BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Toaster Oven, Even Toast, 4 Cooking Functions Bake, Broil, Toast and Keep Warm, Removable Crumb Tray, Timer

This toaster oven is a modest size...not too big. It has a dial that allows you to turn it off by adjusting the timer to zero. When it reaches the off position, it issues a nice loud "ding" sound. It also has a dial that allows you to select a temperature. And there are various modes, such as bake and toast. All of these adjustments are by well marked manual dials. So the device seems relatively safe and easy to use.

Purchased this for some polymer clay crafts and that this was a good one to buy. I can attest that the oven heats fairly quickly and evenly which is perfect for baking my pieces. I think the dials are super easy to use and the assembly is super straight forward. It is also super quiet and the design is really sleek. The oven is warm to touch on the outside when it is hot but I think that's with all toaster ovens. I definitely recommend getting this one if you are looking to get into polymer clay crafting.

Just received this and compare to the older model I had for many years. The front door flops down. It does not retract unless you physically push it back up. The older model pulled the toasting grill out partially as you opened the door, making it easier. This one does not. There is no ON/OFF button. It is activated by turning the appropriate knobs and is not turned off unless you turn the same knob off. Will take some getting used to. As for performance, we'll see...... NEWLY ADDED: It is not very good as a toaster as my older model was. It takes a long time as it heats up and toggles down to heat up again .... not very toaster-like. A bit annoying, actually, as this is what I have used it for mostly.

Very pleased with this oven. After several months of use. I’m still learning the myriad of uses this small form fitting counter friendly kitchen utility can offer. Yes, it has its own warm up function using true slow temperature gains rising to the appropriate temperature setting. This giving you time to complete your prep prior to placing into this lovely machine. Enjoy your own tutorials. Cheers.

Love the updated silhouette of this toaster oven. Replaced an oldie-but-goodie that died; love the fact that the new one cooks evenly, and that it has a removable crumb tray so I don't have to drag it over to the sink to empty out crumbs. Not sure why it is called a convection oven since it doesn't have a fan moving the air around inside, but it is still adequate for my needs.

I love it. Cooks evenly. great perfect for little things like a one or two person entree. Acts just like a regular oven except smaller. Can't beat it for the price.

I was temporarily living in two places and I wanted a toaster oven at the new location as I had at my original location. I thought this seems like a good price and had all the features that I wanted. However, it is not as good as my other one (an Oster Toaster Oven | Digital Convection Oven, Large 6-Slice Capacity, Black/Polished Stainless).1.) The top of it gets extremely hot when in use so nothing can go on top of it. With my Oster, I often set my peanut butter or hazelnut spread on top to warm it up as I am toasting bread or something and it would be nice and melted. I cannot do that with this one as it would melt the containers. Warning: be careful not to touch it when cooking or after, you could get a severe burn. The Oster just gets warm to the touch (not burning hot).2.) Also the settings controls are simple but not as convenient as the oster It doesn't allow you to increase or decrease time or temperature once you started cooking which the oster allowed me to do if I noticed it was cooking faster or slower than I intended.3.) The initial programming of the cooking settings is kind of frustrating. It times out on you fairly quickly if you are reading the directions, so I have to start over whenever I do not know the settings right away. This happens more often than I thought it would4.) This last "feature" could be good or bad depending on your viewpoint. I like to just set the temperature and a time and then let it go, I have a feel for how much longer I need to cook it to account for the warm up phase, but this device doesn't start the clock until the temperature is at the set temperature, so I have to adjust for that or wait until it heats up to put the food in and make sure my timing is accurate so it doesn't start counting down the time before I get the food in. I dislike this aspect, but I am sure many others would prefer it this way. For me part of using one of these is the convenience and time, and just putting food in, setting the time, and letting it go is easier for me than having to put it in after it has heated up.Now that I am back to living in one place this one has gone down in the basement kitchen where it gets used sparingly. My daughter who lives in my basement often still comes upstairs to use the Oster despite this one being right where all her food and kitchen supplies are.That said, this one was a good price and it works, but I just was spoiled by the quality of my oster, and this one doesn't quite match it.

Excellent. Heats leftovers to freshness, and cooks things like frozen pizza or wings perfectly.Have only had it a few weeks, and it replaced a similar 10 yo B&D small oven.Great performance for a small price.
