Hamilton Beach 4 Slice Toaster Oven Reviews

FYI - I found this appliance to have a really short electrical cord. Had to rearrange things in order to place it right next to an outlet. It is also a bit smaller on the inside than my old toaster oven. But the old one died, so I will get over it. I have only used the toast setting so far. But it makes great toast! The price was very reasonable. So I am happy with my purchase!

Like that it takes little space

My hubby and I loves toast but our old toast doesn't seem to work as how we wanted our toast to come out. We've seen the Hamilton Beach 4-Slice Toaster online and thought we could try it. It works great! It toast evenly on both sides! How I wish it was bigger but other than that we are very happy with our new Hamilton Beach Toaster! I would definitely recommend it!!!

This is the first toaster oven I have ever used and I don't know why I never used one before! I cooked a pizza, made toast, cooked fish,reheated leftovers,etc.. The pizza cooked perfectly in this little oven, I was so impressed with it. It cooked just as good as if it was in a regular oven except it was so much easier. It did an awesome job with my toast as well. It crisped things up just as I hoped it would. Very easy to use, the door goes up so it's not in your way when you take hot food out of it and because it does you can access your food while it's cooking.I just think that it's a great cooking tool to have in your kitchen!! The only thing I have to comment about is the tray. It seemed to leave some residue or something on it after cooking the toast. Didn't totally clean up(even after referring to the manual about cleanup).Overall it is a great, great, great product!!!!!!!!!!! Won't be cooking much in the big oven anymore!!

This toaster oven is good for what it claims to do. It is a smaller toaster oven, but it still performs nicely and does quite a bit. It would be fantastic for one or two people. The following options fit for one toasting/baking cycle three bakery style bagel halves 4-5 refrigerated bagel halves 6 mini bagel halves (great for mini pizzas) 4-5 toaster waffles (4 round, 5 square) 4-5 toaster pastries 4-6 English muffin halves (depending on brand) 4 crumpets personal frozen pizza 3 pizza pockets 6 refrigerated or frozen cookie or brownie portions 4 slices of bread (standard loaf or Texas Toast) 2 slices of bread (wide pan) 1 bolillo or hoagie roll sliced lengthwise in half for French bread style pizza 2 smaller chicken breast halves, 4 thighs or 5 tenders 2 meat counter burger patties or six sliders 3 kid servings of frozen fries or tots The toasting and baking has been even. I agree with the "start lighter and tweak" manual recommendation for toasting. The design does not automatically pull out the rack with the open door, but that is not important to me. I only had two issues with the unit and they had nothing to do with performance. The manual made the timer function seem more awkward than it actually is. The biggest issue I had with the unit is that there need to be a removable sticker/label sealing the door closed that states that is a 10 minute preheat "burn in" prior to the first use. Yes, it is in the manual. However, if it is not your first toaster oven, you may not be inclined to check the manual for a slice of toast. I read the manual thoroughly prior to first use and knew what to expect. I could see someone wanting to take it back to the store as defective if they glossed over that important piece of information though. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is my first toaster oven and I don't know I have lived without one. I am a widower so I live alone and this four slice oven is just perfect for me. It does so much. Of course I have made toast in it, baked pork chops, and even grilled a steak just to see how it would turn out and everything came out perfect. But the best thing I have found so far is reheating leftover pizza. The microwave makes the crust soggy so it takes away the taste of the pizza but the toaster oven heats it up and keeps the crust firm like it should be. The dials are easy to use and plainly marked. The only thing I don't like is that the top of the oven gets hot but I understand that the heat has to go somewhere. Other than that this toaster oven is great. I can not compare it to others because this is the only one I have ever used. I highly recommend this one. Good design and easy to use. Plus it does not take up too much counterspace.

There's clear printing of temperatures and functions around the knobs. I really like being able to pull out the crumb tray, and is easy to clean overall. Making toast is tricky but think that putting rack on top level is best but it must be watched closely. I started with the lightest setting, then went darker in small increments. Potatoes bake much quicker in this one compared to my very old toaster oven. It looks good on the counter, doesn't take up a lot of space, and it's a nice size for just the two of us [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I received this toaster oven at no charge. I've never had a toaster oven before; I never thought I needed one. I have an oven, a toaster, and a microwave, so why would I need a toaster oven? Why indeed. I gave away my toaster, it's too warm to use my oven, and my microwave is slowing down and losing power. I love my new toaster oven! Besides toast (duh) it makes fantastic melted cheese sandwiches, cooks pizza like a pro (no more cold pizza from delivery), reheats leftovers, and is easy to clean. What more could you ask?

This toaster oven replaces one and is great improvement. It's smaller but had the same amount of toasting and baking area. I can fit 2 big sliced bagels in there. We have used it to bake chicken fingers, melt cheese on top French onion soup, and everyday toasting. So much better than an upright toaster. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have baked potatoes, open faced sandwiches, bagels and mini quiches. The toaster/oven easily saves any consumer energy $ due to its size, so I use it for its broiler/toaster functions to either completely cook or finish menu items like creme brulee!
