Too many complainers
By Howard
I purchased our toaster earlier this week before having read any reviews about it here. I reviewed many, many other toasters/ovens on Amazon, then went to Target with a couple in mind that were in stock. In general, I'm extremely disappointed in the quality of all toasters/toaster ovens out there right now. They felt like cheap aluminum boxes mass produced in China. Our Krups toaster oven has been with us for 10 or 15 years and was wonderful. In any case, while getting disgusted at what Target did have available, around the corner in the aisle with all the Black and Decker SpaceMaker items I found this toaster and with a good sale price.I get it home, quickly come here and see horror story after horror story. I'm wondering if I should even open the box or just take it back to Target immediately. Well, luckily I ignored the reviews here. Our SpaceMaker can opener has been wonderful and I was going to give this toaster a shot.Having been forewarned about all the problems and headaches others have had with installation, I read all the instructions, took my time, laid everything out, checked, double checked and even triple checked before drilling any holes. Everything installed fine - no problems whatsoever. I didn't need 4 hands, extra spacers, longer screws, and didn't have any issues which others bring up. The instructions are fairly clear, and for anything which wasn't, anyone with some spacial acumen can figure out how things need to fit together. The instruction booklet was also very clear that if you needed additional spacers, to simply call them and they'd send them free of charge.So, the toaster was installed a few days ago and looks beautiful in the location of our old toaster oven, but we now find ourselves with more counter space - just wonderful. A couple days go by and finally someone wants a toasted bagel for breakfast. Instead of blindly setting the knob for how long to toast and walking away, we did the unthinkable - we watched it toast to get an idea of how long it takes. The reason people are saying it burns their toast is because the heating elements are powerful and it toasts quickly. What's the big deal with that? Our Krups toaster oven had two heating elements on the top and two on the bottom. I was slightly concerned because this one has only one on the top and one on the bottom - however, these are thicker, they heat up extremely quickly, and they are more powerful. So, we made a guess how long we should set the timer, watched, and turned it off when done - just a tad shorter than we estimated. It also toasted evenly - no complaints.Long story short - ignore the reviews here that do nothing but complain.1. Read all the instructions when installing2. Double and triple check location of holes and hood before drilling3. First few times cooking with it, watch how long things take before being bold enough to set the timer and walk away. It's powerful - that's a good thing.Update 10/16/2012=================Over three years later and it's still working fine for us. Still very happy.Issues - just one with the lower timer knob breaking on the inside since it's plastic and not extremely strong. Used some super glue and jammed it back on - good as new.

By M. Williams
I'm not sure what the other reviewers were installing, but I had no problems. Tape up the template, drill the holes, add spacers and attach. Pretty straight forward. By the way, I'm a single woman and not in the construction or home improvement business. I have no complaints about the install, so please don't let some of the other reviews sway your decision. The unit looks great and works good. Different controls than my last toaster oven, but its not rocket science so within a few minutes you should have it down.

OK But Not great
By K. T. Rapt
As its name implies, this device functions as a toaster and as an oven. It's not very good at either activity. Its name also includes "Spacemaker", and it does this pretty well.Good points:It is nicely styled. It saves space by being mountable under a kitchen counter, as well as not being very large. It does make toast and it does serve as an oven.Bad points as a toaster:There is a single heating element across the top of the oven interior, which is baffled from the rack by a metallic diffuser strip. A mirror image of this assembly exists on the bottom. In the toaster function, this results in uneven brownness across the piece of bread, even when the bread is carefully centered. The precision with which the timer can be set (a resolution of 5 minutes!) is not adequate to get repeatable results from one piece of bread to another.Bad points as an oven:The temperature can be set in 50 degree intervals. I checked the temperature using an oven thermometer of the type you can buy in the hardware aisle in a supermarket. Even though it's a non-precision device I think it's pretty accurate because it reads within a few degrees of the set point in my conventional oven. With 150 degrees selected, it settled down at 240 degrees; with 250 degrees selected it settled down at 320 degrees.Installation instructions: These are so screwed up they're hilarious (after you recover your temper from having your time wasted). The principal problem is that the drilling template provided differs from the mounting hole pattern of the toaster oven by inches. Just remember that the function of the curved front portion of the heat shield is to deflect heat and moisture away from the front of the cabinet. The line at which the curve starts downward should be about a quarter inch in front of the cabinet front, then figure out your front-to-back mounting dimensions from that.
