Black+Decker TO1313SBD Toaster Oven

My oven worked fine for a couple of weeks. I found that the height is a little less though, like croissants touching the led on top. Because of that, the led stopped working and I am now struggling to get it fixed. The local representative has kept the product for a month and says he can't do anything. I have to get help from Delhi or Bangalore. NOT WORTH the headache, frankly.

Let me get something out of the way first-THIS IS SMALL. 4 slices of bread *may* fit, but the bread slices will be touching each other and for some brands of bread-4 slices won't fit. 2 chicken breasts will be a tight fit. If you take out the bread tray, you can fit a small bowl in to heat, max 8 inches wide, 7 inches wide and 5 inches tall. Very easy to use-3 dials- one for heat level, one for time and the 3rd is well, not needed (middle one). A stop watch chime sound comes when it works and a small red light glows when it is ON. Heat builds up fast, 2 slices of bread toasts to a crisp in under 2 minutes flat. Body of the toaster gets warmish hot after 5+ minutes of usage. During initial use, a burning smell comes, this is normal apparently. Doesn't feel cheaply built, but built to a cost it is. If you need a small toaster oven that is simple to use, average built, cheap to buy, and easy on electricity consumption, would recommend this one.

Works great as toaster or oven for small amounts of food. It cooks a small pizza and even a one layer cake. It is a small size that easily fits on a smaller counter space, and it is easy to clean with a removable crumb tray. The timer bell is a great accessory to know when your food is ready. The only addition I made was a sturdier cooking tray which I have used for making cookies. I use this unit daily and it is a great energy saver since I rarely need to use my stove any more. I highly recommend this simple, easy use appliance.

El precio fue excelente. El horno es pequeño pero yo no necesito más. Llego en perfecto estado y hasta el momento ha funcionando muy bien. Estéticamente es muy lindo

El tamaño fue el correcto. El diseño tambien, sobre todo la combinacion de acero inoxidable. En algun momento las instrucciones pueden ser un poco confusas, pero es cuestion encontrar el modo

I've had this toaster oven for about a month now and, after doing some scavenger hunting on the internet for instructions and a little trial and error, I think it's going to pretty much replace my regular gas oven. Let me save you a little frustration as to the lack of instructions, especially pertaining to the convection feature. If you select the "Bake" setting, the convection feature is activated. There is no way to turn it off, which is actually fine. What I have discovered is, if I'm baking baked goods (cookies, muffins, etc) you need to decrease the baking temperature by 25 degrees or reduce the baking time by about 25 %, or both. If you reduce the temp, start checking for doneness about 3/4 of the way through the baking process. If I'm baking a casserole, which contains more liquids or the like('cream of' soups, eggs, cheese, etc) I use the recommended temperature in the recipe and let it cook the full amount of time. I made a tuna noodle casserole last week and it was perfect using the recipe exactly as written. I haven't used the broil feature for meat yet, so I don't have a point of reference for that feature and, as I'm single and just make toast in a regular 2 slice toaster, I also don't have a review for the toast feature (I don't need 8 slices of toast at once.) What I LOVE about this oven is being able to use my regular pans! I had a smaller toaster oven before and got frustrated by having to buy special pans for it. I ended up buying a lot of disposable aluminum pans. With this oven, I can use all of my regular pans (I have several Pampered Chef ones that I wasn't able to use in the old toaster oven) except for a couple of my larger baking stones. So far, everything has baked so much more evenly than in my full sized gas oven that I'm absolutely thrilled. So, as far as the way the oven functions and the results I've had when cooking with it, I am very satisfied with this oven. The only negative comment that I have about it is that the instructions are almost non-existent. An individual shouldn't have to do 2 hours of research online and watch youtube videos to learn how to properly use this product. They really need to include an actual instruction manual, with a few recipes included for each feature of the oven, instead of a big sheet of pitiful basic instructions that are written in about a dozen different languages. I think that most of the negative reviews that I've seen could have been avoided if this were the case. Does the outside of the oven get hot? Yes, it's a toaster oven, not an insulated range, so move it away from the wall. The crumb tray slides into the slots underneath the OUTSIDE of the oven, it doesn't go inside and I believe this is the reason that so many people are saying it never gets hot enough. The convection feature comes on and stays on when baking, there's no way to shut it off. All of this could should be explained in an actual instruction manual. My last comment pertains to the price. At $67 in November, this oven was a great value. Less than a month later, it's $96!!!! Had it been this price originally, I'm not sure I would have purchased it. So, my review is A for the the oven itself, D for the lack of instructions and the $30 price hike just before Christmas.
