Black & Decker TRO700B Toast-R-Oven, Black

 (10 customer reviews)

The toaster oven looks great, and works great as an oven. The toaster control is very OLD School - a basic twist timer. You must turn the timer to your desired setting every time you use it, and if you toast back to back, the second item will be much more brown than the first (assuming you use the same setting). Not happy with the toaster function at all...

I heard B&D has sold their kitchen appliance unit and since then the quality has taken a nose dive. I bought this a little over a year ago and right after the warranty expired, the timer dial stopped working. We usually set the dial to "Always On" but one day it wouldn't turn on when we turned the temp dial, we had to use the timer instead. Then 2 days later the timer died as well. In the meantime, we use the toast dial to turn it on for the limited amount of toast time and has no temp control. We don't have kids in the house and nobody played with those dials other than setting them as needed. I opened up the control panel as much as I could and I found the spindle connecting the dial and the timer has somehow snapped and I can't fix it. Don't buy B&D.

We bought this toaster oven and in less than a year it began smoking..i mean really smoking! We contacted the manufacturer and they sent us the same oven, let's hope this one doesn't do the same thing. They said if it did, they would send us a different model, not a refund! I would rather a refund because it's not the best toaster oven overall. It burns rather than toast and even warming up pizza is a challenge, you have to stand there and watch it before it burns your food. Don't buy this toaster oven, it doesn't even deserve ONE star!
