Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker TRO390W Toast-R-Oven Classic Countertop Oven/Broiler
Customer Review: So far, so good
Summary: 3 Stars
I received this unit as a replacement for a defective Toastmaster unit under warranty and based solely on price, it is an upgrade. This far, the unit is working appropriately but I will keep an eye on a potential malfunctioning timer.
The lack of a UL listing on this unit as well as my Toastmaster is definitely a concern. I agree with previous comments about declining quality of Black and Decker items as I had a similar experience with a poorly designed and manufactured B&D coffee maker. It's almost as if B&D has given up trying to create a reliable or desirable product.
Customer Review: a little too hot
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this as a gift two Christmases ago. I picked it because it was smaller and more attractive than other similar products. From the beginning it toasted unevenly. Burning in the middle and undertoasting on the outside. There is no way to toast 4 slices of bread evenly. You have to be really careful that you don't overtoast. If you have used the toaster setting once and then go for a second round you have to turn the time down significantly. Works OK as an oven. Also, the handle slips off easily and can be difficult to slip back on when the glass front is hot. With some time you can learn to use this toaster oven...if you learn how it will behave. Not nearly as nice as the previous toaster I owned from the same company...it was no worries. I wish I had gotten over the old look of it and kept it.Customer Review: Very disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this unit just over a year ago. I noticed a couple of months ago that the coils weren't toasting evenly, so I carefully arranged bread to get them evenly toasted. I love the look of the item and it was the only toaster oven I found small enough for my kitchen.
Last night I set the timer and left the room. Then it actually started smelling as though a fire had taken place. The top of the unit is now singed. Then I stubbornly used it again tonight keeping an eye on it and keeping the heat down. I could see flames emitting from that coil.
So I came here and found all these other horror stories. I feel so bad because this is my 3rd Black and Decker Toaster Oven in over 30 years. The others lasted 15 years, this barely 1.
Very sad indeed.
Customer Review: Black & Decker Toaster Oven
Summary: 2 Stars
This toaster has one main and annoying problem that could have been so easily corrected at the factory. It toasts unevenly (referring to top and bottom sides of the bread). This would have been so easy to correct, simply by slightly changing the location of the groove that the tray rests in. I would have thought they would have tested this before producing millions of them. Another problem is there is a brushed aluminum trim panel on the top of the toaster that got scratched simply by placing a pan on it.Customer Review: Average quality
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this model 5 months ago and it's toast function has stopped working
Pros: Has enough room to fit in 4 pieces of bread, looks small and nice.
Cons: Does not toast evenly, broke too soon.
Even to get a replacement under warranty, I need to spend the shipping cost.
Wondering if it is worth my effort to get a replacement (someone please suggest a better Black and Decker model that I can upgrade to !!! )
