Like everyone else I was trying to put the crumb tray in the bottom from inside the oven. None of my food was cooking from bottom so I thought it was defective. The manual should be more detailed so more customers know how to properly set up their oven and not want to return it! Now that I’ve been on this website I have figured out that the crumb tray needs to go in from OUTSIDE the oven. Now it works perfectly. It’s a shame so much food was wasted before I figured this out. That is why I o my rated 1 star. VERY POOR MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!

The many features of this toaster oven was what attracted me to this oven. The price was right up my ally. That is the only good thing about this toaster oven. After setting it up I tried the toast feature, it didn't take long to know this was not for me. The whole outside oven was so hot I could not put it close to anything. The outside cabinet should not get hot, this oven is a safety hazard and I will be returning it as fast as I can.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a great size and easy to use. Perfect for reheating foods or making toast/english muffins. It looks attractive and fits beautifully on my countertop. Convection is the way to go to cut down on cooking time. Love it and definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free in exchange for my honest opinion and review. This toaster oven sits on my countertop and is very beautiful! It has multiple options available for baking, convection, toasting, broiling, etc. I use it weekly to bake my toddler fish sticks, chicken nuggets, fries, toast, appetizers etc. The little pan that it comes with is thin aluminum and gives off a bad smell when heating it up, so I use a small glass pan that I purchased instead to cook on. I have used this toaster oven over a year without any problems. It is fast, reliable, and saves money and time over using a normal household oven! Perfect for a small family or quick meal.
SENDING IT BACK...A huge flat pan probably crumb pan comes with it..But where do you put it. INSTRUCTIONS SAY NOTHING ABOUT CONVECTION...French Fries that take 20 minutes in over took 40. Probably due to placement of crumb tray..Say 3 levels I see 2. I bought this because of the black and decker name...Never again..Instructions are terrible.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this several months ago and have used it in many capacities- baking, reheating and toasting. However, if the crumb tray is left in the oven while toasting, the underside of the bread remains soft and does not toast. It toasts fine if I remove that tray, which seems to defeat the purpose of the tray, because then crumbs can fall to the bottom of the oven. Now I'm wondering if I should remove it when baking, as it seems to take several minutes longer for some things to bake even if I use a higher temperature. It seems like the tray blocks the heat underneath the food. I would like to know if it is meant to be left out sometimes to allow for the convection air flow to be more effective. Other than this issue, I do like it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
