Customer Reviews of Black & Decker TRO390W Toast-R-Oven Classic Countertop Oven/Broiler
Customer Rating: Summary: Not so much Comment: I've had several toaster ovens over the years and ordered this one without seeing an actual one in a store. I'm a bit disappointed. It seems to leak out a lot of hot air through the front - wasting energy...and the set up for toasting is odd - I never remember how to set the other 2 dials. It seems complicated for no good reason. I would not buy another one. Customer Rating: Summary: FIRE HAZZARD Comment: I picked this model not for price but for function. It is one of the few models on the market that provide a wide range rotary dial for toasting times. That's the good news. The bad news is awful: 1 - It gets VERY hot on the outside. We can deal with that. Barely. 2 - The rotary timer will sometimes just stop, allowing the toaster to get hotter and hotter with no shut off. If I hadn't been in the room when this was going on, I strongly expect the unit would have caught itself or its surroundings on fire and burned down my house. This product is a disgrace to B&D. Customer Rating: Summary: Junk Comment: Do not waste your money. I failed to check Amazon reviews before purchasing this unit. It was a great price, but a useless unit. Customer Rating: Summary: DO NOT Buy This Toaster - Fire Hazard Comment: I bought this toaster oven because it was inexpensive, small, had the features I wanted, and matched our kitchen decor nicely. Black and Decker is usually a reliable brand. BIG mistake - I should know by now that you should research all products, no matter how cheap, before buying. We have had this toaster oven less than a year. It functioned fairly well for several months, although it did get too hot on the outside and was not particularly sturdy. Then the toaster timer quit working properly - it would continue past the zero and the oven would not turn off unless unplugged. We have been continuing to use it since then (plugging and unplugging it, burning a few items) until we could look into fixing it. But after reading these reviews, I realize how dangerous this could be and will be buying a different toaster. Customer Rating: Summary: EXTREMELY DANGEROUS OVEN Comment: Do NOT buy this toaster oven. We bought ours approx a month ago. Yesterday it caught on FIRE. Literally. Apparently the "toast timer" bell rang, but the oven stayed on. Thank God for our smoke alarm in the kitchen, because I had stepped outside for literally a couple of minutes to check on my Husband, and then heard the smoke alarm. I unplugged the oven, and hucked it out into our driveway. Our cabinets are slightly burned, and I'm thankful that's all. I'm now noticing from other reviews that this is not a UL listed product. I am horrified that dangerous products like these are being made under once valued names like Black & Decker. Today we are going to try to find a nice regular toaster made in the US. More Reviews 4-slice capacity. Bakes, broils, toasts, reheats. Slide rack doubles as a broil rack. 2-position slide rack and bake pan included. Compact oven for space saving countertop cooking. 15-minute bake timer with signal bell for precise timing. Toasting indicator signal lets you know when toasting is done Choosing Appliance -> Do I need a dishwasher? If you enjoy washing by hand, no! However modern machines use less water, detergent and power than ever before and wash hotter using really powerful cleaners giving a hygienic wash result. You can save around 500 hours a year so it is worth thinking about. If you have a small kitchen or live alone, choose a slimline model. Choosing Appliance -> Taps Dual-flow mixers provide independent hot, cold or mixed water after leaving the end of the spout. They can be deck-mounted on the sink or pillar/bridge-mounted for a more traditional look. Alternatively, choose a monobloc tap, which is a single-hole fitting that usually has two handles for hot and cold water supply. Black & Decker TRO390W Toast-R-Oven Classic Countertop Oven/Broiler Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Natural Granite Maintenance Granite must not be rubbed with abrasive materials instead, wash with clean warm water to which a non-abrasive light neutral detergent (PH7) may be added. Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a chamois leather or similar. Drainer Grooves can be cleaned using wire wool. |
