Date: 2009-12-29 | Rating: 5 I love it! My work place has the same model so this is what I wanted for Christmas. Needlesstosay, Santa came thru. I only had it for a couple of days, but the one at work has been almost a year with lots of users so I hope to have mine for a while. Easy to clean. Can't wait to use the convection feature. Good - But not quite all I thought.... Date: 2010-02-08 | Rating: 4 I wanted digital because I imagined the ease of using a microwave in a toaster oven. I really like the oven but the digital controls are a little compiicated so I get lots of "time-outs" before I get it programmed. The digital display is unlit LCD and the numbers are "faint" so I had to put the oven in a different place than I wanted it just so I could see the timer. The bottom line: If you don't have slow reactions and failing eyesight, this is a great product! Black & Decker Junk! Date: 2009-11-06 | Rating: 1 I purchased a Black & Decker toaster oven Model CT06305, top-of-their line with electronic controls, thinking I would have a well-made oven that would work well and last for years without mechanical control failure setting the house on fire. Well, it did work well, when it worked. And it does not seem that it would set the house on fire. In fact, now it is stone-cold dead. If I unplug it overnight, it may come to life, but not long enough to fully toast bread before going comatose again. It was 5-stars rating in my book, until it just failed. Junk like this is not worth even one star! No more B & D products of any kind for me anymore! Awful Controls Date: 2009-12-19 | Rating: 1 The digital controls fail miserably. Normally you'd expect that when an oven has a timer on it, the oven should shut off after the specified time has elapsed, yes? Not with this piece of crap toaster oven from Black & Decker. The problem is the timer doesn't start counting down until the oven is fully preheated. So if you put your pizza in for 10 minutes at 425 degrees it may actually be in there for 15 minutes -- 5 minutes while the oven warms up and 10 more minutes at full temperature. It gets burned. Have no doubt about it, your food is being partially cooked during that warming up period, but the timer doesn't account for this. Now, a stickler may say that's not following the instructions. The instructions clearly say to wait for the oven to preheat before putting in the food. Well, I don't want to wait. That would defeat the purpose of having digital controls. I want to put my food in, press a button, then go watch TV. Plus, any time you stop and restart the oven, whether accidentally or as part of multi-step cooking instructions, this preheating issue *will* mess you up. With other ovens you can compensate for starting cold by simply adding a couple minutes to the bake time. With this oven you'd have to subtract time. This is counter-intuitive. If you forget, your food is burned as opposed to undercooked so you can't fix it later. Plus for reasons difficult to explain, the amount of time you'd have to subtract to compensate for the extra cooking done during the preheat cycle is much more unpredictable than the amount of time you'd have to add for a regular oven to make up for no preheating. The controls are hard to operate from an ergonomic standpoint as well. The rest of the oven functionality is okay, but why pay extra for an oven with digital controls if those controls work poorly? I can't speak to the reliability; I've only had it a few months.
