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 make 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. With a 6 slice toast capacity and four cooking settings, you can enjoy everything from crispy toast, broiled fish and mouthwatering roasted vegetables. Easy dials make it simple to choose bake, broil and toast settings. This oven also has convection technology using a top and bottom heating element and a built-in fan to distribute heat evenly for a uniform temperature. It also features a 30 minute timer with auto shutoff, so you know when your food is ready. Or you can choose an optional stay-on setting for food requiring more time. The Easy Reach Toaster Oven comes with a bake pan, bake rack and removable crumb tray.

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Large enough to accommodate a 12-inch pizza. Toast, bake and broil settings - convection circulates air for even cooking.
The cord is an impressive 35.5 inches long, which gives you more room than most to situate your toaster oven where you want.
And oh my gosh. English muffin pizzas. Bacon. Crispy cheese thingies. Warmed-up muffins. Quick roasted vegetables. Warm pie. “Toasted cheese under the broiler.” A single slice of last night’s pizza.
As soon as we took the Easy Reach Oven out of the box, it felt more impressive than other budget options. It was by far the largest of the group we tested, with an internal capacity usually reserved for models twice its price.

What reviewers didn't like

Puts off a lot of heat when cooking; not all parts are stainless.
When we measured the interior temperature, we did find that this toaster oven ran about 17 degrees hotter than the temperature we had set, which isn't the hottest but also isn't the best accuracy we've seen. This heat difference leads to drying out and overcooking food.
It’s also not well-suited for dishes with long cooking times. The timer only goes up to 30 minutes, a good measure of what you should expect out of a toaster oven for this price.
