5 out of 5 stars One of the best purchases I've made lately!   August 1, 2008

I wanted to buy a toaster oven for two reasons: 1) I didn't feel like heating up the house when it's 100F outside and 2) I really hate my regular oven (always have a problem with getting the things baked evenly as the source of the heat is on the bottom, and you don't really want to broil your cake to get a nice brown crust). So I was looking for something compact, yet large enough to serve most of my baking/roasting needs. I also wanted it to have a convection and rotisserie options. Having researched dozens of toaster ovens, my husband and I chose this one, and I can tell you that we're very happy with our choice. It has all those things I was looking for, and the price is unbeatable (especially with free shipping).

I've had it for about a month, and have used it extensively for all kinds of things: roasted potatoes, two pizzas at once (note: when you bake two pizzas or anything else using 2 racks at a time, it's a good idea to rotate the baking sheets halfway through the cooking time, which is what I did with pizzas and two sheets of roasted potatoes), numerous batches of blueberry muffins (to my surprise, I could fit 16 muffin cups on a baking sheet that came with this oven - a full batch of muffins!), chicken, a chocolate cake...I absolutely love this thing! It's bigger than it looks because it's quite deep, yet it fits nicely on my counter under one of the cabinets. While the exterior does warm up when it's working, I didn't need to move it from underneath the cabinet (although I do take away a basket of tomatoes that normally "lives" near this oven when I use it).I love the convection feature a lot - it saves time and - finally - allows even baking. I haven't used the rotisserie option yet, but am certainly planning to. The only thing I don't use it for is actually toasting of bread - we have a regular wide slot toaster and are happy with the way it works, so no reason to.

I don't think I'll be going back to my regular oven until Thanksgiving - too bad I can't cook a turkey in this one!




5 out of 5 stars Evereything I expected   July 28, 2008

This is an amazing oven, well worth the price. Everything we made so far, from simple French Fries to complete chicken rotisserie style, came out perfect. Things that should be crunchy (like fries or the bottom of a thin crust pizza) will be crunchy, count on it. The oven is large enough to fit a 4 pound chicken and still rotate it and the meat stays a LOT juicier than any rotisserie chicken you buy at your grocery store. Use fresh chicken, it makes a real difference.

The controls are simple, self explanatory and feel robust. The oven heats up very quick. This is essential to me since I often attempt not so trivial dishes that start out with low to mid temperature baking or convection baking and end with a phase of high heat broiling. Since it sits on a counter top and has a relatively large opening it is very easy to clean ... if there ever is something to clean. Most of the time wiping it with a paper towel just does the job as there hardly is anything at all. The only thing I regularly wash is the crumb tray, which is a very nice thing to have.

You need ample space for this oven since the sides and top get pretty hot. You don't want anything sitting closer than 12 inches. Especially not while you run it for two hours at maximum heat to grill that chicken. We don't use our dining area as a formal dining room, but rather as a kitchen extension with plenty of counter and cabinet space. So that isn't a concern for us.

We am very satisfied with this product.

5 out of 5 stars So Much Oven for So Little Money!   July 27, 2008

I almost didn't buy this oven because the price was so low, I figured it had to be problematic. But the other glowing reviews convinced me to try, and was I pleasantly surprised!

We use it out on our screen porch as our "summer oven," and it gets heavy use almost nightly -- chickens, roasts, potatoes, casseroles, you name it. The heating is even and steady, and the results are dependable. I especially like that it doesn't have any computerized elements that can fail...it is simple, based on time-tested analog technology.

Can you believe, we are expanding our summer kitchen...so we just bought a second one of the same model! I'd highly recommend this to anyone who needs a good, dependable, affordable workhorse.

Exterior dimensions are approx. 15 deep X 13 high X 19 wide.
Interior USABLE dimensions (measured from bottom rack to upper heating element) are 12 deep X 12.5 wide X 8.5 high.

Appearance is not flashy, in fact it looks cheap: black plastic and stamped metal. (At that price, who cares?)

Cleaning is easy with the pull-out crumb tray.

My husband bought me this just a few days ago. I had been wanting one for some time, after a bad experience with a different brand. I thought I would give this one a chance, since it had the size I was looking for. Most of the available toaster ovens are considerably smaller, so I held out for this one. Hamilton Beach is a name I have trusted for years, and it is because they are good quality products for a good price. I really love this little oven. For two people it is perfect, and it would be perfect even for larger families. When the kids come home for the holidays, I will use my double oven range, and probably use this one too. It is a godsend during the hot summer months. Wouldn't we all bake more if we could do it without turning the house into the waiting room for the sun?! This is also a great size for my tiny kitchen - I stack it on top of the microwave which of course, I don't use at the same time. I am currently baking some blueberry muffins which smell wonderful, and best of all there is not a lot of heat blasting around the kitchen and dining room. This is also a great price, since the stores that stocked it charged more. This is probably one of the best investments my husband ever made, because he will get more homemade goodies and we won't suffer because of it. If you are interested in baking small batches of things, I highly recommend "Small-Batch Baking" by Debbie Maugans Nakos. There are outstanding recipes for tiny cakes, and small batches of cookies and brownies. If I were giving a gift to anyone who loves to bake, I would give them this oven and the book to go with it. My muffins just came out of the oven, and are nicely browned. Fantastic job! The only problem I had was in getting the muffin pan out, because with hot pads, you canonly pull it so far before then it slides back in! I would recommend using something to move the pan far enough out that you can remove it without burning yourself. I hooked it on one side with the rotisserie lift because it was handy. That worked fine, but I think next time I'll use a fork or a skewer. Alternately you could place the other pan on the little baking trays that come with the oven.
