I'm not going to repeat what others have stated already about things you can do with this oven, however I will say it's worked great for us. We've made baked chicken, fish, roasted veggies, shepherds pie, and it was perfect for a 12" pizza. We live in Florida and it gets hot.....heating up our large oven for small meals (there's only two of us) isn't ideal. This is exactly what we needed! P.S. Haven't used the air fryer yet so cannot comment on that. I'll update this review, once I can share honest feedback on this feature. Read more
If you need a toaster, don't have an air fryer, and are looking for something that can also bake a frozen pizza as well as broil, this is for you! I am single, so using an entire oven for a small meal is slightly a waste. This thing is great! I use it to air-fry chicken nuggets, fries, burritos, and the like. I use it to cook frozen pizzas (DiGiorno pizzas fit with room to spare), and even broil sausage and hot dogs. It is also a great toaster, I usually have a bagel every morning. The door opens and you have instant access to the front of the oven, it is easy to slide stuff in and out, as well as hold a plate or pan underneath the food. the rack moves in and out like nothing, but is secure. It comes with a small baking pan and a fry basket that are both easy to clean. There is also a tray on the bottom that makes cleaning the inside a breeze. It does have a few flaws. The temperature knob doesn't seem as accurate as it could be, and you might have to cook food a bit hotter for a bit longer. The glass in the front is good, but it is not as easy to clean. Read more
This Hamilton Beach Toaster oven is a super nice and large appliance that I am just learning to use. Evn tho it arrived with a dent in the top that I didn't notice for a few days, I intend to keep it because it doesn't affect the workings of the unit. This ovenbroils does everything that the older units couldn't do. It bakes and toasts and broils and airfries and it is quite a nice looking unit in the kitchen. It is quite large and so you can bake a 12 inch pizza in it. I haven't tried the pizza yet but that is next on my list. A nice feature is that the front door goes up instead of going down on your surface. For it's price and good looks and varity of uses, this is a winner. Read more
I was searching for an air fryer/toaster oven combo for our RV. I purchased this one because of its size and the fact that the door doesn't take up counter space because it opens up and not down. It heats up fast and is super easy to use. 20 months later and it's still doing great! I Love all the features, it's quiet and I don't even need my propane oven any longer! I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this for my home kitchen as well. Read more
I adore this "roll top" entrance to a hot appliance and it looks great on a counter top surface. About 8 years ago I purchased this same toaster oven and donated to a family member that just moved to her first apartment. I re-purchased a new version that also has a Air fryer component. . . ..I am overjoyed with this updated version of a toaster oven. One stop shop to cooking. Downsizing and with minimal counter space - No problem as the size is about the same as any other. Always have been happy with the cooking speed, toasting bagels, and now air frying potatoes and veggies, works great. Everything I use this oven for tastes great. Not once has this appliance disappointed me -Highly recommend ! Read more
To be honest, calling this an air fryer is a bit much. But I don't really care, it's a great toaster oven. Having a convection option is nice, and the basket is practically a game changer; you won't have to flip things over halfway through cooking, because the hot air can get all around the food. Everything's well built, and the oven looks nice if you have matching stainless appliances. I can not stress enough how the lift-away door is amazing. Whether the door is open or closed, this thing takes up the same amount of counter space. That alone makes it a cut above other toaster ovens in its class. Plus, it can cook a full sized frozen pizza. I have nothing negative to say about this toaster oven. Read more
My friend has a very small kitchen and is not a cook. He has a stove that doesn't work and didn't want to buy a new one since he doesn't cook. He did need an oven that he could get frozen foods and bake a pizza in. I'm his researcher. He was going to buy some cheap one in Walmart but I told him he wouldn't be happy and it would turn him off all toaster ovens. He let me do my research and I found this one for him. He loves the roll up door saving him room and he has already put a frozen 12 inch pizza in it and it turned out just edible. . The oven does get very hot and he has had to adjust the temp back as well as the time on what he puts in it. Baked potato turned out great, better than microwave potato. All that being said. He tried different frozen pizzas. Rising crust, Detroit style, supreme, meat lovers etc. . The problem he is having is uneven cooking. The crust will burn before the toppings are done. He has adjusted time and temp, rotated pizza half way through, flipped the rack so the pizza wasn't so close to burners. pizzas would drip through the rack and down onto the elements. The user guide is useless. No instructions on rack placement, bake or air fry, or anything else. Contacted customer service. They were as useless as the user guide. In the description on Amazon it says convection. There is no convection setting. There is only an air fry setting. So do we air fry frozen pizza or bake? Have ordered a pizza pan to sit pizza on while cooking to hopefully solve the dripping problem. However the uneven cooking is still a problem. Do we lower the temp from the box pizza instructions and cook longer or adjust rack, Use bake or air fry? It's like trial and error. Have wasted several pizzas trying to figure out how to get it right. Have lowered my 5 star rating to 3 stars because of the problems and useless user guide and equally useless customer service. I'm sure it is still a quality oven for the price, you just are on your own trying to figure out how to cook in it. Read more
