The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other toaster ovens, convection and pizza ovens, toasters, stand and hand mixers, bread machines and baking appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The 22633G is a two-toned black and brushed stainless unit that looks more expensive than its $29.95 price tag. At 2.8 pounds and 7.5 x 11.3 x 7.5 inches it is a standard compact toaster that fits comfortably under upper cabinets and alongside other small appliances.
Three functions at 750W is a stripped-down spec, but the 4.3-star rating from 13,000 reviewers tells you that simplicity is not hurting it with buyers. For the vast majority of people who want toast, bagel mode, and occasionally a reheat, three programs is all that is needed day to day.
Hamilton Beach has a strong reputation for building appliances that last at price points competitors rarely match. The 22633G follows that pattern: practical, unpretentious, and reliably rated by a large buyer pool.
Pros
- 4.3-star rating from 13,000 reviews at under $30 is outstanding value

Frequently asked questions
Is 750W enough power for everyday household toasting?
For standard sandwich bread slices, 750W is sufficient. You will notice longer cycle times than with 1200W or 1800W units. For thick artisan bread, frozen bread, or bagels, a higher-wattage toaster will give you faster and more even results. If your morning routine is unhurried, 750W works fine.
What are the 3 functions on the Hamilton Beach 22633G?
Hamilton Beach typically programs 3-function models with toast, bagel, and defrost modes. This covers the most common daily needs without adding buttons most buyers never use. If you want reheat, keep-warm, or multiple shade presets as separate one-touch programs, look at the 7-function models in this category.
How does the Hamilton Beach 22633G compare to the Elite Gourmet ECT-3100 at a similar price?
The ECT-3100 costs slightly more at $34.99 but delivers 1300W versus 750W and a similar 3-function setup. If toasting speed matters, the ECT-3100 has a clear advantage. If you prefer the Hamilton Beach brand and the lower price is important, the 22633G still earns a comparable 4.3-star rating from a very large buyer pool.
