Great little toaster. This really does a great job of grilling the hot dogs, and depending on what heat setting you use (a knob goes from 1-5), you can get them browned or even blackened like you would if you had them over a bonfire or put them on a grill. It has a nice compact design, a basket in the middle holds the hot dogs, easy to pull out so you can wash it afterwards. There is a tray that slides out of the bottom, like most toasters, and you can wash that as well. It seems like a decent amount of juice from the hot dogs will get trapped down there as well as crumbs from the buns.I think it’s a pretty great product overall. I have used it for about a week now, several times, have experienced no issues so far. It works better if you put it on a lower setting, put the hot dogs and buns in together at first- maybe a 3 setting…let it cook, then take out the bun, should be toasted by that point, then crank it up to 5 and cook the hot dogs alone. I like them literally black in parts. What happens is the hot dog tends to plump up, curves a bit closer to the heating element (it literally is the same sort of heating element in a regular toaster), and that tends to get areas of the hot dog browned/blackened. Works really well. I usually get a bit of smoke as the oil drops into the pan below and the hot dog curves toward the heating element, but it’s easy enough to clean up, and it’s way more convenient than waiting for water to boil, cooking, emptying the water, cleaning the pan…and much better tasting than using the microwave to cook them.Some have mentioned issues with ballpark franks or hot dogs that plump up getting stuck in basket. I have not had that issue at all. It comes with a set of metal tongs which you will definitely need to take them out of the basket as it will get super hot after cooking. I used angus beef franks from ball park, they seemed to plump up as normal, did not get stuck in the basket at all.The design is very retro. Just a button to stop the cooking, a thing to press like on any toaster to push the racks down inside the heating element, and a dial that goes from 1 to 5 for temperature control. It’s pretty neat looking overall. I did notice the first two times, it did smoke. The label on the top of the unit says this, and I just ran it twice with nothing in it, and it smoked…has not done the same since. You get a burning plastic smell the first two times as well, but I see no damage to the unit inside or out or any melted plastic. I did notice that the buns will blacken where they hit the metal near the heating element, and honestly I don’t know how you would clean out the burnt bread from that part. I used a wet towel and paper towels, no luck. There’s a little black residue from where the buns hit the wall, but it’s not that big of a deal I don’t figure, and it does not effect any future buns or how they cook or taste. Unit does a good job of toasting the buns throughout, and depending on how long you keep them in there, it will, as mentioned, turn them brown or black on the outer edges that push into the metal inside the unit.A really fun product, very convenient if you eat hot dogs often enough. I would not try anything larger than your average plumped up beef frank. No brats or anything, as they would surely get caught in the basket and rip apart. The basket, I should mention, isn’t the easiest thing to clean either, so some residue, I think, will stay on there for a long while. Nothing gross or anything, just some slight grease, even if you scrub it with something abrasive. Love the unit so far and would totally recommend.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my brother. He took it to work, and all his co-workers now eat hot dogs for lunch. They say that everything works fine.

I bought this to take to a family early Christmas party as a ‘white elephant’ gift which is a wrapped gift valued at a certain price that is set by the family. And you take numbers to draw a gift. And after the gift is opened someone can steal the gift in their turn. This was such a hit it was ‘stolen’ 3x. Everyone wanted it. It’s such a cute gift. The retro look of it In the red is eye catching. And at the price it’s a great value. I will definitely be purchasing this again.

This thing is a ton of fun to use and it’s been a weird conversation starter, but it’s not the easiest to clean. It’s made very well and my family has enjoyed it

I purchased this about three years ago and it was my husbands favorite Christmas gift. I just purchased a replacement because he lost the last one in a move.

Good product BUT if you plan on this being a gift for someone make sure you mark it as a gift so they put it in a box or bag
