Hamilton Beach Toaster Oven In Charcoal | Model# 31148 Reviews

This is a good toaster oven , the only problem is the writings around the knobs which is in white and really hard to see.

Works great as a toaster for bread, as well as a mini oven for things like burritos and tater tots. We used it almost daily, and I bought another one for my girlfriend too.

So far so good! I've only had it only for a few days, but it is better than my Black and Decker already. It's really cute, a little smaller than my old one but still holds the same amount inside, Fits on the counter nicely and so far toast is coming out great!

Though smaller than my usual preference, I find this item very efficient with its wider range of settings, like warm and degrees shown of toast settings. I haven't seen Bake use the top heating element before, but one could change the setting to Warm to avoid that. The print is small around the nobs, but one learns the gradations and they become automatic to the hand. Hamilton Beach has distinguished itself for me with this effective unit, and I will be very open to the brand for other items in the future.

We love Hamilton Beach Toaster Oven but it takes some practice to get used to the settings, especially for toast but it's all coming together. Thanks.

Really compact yet holds 4 slices. Heats quickly and makes good toast! Only one complaint which is: the knobs are poorly labeled with very small print, nearly unreadable, Other then that great oven! and cheap too

As far as the function of this toaster oven, I am sure it works just find. What I was disappointed in was the size of the tray inside. It is advertised as holding 4-slices. I could not get 2-slices to fit onto the tray. The size tray that comes with this unit was just too small to meet my needs. So I returned it to the store and purchased the Hamilton Beach 6-slice Toaster Oven. This size tray and rack is larger and meets my baking needs. However, I could only get 4-slices of bread on the tray that is advertised to hold 6-slices. But, I am satisfied with it anyway. I love the Hamilton Beach products. The one I had before was also a Hamilton Beach. I used it for over five years and just decided to upgrade.

Had an older model Toaster Oven (not same brand) that quit working after 5 years of use, and saw this model on sale after Thanksgiving for almost 1/2 off... This one is so much better & heats faster than my old one. A well made & name brand product with many nice features and controls that make it worth the regular price alone.

Bought it after my years old toaster gave out and I like to broil my steaks, chops etc and thought I'd give a toaster oven a try to save on oven electric and cleaning ease. I've only had it for two weeks. To use it for toast I've found that I need to use a separate timer because it is difficult to set the knob on the unit for the right amount of time as the settings markers which are pictures are not very precise and the toast has come out with varying degrees of how I want it. Did a T-bone steak and while I had to guess at the time by looking at the steak, it did a good job of broiling it. Clean up is not difficult for the three parts but spills from another item on the lower heating element required using SOS pad which I'm not sure is the right thing to do on it since cleaning instructions only say use a soapy cloth or sponge. As to continued reliability or continued good cooking I cannot say since its still too new and not used that often to give a real rating so I gave it Average as used so far.

I wanted a simple toaster oven and didn't want to spend a lot. So far I have only used this toaster oven for making toast and bagels, and that's probably what it will be used for most of the time. I was amazed at how fast this toasts! My last toaster oven seemed to take forever. This toaster oven is the perfect size (not too big or too small), at a low price, and works great! I bought two, since I have a home in one state and a condo in another state. I have already recommended it to friends and family.
