Breville BOV450XL vs Hamilton Beach Easy Reach 4 Slices Toaster Oven Side-by-Side Comparison

Overall Verdict
The battle between Breville BOV450XL Mini Smart Toaster Oven and the Hamilton Beach Easy Reach 4 Slices Toaster Oven (31344DA) shows why the former is our best small pick.
Besides a neat roll-top door that can save some counter space, the Hamilton only has the standard features for a small unit, including two heating elements and analog control dials. In comparison, the Breville has a slide-out crumb tray, a non-stick interior for easy cleaning, a digital display as well as precise timer and temperature control buttons.
The overall cooking performance of the Hamilton is above average but not as good as the Breville. Having a high power output allowed the Breville to toast bread very well and bake fries to a decent outcome—a common weakness of small toaster ovens. However, it still lacks a convection system that larger models has to help with baking pizza and roasting chicken.
