Hamilton Beach 2-in-1 Countertop Toaster Oven and Long Slot 2 Slice Toaster, 60 Minute Timer and Automatic Shut Off, Shade Selector, Stainless Steel (31156)

You might be looking for a toaster oven. I had been looking for a long time. Finally got this one. It is very good. Toaster is terrific. Oven works great. Not great height ….I can put three sweet potatoes and pizzas in to bake. But nothing really of great height. Easy to use!It cleans so quickly and thoroughly. Really happy with this. Takes up smaller amount of space.Looks elegant on my smaller countertop,,,,no noise.Price has even gone down since my purchase.I recommend this toaster oven.Thanks

I'm very pleased with the size and function of this appliance. It is easy to use and, so far, has performed very well. For preparing small meals it beats heating up a big oven. The toaster part has a wide slot making it easy to toast thicker bread.

I've had my Hamilton Beach 2 in 1 toaster oven for 9 months now. Here is my take on the pros and cons:PROS:- It makes great toast! Toast is evenly browned on both sides and, of course, it's nostalgic and fun to use the toaster feature.- The oven works as expected.- It's easy to clean.CONS:- The pop up feature is too low, making it a bit dangerous to remove your toast. I haven't burnt my fingers yet but won't be surprised if I do sometime. This is the major drawback of this product.- Of minor concern, the toaster oven makes a clicking noise that lasts throughout the entire toasting time, prompting me to nickname it "the tap dancing toaster." It doesn't really bother me, though.I would definitely buy this again, but I hope future upgrades pop the toast up so it can be easily grabbed. Enjoy!

My wife wanted this for Christmas, but I'm not a big fan of toaster ovens. You know what they say, "Happy Wife, Happy Life," so I bought it. Having owned dozens of toasters in my life, this is the only one I have ever had that will toast bread evenly , top to bottom, both slices, on both sides! Ya, only 2 slices at a time, but they are PERFECT! Bonus is, you can toast Those huge long slices from a sourdough loaf. A totally different kind of heating element, not those flimsy zig zag wires. The oven works awesome also. Has an accurate temp setting and timer, so it shuts off when the timer goes ding. I would totally recommend this, especially for a college student or single person.

I don't understand the bad reviews I read about this product, it is great, and I love it. In regard to the reviews on the noise it makes, it is the timer when you are using the oven, and the noise is very minimal. This is by far the best one I have had over the years and probably the quietest. I definitely recommend it. It looks great too!

3rd Round with this toaster model. The first one (Circa 2003) was good and lasted about 12 years of daily use and abuse. The second one (Circa 2015) was smaller and pretty cheap and chintzy compared to the first one, like a flimsy cheap piece of Chinese crap, but it was surprisingly resilient and got the job done toasting and reheating crispy leftovers. I had to replace it because the springs that clamp bread upright stopped working and my toast was getting bent out of shape. This one, is the biggest of all, nearly twice the size of Gen 2 and has an added feature of a timer.

Pros:-Toaster and Toaster oven are easy to use and switch between-Timer and temperature control knobs are nice additions that are easy to use-Toaster oven portion worked perfectly-Will save on counter space by combining the appliances-Decent valueCons:-The toaster portion toasts unevenly-The toaster took longer to toast than a traditional toasterSummary:I cannot recommend this product as the toaster portion was sub-par in my experience. However if you are hurting for kitchen space and need a good toaster oven that occasionally can be used as a toaster then this is probably be a good product for you.Detailed Review:While this product is a Countertop Oven And Long Slot Toaster, it is sub-par in the latter. The heating element is below the the toasting slot such that the bottom is heated more than the top. The toasting slot is also on the short side. I toasted several waffles with heights of between 4-4.5 inches using the toaster and often the top of the waffle was near the top opening of the toasting tray thus further contributing to the heating non-uniformity. Basically the top would be warm while the bottom was crisp at 5th setting and the top would be cool while the bottom was warm at the 4th setting. Further the toasting seemed to take longer than a traditional toaster so I did not see the 40% faster toasting.Reviewers seem split on whether there is a toasting issue and some specified the 31156 model did not have one so I gave it a chance. However, my 31156 model did have the uneven toasting issue so your mileage may vary.The toaster oven portion worked perfect;y well for cooking mini pizzas and reheating steak. Both the timer and temperature controls appeared to work well and the timer is a nice addition to keep you from overcooking you food or leaving the appliance on. Small note: the timer control knob is a bit tight if you exceed the desired time and try to rotate it back so you will need give it some extra force to rotate back to the desired time.

HAMILTON BEACH DOESN’T DISAPPOINT!!! THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE LITERAL TOASTER OVEN THAT WE HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF OWNING!!! IT IS THE MOST AESTHETICALLY APPEALING TOASTER OVEN AND DOESN’T HAVE THE CHEEZY FLAT BUTTONS THAT ALWAYS BREAKDOWN…I HOPE THEY MOVE INTO THE APPLIANCE SPACE ❤️❤️❤️
