Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had B&D toaster ovens in the past and they've always held up well, so when it came for a new one I mostly dismissed the negative comments by others and purchsed this model. Well - unfortunately the negatives reviews are correct. Toast made on the bottom shelf ends up burnt where directly above the heating element, and untoasted elsewhere. But far worse was the rude awakening I received on the 2 month anniversary of my purchase. My attempt to toast a bagel appeared more like a 4th of July celebration when the unit completely shorted, providing me with a nice light show. And not that I'd have any inclination to use it again but it's now dead.
I tried to contact the B&D service number provided with the manual and lo and behold the documented late and weekend hours are no longer valid, so I guess I'll now be spending my work day negotiating for a new unit as opposed to someone else's "repaired" unit. If they're this bad when new I can't imagine what a refurb would be like. And I can't imagine what I'll be paying in shipping charges. BE FOREWARNED!

Perfect as a second oven or as an energy-efficient alternative to turning on the full-size oven, this countertop appliance offers a large capacity with an extra-deep curved interior that can fit a 12-inch pizza or a casserole. Use the oven for convection baking (a fan circulates the heat), as well as broiling, toasting, and keeping foods warm until they're ready to be served. The unit features a quartz heating element and 1500 watts of power to ensure fast, professional results, plus it comes with a reversible chrome-plated broiling rack with upper and lower rack slots for added versatility. Three user-friendly control knobs make the oven simple to operate. The top knob adjusts the temperature up to 450 degrees F, the middle knob selects the function (convection bake, broil, toast, or keep warm), and the bottom knob allows for setting the timer up to 60 minutes or choosing continuous "on", as well as selecting the shade setting when toasting bread or bagels. Other highlights include a Perfect Broil system that maintains the set temperature, a see-through glass door, a convenient "ready" signal bell, a nonstick interior, and a slide-out crumb tray for quick cleanup. A baking pan comes included. The sleek-looking toaster oven measures approximately 20 by 16-2/7 by 12-3/5 inches.
