Black+Decker Convection (CTO6335S) vs Hamilton Beach Easy Reach 4 Slices Toaster Oven Side-by-Side Comparison

Overall Verdict
The comparison between the Black+Decker Convection Toaster Oven (CTO6335S) and the Hamilton Beach Easy Reach 4 Slices Toaster Oven (31344DA) showcases what a large model can offer and the common limitations of a small one. Not only does the Black+Decker have higher scores in every aspect, it also costs only twice as much as the Hamilton when the typical large toaster oven costs about four times higher.
The Black+Decker is easier to control thanks to its LCD and 13 control buttons for more precise adjustments of timer and temperature. Meanwhile, the Hamilton is simply an analog toaster oven with two control knobs.
The Black+Decker has more heating elements, a higher power output, and a convection system. As a result, it scored higher than the Hamilton in all the performance tests, including toasting bread, baking pizza, roasting whole chicken, and baking fries.
