BLACK+DECKER Crisp ‘N Bake Air Fry Toaster Oven

We are living in an RV while we build a house and the gas oven in the RV is very difficult to light. I thought I could use this as an oven, air fryer, and toaster. It works ok as a toaster. For the oven and air fryer it doesn’t work well at all. It doesn’t get hot enough to roast or air fry anything. For the oven, the temp is way off and you have to have it as hot as it will go and it still takes forever. I will be glad to get rid of this thing.

I always buy the like new for a lesser price and I was definitely not disappointed with this purchase. It’s nice and big and I got it for a steal. It’s a good value for me and my family

This toaster oven/air fryer started out great. And by that, I mean it worked. Which is a pretty low bar for a brand new, never used, appliance. That bar, however quickly became pie in the sky unobtainable for this cheap, poorly designed, and terribly manufactured piece of garbage (literally, because the garbage is where it ended up just SIX MONTHS after purchasing!). As I said, it worked, right out of the box. It turned on, it got hot, it (usually) turned off when the timer was up. Sadly, ALL of these most basic of functions were well beyond the technical abilities of the pitiful excuse for an “Industrial Designer” and the slave labor employing, cost cutting ineptitude of the Third World “Manufacturer” that Black and Decker outsourced this loser to. Within a month, ALL of the controls became as sketchy and unreliable as your sister’s unemployed “drummer” boyfriend. The Temperature selector would occasionally hit our intended target, though not nearly often enough to be considered, by any definition of the word, “accurate”. And that knob eventually (6 months) gave up its valiant struggle with mediocrity, and just stopped trying. The “Timer” never really functioned in the realm of actual “time”. Its range of motion from new, only covered one direction, forward. If you missed your target time for cooking on the first spin, too bad, Einstein, because there’s no going backwards. Time only marches on for this machine. Your two choices are burnt food or skipped meals. I mean, seriously, what knobs only turn in one direction? That seems harder to engineer than just doing it right.
The entire machine just stopped working before the six month anniversary of this bad decision, and this glorious testament to sub standard manufacturing became an oversized place holder on our kitchen counter, wasting more real estate than a Time Share in Syria, while we searched for what is apparently a Holy Grail appliance; a toaster oven that actually does even a small percentage of what the pretty, full color photos on cardboard box it comes in claims it’ll do.

I know. Call me a dreamer.

Added Note: For the adventurous among you that have already purchased this abomination and are currently experiencing its painful inadequacy, do a quick YouTube search for this Black and Decker model and add “troubleshooting” to your search. There are an enormous number of videos of intrepid tinkerers taking their lives in their hands by opening up the case and trying to “fix” the shoddy workmanship found inside. Wires that are only partially connected… or not connected at all, a lack of heat insulation or even basic safety components, wires that glow red hot when the appliance is plugged in, the list of problems seems as long as the component parts listed for this junk in the “manual”. Its an insurance nightmare waiting to happen.
But be forewarned, you can’t “fix” stupid.

This is the third or fourth time I’ve bought this brand and I always get the most updated model. No problems, absolutely worth the price. This toaster oven is a workhorse. We use it every single day. This version has the air fryer and I don’t know how I lived without it.

This is a nice counter top oven. It heats up fast and is easy to clean. The air fryer works well. My only negative thought is the cord is rather short. Would be nice if it was a little longer.
For those who don’t like the fact the top gets hot, you can always place plates on it to warm them up.
All and all it does it’s job and I am happy with it
