The product is very small, smaller than I expected! However, it is only going to be used for small items. I would definitely recommend going ahead and getting the bigger toaster oven. I would love to get a bigger one and only rely on that other than my big stove oven. The oven is definitely a counter saver and it does heat the middle a little more; however, none of my food burns. For example, I have never used this toaster oven and burnt the outside of my food while having the middle frozen or vice versa. I love cooking small things such as those party pizzas or toasting a bagel. If I decide to make a big meal, I always use the standard oven. There isn't enough room for the type of cookware that I use. I do not like having to cook my big meals in the big oven; however, I do like being able to cook the small things without heating up the house. I think it also helps on the energy on the electric bill. The small convectional oven does not require a lot of energy. Another feature that I love about this toaster oven is that it has different settings such as bake, toast, warm, etc and it has different temperature settings. Some ovens do not have these features. Safety I do not see this product as a fire hazard at all. Ease of Cleaning It is small, so pretty easy to clean. Durability I would say, if you dropped this, it definitely would break the glass or even bend the outside metal; however, this is not necessarily a bad thing. This item can be gotten for cheap.

This toaster oven is easy to use, has a nice design, and cooks evenly. The only problem is that when it it set to "bake" it sounds like an aircraft jet engine and I half expect it to launch off the counter. Even Heating Great for cooking anything! Snacks, cookies, breads, etc! The only problem is the loud noise! Safety I have not found anything about this product that would cause it to be unsafe. There is a wall spacer on the front and safety handles on the door for opening. Ease of Cleaning Ample room and easy to clean. The color of the toaster oven hides stains well and there is ample space to reach into the back for additional cleaning. Plus, it is light weight and easily moved. Durability I do believe it is durable, though the noise may lead you to think otherwise but it has been running well since the last toaster oven quit. We use it daily to cook snacks for my three year old. Design Looks great and adds to any kitchen counter decor!

I have used the toaster oven to bake almost everything since I've gotten it. I've made cornbread, cookies, banana bread, pizza, reheated lunch, etc. It cooks a little faster than my regular oven, but I think when I get used to the settings it will be great! I haven't tried making toast in it yet as we don't eat that much toast, but I'm sure it will do great. The only things I would change about it are the door needs some kind of spring so it doesn't just drop on the counter when you open it. Also, it would be nice to have a little better idea of what temperature you're setting the oven on. Otherwise, I was very happy with it. I had read a few bad reviews and that hasn't been my experience with this toaster oven at all! Black & Decker is a good company to buy things from in my experience. Even Heating Heats up fast, I've been turning it 25 degrees cooler than the recipe calls for. Safety Common sense safety that you would use with any oven. Ease of Cleaning Removable tray is easy to clean. Durability Very solid design. I see no problems with the durability. Design The only thing I don't like about the design is the door doesn't have anything to stop it when you open it.
