Hamilton Beach Countertop Oven with Convection

This Hamilton Beach oven fits in the same amount of space as most of the new toaster ovens, but it has a much larger interior space. With the choice of regular baking or convection, broiler, as well as a rotisserie, your options are limitless! I love the 2 hour timer!!
This purchase was as a replacement for a former countertop oven and I'm not at all disappointed! I have found that cheesecakes are not cracking, nor are my regular cakes, unlike in my regular full size oven. Granted, cookware is limited to nothing larger than a 12.5 X 12.5 inch size per rack (2 racks), but for everyday cooking you can't beat it! For holiday baking, it serves well as a back up oven. I recommend this oven to anyone wanting a small oven that can actually hold a decent amount of food in it---You can bake 2 twelve inch pizzas, or a dozen cupcakes; 4-6 whole chicken legs, a 6 lb. whole chicken, or even 4 full size chicken breasts can be baked in this oven, as well as several potatoes. I don't use the rotisserie much at all, but did enjoy the pork roast I made while trying out all the functions...Clean up is easy and the slide out lower rack catches crumbs. I love this oven!!
My only regret is that it doesn't come with an interior light, but then again, with all the features it has, there's no room for complaint!

It was exactly what we were looking for. The oven size is large. I just love the idea of not heating up the whole kitchen to use an oven. It is easy and convenient enough for my kids to use!

I am well acquainted with how to use a product like this, and my last one lasted 10 years. I am very pleased with the looks, price and how quickly the Hamilton Beach oven both warms up left overs, and cooks food, both using the convection mode and regular bake mode. This oven is deep and wide enough to allow cooking with my casserole dishes. Overall I really like the performance of this oven the best of all I've used, researched and seen to date!

Just put it into use a few days ago. So far I am very happy. Looks good and is easy to use. Except for size (ample for my needs), better and easier to keep clean than conventional oven.

My oven is used every day. It is one of my favorite items used in cooking.

I had read many reviews before purchasing this oven and was a little hesitant. But given the price, I had to give it a try! Now that I have used all functions I can give a reasonable assessment.

Size: It's big. If you don't have the room, get something smaller -- my 16" of vertical space seems about right. Hmmm, ability to cook 12" pizzas is great, but why is it I find most frozen pizzas bigger?

Gets hot: Obviously; it's an oven! It's not insulated so allow space and be glad it generates less ambient heat then your main oven. Also, since it bakes faster in convection mode, the duration of that heat is less. Keep children's fingers under control.

Rotisserie mode: Was a bit concerned as I had seen some negative comments mentioning "flimsy". While the forks are probably not to be considered heavy duty, they are adequate for the 4lb claimed capacity. Just take care centering your meat and tying loose ends as necessary. The pork tenderloin I cooked up was suitable for photography! Mess? only drippings on the pan below -- no spatter otherwise.

Durability: Too early to say much. All parts look good and seem to be of the proper weight. However, one of the included baking pans warps 1/2" or so at baking temperature and returns to shape as it cools. Haven't tried the second pan. This doesn't seem to be a problem but keeps me from giving it a perfect evaluation.

I recommend this unit without hesitation for anyone who has the space and would like to relegate their main oven to storage a storage space for pots.

I am am the middle of a kitchen redo and have no oven. I have only been using this product less than 2 weeks but am sold. Prefer the convection feature. Used regular Bake for making a cake. I split it into 2 foil pans and cooked at the same time. Lower level cooked much slower, higher level got a little dark, possibly a hot spot, but this was the 1st attempt. Overall, I highly recommend this unit. I'm also planning to take it when traveling in the RV.

I had to replace my old oven which was great and worked well for years. Unfortunately, they don't make this oven anymore and it is hard to find an oven that is a big as it was (42L). So this oven was the largest I could find that would fit on a countertop. I have tried several countertop convection ovens purchased from several stores and none of them heated to the temp they claim including ovens costing twice what this one cost. I was happy to see this oven was close, only off by 25 degrees. However, I returned this oven as the rotisserie did not work. When I called Hamilton Beach, they were pleasant and suggested I return the oven to Wal Mart which I did. As this oven is only available as a site to store item, I had to buy another oven as a replacement as the store doesn't carry them in stock. I received my second oven and found the door misaligned and it didn't come close to heating up as the first one I purchased. The rotisserie didn't seem to work well either. So back to the store this one went. I have no idea why someone can't make a reliable convection oven with a rotisserie that works well anymore and isn't as small as a toaster.

I have not used my oven a whole lot yet but what I have used it, I really like it. It is a great little oven. The only complaint I have so far is that in the book it said that it would broil fish in about 15 minutes and it took a lot longer than that. But over all I would sat it is a great little oven. It is nice not having to heat my big oven for small things.
