Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Less than three months after purchase, this toaster (while being used exactly as specified) started a large fire in our kitchen. All the heating elements on the right side (both slots) channeled into one set of coils (the extreme right) and were so hot (toaster on level 3, not defrost) on a single piece of bread, that the bread started on fire, shooting flames over a foot in the air. It is only by luck that I was nearby, and the toaster was in an open area of the kitchen, that I was able to put the flames out without damage to our kitchen or home. This toaster is dangerously malfunctioning and should be redesigned and taken off the market until fixed. Update: THIS PROBLEM HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED BY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AS OF ONE FULL MONTH POST-FIRE.
