Differences between 31197R and 31199R? Does anyone know what the differences are between the Hamilton Beach 31197R toaster oven and the 31199R?

I called the company. The 31199XR is made with different components than the 31199R but they could not tell me what that difference is. She said the difference between the 31197R and 31199R is cosmetic. I am having trouble finding what accessories come with the 31199R, the Amazon details say there are 2 baking pans for the 31199R. The 31197R says one pan but the product manual (link in Amazon description) shows a bake pan and a pizza pan. So I am not sure about accessories, the wording implies that the 31199R has an extra bake pan. I called HB again and she said that the accessories depend on the seller, at this point I think the 2 models have the same accessories with the 31199R having an extra bake pan. Based on the photos, the 31199R has a curved door and chrome front. The finish on the top and sides of the 31199R is more shiny, I assume they are both metal and it is just different paint.

I no longer have the microwave oven (Kenmore 79159) or the Owner's Manual so I can't give the dimensions in the manual. The microwave quit working but still under warranty so I took it back to Sears and they replaced it with similar sized one (Kenmore 73169). The oven I think has the same dimensions because it fit nicely in the tight-fitting place where the old one was. The outside dimensions of the 79169 are: 21.73" x 17.83" x 12.83" according to the Owner's Manual. I believe the dimensions in the Owner's Manual are accurate.

That's exactly why I bought them. Works perfectly but they are smaller than the one that came with the toaster oven. They are fine for me, however.

Definitely the size is different. The 80102's cooking surface is 12" x 10"; the 80103 is 11" x 7". I also think the hinge is different on each of them. The 80102 has a floating hinge that adjusts to the height of the sandwich. It looks like the 80103 has four specific height settings. I don't know how much that matters, though. For us, the biggest deciding factor was having more surface area to do more (or bigger) sandwiches. Hope that helps!

The oven is 12 3/4" I do not recommend it though. My friend has one also, and we both hate it. I bought an inexpensive toaster because it take4s so long for bread to toast in the DeLonghi You can cook and eat your whole breakfast before it is ready. . Honest! I recommend you do some shopping around.

There are 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom but honestly I wouldn't buy this model. If you really want Hamilton Beach, go on their website and look for a more updated model. I had problems with this model ie., the dial for the toasting timer gets stuck and the door hinge broke on me after just a year and a half.

My model does not have the toaster. (I returned that one). My model is black with a brushed stainless steel front. FYI - It works extremely well, and I'm very happy with it. Diane

I purchased the Waring Pro TCO600 1500-Watt 6-Slice Convection Toaster OvenSells for $79.99 on Amazon - I bought it at Best Buy since I wanted to see it up close. Love it. It meets all my "health" requirements, and it's not that expensive.

We bought ours to replace the toaster oven. From what I can remember, this is the best toaster I've ever bought! Fast and efficient. Looks great on the counter.

I don't know the answer - I bought this toaster for my son and shipped it right to him, so I haven't seen it or used it. SORRY.

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.

Meg, I can't answer your question. I bout the toaster /oven for my daughter and it was sent directly to her. She has a very small kitchen in a studio apartment in Manhattan. It's not to big and she loves it. It's probably the smallest toaster/oven around. I had one for 10 years and bought a bigger one last year. I miss this one because it's much smaller. I remember that the dimensions were given on amazon.... If I can help in any other way let me know.

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.

My recollection is the rear corner, however I tossed mine out 2 weeks after buying. Really bad toaster. I have a hamilton beach now & love it.

I got mine 2011 still working, mind I don't make toast every day. Just a little slow compared to old toaster that is probably because they made the slots wider so the coils are further away from the toast.

I gave this as a gift, so I don't know first hand, but found this product description on another site:The extra-wide 1 1/2" slots can handle bread, bagels, and Texas toast with ease, while the digital display and countdown timer alert you to toasting progress. Plus, the display can also remember the last used shading and function selections so each piece comes out just the way you want it! Its all-metal construction is designed for durability, and a removable bottom crumb tray and cord wrap are included for convenience. the KitchenAid KMT423OB requires a 120V electrical connection for operation. Please consult the Specification Sheet for additional details.

I believe they are the same, just different wording. My box the oven came in has both wording on it!
