Customer Reviews my opinion Date: 2009-07-20 | Rating: 4 I found this to be "hands down" , the best toaster oven in this price range, and I've owned a few over the years. Expected better from B & D Date: 2009-02-26 | Rating: 3 We purchased this toaster for the name of Black and Decker,and its solid reputation! This toaster oven was purchased almost 2 years ago. The knob fell off, and the rubber feet on the underside also fell out. We simply replaced it for the same model. No problems whatsoever with the new one, except the rubber feet kept falling off. About 6 months ago, the top heating element stopped working. We have been using it as is, but once again we are in the market for a new toaster oven. I would like to mention we have been using B & D toaster ovens for over 20 years; the very first one lasted over 11 years.I expect Black and Decker products to be faultless,and to last a lifetime. Over time, I have seen B & D using cheaper parts ie, the knobs will be poorly made, handle not as sturdy, something else falling off, poor construction. could be a heater Date: 2009-08-09 | Rating: 3 Just bought one. Nice size, nice looks, has what I am looking for. Crumb tray pulls out from the bottom. Tray hooks worked fine to pull out tray a bit... other reviewer must have gotten a defective one. Toasting seemed to take a while, warm-up of leftovers was fine. Seems to have plenty of heat for baking. Small outward curve in the back seems to be designed to accomodate small pizza or round pan. Clever! However, I will probably be returning the unit because the amount of heat pouring from the oven was more than a space-heater... it could heat my apartment... or at least the kitchen. Maybe this is normal, my other toaster oven was a 2 slicer small one. But I don't want to heat my kitchen and I worry about it getting too hot, plus increase in electricty costs. I will probably pass on this one. Or buy some hot pads... too bad because it looks like a good unit and it seems to be working fine. Got it for good price at target. If you don't mind a hot unit, it looks good. So far so good Date: 2009-06-06 | Rating: 3 Nice, good looking toaster. Does all of your basic functions but it doesn't brown my toast as even as I would like. As far as some of the other concerns of things breaking or falling off the unit, well I guess I'll have to wait and see if that happens to me Product description wrong Date: 2009-03-11 | Rating: 3 My main comment is that the product description (here on Amazon) is wrong. It actually lists two different dimensions, and both are wrong. The toaster oven is smaller than this says. [Not only that, it says the unit weighs 11 lbs, but the shipping weighs only 10 lbs, so you know something is off] The small size is not a problem for me, but if I had read this description first, I would not have purchased the oven because I would have thought it was too big for my space. So just a heads up!
