I don't, but CI did a test of toaster oven/convection, here's the BD review
Looks like a different model number, wonder if they improved your later model: (these reviews are from 2011)
Product name:Black & Decker Digital Convection Oven
Manufacturer:Black & Decker
Model Number:CTO6305
Recommendation Status:Recommended with Reservations
Testers' Comments:
This ovenfs performance was acceptable but a little uneven. Its elements cycled far lower when we set it for 350 degrees. Cookies and chicken browned unevenly, though mac and cheese and pizza were fine; toast was terrific with one slice but a little patchy in multiple batches.

They liked this one--as best value (their fave was $249--pricey!)
Product name:Hamilton Beach Set & Forget Toaster Oven with Convection Cooking
Manufacturer:Hamilton Beach
Model Number:31230
Recommendation Status:Recommended
Testers' Comments:
Clearly designed control buttons, a helpful electronic display, and an easy-to-understand manual made using this oven a snap. Not quite as accurate as our winner, it still produced golden-brown toast and crisp-skinned roast chicken. Pizza and cookies baked a tiny bit unevenly. We liked its meat probe.
Cooking ★★ Accuracy ★★ Toasting ★★★

I have the Black & Decker CTO7100B noted on the same page. It has a rotisserie
which I've never used but which my friends just love for chickens. I got it on sale for $69 and it's noted as the same base price as the one you are looking at. Seems expensive for a US item. I noticed some people saying that it was $50 at Wally World. What the heck is Wally World??
Anyway, I haven't had any problems with it in 2 years or more.
I am surprised by the fluctuations in heat. Whereas a big oven might drop 20 degrees to maintain temp, this one drops about 50-60. But that said, I haven't noticed any uneven baking.
Many years ago I had one with a continuous clean interior. It lasted for decades. In fact it never did die. I loved that interior as it always looked clean. This one never does.

My friend just remodeled his kitchen and installed a microwave/convection oven. Have you seen it?
He has a massive 6 burner range/oven, then along the opposite wall is the microwave/convection oven gizmo. He said there was one in the house when he bought it (previous owners had it installed) and loved it. It was a 'must have' when he remodeled the kitchen again.
