After 5 years of constant use, our little 4 slice toaster oven died, and missing the convenience of the small oven, I set on a quest to find a new one. I've read many reviews of both the ovens and the companies. We finally settled on the HB 31506. It seemed to have everything we needed. What a mistake! Where do I begin? The dials are almost impossible to read; it took 15 minutes to toast english muffins, then they fell on the floor; and the crumb tray is only accessible by manuevering around the heating elements. Why? Poor design. Here's the saga of the poor floor-bound engish muffins. I followed the directions to the letter (literally-I read the handy instruction booklet). What the book or anything else doesn't mention is that the rack does not advance when you open the door. So, I found some tongs and a pot holder to try to remove the rack. In doing so and too late, I realized that there is nothing to pevent the rack from tipping forward. The rack tipped, the muffins slid, and I gave up and had a bowl of cerial. Needless to say, the oven is back in the box and going back to the store.
Basically, what was HB thinking?

For some reason, the nameplate HAMILTON BEACH never clicked with me as an appliance super star, or even star. I stand corrected. I took a flier and bought this thinking it would probably go back. I'd done the same with other more expensive and disappointing toaster ovens so hope was not high.
This oven has been a happy surprise. My acid test is this; one toasted piece of bread. How even is the brown. If it goes well here, all else will follow. I'm very happily surprised by the result and hope for a long life from this little box. The overall build quality is good. My only reservation would be - how long will the twisting timer last. It could become an issue, but I think that would happen far down the road. A toast to H.B.
