The Black & Decker TROS1500 SpaceMaker Traditional Toaster Oven is, as the name would suggest, is a compact oven that doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but gets the job done nonetheless. It is an under the cabinet toaster oven, which is an amazing space saver if your kitchen is suited for installation of an under the cabinet oven. Let's go over the stats first:

Dimensions - 10.6 x 11.4 x 18.1 Weight - 15 pounds Slice Capacity - 4 slices Settings - Toast, bake, keep-warm Convection - No.

The TROS1500 comes in both white or black; both models looking very nice, although I personally prefer the white model as it looks better in my kitchen. The biggest draw to the SpaceMakerBlack & Decker TROS1500 SpaceMaker Traditional Toaster Oven line of toaster ovens is the size; they're meant to be small and compact, and installs under your cabinet or can be used on the counter like a standard toaster oven.

Under the Cabinet Installation

The under the cabinet installation of the TROS1500 SpaceMaker was tricky at first, I will admit. I had to get my husband to help me out with it. I would strongly recommend reading the instructions throughly if you plan on installing it under your counter. If you're technically inclined you may be able to figure it out yourself, but I'd still recommend taking a quick read through of the directions. It also mayhelp to have an extra set on hands to help, but it's not necessary.

The under the cabinet installation requires a cabinet with a minimum depth of 12″ - it will not fit if it doesn't have at least this amount of clearance. Please take time to measure your cabinet before buying this unit.

The heating elements of the TROS1500 are quite powerful, and when you're first using it, I would recommend keeping an eye on the cooking/toasting so you can get an idea of how quickly it cooks. It is quite a powerful little unit for its size, so you might be surprised. The toasting and cooking work quite well; my toast came out nicely toasted, and there were no complaints from me.

Is the Black & Decker TROS1500 SpaceMaker A Worthy Buy?
