its original cost and took the plunge. I’ve been using this oven nearly daily for the last few months without complaint. It has exceeded my expectations completely and then some.I love the easy open door… I wasn’t sure how much clearance I would have under my counter but it’s just the right height so I can easily open and close the door.The control knobs are fantastic and easy to read… I didn’t want digital controls (my husband is completely in the dark when it comes to tech stuff) and these are so easy to use… very intuitive, plug it in and it basically explains itself… didn’t really even need the manual to figure out how it works.It cooks to accurate temperatures as well. Some reviews stated that the cook temps were off, but I have not found this to be the case and have used an oven thermometer to test the termperatures. Besides using it for toast, I’ve made cookies, frozen dinners, mini pizzas, and a whole slew of things I would normally use the oven for, but in small batches… not having to turn on my oven and preheat for 20 minutes to cook a small portion of something is not only a time saver but an electricity saver as well.Cleaning the inside of the glass can be a challenge if you have large hands… fortunately for me I have small enough hands that I can get under it with a cleaning cloth and wipe off any grunge.Another thing I LOVE is that the crumb tray is full-size… it covers the entire bottom of the oven and is easily removable from underneath the bottom rack. No having to pop open crumb trays (like my old oven and toaster) amid a shower of toast crumbs. This is really easy to clean.I do wish the provided tray was large enough to fit into the rack slots… why HB only made it wide enough to sit on top of the rack is a bit of a mystery.All in all, for $49, this is easily one of the best things I’ve purchased for the house in a long time and would gladly buy this again.
