TO3250XSBD 8-Slice Extra Wide Convection Countertop Toaster Oven, Includes Bake Pan, Broil Rack & Toasting Rack, Stainless Steel/Black

This is awesome! I've had a couple of other Black & Deckers that were smaller with air fryer features but this one is a straight-up toaster oven / convection oven. It's very wide and holds a 9 by 13 pan easy. Because of the air flow it cooks quickly. Everything I've made so far came out great. And I've made a lot including cookies and a pie and meat dishes. If you're looking for a good quality toaster oven at a good price I'd go with this one. People complain that it makes a lot of noise but I think they might have the drip pan in upside down. When I first put the drip pan in and it was upside down it rattled when the oven was running and I realized I had put it in upside down. When I corrected it, the rattling stopped. As far as the short cord, you can use an extension cord so I don't see the big deal. Overall, I love it!

I've considered and researched getting a toaster oven for sometime. My oven hasn't been working well and it may be up in the air as to finding parts or replacing it with all the trade uncertainty at this time. I looked at many ovens, whew--there are so many! I liked the way the French door ovens looked, but decided it wouldn't be best for baking and keeping an even temp. The height was an important factor, as I want it for baking. I finally decided on this Black & Decker oven--it had the most height(11.5")--and I think it could even be another inch or two taller. Other than for cookies I've been baking on the lowest rack. This has two rack levels, and its very spacious--I fit a 10 x 15 bake sheet in it easily. The whole oven is not very heavy, but does look well made. I found the turn the oven on timer a little awkward, I'll have to adjust to that. The cord was also a little short, so had to plug into a surge cord and thats been working OK. The oven did loud vibrate sometimes( my rattling pans?) not sure--but the oven has been working great. I've been using this oven often for baking homemade pizza, apple empanadas, rustic olive rolls, etc. I haven't tried yet many of the other possibilities, like lasagna, enchiladas, pies, etc,--I haven't even baked a cookie yet. So far this has been exceeding my expectations. I will need to learn adjust the temp settings. It does seem to follow recipe guidelines as far as temperature goes. I wish it had 5 min increments on the timer setting. You have to turn the timer on to turn the oven on--I still find that odd. Finally I wish the directions were better and maybe some recipes. I'm mostly pleased with this oven,and can see why its so popular. Other than some minor oddities, its spacious, fairly easy to use, and its very cost effective--Whats not to like?

We used the same toaster oven for the first 7 years of our marriage. My husband complained time and time again about how ugly it was getting and that we needed to upgrade. Well, I did that for Father's Day! Now, we use our toaster ovens a lot. Literally on a daily basis. We use it for all of the regular things that you would expect like toast, bagels, frozen prepared meals, pizza, etc. We actually don't have a microwave so we use it to warm up all of our food as well! So it is used for almost every meal of the day. I LOVE the size of this toaster oven and it is just pretty! It is so much more usable than our previous oven and it doesn't take up too much room on our countertop. I have successfully cooked things that I would have only cooked in our larger standard sized ovens previously like casseroles, bread, cookies, etc. It performed just as well as the larger oven. It's also nice not to have to heat up the entire house when I want to cook something. I do have to say that it cooks things more evenly than our previous toaster oven as well. I was specifically looking for a toaster oven with knobs versus a digital display. How many times have I had products with those fancy digital displays break?! Technology is great, but sometimes I just like to go back to the basics and I mean that in a good way. The knobs are easy to manoeuvre, but I did have a slight challenge making toast the first time. I couldn't quite figure it out. I'm sure that if I would have read the directions better that would have helped though. ;-) Now...drumroll, please...the reason for 4 stars vs 5 stars? The buzzer! That sucker is LOUD. That's great when I want to be notified so that I can remove items from the oven, but when my kids are asleep, I have a migraine, etc then I would love the option to turn it off or lower the volume. That's definitely not a make or break detail and I would still purchase this toaster oven again. Especially for the great price!

I love this. I lived in a place that as no kitchen but a small microwave and a fridge. I love to cook but I can't deal with this microwave esp when it comes down to poultry. This actually works!! Not only it can toast It can bake as well. Like a little oven. Thanks so much black & decker.

This is the best stove top oven I have ever used & will have, I now have 2 there is so much U can do with this one & I like it's size so U can use large dishes in it & it's rugged so it lasts, I highly recomend this, U won't regret it!!!

I've updated this several times so dates have been included to make it less confusing. Less than a year after purchase, the fan broke which made it nothing more than a giant toaster oven because it would burn anything when using the convection oven settings. I don't have an oven so this was NOT okay. I contacted the manufacturer since it broke in less than a year despite it being maintained properly. This was right BEFORE Christmas on 12/23 They wanted pictures. Said I would get a replacement within a week. Okay. Took the pictures and emailed. No response, waited almost the whole week. Called again on 12/29 Now they want a picture with the cord cut. Well the toaster oven part was the ONLY thing I had to cook with besides the stove or microwave, but they said it's the only way to get a replacement, and I would get it within a week of sending THAT picture. Screw it. Okay. Cut the cord. Sent the picture. No response. Called back on 01/02 and they said it hasn't been processed and I'll have to wait longer. Okay... Holidays affect timing of things. I get that. I was patient. Called back again on 01/06 and I was told a replacement had been ordered on 01/04 (which is weird bc that's a Sunday but whatever... Idk how they do their orders) but no tracking information had populated, so they "escalated" my case, and I'd get tracking information within 24-48 business hours. They also said I'd likely get the replacement before I got the tracking information. Okay. On 01/07 I was emailed and told a replacement had JUST been ordered and tracking information wasn't available yet but would be sent soon. Okay. Maybe the agent had just been mistaken and it hadn't actually been ordered on 01/04 and that's why they couldn't find the tracking information. Again, I was patient. Today is 01/09 and I called again because I know holidays can affect things like that, but I'm already not trusting ANYTHING they say since I'd been told it was already ordered but that clearly wasn't true, and it has been WAY over the one week I was originally told... but I figured surely by now they MUST have tracking information. When I called today (01/09) I VERY politely asked for a supervisor because I was AGAIN told there was no tracking information. The supervisor answered the phone laughing and gave a canned response about "sorry for your experience" and then THIS time I was told there is no set expectation for when to receive tracking information as that is handled by another department. Since I clearly don't trust them at this point, I hung up and called back to get a different supervisor who wouldn't act so unprofessional. Keep in mind, I work customer service. I'm not yelling. I'm not rude. I'm firm, but polite. This is pissing me off though, so it takes every single customer service bone in my body not to go off on the SUPERVISOR who was laughing and talking to other people in the background while I'm on the phone... Which is why I called back to speak to someone else. I'm not about that life of treating customer service people like dogs, but I'm not going to accept that type of treatment. The next supervisor said the same thing about how there's no set time to get tracking (but much more professionally) and I expressed how I was lied to since I had been told so many different things by so many different people. While the supervisor gave a canned response ("I'm so sorry this has been such a negative experience, I can understand why that's frustrating") she never said they would go back and listen to the calls and make sure those agents were giving correct information. She just made comments about how nobody was trying to be deceptive without ever verifying what was actually said by those agents. How would they know the agents weren't trying to be deceptive when they never listened to the calls? It was a very disingenuous attitude all-around.... Like they thought I didn't know what I was talking about and just assumed I was being dramatic despite how patient and polite I've been. I still have no tracking information. I will update if this is ever resolved, but I will NEVER buy from Black & Decker again because of this experience. Save your money. I know it's tempting because of the size but just don't. It breaks fast and there's is ZERO product support.

Update: Review of Second Oven Purchased: I just purchased this oven for the second time. The first one lasted four and a half years, then one day the convection and broiler just stopped working. The toaster still functioned. I tried to make do with baking a number of items in the regular oven at the same time, but since I have arm strength issues, it was kind of dangerous. Also, the blast of heat that burned my face and made my glasses fog up when I opened the oven door was annoying. So, after researching comparable countertop ovens, I chose this one again. What I love about this oven is the size. It easily fits a 9" x 13" pan with handles. It has two fittings for placement of the oven rack, but only comes with one. I kept the rack from the old oven so I can use it if the need should arise. The improvement I like to this oven is the indicators on the knobs. They are smaller and allow for a more precise placement for temperature control. The knobs move easily on the oven I received. It doesn't make a lot of noise. The oven lasted longer than the three year warranty I purchased for the first one so I skipped the warranty this time. Review of First Oven Purchased: I purchased this oven to replace a smaller, more expensive model by another manufacturer that had two racks and stopped working a few months short of two years. I visited local retailers twice and did not purchase a huge oven with two racks that would have overwhelmed the countertop. I pored over all the ovens Amazon offered and read lots of reviews. This oven works better than others because one rack fits very large pans and ensures cooking at an even temperature. I've had it two weeks and made a dozen muffins a few times, a clafouti, focaccia bread, and lasagne which weighed over four pounds. The oven can be noisy, but adjusting the rack helps. Also, it does get hot - so exercise caution when it is in use. It is large enough to fit very big pans without looking too big on the countertop. When opening the oven door gradually ease it down as there is no mechanism to control the speed with which it opens. Spills clean up easily. I was impressed with the two year warranty, but I purchased the Protect Plan as I haven't had much luck with other manufacturers' ovens lasting past the warranty, or even making it to the warranty. I am very happy with this product so far and it has outperformed my expectations.

I've had this toaster oven for about a month now and, after doing some scavenger hunting on the internet for instructions and a little trial and error, I think it's going to pretty much replace my regular gas oven. Let me save you a little frustration as to the lack of instructions, especially pertaining to the convection feature. If you select the "Bake" setting, the convection feature is activated. There is no way to turn it off, which is actually fine. What I have discovered is, if I'm baking baked goods (cookies, muffins, etc) you need to decrease the baking temperature by 25 degrees or reduce the baking time by about 25 %, or both. If you reduce the temp, start checking for doneness about 3/4 of the way through the baking process. If I'm baking a casserole, which contains more liquids or the like('cream of' soups, eggs, cheese, etc) I use the recommended temperature in the recipe and let it cook the full amount of time. I made a tuna noodle casserole last week and it was perfect using the recipe exactly as written. I haven't used the broil feature for meat yet, so I don't have a point of reference for that feature and, as I'm single and just make toast in a regular 2 slice toaster, I also don't have a review for the toast feature (I don't need 8 slices of toast at once.) What I LOVE about this oven is being able to use my regular pans! I had a smaller toaster oven before and got frustrated by having to buy special pans for it. I ended up buying a lot of disposable aluminum pans. With this oven, I can use all of my regular pans (I have several Pampered Chef ones that I wasn't able to use in the old toaster oven) except for a couple of my larger baking stones. So far, everything has baked so much more evenly than in my full sized gas oven that I'm absolutely thrilled. So, as far as the way the oven functions and the results I've had when cooking with it, I am very satisfied with this oven. The only negative comment that I have about it is that the instructions are almost non-existent. An individual shouldn't have to do 2 hours of research online and watch youtube videos to learn how to properly use this product. They really need to include an actual instruction manual, with a few recipes included for each feature of the oven, instead of a big sheet of pitiful basic instructions that are written in about a dozen different languages. I think that most of the negative reviews that I've seen could have been avoided if this were the case. Does the outside of the oven get hot? Yes, it's a toaster oven, not an insulated range, so move it away from the wall. The crumb tray slides into the slots underneath the OUTSIDE of the oven, it doesn't go inside and I believe this is the reason that so many people are saying it never gets hot enough. The convection feature comes on and stays on when baking, there's no way to shut it off. All of this could should be explained in an actual instruction manual. My last comment pertains to the price. At $67 in November, this oven was a great value. Less than a month later, it's $96!!!! Had it been this price originally, I'm not sure I would have purchased it. So, my review is A for the the oven itself, D for the lack of instructions and the $30 price hike just before Christmas.
