a little too hot March 16, 2008

I received this as a gift two Christmases ago. I picked it because it was smaller and more attractive than other similar products. From the beginning it toasted unevenly. Burning in the middle and undertoasting on the outside. There is no way to toast 4 slices of bread evenly. You have to be really careful that you don't overtoast. If you have used the toaster setting once and then go for a second round you have to turn the time down significantly. Works OK as an oven. Also, the handle slips off easily and can be difficult to slip back on when the glass front is hot. With some time you can learn to use this toaster oven...if you learn how it will behave. Not nearly as nice as the previous toaster I owned from the same company...it was no worries. I wish I had gotten over the old look of it and kept it.
 So far, so good February 22, 2008

I received this unit as a replacement for a defective Toastmaster unit under warranty and based solely on price, it is an upgrade. This far, the unit is working appropriately but I will keep an eye on a potential malfunctioning timer.
The lack of a UL listing on this unit as well as my Toastmaster is definitely a concern. I agree with previous comments about declining quality of Black and Decker items as I had a similar experience with a poorly designed and manufactured B&D coffee maker. It's almost as if B&D has given up trying to create a reliable or desirable product.
 Not potential but actual fire hazard January 22, 2008
Sad but true

This toaster oven, which is made in China and "commercialized"/warranted by a Mexican company named Applica de Mexico and sold under the B&D name, is a fire hazard. The toaster feature has a timer incorporated in the knob which is supposed to shut the toaster off after it reaches the desired doneness. Unfortunately, the timer shuts off before the knob is able to arrive to the off position, and thus the toaster never gets to shut off, burning anything you have in the toaster and your kitchen along with it. I returned one malfunctioning unit to the store and within 30 days the second unit malfunctioned. These toaster ovens should be taken off the market and B&D should be ashamed for putting their brand on this defective and shabby product. I will never buy another B&D product after this and I hope the company CEO, wherever he is sunning and tanning with our hard earned dollars in his pocket, gets what he deserves for this consumer rip off and hazardous product. The company has simply abandoned any idea of quality control and safety testing. By the way, this product is not UL listed. A third world product for a third world economy and a third world government which permits imports of these hazardous products which harm people. Shame on B&D.

If I had not been in a hurry to order a new toaster oven I would have NEVER purchased this brand. It toast unevenly, you cannot touch it while it is on, and the timer makes a loud ticking noice that gets on my nerves. I am in the process of looking for a new toaster or toaster/convection oven. Black and Decker products have really gone down hill on quality.
Well - It works - at least October 27, 2007

The product came in a timely fashion. No problems there. It works. Seems to run very......very hot in terms of the outside case heating up. I am a little concerned this thing is a fire hazard if placed close to anything else. Seems to be a little slower in doing some of the basics than my old one (toast for instance). The most annoying feature are the knobs which are these spring-loaded wind-up timers that count down the cooking sequence and then turn the the unit off. They don't manually "unwind" that easily, so if you decide to abort your setting (let's say you put it on medium toast and 1/2 way through the wind down you decide to stop) you basically need to open the door (which turns off the unit) and then just leave it open until the clock stops (otherwise the unit is still on when you close the door). Other than those quirks....it's a basic toaster. It works. What do you expect for under 30 bucks? I wouldn't leave the room while it's running. Like I said, it really-really gets hot on the outside and I could just see a bag or towel you left setting on the counter catching fire from this thing. I suppose that's the good part about the wind-down timers. Hopefully they reach bottom before the fire starts. Leave it out in the middle of the counter - only do basic short heating - toasting - functions and it should be just fine.
