Krups FBC2 Convection Toaster Oven
This product has received very mixed reactions. On one hand, there have been reports of this model’s plastic hinges being defective and coming off easily. There have also been complaints about the toaster suddenly turning on and heating without human intervention, and at its worst, there have also been complaints about the unit suddenly exploding. However, those who have gotten non-defective units are very satisfied and happy with the toaster’s performance. This has led me to conclude that while this may be a good product with great features, however, the manufacturer might not be following strict quality control, so there are products out there with hidden time bombs. The question therefore is if you want to risk it?
Advantages
- The toaster’s digital controls are very easy to use and figure out. It’s good for users of any level of tech-savvy.
- Very satisfactory performance for a wide variety of uses: baking, toasting, broiling and convection cooking.
Disadvantages
- A lot of people have reported, on Amazon and other sites, that they've received duds. There have been very wide and varied reports ranging from defective hinges, to the toaster turning on by itself, to actual reports of the toaster suddenly exploding.
- Quite expensive, considering the risk you might be taking of of getting one with a problem. Estimated retail price of $150, more or less. What if you got one of the defective products?
