Is it a cool-side toaster?

While holding my hand on side of toaster, I inserted bread and held it there until bread was toast. Could tell no difference in temp from start to finish.

Don't know but I think it is...this is the best toaster on the market. Believe me we've tried tons of them.

It toasts both side fairly evenly. One side might come out a little darker but not enough to make a difference.

If anyone finds a toaster that toasts only on one side, please answer this thread. I had an old Black and Decker that did so, and I can't find a replacement anywhere. THAT is what a true "bagel setting" should do....

Yes, the sides get hot while toasting. A lot of heat emanates from the top, as well. I leave my toaster plugged in all the time, so I guess you don't have to unplug it after using.

I'm not sure. It's very nice looking and works well. Best toaster I've owned

What toaster would ever be advertising itself as "cool to the touch?" Name, please.

The reason I bought this toaster was to toast Bagels. It works great, the bagel is nicely toasted but still soft in the middle. Before getting this toaster I had to squash the bagel flat to toast it now I get to eat a nice fluffy bagel. Enjoy your new toaster.

It gets as hot on top as it does on the sides. It cools down pretty quickly though. I move the toaster away from the wall and make sure there are no wires touching it.

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.

Sorry I dona it to Sali army. It is not a toaster a any shape or form. Takes at least to get to temp. Customer service has no care for the people who keep them in business. Us.

No it doesn't but doesn't seem to need it as it pops it up tall. It's a great toaster, very sturdy, very interactive. Cool and crazy buttons, like "A Bit More". I feel like I'm in a Charles Dickens movie.

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

Yes, it toasts evenly on both sides. It also has a bagel setting that will only use the inside heating elements.

I have the toaster that only does two slices but when I do one slice the other side remains cool.

This is late but no it does not toast evenly. Neither top to bottom, nor side to side, but it is still the coolest toaster available. I've had my 4 slice for a couple of years and would buy another if needed.

Yes it is a cool touch toaster, but the one we have doesn't toast evenly or the same darkness twice. Maybe purchase different toaster or ours may just be a dud. hope this helps
