My husband bought me this just a few days ago. I had been wanting one for some time, after a bad experience with a different brand. I thought I would give this one a chance, since it had the size I was looking for. Most of the available toaster ovens are considerably smaller, so I held out for this one. Hamilton Beach is a name I have trusted for years, and it is because they are good quality products for a good price. I really love this little oven. For two people it is perfect, and it would be perfect even for larger families. When the kids come home for the holidays, I will use my double oven range, and probably use this one too. It is a godsend during the hot summer months. Wouldn't we all bake more if we could do it without turning the house into the waiting room for the sun?! This is also a great size for my tiny kitchen - I stack it on top of the microwave which of course, I don't use at the same time. I am currently baking some blueberry muffins which smell wonderful, and best of all there is not a lot of heat blasting around the kitchen and dining room. This is also a great price, since the stores that stocked it charged more. This is probably one of the best investments my husband ever made, because he will get more homemade goodies and we won't suffer because of it. If you are interested in baking small batches of things, I highly recommend "Small-Batch Baking" by Debbie Maugans Nakos. There are outstanding recipes for tiny cakes, and small batches of cookies and brownies. If I were giving a gift to anyone who loves to bake, I would give them this oven and the book to go with it. My muffins just came out of the oven, and are nicely browned. Fantastic job! The only problem I had was in getting the muffin pan out, because with hot pads, you canonly pull it so far before then it slides back in! I would recommend using something to move the pan far enough out that you can remove it without burning yourself. I hooked it on one side with the rotisserie lift because it was handy. That worked fine, but I think next time I'll use a fork or a skewer. Alternately you could place the other pan on the little baking trays that come with the oven.

My aunt owns this. I got to use it, and it was all she had claimed! Wonderful item, and I'm looking forward to buying one for myself now.
Great Counter Top Oven June 13, 2008

I've had this product for just over two months prior to my review.
The Hamilton Beach 31199 Counter Top Oven has a lot of room inside to cook just about anything. The first thing I made was a 4 pound rotisserie Ribeye Roast. I was perfect!.
I've found that I use this oven more often than my microwave for heating things up. Previously fried foods cook better in the convection oven than in the microwave.
The oven seems built well. The bottom crumb tray is a great feature.
