Black and Decker 4 Slice vs Hamilton Beach 31127D Toaster Oven Side-by-Side Comparison

Overall Verdict
The match between the Black and Decker 4 Slice Toaster Oven (TO1760SS) and the Hamilton Beach 31127D 6 Slice Toaster Oven all comes down to size. The latter is just a little bit better in every aspect, including design, usability, and performance.
Both units have a pretty high build quality as evident in their sturdy build and firm control dials. The two have similarly simple interiors with no interior light. Exterior-wise, the Hamilton wins due to its thicker casing for better heat insulation and a neat roll-top door for saving some counter space.
The Hamilton’s larger footprint allow it to have more cooking space than the Black+Decker. This made it easier for us to put food in and out of the oven durings our tests and also to clean up afterward.
Both toaster ovens didn’t have a convection system, so the Hamilton’s higher power output gave it the necessary edge in every dish including toasting bread, baking pizza, roasting whole chicken, and baking fries.
