Worst toaster oven - very disappointing - DB March, Sep 10, 2009

I wish I had checked out the reviews before I even bought this. It does get hotter on the outside than any other oven I have owned and would definitely consider it a hazard. The provided accessories (broiling tray, pizza pan, etc.) were very thin, warped right from the box and I can't even imagine trying to clean them. Overall feel (controls, etc.) is very cheap and flimsy - no substance. Found the controls confusing (yes, I did read the manual) and there are rather illogical 'sequences' that must be entered to use certain features. I have had B&D products for years and have always been thrilled with them. I bought this for the capacity, but will now have to think twice before trusting the brand.

I'm lovin' this oven - Crochet Lover, Aug 12, 2009

Great features, wonderful size. I've baked brownies in a 9x13-inch pan (without handles); results were excellent. One reviewer wrote that there's no count-down feature for time left to cook -- really, there is. During baking time, the display alternately shows the oven temperature and the time left to cook, in minutes. The display switches info every second or two, and that's not bad. I've had my oven just a few weeks and am thrilled with it. We save energy by using a countertop oven, as opposed to a regular big oven, and the room stays cool. It preheats very quickly, which surprised me. I'm actually cooking more now, since it's so easy (and much faster) to make and serve a casserole, or bake a dessert or muffins. The roomy interior was a huge selling point for me. The removable oven rack can go into four different positions - the rack is inverted for two of those positions, so food can be placed closer to the heating elements or farther away. The "ready" signal is loud enough to be heard in the next room, which is a big plus feature. It beeps when it has preheated to the proper temperature, and it beeps when the cooking is done. Bottom line: I'm lovin' this oven!

Awesome - Thomas M. Fina, Aug 03, 2009

This toaster is awesome. It toasts everything I want it to. I don't use any of the other features really though. I have an oven, but for little things this toaster is awesome. Easy to clean tray and a very solid unit. I would be careful with putting stuff on top because it gets HOT, but as long as you are aware of that fact you will be fine. Live in a house with 6 people, so need a BIG toaster and this fits the bill. I also know other people that own it and they are very satisfied.

Great oven at a great price - Johnny C. Niezgoski, Jul 27, 2009

Like the first reviewer, we also had a bad experience with a lesser model from Black & Decker and were afraid to try another one. Finding her review permitted us to take a chance and boy are we glad we did. This oven has completely lived up to all of its specs: fits a 12" pizza without issue, is great for chicken breasts and breakfast meats, actually toasts toast, and doesnt heat up the whole house like the full size oven. We are particularly happy with how well it does frozen items like tots so quickly with the convection oven. It is very easy to use, but like the original reviewer said it is very loud. It would be great to be able to disable or turn down the audible alarms, but this small thing is well worth dealing with compared to how well it works. We highly recommend this to any family. It is being used nearly every day and we have had it for 3 months now.

It should be noted that the outside does get quite hot, so care has to be taken when this is in reach of a young one. However, from the research we have done, it seems that most of these small tosters do get hot. To avoid this, it seems one has to spend considerably more money.

This oven gets too HOT stay away! no joke! - Spectro, Jul 03, 2009

We have had B&D ovens for years and bought this one to replace the B&D Dine-in Model that we loved. This oven gets so hot on the handle and on the outside I can't believe it is on the market. Today I burnt my finger on the handle. DO NOT BUY THIS OVEN. Aside from that it is difficult to use as you have to set the temp,then time, then hit start all before the oven thinks you have changed your mind and shuts down. I regret buying this oven.
