Black & Decker CTO649 Toaster Oven

Pros: Really like it because it does what it's supposed to do without any fuss.
Cons: Nothing so far, and I hope it continues that way.

We read toaster oven reviews for a long time and investigated different models at many stores before settling on this one about a month ago. It's good looking, big, easy to use, nice features, and has excellent toast, bake, and broil functions. We bought ...

Pros: Does everything a regular oven does--easy clean up
Cons: NONE

I needed to replace my old Black and Decker toaster oven because the cord was starting to get hot. (It was small and fairly old.) When I saw the Black and Decker CTO649, I knew this was the one I wanted because I liked the style and thought it would ...

Pros: None
Cons: broke down in 2 months

Bought this because it was a good price (USD 50 ) and looked good, but sadly after two months of light usage (once a day to toast 2 pieces of bread), the dial for the toast function did not work anymore.

Pros: nice looking
Cons: DOES NOT LAST

had less than one year piece of crap element went out under normal use BD used to be a good product

Pros: Looks good, reputable name.
Cons: After six months of normal usage, bottom element stopped working, waste of money!!!

This was bought as a replacement for a toaster oven we had for 15 years!!  In less than 6 months, the bottom heating coil wouldn't come on, so in order to toast a piece of bread you had to turn it over and turn it on again!!  Customer service was a joke! Would NOT purchase B&D again!!!!  Save your money!!!

Pros: Looks Good
Cons: Did not last.

We got this as a replacement for a working older model B&D toaster oven to update the kitchen. The toaster oven failed in 14 months while 2 other B&D units before it lasted for years and were replaced because we wanted a bigger unit. When it worked, the heating was uneven for toasting bread. We liked it because of the larger area that it provided and its utility in not having to use the main oven for relatively small items.
