Black and Decker Toaster Oven - Classic Toast-R-Oven Reviews

I  agree with the reviewer who said the door is a "pain in the rump". The door brings out the sliding toast rack and it ALWAYS gets caught making it difficult to shut the door again.

The timer for the toast has never worked. It is VERY, VERY imprecise. Sometimes there is a "bing" noise and sometimes there isn't when the toaster is turned off after using. The toast must be watched CONSTANTLY because it will burn if you are not constantly vigilant.

This is a cheap, cheap imitation of the toaster ovens Black and Decker used to make which were actually quite good. This was a replacement for a Kitchenaid...

 I bought this toaster to replace an older model of B&D toaster oven.  The toaster switch is a dial that you set for a certain number of minutes for light, medium or dark toast.  It seems to take forever to make light toast, but the real danger is the timer often sticks just before shutting off and the toast burns.  I got sidetracked making breakfast and when I turned to get the toast my whole toaster was in flames.  I immediately pulled the plug and tried to open the door to remove the burning bread but the flames went POOF and ignited even more.  I had to use a fire extinguisher to...

I would definitely not have even bought this oven if I had not gotten it so cheap because the box was gone and I had discount coupons on top of that.

 When you pull open the door of this oven it pulls out the wire rack and when you close it  the rack is pushed back in. Here lies the problem. Because it does not go in and out smoothly, it takes two hands. It has enough resistance that it feel as if it's rusted. You have to put one hand on top of the sometimes "hot" open to pull the door open and then to close it. You absolutely cannot close it with one hand without feeling like you are...

I use the Black & Decker Classic Toast-R-Oven for all my small baking and toasting needs.  It is great to heat up a quick snack or make a lunch for one (pot pies, small pizza) and still get the big oven taste and texture not found in microwaving these products.   It heats up quickly and stays at the desired temperature during baking.  It is great for toasting bread, bagels and english muffins for breakfast. 

 It is probably the single small kitchen appliance that I couldn't live without!!!!

     I have been married 37 years and have never owned a toast-R-Oven until last year. I truly love it. My children are grown, so it is only my husband and I and I have discovered many ways to use the toaster oven, from making a grilled cheese sandwich to grilling a steak, to warming pizza. It is wonderfully convient. I would recommend it to everyone.
