I purchased this toaster a few weeks ago. Now all outer markings are worn off, can't tell what setting you are on. Very disapointed, now I have to buy a new toaster with settings marked and that will not wear off.
We bought this today, 2/5/12. The Cancel light does not work. More importantly, The toasts do not pop up when done. Of course, the cancel button works when it is pressed, but perhaps after the bread is burnt. But the user has to watch very carefully, since the automatic pop up is not effective. Otherwise, I wonder if there perhaps may be a fire caused.
The numbers on the toast shade selector dial began to wear off as soon as we used it and within a few months disappeared all together. We don't even use the toaster very often but now we have to guess at what it is set on when we make toast or heat up a waffle or anything. this some times results in burnt food.
this toaster is worthless because you can set the dial and put the bread in and it will not toast the first time you have to do it again and then it gets hot that time and then your toast is burnt.i will not buy another one....
What appeared as a decent toaster turned out to malfunction after 3 months. The outer sides of the toaster stopped toasting, leaving me to turn the bread around in order to have both sides of it toasted. Disappointed.
