2-in-1 Countertop Toaster Oven and Long Slot 2 Slice Toaster | Bake, Broil Toast | 2 Rack Positions | 60 Minute Timer | Automatic Shut Off | Shade Selector | Stainless Steel | 31156J

I just wanted something simple to be a small third oven and toaster. Like the simplicity of this. The dials are nice - actually prefer them over the digital screens. Looks great on my counter top. Have only used it to heat up leftovers and toast cinnamon raisin bread - the toast turned out perfect - in fact, I'd forgotten how nice toast could be. The oven part worked great to heat up the leftovers. Bought silicone liners for the crumb tray and haven't had to clean anything yet. Great choice.

This is a wonderful toaster oven! The built in toaster is a great addition, it fits bagels as well as toast. We love it and would recommend it! Jury is still out on the oven as we got it to cook frozen chicken that doesn’t TASTE like frozen chicken. We want it to come out like it does at Costco!

Not as quiet as I thought it would be. Works good and easy to use.

I had the older small version of this for about 16 years and finally killed the oven/toaster switch by walking away and leaving the oven at 400F, catching a couple pieces of garlic bread on fire. Thankfully the new model has an auto-off timer for the oven so it can save me if I forget it. The ding at the end is also helpful. The toast is even and consistent, but be aware if you use the oven first then make toast right afterward the toast will be way overdone unless you crank down the setting or manually eject it. I’m assuming it’s the same if you use the toaster twice back to back, like some other toasters I’ve used.

Update: I changed the rating from 4 stars to 5. After about two months the main complaint of toast not being brown on the bottom has changed. I'm not sure why, but the toast is now evenly brown all over an dit browns quicker than before. ??? Maybe the elements needed to "burn in"? Whatever the problem was, it seems to be resolved now. Hooray! Our toaster bit the dust and we haven't had a toaster oven in years so we thought it was a clever idea to combine both and it is with one drawback (the bottom 1/2" -1" so of the toast doesn't brown due to the placement of the elements. It's not a dealbreaker for me because what it does brown is nice and even. The whole slice feels toasted, it's just not all brown. (see update above) You need to hold the toaster lever down for a couple seconds for it to catch and start toasting. You can't just push it down and release. I like that there is a cancel button and you can lift the toast slightly to help in removing it. It's handy that you can toast different shapes of bread in the wide slot. I like the overall size of this oven. It doesn't take up a lot of space in the kitchen. Not much more than the large 4 slice toaster we had. The controls are easy to use and not complicated like some. You do have to turn on the timer to get the oven to work. It has a pleasant timer alert, a must for my husband. Note, the alert only works with the oven, not the toaster. I like that the toaster part closes when not in use by pushing a lever. The oven heats up quickly. We've used the broiler a lot and it works great. I like that you can prop the door partly open to allow heat to dissipate after use. I bought a set of pans made for toaster ovens and am glad I did. It makes it much more versatile. My only real issue is that the whole thing gets quite hot. We didn't put it under a low overhanging cabinet for that reason. You don't want to touch the edges of door (the handle is fine) or outside parts of the oven when taking food out. I got several small burns when I used it the first couple times. I'm more aware now. Overall it's a great little toaster/oven and we're happy with our choice.

This is perfect for my needs. I have MS and can no longer use the oven until this. It is on a countertop at a lower level for me and I was able to cook salmon on my own the other night without worry.+

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 value Cons: -The toaster portion toasts unevenly -The toaster took longer to toast than a traditional toaster Summary: 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.

I can't believe how much I'm using this appliance. It perfect for cooking small batches of cookies, 2 chicken breasts.. The toaster handles wide pan bread perfectly. Good appliance investment!

I love my new toaster oven. Had one years ago with toaster on top and glad I got another.

Que sean 2 en uno me gusto, mi cocina es chica y quedo perfecto tener tostador y horno juntos, calienta muy bien, hice una buena compra!

À la recherche d'un grille pain à fente longue qui peut griller également et des deux côtés à la fois, il semble bien que cela soit trop exiger d'un grille pain car j'ai dû retourner mes trois derniers achats jusqu'à l'achat de ce four grille-pain 31156 fait pas Hamilton-Beach, qui lui, remplit EXACTEMENT les fonctions auxquelles on est en droit de s'attendre d'un grille-pain. Je dois expliquer la photo de la rotie qui est légèrement brûlée sur les deux extrémités parce que la tranche de pain était congelée et légèrement courbée. Je dois aussi expliquer les reflets foncés qui sont le résultat du chandail du photographe car l'acier inoxydable est très réfléchissant, mais rassurez-vous, la couleur est bel et bien unie et le métal est lavable. Toutes mes félicitations à Hamilton-Beach pour cette idée de génie de joindre à l;a fois le grille pain à large et longue fente au mini four de cuisson qui nous permettra d'économiser pas mal sur les coûts d'électricité car nous n'emploierons pas la grosse cuisinière aussi souvent pour des petits items, ce qui était malheureusement le cas auparavant pour cuite une tourtière portion individuelle car le four à micro-ondes laisse une pâte molle alors que le four grille pain donnera une pâte croustillante ! Je recommande fortement cet achat.

Excelente produto, recomendo com certeza, pode comprar pessoal!!!

We use this every day. How does one live without one, really!? Toaster and can heat up pizza etc. So handy!!
