Our take
Choose TO1420B for manual Toast, Bake, or Broil when a grounded three-prong outlet works and you can allow rear heat-flow space. Its numeric electrical rating, pizza fit, and exterior dimensions are unknown.
For buyers who want basic Toast/Bake/Broil procedures and a grounded three-prong outlet without a numeric power threshold..
Not for a numeric voltage, wattage, or frequency requirement; a four-slice minimum; a known pizza size; or a 60-minute automatic timer.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The exact B-model book names Toast, Bake, and Broil for household use.
- It describes a grounded three-prong plug and a 150–450°F Bake range.
- The manual explains Toast shade, timer, preheat, and Broil pan procedures.
What to weigh up
- No voltage, wattage, or frequency is printed.
- The manual does not state a slice count, pizza diameter, or pan measurement.
- Bake and Broil use Stay On for work beyond the 30-minute timed period.

What the features mean for you
A basic three-mode household oven
The BLACK+DECKER TO1420B is a household toaster oven with three documented jobs: Toast, Bake, and Broil. Its exact-model Use and Care Book describes a grounded plug for a three-prong outlet and a two-year limited warranty for original U.S. and Canada purchases. That supports the general household context, but the book does not state numeric voltage, wattage, or frequency. Check the unit nameplate if a particular electrical rating is necessary before selecting it.
Toast uses a shade and timer routine
The manual says no preheat is needed for Toast. Set the temperature selector to Toast, place bread or a bagel on the slide rack, and use the shared Toast/Timer knob to choose a shade. The dial passes ten before turning back to the selected interval. The guide describes light, medium, and dark preferences and says the oven signals and turns itself off at the end. It does not give a maximum number of slices or guarantee that every bread shape will fit.
Bake and Broil have their own setup
Bake is specified from 150°F to 450°F and calls for at least ten minutes of preheating. Broil also calls for ten minutes, with the bake pan below the slide rack to catch drippings. For both the pan and food, the manual says to maintain at least one and a half inches from the upper heating elements. It offers pan and rack arrangement examples but no measured cavity, pizza diameter, or general pan footprint. Compare a particular dish with the actual appliance rather than inferring fit from the model name.
The timer and rear airflow matter
The shared Toast/Timer knob has a thirty-minute timed period and a Stay On choice. For Bake or Broil beyond thirty minutes, the book directs the user to Stay On and a separate kitchen timer. That is not the same as an automatic hour-long cycle. The guide asks the owner to leave enough space behind the oven for heat flow without naming a distance. It also says not to cover the appliance or place it against flammable material. The review therefore leaves numerical external clearance unknown rather than inventing a measurement.
Cleaning and seller details remain separate
The manual describes a slide rack that can be washed in soapy water or a dishwasher, a pan to clean by hand, and a swing-down crumb tray for wiping. Those instructions explain routine maintenance, but do not establish what a current seller includes in the box. The manual is specific to TO1420B and should not inherit facts from the separate TO1420BC booklet. It also does not confirm the historical four-slice or Black title clues, the old ASIN's current offer, or exact outside dimensions.
Who should choose TO1420B
TO1420B suits a buyer who wants familiar Toast, Bake, and Broil procedures, a grounded three-prong connection, and an adjustable shade routine, and who accepts a half-hour timer or manual timing beyond it. Choose another model if the deciding need is a confirmed slice maximum, pizza diameter, exterior footprint, exact electrical rating, or longer automatic timer. The tagged model search lets shoppers inspect listings without implying that historical ASIN B003BECZP0 identifies today's offer. This is document-based analysis, not a hands-on result.
What else to compare
Choose a model with a documented pizza size if food fit is essential, or a 60-minute automatic timer if longer unattended timing is a requirement.
Before you buy
Does Toast need preheating?
No. The exact TO1420B manual says Toast needs no preheat and uses the shared knob for the shade and timed cycle.
What Bake temperature range is stated?
The guide gives a 150–450°F Bake range and recommends at least ten minutes of preheating.
Can the timer automatically run for an hour?
No. The manual describes a thirty-minute timed period and directs longer Bake or Broil work to Stay On with a separate timer.
Does the manual confirm the old four-slice listing?
No. It gives no slice maximum or pizza diameter and does not map the historical ASIN to a current offer.

The decision
TO1420B is a practical basic-mode candidate when grounded power and the source-described routine fit; keep its capacity and numeric line rating unknown.
