" ... The only thing I don't like about this toaster is that the adjustment knobs turn way too easily. ... The lack of resistance for the dials adjustment settings makes an otherwise nice product feel cheap. ... "
" ... Second or third time I used it the buttons stop working. ... "
" ... The bagel button clicks, the light comes on, but both sides of the bagel is toasted, It's a good thing I don't get bagels very often. ... "
" ... Controls are loose and don’t maintain setting. ... "
" ... The button to pop the toast up was hard to push also. ... "
" ... And the Bagel button is straight fraud - it changes nothing and both sides of the bagel are toaster (or, as often as not, burned). ... "
" ... The right hand button has to be pushed down really hard in order for it to engage. ... Both button are flimsy. ... We have since resolved the button problem. ... "

" ... As a matter of fact some don't even glow especially the sections that are close to the riveted holders. ... "
" ... When you pushed one down the other would pop up and then neither would latch. ... "
" ... The knob to put the toast down would not catch and hold. ... "
" ... Most importantly, the metal sides stay very hot long after the toast is done so take caution when you need to move it during or right after you toast. ... "
" ... I only have it and used it for a few mounts, the right lever didn't stay down all the time it pupped back up and yesterday the toaster caught on fire. ... "
" ... I wanted a Cuisinart because our previous 16 year old toaster was a Cuisinart, and until it literally fell apart (handle fell off) it was great. ... "
" ... Large pieces of bread do not fit in the shorter slots and it often smokes. ... "

" ... Many of the radiating heating elements took a long time to glow red, some never did. ... "
" ... The top of this toaster (the entire surface area from the top of the lever/button area and up) gets VERY hot! ... "
" ... Then as heating elements die over time, I can turn it up to maintain that level of heat. ... Overall a decent unit, but it is simply not hot enough. ... "
