| "Not for the faint of heart" |
Date: 3/20/2006 |
"I've used this mount since I moved into my house in 1990. It's a little ugly, but it has worked perfectly. Actually, I give the mount 4 stars. But, I have to average in the Black & Decker oven that fits it, and that brings it down to about 2 stars. They seem to last a few years, but I have had three literally go up in flames.
A couple of weeks ago, after it toasted some bread, I went into another room to eat. A few minutes later the smoke alarm went off. Although the control was shut off, the oven had shorted inside and continued to cook, until it was in flames. Once I unpluged it, the flames immediately died down to a small flame, but I had to use a wet towel to get it into the sink. The hood did completely protect my cabinet.
I have a small kitchen, and this is the only mountable toaster oven. I am actually considering another one! I just have be certain to check to see that it is off before leaving the house or going to bed, which I should do anyway.
This model of B&D toaster is not for the faint of heart. I believe it is likely to catch fire eventually, and if you panic, you might lose your house. (In fact, I think they have discontinued the mounts and this toaster.)"
