" ... Here is where it falls short. ... "
" ... come with a den on the top, and a part in one chamber fell off. ... "
" ... Doesn’t fit well ... "
" ... The handle will not stay on the on position. ... "
" ... The bun slots are too tight and will BLACKEN the edges of the bun, then will burn the bun onto the metal inside the toaster, which is almost impossible to clean off in a comfortable or easy manner. ... Careful with hotdogs that plumpen up or blister, i've had several different types of hotdogs get stuck coming out of the holder. ... Overall this product could be AMAZING if they simply widened the bun slots by a half inch, and the hot dog holders by 3mm. ... "
" ... Tried it, only the smallest bun fit in and also may need to be pushed and pressed in holes. ... "
" ... The buns do not fit!! ... "
" ... Not sure what bun fits in this but my store brand ones do not and get stuck in it and burn. ... "
