The Black+Decker CTO6335S combines a powerful 1500 W convection fan with eight one-touch presets and an extra-deep interior that accommodates 12-inch pizzas, delivering even cooking for families.

The Hamilton Beach 2-in-1 Countertop Toaster Oven offers a compact footprint and versatile cooking modes with even heating up to 450°F.

“40% faster toasting”
Professional reviewers commend the Hamilton Beach 31156 for its compact footprint, versatile 2-in-1 functionality, and fast 40% quicker toasting. They appreciate the even heating up to 450°F and the ability to handle a 9-inch pizza or a batch of fries, but note the limited rack positions and absence of a convection fan.
Everyday users praise the convenience of a single appliance that can toast long artisan slices, bake small pizzas and clean up easily thanks to a slide-out crumb tray, while recurring complaints revolve around the slot's height limitation and the lack of long-term durability information.
