When I saw this product I had to have it. This is the most amazing thing since hot water as far as I am concerned. I got it the day after I ordered it. After reading all the negative reviews I could find here is how I approached using the product.
1) Smokes during first few uses-I turned the knob to 5 and let it perform a burn-in cycle with nothing in it. Instructions say to not operate without at least 1 hotdog and bun. But in my opinion if it can't survive 1 cycle it would need to be returned as POS. Burn-in worked fine and it did smoke like a bingo player at first, then it stopped. Subsequent uses were smoke free with no odor/taste effect on the food.
2) Bun burning along edges-Yes it burned the buns along the edge and was heavier from the top of the toaster down. But after a bit of carbon buildup on the inside it no longer burns the bun and I do cook on number 5. The buns need to be regular sized. I also noticed that most buns, I tried 3 brands, are baked/sliced in such a way that one end is more tapered and I place them into the toaster tapered end up.
3) Hotdog expands in holder and is hard to get out-Yes it does on fat hotdogs. Also over cooking causes the hotdogs to split as I discovered when working out the best cook setting. Skinny ones like Oscar Mayer or Nathans or Hebrew National have no problem. I tried 6 different brands all beef brands including Ball Park and Bar S and some generic brand. The BallPark were the worst case of the bubch but I got them out without too much carnage. Overall they all cooked great at setting of 5. I prefer my hotdogs either hot or cold but not in between.
4) Cheaply made with plastic-It was only $20. However the plastic housing makes it cool to the touch. Key points are it works very well and is easy to clean up.
In conclusion, I think my organs are failing from all the hotdogs I've eaten the last couple of weeks. Everyone who sees the toaster has a big inner child smile moment and has to try it. It works as advertised. It's inexpensive and its color matches my coffee maker.

Works great. Will cook hot dogs from done, to burnt! Don't believe the negative reviews, this toaster is a must have. It toasts the buns evenly on one side(the side which touches the hot dog)and it does so very quickly and without making a mess!

I'm loving my new gadget! My kitchen is done in a retro diner style and this fits in perfectly. I had read some of the other reviews before I purchased this and I can agree only with the excellant reviews. This is great for days I don't want to fire up our huge outdoor gas grill or when my daughter has a house full of her friends over. They love this as much as I do. Its something they can do themselves and have a ball cooking. Clean-up is a breeze. The crumb catcher/drip tray is a huge help. I have discovered that if I poke the dogs with a fork a couple of time the do not swell if I want to cook them more than once. Thank you AMAZON for another homerun!!!

Unique hot dog toaster
I love this! It works well. It is a quick way to cook hot dogs and toast the buns. I also bought one for my grandchildren. They can make their own hot dogs with it.

Gave as a gift
I gave one to my brother, and I also gave one to my nephew. I haven't heard back from my brother about his, but my nephew says the one he has is great and that he uses it often.

HOT DIGGITY DOG
This thing is the bomb. I suggest buying the thinner dogs. You have to do the buns and the dogs twice flipping them for them to come out perfect. I love it buy it!

Don't freak out when you first use it
Like it states, when you first use it there will be a burning smell. It's very strong, but don't worry. After using it several times, the burning smell goes away. Read more
