I wanted the under-the-counter space-saving feature that I had in my old toaster oven and I learned an expensive lesson. This product is worthless as a toaster. There is only one single heating element through the center of the toaster that results in bread that is toasted in patches, but, most importantly, leaves it just plain dry. Lousy product, and not cheap.

I read the reviews for this toaster oven and, in general, I agree that the last step in the installation (connecting the oven to the mount)is a bit of a challenge but I didn't find it so daunting as described and, start to finish, the whole procedure took less than one hour. I wish the timer went to more than 30 minutes, but that's a quibble. I also wish it had a tray, but fortunately I kept my old one and it's just good to not have to fix the old (20 yrs.) B & D spacemaker!

Paid: $65 including tax
PRO: Good looking
CON: Difficult, if not impossible, to install; hazardous to use; Inconvenient controls; no way to broil; no tray provided; uneven toasting pattern
If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Many years ago, B & D invented an under-the-cabinet toaster-oven, of which I have owned at least two. It became a classic. With one-button operation it was easy to operate and it shut off automatically, for safety, when the door was opened. When the heating element burned out, it was a simple matter to buy a new one for $30 and slip it into the slots.
When our toaster heating element burned out we discovered that B & D had replaced the successful model for a Toaster from Hell. To start with, it costs double what the simple old toaster did. To operate the toaster, each time one wants toast, one has to decide how long it takes and set the control to the estimated time (gauge is marked in 5 minute increments.) If you overestimate and the toast starts to burn, you have to open the door and quickly extract the semi-burned toast while filling the kitchen with a blast of hot air and smoke. The oven continues to heat until you shut if off manually, created a hazard, especially if there are curious young children present.
But before you are ready to burn toast, you have the fun of installing the toaster under your cabinets. You've seen those 3-dimensional Chinese puzzles. If you like playing with those, while blindfolded, you'll love installing this toaster! It took me 10 or 12 hours over a period of three days; depending upon the shape of your existing cabinets, it may be easier for you....or it may be impossible.
Everything reviewer Spice of Life said is true and his advice was a big help to me.
Although I give this toaster a low rating, I'm going out and buy another of the same model, as a backup. After the heating element fails on this one, I don't want to have to install another "new and improved" model later.
P S: At least it's handsome and matches the color of our other appliances. It looks even better after I removed the redundant legs.
Cost of electricity to toast 1 to 4 slices: less than one cent
Dimensions: width 16.5" height 8" depth 13"

It's great to keep my counter clear and still have the toaster oven accessible. I love the timed automatic turn off for safety. My previous oven keeped on going until turned off. My only negative comment is on the cord control. The cord provided is to too long for my needs and hangs down despite a small device provided to wrap the cord around. I needed only about 6 inches of cord and 24+ was provided. Modern kitchens have many outlets and do not need long cords.

Thank goodness we read the review from "Life of Spice" while we were trying to install. There are now 8 holes instead of necessary 4 in the underside of our upper cabinet because the template was so far off. Thanks a bunch B&D! Life of Spice was right on the money with the nightmare installation. Buyer Beware!!!
