Experts and users alike say that you get a lot for your money with the Hamilton Beach 31197R Countertop Oven. In addition to baking, broiling and convection features, the rotisserie works well and it is one of the few toaster ovens to come with a rotisserie attachment. Users praise the automatic shutoff and say this countertop oven is very durable. However, some users say this large-capacity oven doesn't toast well, is slow to heat up and takes up a lot of space. If you don't need the rotisserie and want a countertop convection oven that also toasts bread well, professional reviews recommend the Hamilton Beach Set & Forget 31230 (*Est. $95) .

We didn't find any professional coverage of the Hamilton Beach 31197R in either ConsumerReports.org or Cook's Illustrated magazine. Hundreds of user reviews at Walmart.com, Viewpoints.com and Amazon.com offer insight into durability and real-world usage.
