I've yet to use the rotisserie function, but it's a great little oven for the price.

Cooks food perfectly. I love how big it is, I can do so much with it.

I returned this product because it was not large enough! I don't know how to rate it because I didn't use it!

better than expected - great price

It does not cook the way they say. It took a hour to bake pork chops and a hour to cook one pizza

So far, the only problem I have is that it gets VERY hot on the outside sides. Should never be placed in an area that a small child could touch the sides. A very nice looking appliance. NO other issues as of yet.

It's great I love it

This is a great product at an attractive price. We love it and use it all the time. It is the perfect size for just about anything you want to cook.

Very nice toaster oven, hopefully it continues to work accordingly. It's perfect if you need a large toaster oven. Go for it!

Does not keep temp. As much as 50 degrees hotter than dial

Very large, two racks, rotisserie, convection, heats great, whats not to like! I really like this oven and would buy again in a second. Hope it lasts as long as my old one.

Yes. My family loves it.. worth the buy!!!

I Am Using This For The First Time Today,Feb.1st,2021.This Is A Backup For Another Convection Oven I Bought In Sept.2006. (You Never Know When It Will Die). The Hamilton Beach Convection Oven Is Working Just Fine,Like I Expected. Very Satisfied!!!

excellent very useful. saves lot time havent used my oven since purchased

Love my new toaster oven. I bought this particular one primarily for the rotisserie but use it for everything instead of the large oven on the stove. Did a 5lb chicken on the rotisserie the first thing. It turned out great! Made cinnamon rolls in it today but got the timing wrong and scorched them a tiny bit. That was my error and not the ovens. The drip pan washes up very nicely after having chicken drippings falling on it for several hours. Comes with all the accessories you need to toast, bake, grill whatever you're using it for. I do wish it also came with a flat rotisserie basket that holds items like chicken pieces or ribs stationary. With the round baskets the food just flops around inside and doesn't cook evenly.

Excellent Price for an excellent product. Packaged for delivery exceptionally well

We bought one (older model but basically the same) around 15 years ago. It worked really well and has great capacity. We used it almost every other day and It eventually died after around at least 6 years of use. Then we tried another brand that was more expensive but with slightly smaller capacity, but we were very disappointed with its performance and it did not last even half of life of this one. So we switched back to this Hamilton Beach model again around 6 years ago. This second unit is still working fine but we think the fan may reach its life span any time soon. Therefore, I just ordered the third one as backup when I found it in stock at Home Depot again with an excellent price. I could not believe it has been over 15 years since we first found this model and there is still no other benchtop convection oven that has a similar capacity (with 7" of vertical baking space) and in the same price range. Now we have 3 sets of accessories for this oven.

Works great perfect size for everything I need it for..

The inside is quite large! Yet it doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. I love that it has the extra baking pan, I use it under a rotisserie basket for fries to catch crumbs. It’s very easy to clean.

The Hamilton Beach 1500w Toaster oven with rotisserie does exactly as advertised. Its adjustable racks and timer allow me to bake, broil and toast to perfection. Although iit is large enough to cook more than one item at a time, it is small enough to fit on my countertop like a glove. I definitely recommend this product.

Great to have it

I really love this oven. I had another brand, but it was too small. I like to bake muffins and I could only do 6 at a time in the old one, now with the Hamilton Beach oven, I can do 12 at one time. I also can do two 12 inch pizzas. I love convection cooking and this oven does almost everything that my $2,000 convection oven that I had in my last home did.

This is a nice-sized, nice looking large countertop oven. I've used a countertop oven for nearly 17 years for most of my meals. I only use the regular oven for larger dinners and baking that requires larger pans. Yes, the outside of the oven is hot to the touch, so be careful where you place it. I've always used the top as a plate warmer (place a cooling rack on top to prevent the plates from getting too hot to handle). This oven is a simple mechanical controls. It has no computer chips to burn out, or LED/LCD panels to go on the blink. However, the trade off may be foregoing any modern sensors designed to better control the temperature. See my notes below about running hot. One big plus is that it is larger than my previous model so I can use larger pans. I have not yet used the rotisserie in this one, but in my previous model I used the rotisserie for chicken and smaller pork tenderloins, and the results were great. The pans that come with it seem nice, however I don't use them as I prefer others that I've found. The larger of the pans fits into the rack slots in the side of the oven so it does not require a rack to sit on. One problem I had researching these ovens was to find precise dimensions. The manufacture and retail site specs are scant and misleading, and it gets worse when you read the reviews. So here are some measurements you can trust for this model: Outside dimensions: 20-5/8" width x 16-1/2" depth x 13-1/2" height (from the countertop) The depth includes the handles and two spacers in the back that prevent the oven from touching the back wall. Be sure to allow sufficient space on all sides because the outside does get hot! Inside dimensions (see 9x13 pan comment below for more on width): 13-3/4" useful width x 13-1/4" useful depth x 9-1/4" height - Height from bottom rack to top (burner element) is about 7-3/4" - Height from center rack to top (burner element) is about 6-3/8" 9x13 Pan? Yes, but not most of them: Hamilton Beach really is misleading us by flattely stating that this oven fits 9x13 pans. It does, but not just any 9x13 pan. The actual width of the inside is just barely over 13-3/4". I think a pan that is 13-3/4" wide will fit. At between 2-1/4' to 2-3/4" above the center rack, the oven is only 13-1/4" wide due to the rotisserie fittings. Pans are sized by the inside dimensions and thus most 9x13 pans are wider than 13-3/4" overall. So, pans with slanted sides, wide rolled edges, or handles usually will not fit in this oven. I returned two sets of rolled-edge pans that I though would work, but they just barely did not fit. Just today I finally found 9x13 pans branded by Food Network that are only 13-1/2" wide and they do fit. The pans are gold, nonstick, and have square "rolled" edges. They are very thick and seem to be nice pans. Same caution for round pans since the oven is not as deep as it is wide. You should be able to fit a 12" pizza pan inside as long as it does not have a wide rim. Mine runs hot... One star off because my oven seems to run very hot. When set at 400° F (and empty), the oven got well over 450° F, which is off the scale of my oven thermometer. I'm running it with the knob at about 300-350° F for most of my meals that I would cook at 400° F. One more con...the dials are difficult to read compared to the older model I had. The font is smaller, too small for these old eyes. This is my second Hamilton Beach countertop oven. The first one lasted well over 10 years, and I would have given it 5 stars even though it is slightly smaller than this one. I'm hoping to get that much more time out of this new one. Happy cooking... Ken

The best thing since “Sliced Bread” ! And yes I’ve made many loafs of bread in it and have all come out beautiful ! Also holds 2 9x13 casserole dishes. Can’t say a bad thing about this product . The main reason I purchased this was my oven went out 2 days into Shelter in place !
