ran it the first time with nothing in it as instructed and it was pretty smelly, but no bad odors after that.
love this toaster, very cool to look at and after using it every day for two months we have had nothing but perfect bagels, muffins and toast.
it toasts frozen waffles wonderfully!
does a great job on english muffins.
the toasting time from frozen to toast is way too long, even longer than my old cuisinart toaster with one long slot that actually fits big homemade slices.
so far we have only used it for home made bread and premade waffles and it has toasted evenly.
in fact, this is the best toast i have had in a long time.
the bread slots adjust for the thickness of the bread, bagels, muffins, etc.
this one does a great job of toasting and the best thing is that it has a cancel button on its front, allowing you to stop toasting immediately, in case you over adjusted the time.
my toast comes out even every time.
the quick service, the wide range of products available, and ease of shopping online made our choice of not only this particular product right, but the choice of amazon.com right as well.
this makes great toast, just how i like it every time.
i haven't owned a regular toaster in a long time, but wanting more counter space, i decided to go from a toaster oven (which i only used for toasting purposes) to a regular toaster.
also, works quickly and much better than my old toaster.
pros: small footprint, toasts quickly, wide slots for bagels
it is efficient on counter space and really saves time preparing toast for a family!
it toasts evenly on both sides and will hold their frozen waffles which they love to eat each morning.
pros: cool touch, fast, durable, easy to clean
i have to put it on the halfway setting to lightly toast a pop-tart...
the left side started smoking the first time i used it.
it doesn't have a quick release which i'll get used to now that i know it doing what it's supposed to.
it doesn't have a quick release which i'm getting used to very quickly, now that i know it doing what it's supposed to every time.
pros: cheap cons: uneven toasting, hot to the touch, slow--slow--slow
when toasting frozen pastry it takes 2 times...not even, toast works great.
this is a product designed to compete with the gold standard of toasters - the dualit, which sells for three times the price.
the setting it does has, just extends the toasting time for the bagels.
rowan - the first time used the 'carriage lever would not lock down`.
