Great Versatile Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised as to how many different functions this countertop oven has! Convection oven, air frying, regular oven, broiling, toasting - this thing does it all. I have only used it to bake and air-fry so far, but it has exceeded my expectations. It finished evenly and fast. Both of my sons have been using it as well. Besides having a large space to cook in, it comes with a mesh basket, bake pan, broil rack and a slide-out try to keep at the bottom for easy clean-up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got the oven last week and tried it last night on haddock fillets. My wife commented on how well it browned the surface and cooked the interior without drying it out! Fits perfectly on our counter-top and is quick and easy to clean up! This is a great addition to our stable of Hamilton Beach appliances

Versatile appliance in a small unit!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a toaster oven owner for several years, I was excited to see that Hamilton Beach has a toaster oven with convection, bake and broil, but that it also includes an air fryer function! On my bucket list so I ordered it right away. Price is comparable to other units but I wanted the Hamilton Beach and have had them for over 40 years! HB has a great reputation with me!
Upon arrival, the outside shipping box was damaged, and the inside box was also damaged. The oven was packed securely in the package. When I pulled the oven out of the box, the racks and pan were shipped in plastic bags inside the box and not the oven. The damaged portion of the boxes was enough force to bend the edge of the baking pan that slides on the guide to insert it. Originally all the racks slid with difficulty but after heating the unit they slide easily.
First thing I usually look for on a new kitchen toy is the instruction manual. Hamilton Beach doesn’t have one! It is a map folded type of brochure in different languages. Everything is together one after another. That said, there is bold type to find each category. Each operation of the unit is explained clearly. Again, I wish it was a booklet that is easier to store and use for reference. I will put this in a small zippered plastic storage bag to keep it handy.
The unit fits in the same space as my old toaster oven and plugged in quite easily as cord is ample length to safely plug in a convenient place.
Next, control knobs…Each is nice, smooth and attached securely. No chance of cutting a finger on any edges. All the markings are easy to see and read, except on the middle knob…which is the temperature knob. At the very bottom is the Toast/Broil selection. The marker stops just before those words. My thought is, is it supposed to? Is it calibrated properly so that all the temp settings are in the correct location on knob? The first knob is the selection of Bake, Broil, Air Fry, Toast, and Convection Bake. That knob when turned clicks on to each selection. Great feature! I am a fan of knobs that turn and not the electronic touch pads. So, this is a plus to me! The third knob is the timer. It works just like a regular little kitchen timer. Turn the knob past 10 and then to the desired cook time. Easy enough!
So, after rinsing and drying the racks and pans, I slid them in and out of the unit. They fit snug. Snug means they do not slide out easily. When they heat up, I was certain the expansion will not let me easily slide the rack without using a potholder. Typically, I use a fork to pull it out some. Well, a surprise, the racks slide much easier! Another plus!
The first thing I made was toast. Easy enough to set on Toast, light or dark toast. I went with light. So it starts to heat up and there is no illumination inside! It is difficult to see the inside items cooking! Did someone want to cut corners or did they just forget. My prior toaster ovens always had a light. Since I couldn’t see well inside it, the toast burned before the timer went off. Ugh…and that was the light setting. Next time I will try a lighter setting. The next day I made perfect toast!!
The next test is dried apple chips. I found an easy recipe online, that suggests baking on 300 degrees to remove excess moisture first before air frying them. I did the 5 minutes preheat as suggested for the oven function. It did warm up and per instructions put the tray under the air fryer basket to catch drips. It got the moisture out of them quickly! Then I switched to air fry to finish them up. Wow! That fan is powerful!! Again I wish it had an interior light to see what is happening so I don’t open up and lose heat. The temp seems a tad high as my chips were ready so quick and didn’t take as long as recipe indicated. This is second thing that cooked really fast. I will need to lower temp when cooking. Again, there needs to be a light inside to be able monitor.
I have tried making sweet potato chews for the dog and after 2 batches still need to experiment. They either burn or are undercooked. I had better success in my range oven.
I made pork chops…about ¾”thick. Followed directions online…they were a bit crunchy inside but I think that is because they didn’t have enough marbling to make them moist.
I will keep experimenting to figure out the air fryer portion.
If you need a toaster oven and want the bonus of an air fryer then this is a good purchase for you. If you want it just for the air fryer, I would suggest to check out the individual air fryers, which would be easier to store.
Plus: Fits in space of a regular toaster oven, makes great toast and oven heats well.
Cons: Needs an interior light!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great product! So nice to have so many functions all in one appliance, now I don’t have to have several small appliances on my counter top. I’m able to use this oven instead of my home oven, which saves me money, and I use it daily!!

Fantastic Air Fryer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I were just talking about mixing up the way we cook some foods and were talking about air fryers because they are supposed to be a little healthier for you since it's not a full deep fryer so this came at a perfect time! I love that this fits nicely on our countertop and that the design goes with our appliances very well. I love that the pieces are so easy to clean and use. The controls are so easy to use as well so there really is nothing complicated about it. I love all the different settings and I love how fast it cooks things. There is really nothing bad to say about this product. It works just like it says it does and more! It's better than we expected and we would definitely recommend it!

Great Features! Air Fryer and More!
on January 31, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is for you, if like me, you put off purchasing an air fryer because you were afraid that it would be just one more appliance taking up space in your kitchen. It is similar to a toaster oven in that it can bake, broil, toast. It even has convection setting. But what makes it really special is the Air Fry feature!
One of my main reasons for wanting an air fryer was to make healthy food easily and quickly. Upon opening the box I set out to find a simple recipe to make using the air fry setting. A recipe for sweet potato chips caught my interest. With just a touch of oil, salt, and pepper, a single sweet potato was transformed into a snack of healthy crisp sweet potato chips that took about 15 minutes in the oven. I was hooked! The air fry basket is larger than many of the single use Air Fryer products on the market. It was easy to clean too! (No sticking.)
The other features of the oven have proven to work as expected with no complaints. The oven knobs are nicely sized. They are large and substantial making it easy to change settings. The oven is attractive with a stainless steel coat. One thing to note is that the oven is larger (taller) than a toaster oven and will take up space on the counter. That's fine by me as it's an appliance that has earned a spot in my kitchen.
