Decent Toaster Oven
The Black & Decker toaster oven that I've owned for at least a decade finally bit the dust, so I had to buy a new one. I loved my B&D toaster oven, and small ones that that are hard to find. I wanted another small one (most of the toaster ovens out now seem to be as large as full-size microwave ovens, and I'm not willing to sacrafice that much counter space), but I also hoped to find one that was slightly deeper so I could bake more things in it. My requirements were simple - just something that will toast bread and bagels and bake small frozen foods such as pizza and fries. Nothing fancy, therefore nothing expensive.
I needed to replace my broken one right away. After searching Macy's, JCPenney's, and Sears and finding very limited choices, I found myself at Target trying to choose between 2 B&D models and this Euro-Pro model, all between $30-35. The B&D ovens seemed so flimsy and cheap I was reluctant to buy one, but the only other "small" toaster oven was a brand...
Do Not Buy: Unsafe!!
We bought this toaster about 2 years ago. We loved it until this morning. Luckily none of us were in the kitchen when it happened... after being on for about 2 minutes the glass door EXPLODED! I couldn't believe it. There was glass everywhere and it looked like a bomb went off inside of it. I will NEVER buy this brand again. My 1 year old plays in the kitchen all the time and she was in there about 5 minutes before it happened. It's one thing to stop working after a while but to explode... that's just unrealistic. I contacted the company and they were willing to send me a new toaster if I sent them a check for $20. Um, your toaster exploded in my kitchen... I'm not going to send you money. That's all they would do so I said no thanks and am buying a black and decker with good reviews.
Low quality product
This toaster looked great and had the right size I was looking for but it did not last very long. The thermostat simply stopped working in the middle of baking something and the elements kept heating to a dangerously high temperature. The lower timer knob also stopped functioning properly and the unit stayed on after the timer went past the vertical stop position. It only lasted six months. I would never buy another one of these
