My toaster caught on fire! Sorry, no news at 11:00 or link to a news story.
I was toasting a slice of sourdough bread and the toast was done. I had just taken it out of the slot with when flames burst up! I quickly unplugged the toaster and grabbed a box of baking soda from the cupboard. I doused the flames. I have NO idea why the toaster suddenly caught on fire. I keep the crumb-tray clean and empty. It was a 10 year old toaster but that's no excuse. Good thing I never toast bread without standing there waiting for it. Jill |

Perhaps get a electrician to check your wall socket. Google the brand to see if others have had the same experience. Hmm. I just googled "toaster fire". You're not alone. leo |

God luck with your next choice. > It's a four slot toaster, wide slots. Yes, it has a plastic housing but it stays cool to the touch, not that that has anything to do with it. It's a Proctor Silex and I misspoke - it was older than 10 years. Wide slots so I can toast bagels if I want to, not that I want to. It, too, has the release button to pop up the toast if you think it's already done. Also you can push the levers up so smaller slices of bread can be raised up for easy retrieval. FYI, I dislike stainless steel appliances. And, IMHO, the name Cuisinart just drives up the price. Jill |

A couple years ago our twenty year old Kitchen Aid toaster died and no longer made so I bought a four slice wide slot Oster for $22... has all the features and toasts perfectly... exterior is brushed stainless steel. A couple years ago this toaster was $22 at Walmart: https://www.amazon.com/Oster-4-Slice...70_&dpSrc=srch |

My small one is about 6 inches high and 12 or 13 inches long. Cheri |

Neither of them looked small like my small one to me, they look more like my big one. :) Cheri |

Neither of them looked small like my small one to me, they look more like my big one. :) Cheri == Ahh! I wonder if the one I posted has all the details ... hang on ... https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sil...r-2999-1373424 The one with the rotisserie is: He's just been and measured it for me:) 17 inches wide x 11 inches high x 14 inches deep externally. If yours is smaller than that then I can understand that you use it for toast. Maybe mine are not really toaster ovens:( I just looked and they are called a 'mini oven'! it's great when I don't need the big ovens! |

The big one is close to the size of your rotisserie, 16 in wide x 10i n high and 12 1/2 inches deep. The small one is 6 in high, 12 1/2 inches wide and 7 1/2 inches deep. I don't know what size your little one is because it's listed in cm but it looks bigger than my small one. They are all considered toaster ovens here. Cheri |
