Black & Decker Toaster Oven Countertop Oven Broiler

We bought this toaster oven when my regular broke. It was fair at best while it worked. A week after the warranty ran out, the oven stopped working all together. I finally tossed it, and I have been looking for another oven that can fit a 9x13 pan. If you are looking for a large toaster oven, this is not the one, unless you only want it for a short while. I am so annoyed that I won't even look at Black & Decker.

I was sold on the large space inside the oven - space large enough for a small pizza or 2 dishes or pans. It also has a nice 60 minute timer with a loud bell and bright blue light that is highly visible. It has a nice front pullout tray that is easy to clean. The brushed stainless steel exterior gets very dusty quickly and smudges easily. It does not really "toast" things. The interior is too large, so toast gets dried out. The biggest problem with this oven is that the controls go on it in less than a year rendering it useless. Because of the size, I've so far returned 3 of them. Black and Decker (now Applica) would not do anything about this consistent problem, so I had to return the oven for exchange at the store.

This toaster oven is more of an oven than a toaster. My old B&D toaster oven was fantastic, but looked tacky next to my new stainless appliances. So, I upgraded to this one. The problem is, it takes 5 minutes to toast a piece of bread. My wall oven heats up faster than this thing.

Also, my lower element went out yesterday, which is just the excuse I needed to replace this oven with something smaller and faster.
