BLACK+DECKER Spacemaker Under-Counter Toaster Oven, Black/Stainless Steel, TROS1000D

Quality Solid Oven Toaster. I say oven toaster as opposed to toaster oven because I honestly believe this unit will be used to do so much more than toast. Its oven area is nicely sized. It has a solid 10.25 x 9.5 cooking area. In fact for those of you who are going to purchase this do not forget to order this: Delonghi XU18PS Tempered Pizza Stone. I looked all over the internet for a good oven tray and then it occurred to me why not get a cooking stone so that pizzas crisp up well and just about anything can be set on it to warm up like egg rolls and all sorts of bite size baking snacks. This Delonghi Stone fits perfectly in the oven like it was made for it.The only negative thing about the oven is that the oven did not come with a toaster tray. But you can find em all over anyways for cheap so no biggie there.This oven toaster came with the under cabinet mount so I am not sure why someone else said it did not. Also the stencil worked PERFECTLY for spacing the four X points if you do the following: What I did was put the mount under the cabinet exactly where I needed it. I then marked two of the front holes with a thin long nail and then drilled on the marks because marking all four holes this way would not be accurate as there is some play with the nail I used to mark the holes. I then took the stencil paper and cut out from the stencil just along all four drill spots to make a rectangle that matched the mounts screw holes. X to X to X to X and placed the paper on the shelf with one corner directly on the two front holes I drilled. I was able to mark and drill all the other holes accurately from the stencil and it was perfectly spaced and centered for the rack which mounted perfectly.It was tricky using the gap spacers so be ready to deal with that fun.I recommend that they manufacture spacers that will fit snugly or screw onto the down mount bolts so that they do not fall off when mounting. Just as a tip, if you put the down bolts through the holes and then wrap the bolt that sticks out on the underside of the cabinet with white teflon tape that plumbers use just thick enough so that the spacers stay snugly on the bolt than you should avoid a spectacle of three stooges proportions ;)Someone mentioned that they only had one set of 4 bolts but I was given 4 long and 4 short so the long ones worked with my typical cupboard lip. I also was given 12 spacers, 4 each of thin, med, long. You should only need spacers for the back two bolts and not the front if you mount the mount flush with the edge of the cupboard instead of inside the lip of the edge as the edge holds it very tight and snugly.One last things, there was a great tip by someone else to unscrew and remove the legs on the oven because it looks better. I would partially agree with this... However I recommend only removing the front which gives it a nice clean look and also the back legs cannot be seen when left on and have a hook that goes up the back of the oven which is for excess cord holding. I orginally took them off in the back but realized the rear legs have a dual purpose and put them back on and they cannot be seen and are useful for the cord so it does not droop down.As a side note I was impressed with the way this was packaged and shipped. Double boxed and solid as a rock! The door feels solid and I like the electronic features. It matches my GE stove and fridge and dishwasher perfectly.This is my 2nd under the cabinet Spacemaker Oven Toaster and it is much better than the first one from soup to nuts because the heating element on the bottom and the top is a chunky 1/2 inch thick and not the pencil thickness.

I have been using this oven for a little over a month now and it is what I hoped it would be. It is mounted under one of my kitchen cabinets, freeing up that footprint on the countertop. It is a replacement for an older Black and Decker Space Maker toaster oven, so I had a pretty good idea of how it would be. Over the years, the oven has been updated, and this one is digital. As such, it is not completely intuitive to operate, so I had to get out the instruction booklet. However, the instructions are easy to read and follow, so I was up and running after a quick scan of the booklet. I have had especially to get used to the timing button which has to be set every time the oven function is used. I had thought the oven would remain on until switched off, but rather it has an adjustable time control that will turn the oven off when it expires. In that respect, it operates much like a toaster. This is a safety bonus; I will never have to worry about whether I turned the oven off or not. Once I learned the new controls, I have been able to use both the oven and the the toaster functions easily. All in all, the fact it mounts up off the cabinet top and out of the way makes having to learn the controls worth the effort. And if it lasts as long as the oven it replaced, then it certainly will be an excellent choice for me.

It is a nice good looking space saving toaster. I couldn't find other toasters like this one that can be mounted under a cabinet. It has what I need in a toaster.It doesn't have extra features such as broil function, and timer maxes out at 30 minutes. The rack seems to be in the center of the oven and doesn't automatically open when you open the tray. I can't make croissants in it as it isn't that vertical in space. The installation wasn't hard. It could have had better detailed instructions. Just be willing to bend your back to get those screws in under the cabinet.It cooks 4 pieces of toast just fine. Which is what I need.and I like it as it gives you plenty of space back in the kitchen.Definitely good looking and worth it for the space-saving. Giving it 5 stars as there is nothing on the market that I can find that compares.

I've read other reviews on this toaster and figured that installation couldn't be as difficult as they say. I still had to make modifications. Don't bother trying to find longer screws, Metric M5 screws longer than the ones that come with it can't be found. I looked at several places and online, NONE. My cabinet has decorative trim on the lower edge and is empty on the bottom side. First I had to fill the space with two layers of 5/8" plywood, so the bottom of the cabinet was even with the trim on the outside. Next, I used the bracket as a template, marking through the screw holes. I drilled the holes from the outside. Then I drilled through from the inside with a large bit, deep enough so the head of the screw would recess about 3/4" and the threads of the screw would extend far enough to attach the bracket. No need to use spacers and this feels more solid. As others also say, it would be nice if they had included a tray. I kept the one that came with my previous model from 1987. I'm glad I picked the one with the digital controls, It works nice and seems well built.
