The fight between the Hamilton Beach Easy Reach 4 Slices Toaster Oven (31344DA) and the Cosori Air Fryer Toaster Oven (CO130-AO) is one-sided in every aspect. The larger Cosori not only has a much higher score but also excellent value for money, which is why it became our best-to-buy pick.

The Hamilton is simply a standard, small, analog toaster oven with average ratings. Meanwhile, the Cosori is an impeccable digital unit with more functionality, namely a well-designed automatic preheat phase, cooking presets, and extra toggle switches.

The Cosori also has more features including an interior light, a convection system, and four heating elements to accommodate its large cooking chamber.
