Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker TRO480BS Toast-R-Oven 4-Slice Toaster Oven
Customer Review: For the price, it's an AMAZING toaster!
Summary: 5 Stars
This toaster is a spectacular value. It looks extremely stylish and well-crafted, like a $100 toaster. When you feel it you can tell it's not $100, as it has very thin paneling, but it's still fully sturdy with no warnings of premature failure. It's even more of a value because it comes with a nice rack that automatically pulls out about 2 inches when you open the door, and a nice little bake pan, about 7x10x0.75" if I had to guess. Inside, the oven also has multiple internal rack mount guides (3 in fact) to go from normal baking to extremely-crispy broiling with no added tools.
Another big plus is that it has two heating elements like anything calling itself a toaster oven should (but not all do, especially in this price range). And it gets VERY hot, VERY quick, which is excellent. I was shocked how much faster this oven got internally hot, compared to my old toaster oven from the late 80s. No need or desire to preheat it. It does get externally hot too, but obviously not even close to the internal temperature. As long as you don't put anything plastic on or next to it and keep your hands to yourself, I would never worry about it.
The glass door and knobs are nicely made for the price. They work sturdily with no fear of breaking. The glass door is bowed to *maybe* let something like a tiny pizza inside, but I'm not sure. It's still better than a flat door. There's an included drip tray for crumbs and some fat, but it's basically a flat sheet and not a pan of any kind, so it will need very frequent changing (sometimes multiple times per use depending on the contents of the meal you're cooking). The five different modes for heating are also great.
One big flaw is that the power cord is only about 30 inches long (again, guessing). This is really awful if you don't have counterspace RIGHT next to an outlet. Luckily I was able to make room -- kind of -- but this could easily be a deal breaker for some people. Such high-wattage appliances shouldn't be used with long extension cords. With modern house wiring I doubt it would ever be a problem, but from an electrical point of view it shouldn't be done.
Other than the power cord, I can't fault a single thing for the ~$27 price I paid with free 2-day shipping. It's a far better value than anything I could find in any brick and mortar store even for $30-40. If you have no need for a convection oven (which is an expensive feature), don't fear buying this oven over a more expensive one. It also has a 2-year warranty, though buying a new one if anything ever happens might be even cheaper than return shipping!
I just made a low-carb quiche pepperoni cheese pizza in the little bake pan last night and it came out PERFECTLY cooked and in the time expected by the recipe, with no burning or other problems. It was DELICIOUS! BUY NOW!
