BLACK+DECKER Microwave Air Fryer: Two Models and Why Ratings Mislead

BLACK+DECKER is a familiar name on small kitchen appliances. For these two microwaves, though, we found no BLACK+DECKER product page we could read, and we couldn't establish who makes them. Everything below comes from the Amazon listings unless we say otherwise, and each product shows "Seller data only". See how we compare for what that label means.

What are the two models?

What about the ES9P032NA 5-in-1?

This is what most people searching for a BLACK+DECKER air fry microwave mean. Its appeal is the listed 14.5 in depth, which would take up the least counter among our small combos if it holds, plus a budget price class. The 11.3 in turntable as listed would also beat the 10.6 in plate on Sharp's small model.

Size as stated by

Amazon listing. Depth as listed. An excerpt of a third-party manual summary says 15.55 in, so allow for the larger figure.

• Listed at 14.5 in deep, though another source says 15.55 in
• Microwave, air fryer, combi, bake and roast, as listed

• Depth conflict: 14.5 in on the listing, 15.55 in in a third-party manual summary. Plan with the bigger number
• Width and depth appear only in listings, not on a company page we could read
• 900 W microwave

Now the gaps:

• Depth. A third-party manual summary we saw in a search says 15.55 in, not 14.5 in. That is a full inch, on the one number that makes this model special. Check it first.
• Accessories. The listing names a bake tray and two grill racks. A preview of a Spanish manual edition names only a glass tray and turntable ring. We can't tell whether that manual is complete or matches your unit.
• Power figures. That preview also shows 900 W with a microwave input of 1450 W, so the 900 W is an output figure. It lists 11 power levels where the listing says 10.
• Space around it. We found no figures we could trust, so don't assume a blanket rule. Check the manual in the box against our size guide.

The first stop for an owner is the booklet in the box. Our manuals page explains where to look if it has gone missing.

What about the EC942K6CE-SS above the stove?

This one replaces a range hood. At a listed 13.9 in deep it is the shallowest over-the-range unit we have sizes for, which helps in a tight spot. Its inside is the smaller 1.5 cu ft. Installation is the real decision, so read over-the-range installation before buying. Many people buy these from an appliance dealer, and our over-the-range page sets out the alternatives. We haven't checked what commission applies to this listing.

Why do the ratings mislead?

The rating totals on BLACK+DECKER's listings cover more than one product. The figure on the 5-in-1 matches the one on the over-the-range unit and on a plain 1.1 cu ft microwave, which has no air fry mode. So a big number there says little about air frying on this model, or about whether its size is right. Shared totals are common, and you can often spot them by comparing two listings from one brand.

Which one should I buy?

The 5-in-1 suits a shallow counter and a tight budget, if you can confirm the depth and are fine with thin documentation. The over-the-range unit suits someone replacing an existing unit in the same opening, who has compared it with dealer options.

The listings state a one-year warranty. We found no BLACK+DECKER parts list for either model, so ask the seller before you rely on replacement racks.
