Looks well constructed, nice design and backed by what I thought was a good brand name. I unpacked the first one and the handle fell off (glued to glass door with a heat resistant glue.) I exchanged it for another one. The timer would not turn off. Regardless of the setting, the timer would tick down to the “light” toast setting and stop. It could not automatically turn off. The case of the toaster also gets extremely hot, and the entire unit emits a chemical/plastic smell, which may go away with time. Further research indicated that the unit did not appear to be UL listed. I returned it to the store within 24 hours. The customer service department indicated they get many returned. Avoid.

We purchased this toaster for the name of Black and Decker,and its solid reputation!
This toaster oven was purchased almost 2 years ago.
The knob fell off, and the rubber feet on the underside also fell out. We simply replaced it for the same model.
No problems whatsoever with the new one, except the rubber feet kept falling off.
About 6 months ago, the top heating element stopped working. We have been using it as is, but once again we are in the market for a new toaster oven.
I would like to mention we have been using B & D toaster ovens for over 20 years; the very first one lasted over 11 years.I expect Black and Decker products to be faultless,and to last a lifetime. Over time, I have seen B & D using cheaper parts ie, the knobs will be poorly made, handle not as sturdy, something else falling off, poor construction.
