Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups FBB2 Convection Digital Convection Toaster Oven
Customer Review: First big disappointment from KRUPS
Summary: 1 Stars
We have had a similar model of this toaster oven (with similar digital controls) for more than a year (but less than two years)and now have really become disappointed in its quality and the poor product support coming from KRUPS. This is really too bad, as we have several other KRUPS kitchen appliances that we also use frequently and love, among them an Espresso Machine (our second one as we wore out the first one after four or five years) and a Coffee Bean Grinder.The overall product functions and performance of this toaster/oven are outstanding, yet the simple things, namely all of the plastic membranes over the control buttons have cracked! We have a Toshiba Microwave in our kitchen that is 17 years old with plastic membranes over its control buttons and they are still in near original condition...I'm not even sure whether this might be a safety issue since moisture and liquids can now get into the controls. (As a much more minor negative on this product, we also noticed right after buying the oven that the LED display fogs up a bit when you toast anything with some moisture in it - we actually took back our first KRUPS oven believing this was a product defect but found it occurred on the replacement oven and have just lived with that quirk).
To make things even worse, we have now been told by Krups (both their North American headquarters and their closest authorized service (in San Francisco) that KRUPS offers no parts for repairing this toaster and that our best plan should be to buy a new one. We are stunned. This product has seen only typical household use by two adults and we paid three to four times more for a KRUPS product than other similar toaster/ovens because we believed in the KRUPS brand.
Description of Krups FBB2 Convection Digital Convection Toaster Oven
This Convection Digital Toaster oven uses convection heating, a method preferred by bakers, which circulates the heat around food to produce more even cooking and browning in a shorter time period and more delicious results. The Krups FBC21145 is a wonderful countertop appliance for cooking meals for two and, once you begin using it, you may never need to turn on your conventional oven again.The Convection Digital oven is a wonderful countertop appliance for cooking meals for two and, once you begin using it, you may never need to turn on your conventional oven again. This toaster oven uses convection heating, a method preferred by bakers, which circulates the heat around food to produce more even cooking and browning in a shorter time period and more delicious results. This oven, of course, has a toasting function for bread and bagels with an electronic touchpad to set the level of browning to either light, medium, or dark. However, it also has the capacity to cook just about any oven-prepared meal you can think of. The Convection Digital bakes at temperature settings between 100 and 475 degrees F and temperatures and cook times are easy to program from the appliance?s electronic control panel. The oven can accommodate a pair of stuffed chicken breasts, two lamb chops, or a small loaf pan of raisin bread and even has a broil setting (500 degrees F) for melting cheese on miniature pizzas or open-faced sandwiches and for searing juicy sausages or hamburgers. The broil setting heats up in just 5 minutes so you can switch it on if you?d simply like to heat the oven up quickly. For safety, the oven automatically shuts off when the electronic timer reaches its set cooking time and the LED returns to displaying the current time. The Convection Digital has a nonstick interior for quick cleaning and comes with an additional baking/broiling tray. Krups covers this convection oven under a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
