burning down the house, electrical fire - Mark in Wichita - Wichita, KS
Had a serious wake up call this morning. At 6:30am, was awakened by smoke detectors going off. Followed the heavy smoke to the kitchen where our toaster was in full flames, most of the plastic was burning, the cabinets were very hot and dense electrical smell. Was able to unplug the toaster, cord falling apart in my hand, and put the fire out. Counter was ruined, as well as part of the cabinet. No one was around or up at that time. From what I can determine, the toaster just caught flames due to an electrical short in the controls. I am glas I did not go anywhere for the holiday weekend, or I would have come home to a burned out apt. I do not recommend this toaster unless you wish to set fire to the place.

Avoid buying this toaster at any cost. Use a campfire if you must or a blowtorch for toasting your bread or bagels. This unit is a P-O-S!!! and I ain't talkin' sassafrass either. The spring is so weak that after three months, it hasn't the strength to lift a bagel out of it's slot. As an added feature, your toast comes out burned on the bottom half and undone on the top half. It's great for making stale bread out of fresh, for bread crumbs though. If you want to invest your money in a country that has avowed our destruction, buy one of these pieces of garbage. Just make sure you have P-L-E-N-T-Y of fire insurance.
