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"

PS Shortly after we installed this oven the adjustment knob broke. Thus we have to use a table knife to adjust the toaster each time. In addition to all of the defects, add this nuisance. Grrr!
