Features

Do you know that the Breville BOV800XL Convection Toaster Oven is 4th best selling technology appliance on Amazon.com? Well, the entire credit goes to its IQ and versatile features.

If you want you can customize the time and temperature settings, and the oven will retain the same ones the next time.

Black & Decker TROS1500B Toaster Oven Review

Black & Decker TROS1500B Toaster OvenPerhaps style and functionality are two of the many prerequisites of a toaster oven to be dubbed as a “good” one. It is not arguable that Black & Decker TROS1500B Toaster Oven provides both. It is a smart toaster oven with spacious interiors that can handle up to 3-4 toasts or a whole 9-inch pizza. It functions well and can make toasts and cook like an oven if the toaster oven’s functionality is the concern.

“Black and Decker TROS1500B SpaceMaker & Traditional Toaster Oven” has lived up to its name. “Spacemaker” can be mounted under a kitchen counter; saving a decent amount of space. Further, the Black & Decker TROS1500B SpaceMaker Traditional Toaster Oven doesn’t take much space for itself either; this product measures around 20 by 13 by 15 inches. It’s a toaster oven which plays both the role of a toaster and an oven serviceably. However if greater functions are desired, thorough disappointment is a major possibility.

Product Features

Lavishly styled in color of black, Black & Decker TROS1500B is a stylish and convenient toaster oven. It is mountable under the kitchen cabinet which will save a lot of space from the kitchen. TROS1500B also features a spacious exterior which will fit 4 slices or a nine-inch pizza. The toaster oven is a binomial playing both as oven and as toaster; it is versatile.

TROS1500B offers an ideal 30 minute timer, one that escapes from over and undercooking of dishes. It also has a cord management system, leaving the device neat and without messy cords hanging here and there. The product also includes a manual and a mount template making installation easier.

- Mountable under the kitchen counter
- Stylish design
- Spacious interior
- Can hold up to 4 slices of toasts
- 30 minute timer
- Cord management system
- Can both bake and make toasts
- Drop down crumb tray

Pros

Stylishly and smartly designed under the black color, TROS1500B is an efficient space saver as it is mountable while not being big of a size itself. It is versatile too, as it can toast and bake. It features a thirty minute timer which is ideal for beginning users to avoid over and undercooking.

Cons

While versatile, TROS1500B fails to deliver better functions than that of a regular oven toaster: to both bake and toast. It makes toasts and bakes, true; however it does nothing than those beyond. The temperature has relatively bigger intervals which struggle beginning users in using. The premise of “easy-installation” may be not that believable to some because the installation is actually relatively complex than described in the manual.

Conclusion

TROS1500B is a reasonably priced toaster oven, with price as low as $54.00 at Amazon, for the features that it offers. It is a smart and sleek unit with serviceable performance helpful to many households. It makes good toast, if that is the main concern here.
