Our Verdict

Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp 31196FG

Ninja French Door Premier FO101

The Ninja French Door Premier FO101 offers better performance than the Hamilton Beach Sure-Crisp 31196FG, but it's also more expensive, so you may want either depending on what you're looking for. Choose the Hamilton Beach if you want a relatively simple, inexpensive toaster oven for baking or reheating leftovers, since it preheats quickly and maintains a very stable temperature. It also toasts very evenly, but more slowly than the Ninja. Go for the Ninja if you're looking for a toaster oven that offers good multi-purpose performance, including air frying. It performs well for baking, toasting, and reheating leftovers, and its fan is much stronger than that of the Hamilton Beach, which likely contributes to faster, more even air frying.
