Black & Decker quality has gone down--could have been a good toaster,

It's hard to really know what you're getting when you buy a toaster oven on-line, sight unseen. This is an appliance that gets used frequently, so it is a good idea to see it first-hand. I chose to buy this at a local appliance store that sells it cheaper than here. But unfortunately, I had to return it--TWICE.
I looked around at a number of convection toasters, and this one seemed to fit the bill--decent quality, attractive design, good crumb guards over the heating elements, nice size for cooking a variety of things, and the Black & Decker name. My previous Black & Decker toaster oven lasted me over 10 years, so I was partial to the brand. WAS.
My first test was to check out the convection feature. I clicked the convection switch--nothing happened. On-off-on-off-on... off. Nothing. I tried it again with the oven on/off and the toaster on/off. Still nothing. It was completely dead. I called up Black & Decker and told them about it, hoping there might...Read more

Works well, best value for money, looks good,

Being a big fan of toaster ovens and have used them since I was kid, this is a good one. I almost bought a Cuisinart toaster oven as they dominate the store shelves, but checking out all the toaster ovens on display, this was the best. The knobs did not feel cheap like the others did and had all the features I needed. Just the basics. I use mine mainly for re-heating or crisping pizzas, pastries and toasting bread. It has a great updated look, compared to my old beige Black and Decker. Altho the price is higher than the old one, it has many improved features, like the crumb tray that slides out completely for cleaning. My only (minor) issue with this oven is the handle. The black insulated handle is fine, but where it attaches to the glass door, it is metal and not insulated. So, if you grab the handle too fast and your fingers accidentally touch the metal when it is hot, you'll get burned.

the convection benefit in the small space of a toaster oven is a useless feature, i suspect, for any toaster. things cook unevenly -- the vent on this unit is on the right side -- consequently the right side of everything you cook is done much quicker (or burned) before the left. you can turn the convection fan off -- but of course you paid more to get that feature. next time i won't spend the extra $$ for a toaster oven with convection.
