Hamilton Beach - Easy Reach 4-Slice Toaster Oven - Candy apple red

The first Hamilton Beach - Easy Reach 4-Slice Toaster Oven we purchased stopped working within the first six months of use. Thinking it was a lemon, we decided to purchase one again. Pros: - Door opens upwards and tucks into the top, so lots of room to maneuver - Because the front is curved, and the handle to open is positioned on the bottom, a lot of light can enter the oven which makes monitoring food items easy - Oven tray/rack can be positioned fairly low so there's more leeway to maneuver food items - Bottom crumb-catcher tray is removable and easy to clean - Spacious Cons: - Cord is extremely short, coming in at a little over two feet - Rubber feet could be grippier. Shifts a bit too easily, in my opinion - Heat dispersion plate could be designed better, as there are some noticeable hot spots within the toaster oven - Dial knobs should be marked more clearly to indicate positioning-- as it stands, it's just a dent on the face of the silver knob which can be difficult to see. - Removable crumb-catcher tray doesn't have a lip on the back edge so, if you don't remove it carefully, you'll spill crumbs. TL;DR: Safe and easy to use. Some design flaws but nothing deal-breaking. Quality control MAY be an issue but it's too early to tell. Thanks for reading!

When I unpacked the oven I was quite pleased with the sturdy construction as well as the aesthetics. I found only one problem - the toasting rack had an unsoldered prong. Since it arrived in a shrinkwrapped box I called Hamilton Beach. Thanks to Brooke, Renee and Liz with H. B.'s product support a new rack is on its way. I'm also grateful to the gentleman with Best Buy's Rewards program: I'm sorry I can't find the paper with your name. I had asked about a $5 reward I lost because of an exchange and 'Gentleman' not only made sure the $5 was reissued, he said " I'm going to do you one better" and reissued $25 in rewards. Long Story Short: Great product and Excellent Customer Service. Many thanks to you Ladies & Gentleman! :)

I bought this to replace my old toaster oven. What I was drawn to was the roll back lid. It's super easy to remove for cleaning, and allows great access to the inside. My kid has a fear of getting burned, this helps alleviate that fear since there's more room for hands. There's also a slide out tray on the bottom, which makes cleaning that part a breeze! It does get hot - super hot! It heats more like a real oven, so it's a little slower to start as it preheats but it heats/cooks evenly. I'd buy it again.

We purchased this in July of 2014. Loved it until April of 2015 when we saw a spark come off of the top inside coil and it stopped working. Brought it to Best Buy and they couldn't return it even though under the 1 year warranty. Had to call Hamilton Beach and they said I can get a replacement... but WE have to PAY for the shipping which will be a minimum of $14.00. So... even though its under warranty ... WE HAVE TO PAY SHIPPING. First and LAST time with a Hamilton Beach product.

This is our first toaster oven and we think it is great. Does a good job and is easy to clean. The roll up door makes it easy to load and empty. Sliding wire racks are also a good feature. The temperature dial is easy to turn but hard to read the setting point. The timer dial is very stiff and when you do toast the instructions tell you to turn to 10 then back to "toast" setting. Why? Why not just turn it tio the desired toast setting?

Would rate this the best toaster oven I've ever owned. Door is larger than the norm, subsequently there's ample room for easy access into and removal of whatever you are cooking at the time. Another plus is the cooking time; the oven heats fast and toast/bagels, etc. is ready in a fraction of the time. I am extremely happy with this purchase and would recommend this oven over the others on the market.

I was a little apprehensive to purchase this product. I was afraid that I might not like it as I never had a toaster oven. Well, once I actually used it, I was thrilled with it. It is excellent for reheating leftover foods. And, I love that it opens upwards which is much safer to use without worrying about burning yourself! A great product!

This is my first toaster oven not too bad for the price good for small items like toasts I wish there was a few more temp settings thing I love the most is how the door opens to the top haven't seen any other units like this so the door is never in the way if you're looking to spend under 50 This one is great
