Hamilton Beach 31401 vs Panasonic FlashXpress Digital Toaster Oven Side-by-Side Comparison

Overall Verdict
The Hamilton Beach 31401 4-Slice Toaster Oven and Panasonic FlashXpress Digital Toaster Oven (NB-G110P) are both small units. The second one has slightly higher scores in every aspect and also a higher price.
Both products have two quartz heating elements, three control dials, and a removable crumb tray. The Hamilton has a basic design with three control dials. On the other hand, the Panasonic has a digital control panel, a unique auto-pull rack, and an interior light that’s rare in a small unit.
The main advantage of the Panasonic is its ability to reach and maintain a high temperature. Although both units have relatively low power draws, the Panasonic has shorter cooking times in all of our tests compared to the Hamilton.
