1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Product in Our Wedding Registry, November 28, 2006

By

This review is from: Black & Decker TRO210 Toast-R-Oven, White (Kitchen)

My wife and I put a white Toast-R-Oven from Black & Decker on our wedding registry, thinking it'd make a solid addition to our kitchen. Within the 1-yr warranty, our toaster oven stopped working. The button for making toast had ceased to depress and hold, requiring us to manually push down the button if we wanted to make toast. B&D had us snip the electrical cord and mail it back to them (I suppose to make sure we weren't just asking for another unit while keeping our current one).

We received the replacement a few weeks later, but this one also broke. Unfortunately for us, the 1-yr warranty had just expired. This time, the problem was the heating element on the roof of the unit. One of the elements (a rod-like tube that goes lengthwise along the toaster) started giving off sparks and then collapsed. Instead of staying pressed against the top of the unit, one of the rods had partially fallen down, bending at an angle. You might think this was a case of user-error, perhaps by the owner accidentally ramming too big a chunk of food into the toaster and cracking the heating element... but I am positive that neither one of us touched the topside heating element. (We typically used it to toast Eggos and bread, and used the pan to warm up leftover pizza, taco shells, cookies.)

The oven no longer works since the topside no longer generates heat. The bottom still gets hot, but a funny smell permeates when the oven is activated, probably because of the broken heating element on top.

Overall, this device is of such poor quality that I would not pay a single cent for another. This is the WORST item on our registry -- a piece of junk that causes headaches and frustration. I will NEVER buy another toaster oven from Black & Decker, and I am afraid to try any of their other kitchenware. I just can't trust their workmanship or design.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of burnt toast and 1 fire, January 15, 2007

By 

Nutty Teacher (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black & Decker TRO210 Toast-R-Oven, White (Kitchen)

Very disappointed and finally too nervous to ever use it again.

Not long after our warranty period expired the toaster button was getting harder and harder to use. Even on the "light" setting for toast it would turn quite black before shutting off. Eventually, we couldn't trust it enough without standing right next to it -- It simply stopped turning off using the toasting function.

The final straw was when we got distracted just long enough for my "medium" piece of toast to turn into a flaming chunk of charcoal-bread.

IF you buy, we strongly suggest a "Purchase with Caution" and certainly be sure to watch it like hawk at ALL times!

1.0 out of 5 stars It failed, March 10, 2007

(REAL NAME)   

The toaster oven failed after a half year's use. The product was still under warrantee. The manufacturer, Applica/Black & Decker, offered to replace the unit, or let me choose another B&D product in place of the toaster oven. I am looking for something I want or need.

Even before the TRO210 stopped working, my wife and I were dissatisfied with it. The quartz heating elements are slow and take a long time to heat up the oven. When they are on at full power, the food is burned. My wife did not like the oven pan and replaced it with an old one she had saved from another unit.

Unfortunately, most other toaster ovens on the market today have the same heating systems. Check for quartz heating elements that are about 1/2" in diameter, and stay away.

After the TRO210 failed, my wife bought a slightly more expensive toaster oven that has the old, reliable calrod heating elements, and electromechanical controls. So far, after only a week's use, we are happy with the product. We're hoping for the best.
