Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My Wife & I purchased this Oven with the thoughts that with a Brand Name like Black & Decker that safety would be a priority. We were so wrong! This oven has so little heat shielding that using a Professional Chef's Thermometer (I am a Pastry Chef) we measured over 150'F on the side over 200'F on the back and we stopped counting when the top hit 250'F and was still rising. You get easily burned by this unit as even the control panel was hot, over 120'F, the door is very hot and just drops due to the weight and if you try to catch it you will get burnt. I would not place this within 6" of anything and definitely would not keep it under the shelves because if it does not set it on fire the intense heat this generates will destroy the underside. It can also not be placed against a wall unless you have a piece of heat resistant board to keep it from destroying your drywall, or worse yet setting fire to your wallpaper!
Not only due to the hazards this presents but because the controls are not user friendly. You have no idea how long something is going to take, you ask it to toast and it just goes and you have to watch to see how dark it is getting and stop it.
Tomorrow we are bringing it back and we would rather spend 2x the money for another than risk burning down the house.
