From The Manufacturer

You won’t find a design like the Hamilton Beach Easy Reach Toaster Oven with Roll-Top Door anywhere else. Its unique and large opening makes food easy to reach. And since the door opens above the oven, it frees up your countertop space in front. Best of all, it’s easy to keep clean because food can’t spill on the door. Contoured dials are easy to grip and turn, making it simple to switch between bake, broil and toast settings. The stay-on setting is safer thanks to a stop mechanism that prevents the knob from being turned to stay-on by accident.

The easiest access to your food!
- Delish
Overall, the Hamilton Beach Toaster Oven (31123D) would be a great addition to your kitchen if you need something affordable and toasts food quickly. It has a large capacity and won’t take lots of space on your counter.
this couple’s favorite part is still the door. “It swings up and it is great,” they write. “Cleaning is SO easy and love that it comes with a baking dish and a crumb catching tray.”
This is one of the most affordable toaster ovens on the market right now
A curved back creates ample room for toasting up to 6 slices of bread at a time.
With the door not under the food rack, crumbs and juices will not fall to the floor for cleaning up later. Both the roll-top door and crumb tray are easy to remove and clean being ever so convenient.
Easy access to food and countertop The roll top door moves up and out of the way so you can have safe, easy access to your food before, during and after cooking
It has adjustable racks with dual positions, and it comes with a baking pan to help you get started with the unit.
But the thing that stands out most for me is its efficiency. I’ve never seen a toaster oven that heats up so fast. If I put this in numbers, this toaster oven preheats 30% quicker than any other model.

What reviewers didn't like

The back part of the toaster cooks a bit faster than the front so you may have to keep checking your items
Exterior can overheat. Not big enough for large pizzas
The outside of the toaster oven can get a bit hot. So, be careful while using it and keep this out of reach of the young ones.
