Hamilton Beach Easy Reach Toaster Oven Silver 31127D

Great product and just the right size for a small family.

Hamilton Beach Toaster Ovens are the best! This is our fourth one in 22 years. They work great & are simple to use without all the bells & whistles of most. The easy access roll back top is such a huge help, especially when you don’t have a lot of counter space. Was thankful to find the model 31127D available.

It seems very nice but I think I need some more time to get used to it.

This toaster oven is small/compact. I love the door as the prior oven I had opened from the top and eventually the door wouldn't close all the way.

The coating/finish of the Oven Rack is flacking-off exhibiting RUST underneath. See photos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great for toasting bread as well as quickly heating frozen foods like pizza. The curved front makes it easy to add/remove stuff. The convection fan sometimes makes a bit of noise, but no other issues so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had barely unpacked my toaster oven and was about to read the instructions when my college-age daughter came home from school and saw what I was doing. I also happened to have dough rising at the time, dough for some dinner rolls. She was obviously interested in the machine, and I figured it was for her very modest apartment near the school, about a hundred miles from home. I didn’t let on, but suggested we give it a try on the homemade rolls. The three dials (Temperature, Function: Bake, Broil or Toast, and Timer) are a virtual guide to using the machine by themselves. Simply paying attention to the dial settings allows anyone to master the machine while using it on the job. It is quite compact and the door which opens by sliding up adds to its space-saving quality. The homemade rolls became our test case. We used the baking setting, of course, and the result was near bakery quality rolls. Unfortunately, my daughter managed to convince me that the convenience, compact size, and flexibility of the oven made it something she needed in her small quarters more than I did. It went off to college with her, but I did get an email thanking me for it very much, and letting me know how much of a help it was to her busy college student life. So, it not only serves its baking function well, it also makes a great gift that will keep your children, particularly college student children, in your graces. Of course, I told her she was more than welcome. Yes, the compact size and versatility made it perfect, but not for me! She's got it, and I'm back in the market.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite feature of this product is the roll-top door. The simple but clever design eliminates the possibility of injury caused by rubbing against a hot open door while removing food from the oven. My older children can safely practice independence in the kitchen while using this product. I love that I can easily cook or reheat smaller portions. When outdoor temperatures heat up, I will continue to have the benefits of an oven without heating up my house. I have had no problems reaching product recommended cooking temperatures or cooking times. A feature that surprised me was how easily the oven rack and pan slide outward. It couldn't get any easier to turn-over or remove food. Another nice feature is a 30 minute timer with auto shut off. The timer seemed loud at first, however, I've come to appreciate the reminder! I'm extremely satisfied with the value I've received from this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this oven! It is now summer and it is perfect for not heating up the whole kitchen. It is easy to use. The roll up door makes it easy to put food in and out!. I've cooked bacon, cookies, chicken and some squash this week. The stainless looks great with my other appliances and it doesn't take up too much room. Check this one out-- you will be glad you did.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new HB Easy Reach Toaster Oven with Roll Top Door recently made its debut in my kitchen. It's the ideal replacement for the previous one. The roll top design is quite innovative -- easy food removal from the oven to the countertop or serving dish.....easy cleaning since there are no food spills on door.....food particles are collected in easy to remove tray. Control knobs are easy to turn/read. 30 minute timer with safe "stay on" setting is a major plus. Cooking temperatures are well regulated -- foods cook to perfection. I love my new kitchen toy!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is good size toaster oven. Large enough to be useful and save having to fire up your big oven. I always thought it a waste of energy to preheat and put 8 cinnamon rolls in a huge oven for 14 minutes. In fact, this toaster oven did this in a round 10" pan with no pre-heating and they came out just as well. This saved time and energy. The toaster oven has 3 control knobs. 1) Bake temperature up to 450 2) Bake, Broil, or Toast, 3 position switch 3) Low tech mechanical timer up to 30 minutes. (tick, tick, tick, and more ticking until the ding) I found all the markings on the 3 controls to be difficult for me to read unless I catch the light at just the right angle. It has black lettering on stainless. In the future, I would pay more for a digital display and timer, since my eyes are not what they use to be. There is a light and dark icon on the timer control around the 4 minute mark. There is a note to turn the timer past 10 before returning it back to toasting time. That seems to be a kick back to 50 years ago that I thought was long gone in this digital age. But it works. I picked up one of those "Is it Delivery or Digiorno" 12" pizzas. It fit in fine due to the curved extension on the backside of the oven. I followed the directions of 20 minutes at 400 and it came out perfect. Tasted great. Doing this pizza makes you appreciate the roll-top door. Not only for getting it into the oven but taking the hot pizza out is so easy because you can drop it straight down in front of the oven, preventing mishaps. I made an English muffin which I only wanted toasted on the split side. The directions for doing this in the user guide are wrong, giving the same directions as for toast. Instead I set the control to "Broil" at maximum temperature and it came out a perfect golden brown in about 8 minutes. I was able to fit two existing full size cupcake trays for a total of 12 cupcakes at one time. They were done perfect in 20 minutes, no pre-heating. I can also fit two full size casserole dishes. After I buy a 9"x11" pan, I plan on doing cakes also. I grilled hot dogs right on the wire rack with the broiler tray slid in underneath and they were done quickly in the time it took me to prepare my hot dog buns and microwave a side dish. Always line your broiler tray with tin foil because it tends to stain easily. Frozen stuffed clams also came out great just using the wire rack. The rack and broiler tray slide in and out of the two positions with little effort. I would have liked one more position. The crumb tray works nicely also. I find the amount of heat generated for a countertop appliance of this size to be normal and safe. The amount of countertop real estate used is justified by its ability to fit items you wouldn't expect of a toaster oven. This toaster oven earns Its position on the kitchen counter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toaster oven is a terrific. Easy operating, cooks to temperature setting and easy to keep clean. Roll top door makes it a great space saver. Convection feature cooks foods faster than bake setting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The toaster oven has excellent features. We simply love the roll top door for easy accessibility when cooking and cleaning. The settings are easy to use and cooks items perfectly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toaster oven is the perfect size for my countertop. Love the roll-top door. Makes opening the oven so much easier and no worries if you have a plate or something in front of it. Works great from making toast to baking muffins.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As you can see from my photos, I don't have much counter space for appliances. This toaster oven is perfect for me as the door opens up, rather than down taking up precious prep space. For it's small "foot print", this appliance is ideal for pizza, re-heats, and I've even made cupcakes in it without heating up my whole kitchen using a full size oven. The controls are easy to see and use. Using this oven and the controls is pretty straight forward. And the oven is sturdy enough that I would highly recommend this oven for every day use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Made individual pizzas which were great. Another night roasted veggies. With the roll top door it is so easy to clean!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a very small kitchen with limited counter space, I love that the lid rolls in and it does not heat up the kitchen like my oven does. It will make my summer so much cooler in my kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved my toaster oven last week and couldn't wait to try it. I absolutely love the roll top. It protects you from burns.It has cooking options and temperature options, which are wonderful! Cleaning is easy. Food heats up quickly and the I love how roomy the inside is. I also love the fact that I don't always have to turn my regular oven on every time I need to cook something.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this couple weeks now and it's a nice toaster oven, but small. I do like it, but wish it also had convection feature, I'll get that feature next time I get one. It's perfect size for 1 or 2 people, but too small for a big family. Perfect for single people or those in college. So far it has worked great on everything I've cooked in it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed was the huge capacity of this toaster and the great design of the roll top door. It so convenient and the larger capacity does not mean the unit takes up more room on my counter. It is actually amazing how streamlined this toaster is. It is has basic functions to toast, broil and bake and it does each one of them nicely. It is simple to use right out of the box. I love the design, and I like the look of it on my counter. The removable crumb tray makes it a breeze to clean up. I would definitely recommend this unit.
