5.0 out of 5 stars Nice toaster - great value, January 11, 2009

This review is from: Black & Decker TRO420 Toast-R-Oven 4-Slice Countertop Oven/Broiler (Kitchen)

I read lots and lots of reviews of toaster ovens before I bought. But it seems that very few people out there like the toaster oven they have. The ones with the highest ratings were only available online - and in some cases the shipping was almost as much as the toaster!

I got this one at a local store - on sale. It is a nice compact size for the counter, yet seems to have plenty of space inside. Toasts very even (several settings - chose medium the first time and worked perfect). It has a timer so there is a bell when the toast is finished.

I also like the fact that when you use the oven, you also can set a timer. My previous one did not have this and many times I would forget to shut it off and it would run for hours (very dangerous).

I am very pleased with this toaster oven overall -- it does the job it is supposed to and is a great value for the money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst toaster oven I have ever had!, January 16, 2010

By

This review is from: Black & Decker TRO420 Toast-R-Oven 4-Slice Countertop Oven/Broiler (Kitchen)

Like others who have reviewed this product, I have had Black & Decker Toaster Ovens for 20 years...two others in fact, this is the third. After having two reliable toasters that I liked, I didn't hesitate to buy this one. Wish I had read the reviews BEFORE purchasing!

It is impossible to make toast! Either it doesn't cook at all, or it is burned to a crisp. No matter how hard you try, you can not set that little dial well enough to be able to leave the kitchen! EVERYTHING burns! Also, in my last toaster ovens the oven turned off when you opened the door. Not so with this one...I don't like that either.

I also hate the little tray, when you open the door, if you open too far or too fast, the tray has to be re-aligned for it to slide back the oven, not so with my last ones.

There is a definite design flaw with the crumb tray. It can be put back in such a matter that it hits the bottom heating element. This was what happened to us. It could have started a fire, or destroyed the crumb tray at the very least.

Needless to say, I hate this product. I am afraid to buy a new Black & Decker Toaster Oven now, as the changes that they have made have NOT made the product better...just cheaper.

4.0 out of 5 stars SO FAR SO GOOD, July 29, 2008

I've been using this model for a year now and am quite satisfied. I love the convex glass making it much more functional. I've had many toaster ovens over the past 40 years and have come to expect a certain lifespan. I do see that with this oven the upper heating element has been redesigned and your less likely to hit it and cause it to be useless. SO FAR SO GOOD. The integrity of the unit is good. Still looks bright and fresh. I do notice when I'm toasting 4 slices of bread steam/smoke leaks from the lower right corner of the door. Doesn't seem to be a dangerous condition. Toasts pretty well takes a tad longer than regular toaster. I'm satisfied. Bought it at Kohl's on sale at very good price and am watching for the next sale to buy a spare. But that's just me. I recomment this toaster oven.
