The differences between the 31197R and the 31199R are only cosmetic. The 31197R is black with a door that is vertically curved in the middle and has a curved plastic handle that is easy to grasp when the door is open all the way. This door seems to be at a slight upward angle when fully open. I was able to look at the display model at Kmart. Since I could find no one who had a display model of the 31199R, I called Hamilton Beach for more info. It has a stainless front with a door that slightly curves horizontally in the middle and a longer handle that is mostly metal.

Thank you for contacting us!Unfortunately, we do not have a side by side picture. The model 31197R and 31199R have the same functions only look a little bit different. The model 31199R has stainless steel around the knobs where as model 31197R is mostly black. Both of these models come with a revolving rotisserie. The model 31199XR does not come with a revolving rotisserie. Thank you for contacting Hamilton Beach Brands!Sincerely,MichelleConsumer Affairs

Their site is the same. Info there but there's no diff. I bought the least expensive and for my purpose, I'm pleased.

I too am investigating and just about made up my mind to go with the Hamilton Beach. From one of the sites (sorry can't remember which one) it appeared that the XR does not have the Rotisserie.

I am in the exact same boat...looking at them but not sure why one is different from the other.

I love this toaster oven and the top doesn't get nearly as hot as our old model. If you see what looks like smoke coming out the front, it isn't! It's steam. Enjoy!

I don't think there is a difference. The oven cooks using convection and infrared technology. I don't know why they list them different. I bought this black one with the extender ring. I love it. It comes with a pan, 2 metal racks, the extender ring and a DVD to show you how to use it. They also give you a plastic coated 8x11 card that is a quick guide to how long to cook meats and a little cook book. Here's my advice to you. They give you this lid holder. Don't use it. I think that is one of the reasons people's domes are cracking. The plastic gets really hot and the heating unit on top is heavy. When I want to check or turn the food, I pause it and completely take the dome off and place it upright on a wooden cutting board. Further more. When your food is done cooking, take the heating unit off the dome and let them cool separately. After the dome is cool, as in after your meal, hand wash it. People seem to have a problem with the dome cracking. I don't. I never put it in the dishwasher and I never leave it on it's side. Other than that, it's a great oven and I highly recommend it.

You can go to their website and request a part there. The model # of the oven is 31510 and it lists several parts you can order. I'm not sure if Amazon will link me, but I'll try: http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/parts.htmlHope this helps you.

I just received a Cuisinart TOB-130 and the instruction booklet, under Features and "Benefits" (my quotes) reads "19. Easy Clean Interior (not shown) The sides of the oven have a nonstick coating for an easy-to-clean surface." Darn. Back it goes. It looked so nice, too. Lesson here, go to manufacturers website PRIOR to ordering and read online instruction manual.

Yes I agree with you, they are all different but my experience is the difference is in how long they last. If you have an oven with an exposed heating element, as I do, all liners develop a weak spot where the small "feet" holding the heating element touch the liner. Chef's Planet seems to last longer. If you have the newer von with the bottom heating element hidden my opinion is one liner is about the same as the other.

I don't know - read the description. But I do suggest you not purchase it. It is the worst toaster oven I have ever owned. Doesn't toast anything evenly, constantly "ticks" while heating and is just awful. I try to use it as little as possible.

There's also the "Waring Pro WTO150 4-Slice Toaster Oven with Built-In 2-Slice Toaster." I'm thinking of buying this one.

My unit is an Italian brand.... DeLongi..... I know nothing about Krups products in toaster/convection ovens... Ours is the second we've had... The first one "went bad" after a period of long use.... We are quite happy with our unit.

I found a few entries in the "question and answer" section of the product page, that said it was not non-stick but I think those answers were informal answers from users and not a formal answer from the company. I had spent weeks trying to find information on toaster ovens without non-stick coatings and the only one that gave a definitive, company "there is no non-stick coating" comment, was the Waring Pro. I finally just gave up and went with this because it seemed ok and our experience has been good. We don't have birds but I'm pretty chemically sensitive and haven't had any problems with this unit. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

Good question, but I can't answer it I ordered the TEM4500 but they sent me toaster by the same model number but by another manufacturer. I tried it but was of poor quality that I sent it back and baught a Quisinart four slice toaster and I am happy with it. It consistently provides evenly toasted bread. Slice after slice.

Nancy, I did not get your question, but I have had this oven for over 3 years. I love it! It is the best oven I have ever had. The only thing I have found is when I clean it, the highest cleaning level is too much. I have to use the medium level of cleaning. Other than that this is the perfect oven. When I get a new stove, I will buy electrolux. I hope this helped you. Any other questions, please ask.

The 49967 is r22/404a/410a while the 49987 is r22/134a/404a. That is the only difference.

I contacted the seller for specs, before I bought this toaster oven and they answered all of my questions. They might be able to tell you where to get service.

The toaster never did work all that well. It didn't toast evenly. We have since replaced it with a Kitchenaid toaster and have been much happier. I don't think anything is perfect but the Kitchenaid does a much better job on toast. It does't have an oven though and I miss that.

I didn't notice differences when comparing the description of the two. I use this pizza oven 2-3 times a week. It is great for making pizza, frozen snack items, and reheating crispy foods and pizza to be as tasty as when they were originally made. This is perfect to make food for one or several people without heating up your oven and house. I have put chicken nuggets, frozen shrimp, fries, cheese sticks, and marinara sauce on at the same time and an entire meal for three people was made in 15 minutes, saved energy, and minimum clean up.
