BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Crisp ‘N Bake Air Fry Toaster Oven, TO1787SS, 5 Cooking Functions, 30 Minute Timer, Stainless Steel

It was a little larger than I thought it would be, but I love it! It cooks great and the inside is quite large. I love that it is a convection oven. My last toaster oven was kept in a cupboard, I keep this one on the counter.

This toaster oven/air fryer started out great. And by that, I mean it worked. Which is a pretty low bar for a brand new, never used, appliance. That bar, however quickly became pie in the sky unobtainable for this cheap, poorly designed, and terribly manufactured piece of garbage (literally, because the garbage is where it ended up just SIX MONTHS after purchasing!). As I said, it worked, right out of the box. It turned on, it got hot, it (usually) turned off when the timer was up. Sadly, ALL of these most basic of functions were well beyond the technical abilities of the pitiful excuse for an “Industrial Designer” and the slave labor employing, cost cutting ineptitude of the Third World “Manufacturer” that Black and Decker outsourced this loser to. Within a month, ALL of the controls became as sketchy and unreliable as your sister’s unemployed “drummer” boyfriend. The Temperature selector would occasionally hit our intended target, though not nearly often enough to be considered, by any definition of the word, “accurate”. And that knob eventually (6 months) gave up its valiant struggle with mediocrity, and just stopped trying. The “Timer” never really functioned in the realm of actual “time”. Its range of motion from new, only covered one direction, forward. If you missed your target time for cooking on the first spin, too bad, Einstein, because there’s no going backwards. Time only marches on for this machine. Your two choices are burnt food or skipped meals. I mean, seriously, what knobs only turn in one direction? That seems harder to engineer than just doing it right.
The entire machine just stopped working before the six month anniversary of this bad decision, and this glorious testament to sub standard manufacturing became an oversized place holder on our kitchen counter, wasting more real estate than a Time Share in Syria, while we searched for what is apparently a Holy Grail appliance; a toaster oven that actually does even a small percentage of what the pretty, full color photos on cardboard box it comes in claims it’ll do.

I know. Call me a dreamer.

Added Note: For the adventurous among you that have already purchased this abomination and are currently experiencing its painful inadequacy, do a quick YouTube search for this Black and Decker model and add “troubleshooting” to your search. There are an enormous number of videos of intrepid tinkerers taking their lives in their hands by opening up the case and trying to “fix” the shoddy workmanship found inside. Wires that are only partially connected… or not connected at all, a lack of heat insulation or even basic safety components, wires that glow red hot when the appliance is plugged in, the list of problems seems as long as the component parts listed for this junk in the “manual”. Its an insurance nightmare waiting to happen.
But be forewarned, you can’t “fix” stupid.

I was looking for something that has air fryer with low wattage. This is it! It works great.

I like this appliance because it is smaller than the previous one but still all that I need. It toasts both top and bottom of scones and bread, but takes some getting used to to adjust the length of the toast.

Purchased for my elderly mother in law. She needed something simple to use and easy to clean. This countertop oven does a great job, and keeps her from having to bend over and try to get things in and out of a large oven. Since she lives alone its perfect for what she needs to prepare meals. The large buttons/display screen are great for her, and given her age, we find anything overly complicated doesn’t end well. The simplicity of use is what we looked high and low for. We were on a mission to get her something that did not have all the extra buttons like so many others do that say things like, Popcorn, Poultry, Pizza, etc. All those types left her scratching her head and she kept going back to trying to use a big oven and bending over and hurting her back. Having the oven, toaster, and air fryer all in one with a simple use design made this the perfect find for her situation. Thank you Black and Decker!
