I tend to like Black & Decker products so that is why I bought this toaster oven. It has an air fryer option but I have never used an air fryer before and did not buy it for that reason. I did try the air fryer option with french fries and it cooked them really well! The toaster works great. And using it as an oven is great too. It cooks everything well. I like the size as you can put more slices of bread at a time or have enough room for bagels and not crowd them. It came with the air fryer basket and another pan you can use. I found it to be a good value. Read more

Okay, I have downgraded this oven for one reason only. It still is a great reliable oven cooking evenly. However, it is not convection for baking like my previous oven. When set on air fry, you cannot adjust the temperature. Some things need a higher temp to get that air fried crispiness.If they would have kept the convection on while baking and allowed temperature adjustment for air frying, it would be hard to beat. It still is a good oven but I am disappointed that those features are missing I bought this oven for a couple of reasons. 1- I needed a replacement for my previous Black and Decker convection toaster oven. That one lasted for at least 14 years. My previous toaster oven of other brands lasted at most two years. So I am impressed with the quality especially at a reasonable cost. Now the previous model is still available but at twice the price I paid in 2010 or 11. Understandable. For a few dollars more I could choose this oven which is large enough to put my 9 by 12 Pyrex dish with handles. My previous B&D baked with a more consistent quality than my large oven without heating up the kitchen. This one does the same. 2. I needed something larger than before as my stove oven just is not reliable anymore. It never cooked evenly anyway. I wanted to be able to use that Pyrex dish for cooking cakes and casseroles. This model does it evenly. I have tested the air fryer and it works well and pretty quickly. Toast comes out very evenly toasted at whatever setting you choose... light, medium or dark. I am not sure if the fan comes on for baking or not. I don't hear it like I can when air frying but whether it does or not, everything comes out evenly cooked as though it was convection. (My hearing is somewhat limited) The only thing I don't like is the knobs which is less precise than digital but is also much more durable and economical. I can live with that. There is no interior light but where I have it sitting in the corner of my cabinet, the kitchen light shines in it anyway. That also is no big deal. I have given this model 5 stars because it deserves it. This is a good model. It is not as fancy as some digital models but will probably last a lot longer. The craftsmanship was built into the things that really count. It also looks nice sitting in the corner of my kitchen counter. It fits well there and my kitchen is not very large. Having this newer model means that I can cook a turkey in my stove oven and fix the dressing or other side dishes in this smaller but very much more convenient oven. Read more

This toaster oven/air fryer started out great. And by that, I mean it worked. Which is a pretty low bar for a brand new, never used, appliance. That bar, however quickly became pie in the sky unobtainable for this cheap, poorly designed, and terribly manufactured piece of garbage (literally, because the garbage is where it ended up just SIX MONTHS after purchasing!). As I said, it worked, right out of the box. It turned on, it got hot, it (usually) turned off when the timer was up. Sadly, ALL of these most basic of functions were well beyond the technical abilities of the pitiful excuse for an “Industrial Designer” and the slave labor employing, cost cutting ineptitude of the Third World “Manufacturer” that Black and Decker outsourced this loser to. Within a month, ALL of the controls became as sketchy and unreliable as your sister’s unemployed “drummer” boyfriend. The Temperature selector would occasionally hit our intended target, though not nearly often enough to be considered, by any definition of the word, “accurate”. And that knob eventually (6 months) gave up its valiant struggle with mediocrity, and just stopped trying. The “Timer” never really functioned in the realm of actual “time”. Its range of motion from new, only covered one direction, forward. If you missed your target time for cooking on the first spin, too bad, Einstein, because there’s no going backwards. Time only marches on for this machine. Your two choices are burnt food or skipped meals. I mean, seriously, what knobs only turn in one direction? That seems harder to engineer than just doing it right. The entire machine just stopped working before the six month anniversary of this bad decision, and this glorious testament to sub standard manufacturing became an oversized place holder on our kitchen counter, wasting more real estate than a Time Share in Syria, while we searched for what is apparently a Holy Grail appliance; a toaster oven that actually does even a small percentage of what the pretty, full color photos on cardboard box it comes in claims it’ll do. I know. Call me a dreamer. Added Note: For the adventurous among you that have already purchased this abomination and are currently experiencing its painful inadequacy, do a quick YouTube search for this Black and Decker model and add “troubleshooting” to your search. There are an enormous number of videos of intrepid tinkerers taking their lives in their hands by opening up the case and trying to “fix” the shoddy workmanship found inside. Wires that are only partially connected… or not connected at all, a lack of heat insulation or even basic safety components, wires that glow red hot when the appliance is plugged in, the list of problems seems as long as the component parts listed for this junk in the “manual”. Its an insurance nightmare waiting to happen. But be forewarned, you can’t “fix” stupid. Read more

I moved from a house I built myself with upscale appliances to a rental with bottom of the line appliances. My oven would not maintain a steady heat and ruined every meal I attempted. So frustrated I bought this oven because I liked the options and it held a 9x13 pan. It was the best kitchen appliances I’ve ever bought. I use it now for all my oven baking and have turned the big condo oven into storage. It heats up fast, cooks evenly, and clean up is simple. My only complaint is the unit gets really hot when in use and I have melted a few things that sat on top or too close while in use. My last big countertop oven did not heat up like this one and it’s something I’m having a hard time getting use to. That’s the only thing I would change about this countertop oven. I think it’s well built and the price was good. This oven makes meals as good as my professional bakers oven at my house. Very impressed!!! Read more
