On a hot day you'll appreciate the ability to bake, toast, broil and reheat without heating up your kitchen by using your full size oven. At breakfast time you can toast up to 4 slices of bread. For convenience the TRO490W features a 15-minute auto-off bake timer and a bake and toast signal bell. When the door is opened, the dual-position rack advances for easy access.The Black & Decker TRO490W Toast-R-Oven Classic 4-Slice Countertop Oven, White Free Shipping to Connecticut with Amazon.

I have already left a very favorable review for this item. Just FYI...the crumb tray pulls out from under the glass door. If you pull it all the way out, you don't have to turn the appliance upside down. This is a GREAT product, especially for the price. We own 3 of them! One at home, one at Grandma's and one in the RV.
Customer Reviews
Wish there were was a 0 star option - Karen -Bought this toaster specifically because it had hooks to slide the tray in and out (our last toaster had them but they didn't work very well and these seemed better). Got home, opened the box, there are no hooks. So I called customer service and she said "return it to the store, we made a mistake". She said they did not give coupons or gift cards to make up for the error, there was nothing she could do. She was not particularly sympathetic or helpful. When I looked online, it turns out black and decker sold their small appliances to this other company who is clearly very incompetent. I used to really like black and decker but I will not be buying from them ever again.
unit not what's on box - wafmsgof -
I bought this at a big box store thankfully because the 2nd one is going back today. The first one had a broken handle right out of the box. I exchanged it. Now the door flops open and almost broke my plate. The picture on the box and the instructions show hooks that attach to the rack to help it slid out, which I was thinking would slow down the door. My old B&D had a spring loaded door so it didn't flop open.
I called Customer Care. The guy was REALLY nice but said that the redesigned model didn't have the hooks but they were still selling it in the old box with the old instructions. Swell! I don't like the 3 dials. I'd rather have a permanent "toast" setting. I do like the idea of a timer so I don't leave it on bake for days but I don't trust this model particularly based on the other reviews. This one's going back to the store.
Uneven toasting - Sean McClintock - Seattle, WA United States
I have always considered Black & Decker to be a solid, reputable brand. However this toaster oven makes me think twice. Out of the box, it worked for a little while though not ideally. The bread would toast more on the outside edge and less in the middle of the oven. This meant we had to rotate the toast part way through to get it even. We decided to put up with this because, well... the oven was cheap. We got it on sale for half off.
However after a few months of daily use the elements started to degrade. The heating elements don't provide even heat/radiation. You can visibly see that the left side of the element is darker than the right side. Also the top of the bread toasts a lot more than the bottom. Now we have to babysit the toast the entire time and rotate/flip it repeatedly.
You get what you pay for I guess.
