Cosori Air Fryer Toaster Oven vs Hamilton Beach 31127D Countertop Side-by-Side Comparison

By , , , and ·Updated
Cosori Air Fryer Toaster Oven vs Hamilton Beach 31127D Countertop

Overall Verdict

The Cosori Air Fryer Toaster Oven (CO130-AO) completely mopped the floor with the Hamilton Beach 31127D Countertop Toaster Oven. Nonetheless, the Hamilton is still a solid choice if you want an inexpensive medium-sized unit that doesn’t have convection.

Design-wise, the Hamilton has a good overall build quality encompassing its roll-top door that moves out of the way while you bring food in and out of the oven. Its control dials are also very precise for being analog.

The Cosori, on the other hand, has an intricate control panel with an informative digital display, intuitive buttons, and toggle switches for convection settings, lighting, and temperature conversion. On top of a larger capacity, these features, of course, make the Cosori cost more than the Mueller.

Performance was what really separated the Cosori—our best-to-buy pick—from the Hamilton. Thanks to its convection system and higher power draw, the Cosori consistently produced top-tier results in toasting bread, baking pizza, roasting whole chicken, and air-frying fries. The Hamilton’s foods were above average and thus, couldn’t compare with the Cosori.
