Just bought this yesterday from Bed and Bath. Today I tried the toast feature. Used the light brown setting on some bagels, came out light brown. Next the dark brown setting; came out dark brown and not burnt. It works. As for the rack not being attached to the door(this appears to be an issue for some); this oven has two levels for the rack, this means you can't have that feature. The crumb tray removal is fine, you just need to wait until the oven cools off before removing it. It's also good as baking rack if you wanted to use it as one. Another problem with these units is a convection fan that's really loud. Not this one. Very quiet. Can't even tell it's on. The only thing I found so far that could be a problem are the metal strips on the door. One is right behind the handle and is rather easy to touch if your not careful.

For some reason, the nameplate HAMILTON BEACH never clicked with me as an appliance super star, or even star. I stand corrected. I took a flier and bought this thinking it would probably go back. I'd done the same with other more expensive and disappointing toaster ovens so hope was not high. This oven has been a happy surprise. My acid test is this; one toasted piece of bread. How even is the brown. If it goes well here, all else will follow. I'm very happily surprised by the result and hope for a long life from this little box. The overall build quality is good. My only reservation would be - how long will the twisting timer last. It could become an issue, but I think that would happen far down the road. A toast to H.B.

Rarely do people write reviews after using something for over a year.
I Have been using the Hamilton Beach 31506 for over a year and it has performed well. I have no oven so I use it all the time. It is a bit slow to heat up and I feel as it get older it is getting slower. I was going to buy a new one with more power and more covienient features but as I research Toaster ovens they all seem to have same issues. I may just get the next model up in hopes it heats up faster. To this day it still toasts bread perfectly and fairly fast. The broiler is slow. People say the out side heats up to much and I'm like OK fine so I put my plates on top and use it for a plate warmer.
