 A Very Nice Toaster Oven Feb 12, 2010
By H. Echegoyen
Even after reading some of the poor reviews I decided to try the toaster on my own. In general I agree with the fact that the glass that faces the back of the handle could've been much better insulated or protected, however, as long as we keep in mind that this is an oven and should be handled with care I don't believe this is too much of a problem. The oven itself is a great machine. It heats up items thoroughly, the knobs seem to be of a good quality, it looks great in our kitchen, the convection fan is not loud, it is very roomy, and the price is not very high. As far as price goes, I reviewed some models of other brands that were in the $125.00 range which were, in my opinion, very comparable to this one in features, looks etc. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone.

Great Toaster Oven Apr 28, 2010
By DR
I purchased this toaster oven about 2 months ago to replace one that caught on fire while the wife left her toast unattented (she used the tempature setting rather than the toast setting). I really like this toaster oven. The convection setting is great for frozen waffles, chicken nuggets, pizza, frozen bread, toast, etc. The waffles are cooked evenly and to perfection in 3 minutes without pre-heating the oven!! The oven looks great, however it is a bit larger than most others. The oven seems well built and so far no issues. Keep in mind it is an oven and will get hot!! Use the handle to open the door, that is the intended purpose, and you won't get burned. :>)

 Dangerous appliance Dec 29, 2009
By M. Mohrman
I purchased this toaster on sale at Target. It looks nice and seemed to be just what I wanted. But it has an important design flaw. There is a strip of metal along the top of the glass door. This strip gets VERY HOT in a short time. When you use the handle to open the door, it is very easy to burn your fingers. The first time I used the toaster I got significant burns on all four fingers. I returned it to the store immediately. When my hand heals, I will look for a toaster oven that does not have metal parts right by the door handle. What were they thinking?

 Oster Toaster Oven Does Its Job Aug 01, 2011
By Jerry in CDM
After a month of use, we are pleased with the Oster toaster oven. It works well for its intended use. Some minor issues: only one rack was provided instead of two as on our previous Oster. Also, the timer knob turns clockwise easily but is harder to turn counterclockwise to set the exact time (the instructions call for turning beyond 20 minutes and turning back, e.g.-for toasting).
The fan in convection mode is quiet and the door handle doesn't pose any heat issues (as noted in another review) if you take the proper precautions with an appliance that will get hot when used.
Unlike previous toaster ovens that we've owned, the Oster doesn't make a screeching noise when opening the door.
So far, we're very pleased with our purchase and hope it will last a long time. Based on our short experience, we would recommend it to others.

lousy appliance Nov 22, 2010
By D. Solinsky
I've happily used Black & Decker convection/toaster ovens for years. In our house we use the counter-top model far more than our full size oven. We use this every single day. In September of 2010 when we made a long distance move, we left our old toaster oven behind, so I needed to buy a new one. I guess B&D was gearing up to roll out new models, because none of our local stores had either older or new models. I settled on this Oster. It's pretty. That's about the nicest thing I can say about it.
Other reviewers have mentioned issues with the door. I haven't had problems with that, however the handle can get a bit hot so caution is needed when opening the door when baking. I have had no problems with toasting, although I do like bagels and toast browned, which is what I get on the light toast setting. If you like your toast very light, you will be hard pressed to get that with this unit, unless you hover over it and pull your toast out at the right moment.
For baking and roasting, this thing is horrible. It gets way too hot. A frozen pizza that bakes at 425 for 12-15 minutes in my regular oven and in my old B&D model, burns on 350 after 9 minutes in this thing. So you end up with a pizza that is undercooked in the middle, but black on top. This unit does not brown anything. It goes from uncooked, to charred. There is no in between. We've tried different settings to no avail.
After 2 months with this piece of junk, we give up. We accept the $70 spent on this as a loss and today, now that our local stores have stocked new B&D models, I'm buying a new convection/toaster oven. This unit is headed to Goodwill.
