 Glad I bought this one May 15, 2008
I was a little leary of paying over $100 for a toaster oven, but I'd done a bit of research online, and liked what I'd read about this Krups FBC1. I'm SO glad I went ahead and got this. It works beautifully - heats up very quickly, easy to use, and all the functions (toaster, broiler, bake) work well. If you toast 4 or more slices at once, you may see a bit of steam emanate for a few seconds, but I think that's just from built up condensation. My kids use it to heat their after-school snacks, so you know it's easy to use. I like the 4-position rack system and the chart showing which level to put the rack at depending on what you're cooking and what method you're using. It's digital which makes it very easy to switch temperature and/or cooking time while it's in use. And it comes with a handy little utensil you can use to hook onto the rack and pull it out to retrieve your food. I wish it came in white, but that's a minor detail. I'm very happy with this purchase!

 Too much money for it to break on you Jan 23, 2008
My husband bought this product becuase he thought Krups was a good name. He spent lots of money on it thinking it would last. Wrong! The springs broke on the door and it wouldn't stay shut, then it just stopped working. A lot of money for a piece of crap!
Now this is more like it... Dec 23, 2007
I've owned a few toaster ovens over the years and this is a very well designed and just all around great toaster oven. Plenty of room and I like how it's easy to use, easy to set time and temperature. Heats up quickly and I like the dual, upper/lower heating method.
The default settings make it easy to get started. The toast feature makes it easy to either quickly make toast or just warm up frozen waffles. I use the default 4 for toast, 3 for frozen waffles, and 1 or 2 to warm up a biscuit or two. No more fumbling around with a dial to try and get it in between markings...
It has a longer than usual 90 minute timer and it shuts off automatically when it's done with five chimes, just great. Looks great too!

 Nice toaster oven Nov 01, 2007
This is a nice toaster oven - it is roomy inside, the controls are easy to learn and use, and it heats evenly. It takes longer to toast bread than I would like, but overall it is nicer than other toaster ovens I have used. The instruction manual says to turn on the oven for 15 minutes to burn off any residue (the smell people complain about) before cooking any food. I did this, and had no subsequent problems with chemical odors.

Outstanding, with only little room for improvement Aug 17, 2007
My fiancee laughs because I can't make a trip to the fridge without research. So graduating from a low-end B&D, I first came up with a short list of four toasterovens. After some more research and print-outs (waiters at our table quipping "are we in the market for a toaster oven?") we finally picked the FBC1, despite some hesitation on my fiancee's part if we really needed a kitchen device competing in size with our Isomac espresso maker (...well, close).
Resumee after one month's use:
+ oven heat-up time is neglegible, it's that fast
+ if you've worked in a restaurant kitchen, you've worked with a salamander. The Krups is probably as close as a consumer version gets, including quartz lamps and two broil settings. This thing cranks out serious heat when you need it
+ thermostat measures the temps inside the oven
+ swallows a 9x9 pyrex pan - I was baffled
+ good results as well in toaster-function
+ display illumination goes off after use, saving power (LCD itself stays on)
- measure your counter before you buy; it's not exactly petite (though not a hog either)
- an optional under-the-counter mount would be great
- controls are ok for digital, but take a few times to get used to. My pref (and the only improvement I'd suggest) would be digital settings controlled by turn-knobs.
Would we buy the FBC1 again if it took off into outer space? In a heartbeat, without any further research.
