4 out of 5 stars Great toaster over   June 24, 2008

I really like my new toaster oven. The only thing I don't like is that the "tick mark" that points to the temperature is not very well marked.

First, allow me to say that the TRO700S is a great-looking unit. Stylish knobs and design, rimless glass front, etc. Another person had mentioned the nice crumb guards, and I agree.

That said, these units are inconsistent to say the least. I offer my experiences:

* Timer can stick on lesser settings. When toasting, if you want the product to only warm to "less than light", the timer knob can stick and continually heat up until its burned to a crisp.
* Heating is uneven on every setting.
* "Convection" is worthless in a small unit with a side vent. Again, this contributes to the uneven heating.
* Temperature gauge is WAAAAY off. I see another contributor claims theirs was 100 degrees low. Well, mine appears to be at least 100 degrees higher. The story:

We were baking two medium sized potatoes in aluminum foil at 350 degrees. After about fifteen minutes the entire inside of the oven was glowing hot and the aluminum foil began to blacken. My wife opened the door and took the potatoes out and the oven still continued to heat up. I reached over to turn the knob off, but it just spun around in my hand. The oven had COMPLETELY MELTED THE INSIDE OF ALL THREE KNOBS! It kept getting hotter, so we had to pull the plug out of the wall in order to turn it off.

Now the TRO700S is completely unusable, and I don't believe we would use it if we could. I have read multiple negative reviews of Black & Decker products in this price range and rest assured we will never purchase another Black & Decker product again.

This TRO700S was purchased from Bed, Bath and Beyond for $59 + tax. They refused to take it back, so we are stuck dealing with Black & Decker's reportedly poor customer service. This one is going in the trash (after disabling it), and our lesson learned.



5 out of 5 stars GREAT toaster oven for the price!   March 24, 2008

I'm totally happy with my purchase. The toaster oven replaced and old black and decker that still worked, just looked old - this unit looks great, cooks everything super fast with the fan on, and also has a time - which my old unit didn't. For under $50 i think it's a great deal and i would definitely recommend.

Straight out of the box the temperature is off by 100 degrees. Set it for 400 and you get 300. 350 is actually 250. Great. Now I have to waste my time putting it back in the box and returning it. Black & Decker, you suck.
