Disappointing toaster oven
1/13/2013
Pros
Crumb Tray
Stylish
Cons
Controls hard to read
Door Top Gets Very Hot
Not Good At Toasting
Best Uses
Warm Up Pizza
Comment:
Takes forever to make toast unless you warm it up first. It's very easy to burn yourself on the top portion of the door. It's fairly good at warming up pizza slices. Heat is uneven.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great counter top oven, terrible toaster
10/29/2012
Pros
Convection
High capacity
Cons
Terrible Toaster
Best Uses
Comment:
It's probably fine if what you want is a counter top oven, but unless you want to wait 15 minutes for toast, get something else. It's incredibly slow.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Burns One Side Of Toast
Door Shattered
Very Hot Outter Shell
Best Uses
Comment:
I received this as a gift and used is occasionally. However the other night I started to cook my dinner and within 5 mins the door shattered sending glass all over my kitchen. I have read reviews on B&D ovens and now know this is a common occurance and will not buy their products again.
How long have you owned it:

A piece of scrap

Strength
Zero...none
Weakness
Like most things made in the Peoples Republic of China, it quit working after a short time (6 months in this case). Top burner quit.
Dont buy this piece of junk.
