Black & Decker Toast-R-Oven Reviews

I bought a Black & Decker toaster oven less than 2 months ago. This morning I put a piece of toast in it and I turned around to grab a cup of coffee and I smelled smoke. I opened the toaster oven and my piece of toast was on fire. There was so much smoke that I had to open up all of my doors and windows and my smoke alarm started going off. I unplug the toaster oven and threw water on the bread. I brought it back to Walmart and they gave me my money back and I bought a different toaster oven. This is very dangerous and I do not recommend anyone buying a Black & Decker toaster oven. I have had many toaster ovens over the years, they have functioned very well. This was a very scary experience as the fire could have caused more damage outside of the toaster oven.

Just tossed my Toaster Oven out into the rain - it was on fire!! I was in my office and the toaster dinged when it finished. 10 minutes later I come in and it's on fire! I unplugged it and tossed it outside on my lawn. I think of how many times my 13-year-old has used this. We've had issues with this oven. This is frightening and should be recalled! I can't believe how many have this same issue and nothing has been done.

I purchased a convection toaster oven and when I opened it only had 1 rack and the baking pan was too large. It would not fit. It was a Black & Decker model TO4304SS. It clearly shows on box that it should have 2 racks. Other than that it seems to work. Will see how it goes as I bought it today at BJ's Wholesale.

I came home to find my Black & Decker toaster oven on with no one home to turn it on. I haven’t used the toaster oven in 3 weeks, yet the oven was on full blast-over heated it seems. I had mail on top of it that was on fire. Terrifying.

This product was obviously designed by someone who has never made a piece of toast in his life. No matter how little time the dial is turned to, it burns everything. The rack positions ensure that at least one side will not toast or will burn because it is not possible to position the toasted item in the middle. And now I see from other reviews the glass for may explode. And their complaint website does not let anything be submitted - perfect way to get no complaints.

Our Black & Decker convection countertop oven exploded in my kitchen tonight. I will NEVER buy another POS Black & Decker product ever. Black & Decker knew about this problem for many years, but continues to sell them. They belong in jail.

I'm sitting here in my living room with the distinct smell of electrical fire because 20 minutes ago my year old Black Friday special Black & Decker toaster oven just lit on fire. It was not dirty. I clean that thing. Good lord stay away from this brand! I've used toaster ovens frequently and bought a new one every few years just to upgrade and I've never had one catch on fire. Not planning on buying Black & Decker again.

We've had our toaster oven probably no more than two years. Tonight I was toasting pumpkin seeds and went into the other room while they were toasting. About two minutes later, I heard a loud bang, like something exploded--the glass door from the toaster had blown out, Hollywood style, with pieces no larger than a thumbtack everywhere. Shaken, I quickly unplugged the toaster and waited for the glass to cool before I could even begin to pick it up. I keep thinking that if it had been two minutes sooner, I would've been sprayed with hot glass and maybe even in the emergency room. Unreal that there are so many cases like mine here that stretch back over three years and nothing has been done.

I turned on the toaster oven, walked out of the room and about a minute later I heard a loud pop, returned to find glass shattered all over the kitchen. I was very thankful no one was in the kitchen. I see similar issues and am confused why there has been no recall!

BLACK+DECKER TO1675B 6-Slice Convection Countertop Toaster Oven - Had this for 6 months. It was ok. Tonight it literally exploded. No fire, no smoke, just the door blown out. All over the kitchen and living area. Scared the ** out of us. No one was hurt. Many people seem to have had the same experience. This product should be recalled. For the price I could care less but someone is going to get hurt and they shouldn't allow that to be. Make things in the USA!!!

I purchased this oven (Black & Decker Toaster Oven MD: TO1675W and 5B) in 2016 and I believe it should be recalled due to the heating element not turning off when you turn off the oven. This product is very dangerous and prone to creating a fire!

In 2008 I purchased a Black & Decker toaster oven. After only a few months, the glass door exploded right in front of me. I called B&D and they sent me a replacement. Recently the switch stopped working and the toaster/oven would not turn off at the selected time. Everything was burning. So I decided to check complaints and found that many people are experiencing the same problems with these appliances. Several people have had kitchen fires because of the malfunctioning switches. This is very dangerous and I think all B&D toaster ovens should be taken off the market until they can resolve the problems. Don't know why they are still being sold. Don't buy this product, any model.

I have used this toaster for over a year because I haven't been motivated to throw it away and purchase a new one. Until today. 50% of the time when I use the toaster the timer knob turns off but the heating element stays heated, and gets hotter and hotter! I always have to unplug the unit to get it to turn off the heating element. I can remember to do this, but, this morning, my 8 year old son made toast and it happened again. I was in another room and he doesn't know to unplug the toaster if it stays on, and luckily I came into the kitchen a few minutes after he made his toast and unplugged it because it looked and felt like it was about to BLOW UP. Is there no recall on this???

Black and Decker ToasterOven - Model # T01313SWD. Why would B&D continue to have these toaster ovens on the market and being in use when there is a definite safety hazard with them? The timer button does not shut the toaster or the oven off. A fire hazard with a tragedy waiting to happen. I should have realized when it said "Made in China" that I should have purchased a different toaster oven.

I bought a Black and Decker toaster oven, model # to1356sg 7 months ago. It has a problem with not going off when timed out or turned off. When I turned it off while answering the phone in another room, it never went off and caught the contents on fire on burned up the oven. We should have returned it sooner but knew it worked when we watched it so we could unplug it when it failed. It worked ok at times. It could have burnt the house, I stopped buying B&D anything years ago and should not have made this exception. Never again!

Bought a Black & Decker toaster and it had a one foot cord. Had to move everything to make toast. Recently bought a B & D can opener. Worked for one month and now doesn't work at all. Gave the toaster to charity and threw the can opener away. Will NEVER buy another Black & Decker brand appliance or tool!!!

Timer did not turn off heating element. Entire unit in flames and smoke. This unit should be recalled. After seeing all the complaints, why hasn't the company done something?

The Black & Decker oven toaster model #TO1675B has a defect on the timer knob. You have to stand in front of the oven toaster and shut it off manually. The timer button has never worked properly. If you turn away for a minute it will burn the food since it doesn't turn off. You hear the timer clicking and won't stop. This is a problem which can cause a fire hazard. This item should be recalled. It's dangerous.

I should have returned it! I have had this toaster over for one year. This model TO 1332 BD has "EvenToast" technology which I have found to mean it burns even toast. Even setting the toast timer below the medium setting it burns the toast. It must be watched constantly. When it does toast, it is not even. The side of the bread that is near the back always browns quicker and deeper than the front. If these were being given away free I still would not take one. We also made the mistake of purchasing a B&D coffee maker. It has a gray LED screen with black letters so it cannot be read unless you are directly in front of it. NO MORE BLACK AND DECKER for me. A once great company has lost its reputation.

I turned on the toaster oven and everything sounded normal. Then a few minutes later a loud explosion happened where all of the glass on the door and the door handle violently exploded outward. I immediately unplugged it but this is a seriously dangerous product. I didn't even know it was possible for a toaster oven to explode. This product is dangerous and should be recalled.

Black & Decker convection oven 3073283 - This oven worked well for perhaps a couple years then started cooking foods irregularly. It would heat then stop heating not cooking per the settings I entered. Then it decided to not stop heating at all and refused to shut off at all. I had to unplug the oven to stop it as it was heating/burning hot and neither the off button or any other setting I pushed would work to stop the oven or reset it. I am worried that this appliance will end up burning down someone's house while unattended. To the trash it will go and I will not replace it. Standard oven is the safest bet.

Convection 12" Pizza Toaster Oven # 3073283 - The buttons on the control panel unit were not responding properly as I needed to hold them down for a prolonged period of time before they would register the requested option. The unit was blowing the circuit breaker in my house. The unit also caught on fire when trying to toast 2 English muffins. The rear heating element bar on the bottom caught fire in the middle and I burned my right arm while putting out the fire. Clearly the unit has electrical problems and should be recalled for safety reasons.

I read comments about toaster oven only does one side of bread, but thought.... maybe it's a operator problem as surely a TOASTER Oven would DO toast properly. I was wrong. It does ONLY toast on one side. Now the comments read "I called B&D and their response was to turn the bread over half way through." Duh. Even worse, now I see comments about explosions and fires. I don't think I want to use this device. B&D offers to replace those units. Duh, why would I want another one?

Toaster oven was on for about a minute when the glass door exploded all over the kitchen and food I was preparing: My Grand Daughter was standing in front of the oven a few seconds before it blew. This is not a safe product.

We purchased the toaster oven at Lowe's. Every time we use it smoke bellows out of it.

I have never felt comfortable using a toaster oven. I have had this oven for about 1 year. I didn't feel like heating up my big range oven so I started to heat some pre-made corn tortilla taco shells in the toaster oven. After about 4 minutes I noticed there was a fire in the oven. I had to unplug, and with towels carried it to the bathtub where I had to spray with water. My 2 nearest smoke detectors were going full blast but I had to continue to spray the fire out. Needless to say it will be thrown out unless Black and Decker will reimburse my purchase. I have never liked Black and Decker due to poor quality. I had a car vacuum that never worked well, but never had anything like this fire happen. I was trying to save money by purchasing it, but now I will look online at consumer reports to look at safety issues.

I received Black and Decker TRO480BS toaster oven as gift. With moderate use (toasting muffins, fish sticks, etc.), toaster one day "began" catching fire with smoke exiting from behind switch panel on front side of panel. Tried to turn-off via timer knob on front panel, but to no avail. I had to unplug. I was fortunate that my "sub-conscious" had told me to check my toasting "early", otherwise, I feel confident the toaster would have ignited and set my house on fire. Toaster was less than 2 years old!

This product is horrible and I can't believe it is still on the market. I purchased a Black and Decker Toaster Oven from Big Lots. I've used it about 7 times. It has caught on fire, not once, but twice!! The first time it happened, I thought that it occurred because there was too much grease. Cleaned my oven thoroughly and then it happened again! Thank God I was home and noticed the smoke. I unplugged it immediately. Why is this toaster oven not recalled? This is unacceptable.

Black and Decker convection oven model CT06335S - Oven door shattered after only about 10 minutes shooting glass across kitchen. Temperature was set correctly according to manual that came with oven. No one will contact me back about this. Oven only a few months old. Very dangerous.

I put pita bread in the toaster oven to warm up. Went into my garage next to my kitchen to get something out of our freezer. Heard a huge bang. Two of my three large dogs screamed while the third one went running with her tail between her legs into the garage with me. I ran into the house only to see two of my dogs covered in hot, broken tempered glass. I quickly brushed them off and saw that the toaster oven door literally exploded! The glass that wasn't on the dogs, was all over the floor and the toaster was still going. I unplugged it and was trying to see what happened.
