Hamilton Beach 31197

Pros: Better than a microwave, easier to clean than regular oven, built in timer.

Cons: Bigger than most microwaves and needs more venting space around it.

The Bottom Line: I really like this product. It is easier to use than my regular range style oven and easier to clean, safer cooking than a microwave.

Review: I bought this oven last fall and I love it. The oven on my stove is hard to clean and kills my back. After reading of the dangers of microwave cooking and how microwaves destroy food, I decided to move the microwave to the garage and get a convection ...

Pros: OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE

Cons: SIZE(But how else would you be able to do rotisserie cooking?)

Review: I give this oven 5 stars! (Can't believe the previous post of 1 star) As I'm writing this I have a chicken on the rotisserie getting perfectly crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. YUM!! I've had this oven for almost a year and have had NO ...

Pros: Cooks perfectly. 2 racks a HUGE plus!

Cons: None

Review: I read the reviews about low temps and decided to try this unit anyway. I couldn't be happier. Don't be deterred about the negative reviews. I did use an oven thermometer to check the temps and did find that it showed low. However, since it was the ...

Pros: Quiet convection fan. Nice looking unit.

Cons: Temp is not what dial says. Door can not be removed for cleaning.

Review: For those of you who have one of these ovens, I will just let you know that I used a digital thermometer designed to measure the temp of a RC gas engine. The oven maintains a decent average of 350 degrees when the dial is set just before 400. When set ...

Pros: Large 2 shelve cooking capacity

Cons: Convection fan stopped working on 2 ovens only after a month.

Review: This is my second oven. The first one the fan stopped working on the convection. Now on this new one its doing the same thing. The fan (convection) only works every now and then but is a great oven other than that. Calling Hamilton Beach in the ...

Pros: Looks good and is easy to clean. Safer on food than a microwave.

Cons: Not as fast as the microwave.

Review: This unit works great, as a matter of fact the cashier said she had the same unit and loved it. Sometimes other things are the problem and not the unit itself. For example many kitchen outlets are worn out; this would cause a heating problem. ...

Pros: Convenient, good looks, large size, many accessories, bakes well

Cons: Door very hard to clean (can't be removed), timer failed within six months

Review: I bought this oven after reading all the reviews here. I am very satisfied with the baking operation - I have not yet tried the rotisserie. The door does not disconnect for cleaning, and there are cavities at the bottom of the door that collect food ...

Pros: Baking performance, large interior size, rotisserie capability, price.

Cons: Inconsistent convection and rotisserie performance

Review: I looked at lots of countertop ovens, and despite some of the negative statements in other reviews, bought it. I've found that its convection and rotisserie functions are less than wonderful, as temps vary widely and require continual manual thermostat ...

Pros: Large capacity

Cons: No use to me since it will not heat up my pizza and wings

Review: Hello, Purchased and returned 2 of these. The maximum it would heat up to was 350 degrees (used a seperate oven thermometer). A number of the frozen items from the store require 450 degrees, so this one does not measure ...

Pros: NICE LOOKING AND LARGE CAPACITY

Cons: ITEM DOESN'T WORK. TEMPERATURE WAY OFF, NEVER HEATS TO DESIRED TEMP.

Review: WE RETURNED THREE OF THESE OVENS TO THE LOCAL MACY'S AND WAS WILLING TO TRY EVEN ANOTHER ONE AS WE LIKED THE LOOKS AND CAPACITY OF THE OVEN. NONE HEATED TO THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE. WE WERE TOLD BY THE MACY'S DEPARTMENT MANAGER THAT ANOTHER CUSTOMER HAD ...
