THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

TRO390W is a compact manual-control option for buyers who value a separately described Toast cycle and can live without published food-fit dimensions. Its Toast shutoff should not be generalized to Bake or Broil.

Consider it for

For a buyer who wants straightforward Toast, Bake, and Broil controls and does not need a published food-fit size or numeric exterior clearance..

Look elsewhere if

Not for buyers who require Air Fry, convection, a verified pizza diameter or slice count, numeric external clearance, or one automatic shutoff rule for every cooking mode.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • The model guide names TRO390W and documents Toast, Bake, and Broil.
  • Toast uses a separate Light/Medium/Dark control with an end bell and automatic shutoff.
  • The manual lists 120 V / 60 Hz / 1,200 W household use and inside dimensions.

What to weigh up

  • Bake uses a 1–15-minute timer or Stay On and calls for manual Off when finished.
  • Broil preheat directions conflict between the main instructions and chart.
  • No pizza fit, slice maximum, outside dimensions, or numeric counter clearance is published.

What the features mean for you

A precise identity with one row-level conflict

The BLACK+DECKER/Applica Use and Care Book lists both TRO390B and TRO390W and calls the family a Toast-R-Oven countertop oven and broiler. That supports using the shared operating guide for the exact W code, while the frozen row's structured brand field says BUNN. The saved review keeps that metadata conflict visible rather than treating the historical seller record as proof of a present listing. The W suffix also does not establish the finish by itself. This distinction matters when searching: the tagged destination uses the exact TRO390W model code and does not connect either historical ASIN to a current seller offer.

Toast has its own shade and shutoff routine

The guide documents Toast, Bake, and Broil, with a separate Toast Shade control marked Light, Medium, and Dark. For Toast, it says to use the bottom rack without preheating; the cycle rings and shuts off automatically. If the door is opened, the shade selector remains active, so the manual says to turn it Off when stopping Toast early. That is a useful control difference for a household that wants a dedicated bread routine. The manual does not give a slice maximum or a pizza diameter, so toast-specific convenience should not be mistaken for a quantified capacity claim.

Bake and Broil need more user attention

Bake has a five-minute preheat recommendation and a timer from one to fifteen minutes, with Stay On for untimed cooking. The guide directs the user to turn the temperature dial Off when baking ends, so its Toast auto-shutoff does not carry over to Bake. Broil uses the top element and upper rack, with a one-and-a-half-inch gap above the food or container. The main Broil instructions call for five minutes of preheating, while the Broiling Guide says not to preheat. Keep that inconsistency unresolved and follow the exact instructions for the task rather than assuming a single settled Broil sequence.

Internal dimensions do not solve counter fit

The manual lists inside measurements of 12 by 11 by 5.5 inches, but it does not identify the axes. It also says not to place the oven under cabinets or too close to a wall, without giving a numeric external clearance. That helps explain why a known interior number cannot answer whether the appliance fits beneath a specific shelf or how much air the counter needs. The guide lists a rack, pan, and crumb tray, but those parts do not confirm what an old seller package contained. Check the actual installation space separately and do not treat the internal broiling gap as an exterior clearance measurement.

Power is documented, food fit is not

The electrical section states 120 V, 60 Hz, and 1,200 W and specifies a grounded three-prong household outlet. Those details are useful when a buyer needs a documented power basis. The same source does not establish the full thermostat span, slice capacity, pizza diameter, exterior footprint, or numeric counter clearance. Its separated Toast, Bake, and Broil controls are the strongest reason to consider the TRO390W, while the Broil preheat disagreement and missing food-fit measures are reasons to choose another model when those details are required. This review is based on the manual and makes no hands-on or current-offer claim.

What else to compare

Choose a model with a published pizza diameter or external size when those fit questions are essential; this manual does not provide them.

Before you buy

Does Toast shut the oven off automatically?

The guide says the Toast cycle rings and shuts off. Bake and Broil use separate directions and should not inherit that statement.

Does the manual say how many slices fit?

No. It names Toast but gives no slice maximum, pizza diameter, or general measured food-fit chart.

Does the guide give one clear Broil preheat instruction?

No. The main Broil directions call for preheating, while the Broiling Guide says not to preheat.
