Black and Decker TRO390

Pros: Toasts evenly, oven timer helps avoid burning foods.

Cons: Not fast at making toast, feels cheap

The Bottom Line: Good oven for the price, when used as designed and intended.

Review: If you don't expect great things from this cheap little oven, you'll be quite happy with the it. That may seem like "damning with feint praise," but this little oven does exactly what it's designed and priced to do. How we use it: We cook at ...

Pros: Cheap. Toasts evenly. Pull-out crumb tray.

Cons: Slow and loud.

Review: I have had quite a few B&D toaster-ovens. Mostly I use them for toasting, occasionally for baking. I have learned not to expect them to last a very long time, but they are inexpensive, at least. This one, the TRO390, I got a couple of months ago. It ...

Pros: Unobtrusive styling, small footprint, reasonable price

Cons: Weak toasting performance, questionable durability, hard to clean crumb tray, early demise

The Bottom Line: Want a versatile appliance that won't clutter your kitchen or empty your wallet? This is for you. Want dark toast from an appliance that will last? Keep looking.

Review: The Black & Decker TRO390 bears the name “Classic”, a designation borne by many other toaster ovens from this well-known manufacturer. The “classic” part of this model lies in its basic architecture –essentially the same simple ...

Pros: Cleaning, the oven and broiler work great, the price is reasonable.

Cons: Making toast

The Bottom Line: Do not buy if you need to make toast, it takes forever.

Review: When our old Black & Decker Toaster Oven which was 8 years old, died I ventured out to Wal Mart to purchase another. With several brands and models to choose from, I decided to stay with Black& Decker. The price was $42.00 and I liked to three ...

Pros: nice design, small size

Cons: smoked, smelled, took too long to toast

Review: I just purchased this toaster oven . It was a cheaper price and soon I found out why. It took so long to toast one piece of toast. It had a burning smell the whole time it was toasting. And small puffs of smoke rose from the sides. What a waste of time ...

Pros: It has a door,...and knobs,...and a power cord

Cons: poor performance, questionable life, extremely hot exterior, only 15 minute timer, bad overall design

The Bottom Line: The only reason we even had this was as it was sent as a warranty replacement for another model. We never would have even bought it.

Review: I received this as a warranty replacement for another B&D Model no longer made. ( under cabinet mount space saver oven) The first thing we noticed was that while the outside case is larger than the old unit, the cooking cavity is over an inch ...

Pros: Nice design, great value ($ vs features), quality feel of control and parts.

Cons: Not reliable! Total failure in a matter of weeks.

The Bottom Line: Maybe your experience will be different. It would still be on my countertop if it hadn't died so quickly

Review: After spending a week on the web researching toaster ovens I ventured out to the local strip mall to get up close and personal with these models so that I could finally replace the beat up and impossible to clean beast on my countertop. It's not hard to ...

Pros: small
nice looks
inexpensive

Cons: gives off an awful smell
heats up badly
confusing controls
cheap feel

The Bottom Line: A good buy for an aspiring arsonist.

Review: I got this toaster oven as a present for my birthday, and was all excited at the prospect of making grilled cheese sandwiches without having to fuss with the big oven. I was also extremely pleased with the appearance of the unit - it is very stylish and ...

Pros: Good looks, simple to use, small

Cons: Took forever to make toast, smelled, created smoke out the sides, high heat generated

Review: We thought this would be the perfect toaster to replace our similar Black & Decker which broke after 10 years. It has a simple operation, a timer, is small and looks unobtrusive and does not have fancy features we did not want to pay for. However, it ...
