#ad · Prices pulled live from the Amazon Product API, last checked Aug 8, 2026. Where we have no verified live price we show none — we would rather leave a gap than print a number that has gone stale. The wattage column is what the manufacturer publishes; “not published” means exactly that, and we have not estimated one. Scores are ours, compiled from published specifications, and are not test results.

Why a $65 oven leads on documentation

Almost nothing at this price tells you what it draws. BLACK+DECKER does: the TO1785SG's own product page publishes 1,150 watts at 120 volts, a four-slice and 9-inch-pizza capacity, exact dimensions of 8.31 by 11.22 by 11.54 inches, and a two-year limited warranty. That is a more complete specification than several ovens on this site costing three hundred dollars, and it is the entire reason a sixty-five-dollar toaster oven earns a full review here. On a site that scores documentation as one of five metrics, this oven scores where the premium tier usually does.

What 1,150 watts actually means

It is the honest trade at the budget end, and it cuts both ways. 1,150 watts draws about nine and a half amps, which leaves real headroom on a shared 15-amp kitchen circuit — you can run it alongside a kettle without tripping the breaker, which an 1,800-watt oven will not reliably allow. But less power means longer to preheat and longer to cook, so a cheaper hour can still be a more expensive meal. It is genuinely the cheapest checkable running cost on the site; we cost 1,150 W against 1,800 W in full.

The other honest limit: no fan

“Natural convection” is doing marketing work here. It means the air moves because it is hot and rises, not because a fan pushes it — so this oven does not air fry and heats less evenly than a true convection model. If crisping and even roasting matter to you, that is the line to read twice. Four slices is also the honest capacity ceiling; no amount of preset labeling moves it, and this SKU keeps the labeling minimal anyway.

Who should buy it

One or two people who want a genuinely cheap oven, value being able to look up exactly what they bought, and mostly toast, reheat and bake small. It is the best-documented pick in the budget tier, and the documentation is not a gimmick — it is the difference between a number you can check against your own electricity bill and a number nobody will tell you. If you need a fan or more than four slices, spend up; if you do not, this is as much oven as the money can honestly buy.

What it gets right

BLACK+DECKER publishes wattage, voltage, capacity, dimensions and warranty for a sixty-five-dollar oven — better documentation than most of the premium tier
1,150 W draws about nine and a half amps, which leaves real headroom on a shared 15-amp kitchen circuit
Cheapest genuinely checkable running cost on this site

What it doesn't

1,150 W takes noticeably longer to preheat than 1,800 W, so a cheaper hour can still be a more expensive meal
Natural convection means no fan — the air moves because it is hot, not because something pushes it
Four slices is the honest ceiling

What it costs to run

About 21.7¢ an hour at full draw, or $39.52 a year at 30 minutes a day, 365 days a year and 18.83¢ per kWh.

1,150 W ÷ 1000 × 182.5 h × 18.83¢ = $39.52

1150 W at 120 V, published by BLACK+DECKER on its own product page along with the capacity, dimensions and warranty term. This is an upper bound: the elements cycle off once the cavity is at temperature, and no manufacturer publishes a duty cycle, so we compute at full rated draw rather than invent a correction factor. The full method is published.

Skip this if…

…you cook for more than two, or you want a fan. 'Natural convection' means there isn't one, and that phrasing does more work in the marketing than it does in the oven.

How we picked

Ovens we claim to have cooked in: 0

Everyone in this category tells you they roasted forty chickens. We have roasted none, and we say so. Here is what we do instead: read the manufacturer's manual and spec sheet, record the published wattage, interior volume, temperature range and warranty term, work out what the oven costs to run for an hour and for a year, show the arithmetic so you can redo it with your own electricity rate, and cite all of it. Where a brand publishes no wattage, we print no running cost rather than borrowing a number from a similar model. Prices come live from Amazon's API and disappear rather than go stale.

The scores above are judgments from that documented research — not test results. One of the five metrics is Documentation: whether the manufacturer will tell you what its oven draws at all. The full rubric, including what disqualifies an oven, is published in full.

Questions

Frequently asked

How many watts is the BLACK+DECKER TO1785SG?

1,150 watts at 120 volts, published by BLACK+DECKER on its own product page alongside the capacity, dimensions and warranty. That is about nine and a half amps, which leaves headroom on a shared 15-amp kitchen circuit that an 1,800-watt oven does not.

Does the BLACK+DECKER TO1785SG air fry?

No -- it uses natural convection, which means there is no fan; the air moves only because it is hot. Air frying and even roasting both depend on a fan, so if you want those, you need a true convection model. We explain the difference here.
