User Feedback:
Anyway, here I put down couple of helpful comments from the user owner:
Pros: Baking performance, large interior size, rotisserie capability, price.
Cons: Inconsistent convection and rotisserie performance
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 adjustments.
On the other hand, its baking function has been just fine: accurate temps and fairly even cooking. I love the larger interior size (when compared to other toaster ovens), and rotisserie capability. It’s certainly more energy efficient than heating up a large oven for small roasts, casseroles, and small baking products, like muffins.

I just bought one of these for my son for Christmas. We broke it in Christmas day — my granddaughter made a beautiful and delicious baked hen. Setup was a breeze, just take it out of the box, wipe it down and plug it in. I didn’t notice a long warm up time as someone else stated, and it did take a little longer to cook the chicken than the recipe (using a standard oven) suggested. My son has used the rotisserie to cook game hens and he reports it works very well. As soon as I recover from Christmas spending, I’ll get one for myself!!!! Bought this one at WalMart for $82 and it was Site to Store, so no shipping charged.

Hamilton Beach 31197R Product Review Summary
Personally, I think this toaster oven cook very quickly and very large size! At nearly 19″ wide and 15″ tall, it’s bulky, but it’s also capable of cooking two 12″ pizzas at the same time – a rare feat for a toaster oven. I think this one is on sales now at Walmart, Target and etc with the price below $100. Currently, this toaster oven is not on sales at Amazon.com so you can get cheaper price at the place that I mention above. Anyway, here I provide the amazon product link just for reference.
