Review on 🍞 Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel 2-in-1 Countertop Oven and Long Slot Toaster with 60 Minute Timer and Automatic Shut Off (Model 31156) by Andrew Schobinger

This is my second. I was unhappy with the redesign as it is significantly larger than the previous model. Life without a 2-in-1 toaster doesn't seem like a dream to me though, and having not been able to find a previous model, I guiltily ordered it from Revain Smiles. I'm a free shipping idiot, I don't have high morals to stand here. no What I have is a toaster, although it's bigger than I wanted, it now has a very significant improvement - a tray for collecting grates, as well as a pull-out crumb tray that covers the entire bottom. Folks, this is a game changer. For those of you who also live with the hellspawn, who love to grill sausages and NEVER clean the damn oven, this is a nice and awesome upgrade. The little hook that pulled the wreck out when you opened the door is gone, and I miss that little doo hickey. I miss it very much, along with the many inches of free space that I will never get back. But overall, the crumb tray catcher and drip tray upgrade keep my score high. They've also done great things with the top slider and all the top loading mechanics have been greatly improved as well as the dials. Somehow it's wrong not to at least mention them. It is clear that a lot of work has gone into this work. But I'm still mad about what's gone and a counter space I'll never get back. Even salty, this is the ONLY toaster I think is worth owning.
