Apparently works like new
Seems to work flawlessly, for a lot less money than buying new. Of course, you never really know about safety equipment until you need it. So if you're a "belt and suspenders" type, you might want to buy a new one. But I'm happy with my purchase.

More than a toaster oven
2 of 2 found this helpful My old Black & Decker toaster oven gave up the ghost recently after about 25 years of dedicated service. Now that I'm 25 years older, I figured I'd splurge a bit and get a fancier replacement; if I don't cook too much artery-clogging food in it, I might enjoy the new one another 25 years. These days, typical upgrades to the basic toaster oven include broiling/grilling, convection heating (which simply means a fan blows the hot air around inside the oven, to heat food faster and more evenly), easy-clean interior with easily removed crumb tray, a warming tray on top, electronic controls instead of mechanical ones, a defrost setting, and preprogrammed cooking for specific foods (e.g., a setting for pizza).
Several online reviews rated the Krups FBC2 highly, particularly its general build quality and how well it makes toast. The FBC2 has *all* of the features above, except for the warming tray and preprogrammed cooking settings. So I bought one.
Initial impressions: This thing is huge and built like a brick, uh, toaster oven. In fact, it's a lot bigger than a basic toaster oven, so check your space before you buy one. It has a solid, quality look and feel. The electronic controls are easy to use, the LCD display easy to read. It heats up fast, and the outside gets plenty hot too (true of most toaster ovens). It is as quiet as most of its toaster oven bretheren in normal use, although the fan is fairly noisy in defrosting and convection heating modes. All cooking is timed, so you can't leave it on all day by mistake. Opening the door does not turn off the heat, as it does with some other models. The "done" signal bell is loud but not obnoxious. The FBC2 comes with a baking tray, a grilling/broiling insert, and 2 oven racks.
Although I bought the Krups FBC2 mainly for toasting and for reheating food (like pizza) that doesn't fare well in the microwave, this unit could really take the place of a full size oven for one or two people. It can easily accommodate a baked or grilled main course, has loads of room to warm up bread or rolls, and is the perfect thing to top-brown a cheese dish or a dessert. The only drawbacks I see are its heft, cost, and maybe the fan noise: This is more than a toaster oven, and you may not need this much appliance on your countertop. If you do, it's an excellent choice.
