It gets warm to the touch, but not hot to where it burns you. This has been the best toaster I have ever owned. It is worth spending the extra few bucks for it.

Yes the sides of the toaster does get hot. It is not to bad. We love the toaster and would purchase again.

The sides get very warm, but we've never had a problem. The top gets very hot and the lifter doesn't push smaller pieces of toast up, so we've had a few burns getting toast out. I got so tired of it that we now keep tongs by the toaster to pull the bread out.

I quit using this toaster and bought a $13.00 GE toaster,which will toast bread just as good as the waring toaster.

The sides warm up, but not to the point where they are uncomfortable to the touch. As with any toaster, the top edges and the top can get hot enough to burn.

Not sure used it only twice, but the sides are made of very thin metal though

Well, honestly, I've never deliberately touched the sides during use. That said, I can tell you that nobody in my family has ever complained about being burned by this toaster. In fact, we use it often, like it, and I do recommend it. I hope this will help you make an informed decision.

Yes, it is. I don't make a lot of toast, maybe four slices at the most when I am cooking. I like to keep my toaster in the cupboard, and I usually put it back after I'm finished cooking. It's never felt too "hot" to me.

I find that the top of the toaster gets hot enough that I need to pull my hands away immediately. I fear it could burn me or a child if touched long enough. Could my toaster be defective or is this normal? Past Cuisinart never got hot on exterior.

No. IT is a terrible product.Things get stuck in it, and because of the interior design it is impossible to remove items. I've even had to resort to turning the toaster upside down and using a knife. Toast ends up either being dug out in pieces or falls to the bottom where it is stuck for ever. Even when it does manage to toast a piece of bread and the bread can be taken out the toasting is uneven, dark or burned edges, with middle not toasted. Don't buy it.

No, I have not had a problem with the body of the toaster getting hot. The bread pops up and if you want to check it early, it has a "look and see" button. No problem with overheating at all!

The instructions say it toasts on the cut sides (toward the middle) and warms on the outsides. Haven't proven this yet as I like the outside a little toasty too.

Yes, but the top has a very even toasted look while the bottom has toasted lines. Still a good toasting on both sides. That was the problem with our old one, we had to manually flip the bread.

Almost all toasters, including all the ones I have had through the years, remain very, very hot to the touch on top immediately after shut-off. This is quite normal. You need to wait ten minutes before safely touching the top.

No.But just as an update I will tell you I still love my toaster!It is used for toast every day and eggs & toast a few times a week. I have eliminated frivolous kitchen gadgetry and although this may be a novelty, it is very very useful.

There are vents on the top and right side. We have experienced no overheating problems and love the product. It is the easiest toaster to clean that we have had.

Except for the area around the slots, the toaster is shiny black plastic. the solar area is metal and does get hot.

The outside of this toaster remains quite cool while in use. This is a very good toaster that gets heavy use in my household.

The sides stay somewhat cool; however, the top around the toaster slots gets hot.

Not at all. My toast sit next to plastic recipe holder. My wife was concerned until I showed her the toaster exterior remains cool to touch.

No. When we first tried it the side of toast to the inside of toaster was much lighter and the top crust was burned. Then we started laying the bread on its side and we are having more success. Still a tad lighter on one side, but not enough to hassle with returning the toaster. Have not tried Bagels or anything yet. Just regular bread.

The outside of the toaster does get hot. To be more specific, the area of the toaster towards the top (rounded off area leading to where you insert the bread) is what gets hot. The sides of the toaster do not get hot.
