I shopped and shopped and compared and compared before buying a toaster oven.(It drove my husband nuts that I spent so much time on a 40-dollar item...)I wanted something to cook small portions of things like fish sticks, pizzas, tater tots, etc., without heating up the big oven.I finally settled on this B&D TRO910W model and am so pleased that I did.I have had it for about four months now, and it does the job perfectly.It comes with one wire rack that can be adjusted to two heights, plus a "mini broiler pan" (pan with a separate rack inside it w/ holes to drain) and also a little handle-thingy that you use to remove the pan from the oven.This handle grabs the pan very securely and I have not burned my fingers once (and I saw on several other reviews of Black & Decker toaster ovens that this was an issue for some people, but I can't imagine why.)I do not use it for toast at all so I can't speak for that.The interior will hold a small pizza (no bigger than 10-inch diameter.)I haven't spilled anything yet and no toast crumbs so I have not had to clean it, but it seems like it would be easy -- it has a tray below that you pull out from outside the door to clean.
As another reviewer noted, the picture Amazon has on here for the TRO910W is not what it actually looks like.It does have the curved front glass door as pictured, but there are only three large white plastic knob/controls -- one for toast darkness setting light-medium-dark, one is the timer (up to 60 min.), and one selects between toaster or oven functions and also then sets the temperature if you select "oven" instead of "toast." It has a light on the front that indicates when it is turned on.The only thing it lacks that I really miss is that there is no indicator to let you know when it has pre-heated to the proper temperature -- I wish it would "ding" or have a light that goes out like a waffle iron or something.As it is, I just watch it until the burners stop glowing and then I figure it must be pre-heated.I have not measured the temps with a thermometer but it seems to be accurate, and it preheats quickly enough for me (faster than the big oven anyway, which was my goal.)
One other small thing about the appearance -- the color is not a true "bright white," it is more like a very very light bisque, which turned out to be a perfect match in my kitchen as all my other appliances are bisque.It is very very close to white, though, and would be fine in a white kitchen -- it doesn't look "dirty" or discolored or off-white.
All in all, I'm very pleased with this oven.There were many more I looked at that were way more expensive, but for forty bucks it does exactly what I need.
