Hamilton Beach Countertop Air Fryer Toaster Oven with Quantum Air Fryer Technology, Stainless Steel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off this is a great toaster oven. With temperature control up to 450°F, a timer that goes up to 30 minutes, and the capacity to cook a 12 inch pizza it does everything you would expect from a toaster oven. When you add the convection baking and air fryer capabilities you end up with an awesome appliance! This multitasker is ideal for those who don't have a lot of kitchen counter space to dedicate to a large, stand alone airfryer. I often use an air fryer to heat up snacks and it is so quick and easy now that this toaster oven has earned a permanent spot in my kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first impression of the Hamilton Beach Air Fryer Toaster Oven is very positive. To be honest, I thought toaster ovens were overrated and kinda redundant but that tells you what I know. I started simple: a pound of frozen French fries to enjoy with some takeout we got while watching the football playoffs this past weekend. I know that fries aren't exactly a challenge but it was a way to get acquainted with the oven. Frankly, if it couldn't handle French fries it wasn't going to get much attention after that. So I dumped the fries into the basket, choose the setting (air fryer), set the temperature and timer. Done! The first thing that I noticed was the relative silence. So much so that I got down to eye level to double-check that I chose the correct settings. What a difference from the air fryer we've been using for the past couple of years! You can have a conversation or listen to music or the TV without having to raise your voice or the volume. As someone with moderate hearing loss this is worth mentioning. Also noticeable was the lack of a residual odor after the initial empty oven burn-off. To this day there is a very faint hint of that burning plastic smell when using our air fryer (thankfully it doesn't affect the taste of the cooked foods). After 15 minutes it was time to taste the results. Suffice to say, the Hamilton Beach Air Fryer Toaster Oven with Quantum Air Fry™ Technology performed very well at its task. The preparation (none!), execution, and result were beyond easy and delicious. Cleanup, after cooling, was much simpler than the air fryer we have been using for the last couple of years. The slide out crumb tray is thoughtful and practical. While I'm more function than form, I agree with my wife that the oven is kinda stylish. Unfortunately, kitchen counter space is at a premium in our apartment so some rearranging is necessary to keep it accessible.
