Hamilton Beach 31156 2-in-1 Oven and Toaster

4.3

3 sourcesall derived$99.95as of Oct 15

The Hamilton Beach 31156 is the toaster-first pick: a clever 2-in-1 that sets a long-slot pop-up toaster on top of a small bake/broil oven. Consumer Reports called it the only model to earn top-notch scores in all its toast tests, and it toasts up to 40% faster than a typical toaster oven. The oven cavity is small, with no convection or air fry. For fast toast plus occasional light baking under $100, nothing matches its form factor.

Strengths

— Unique 2-in-1: a long-slot pop-up toaster on top plus a real bake/broil oven below
— Compact footprint with a slide-lever to switch between toaster and oven
— Low price for a toaster and oven in one

Watch-outs

— Oven cavity is small — fits only a 9-inch pizza
— No convection, air fry, or digital presets
— Bottom of oven-baked items can overcook before the top

Ninja Foodi SP101 Digital Air Fry Oven

4.5

1 source$233as of Oct 20

The Ninja Foodi SP101 saves the most counter space: an 8-in-1 digital air-fry oven that flips up vertically when you are done with it. Reviewed.com found it toasts very evenly and heats up fast, and it fits 9 slices of toast or a 13-inch pizza. Air-fry mode crisps unevenly next to a dedicated air fryer, and tall items will not fit. For small kitchens that want air fry plus toast, the flip-away design is uniquely practical.

Strengths

— Flip-away design folds vertically to free up counter space when not in use
— Toasts very evenly and heats up fast — Reviewed.com praised even toasting
— Fits 9 slices of toast or a 13-inch pizza despite the compact body

Watch-outs

— Air-fry results can come out uneven versus a dedicated air fryer
— No setting for extremely light toast
— Can't hold tall items like a whole chicken

How they stack up

Hamilton Beach 31156 2-in-1 Oven and Toaster

Its oven fits only a 9-inch pizza, against 12 inches for the Breville and 13 inches for the Ninja. It has no convection or air fry, where the Breville has super convection and the Ninja has an air-fry mode.

Ninja Foodi SP101 Digital Air Fry Oven

The Ninja Foodi SP101 Digital Air Fry Oven flips up vertically to free counter space and fits 9 slices of toast or a 13-inch pizza, against 4 slices and a 12-inch pizza for the Breville Smart Oven Compact BOV670, which costs more. It has an air-fry mode, which the Breville lacks. It cannot hold tall items such as a whole chicken, while the Toshiba AC25CEW-BS Convection Toaster Oven fits a 4-lb chicken.
