Is the toaster 'cool to the touch' after using?

It is warm to the touch, and can be handled by the sides of the toaster with no problems - however, I would not classify it as "cool to the touch" after using.

Yes, this toaster IS "cool to the touch" after use. You could pick it up or move it while toasting, if you like. I have yet to find anything wrong with it. Toast, bagels or toaster pastries have all toasted beautifully. You just need to find the right setting.

Not at all; there is virtually no external heat on the toaster. By the way, this is by far the finest toaster I have ever owned.

You definitely don't want to touch it after toasting something. That being said I think it's about the same as other stainless toaster ovens.

Mine stays relatively cool compared to my last toaster oven. I wouldn't purposely grab hold of it but if you brush it you won't get burned.

This is a great toaster. After power level 6 toasting, it is hardly warm to the touch on the front, side and back.

Not to my knowledge ,but the toaster is fine. Check your wall plug. Also if it keeps doing this take the toaster to an appliance store and plug it in there and see if they can help you.

Nope. But like every other modern toaster, it does have other issues. Biggest design flaw - to pop the toast early, you have to turn the "darkness" knob all the way to the left. If the toast isn't done yet, it's hard to return to your original setting as the knob has no markings! I've also tried several over the past few years, and nothing - - reviews notwithstanding - - seems to work very well these days.

I'm going to say no. This is my 2nd toaster. The lettering rubbed off the first one and I returned it. I've had this replacement about a year and now it's doing the same thing. It's not the quality I expected from Breville.

No the cord is static. If that is not a must have then I would highly recommend. I never realized how much difference there was in the quality of toasters but I love mine!

The inside housing is stainless and glass. There is plastic housing on the outside of the toaster on the top, back and bottom, but doesn't get heated.

yes. I really love this toaster, especially the level of toast control and the lever that raises the toasted item for easy removal

I wish I could tell you that I doesn't get hot, but it does. For an average adult that's more aware, you can get away with leanin on the unit and just have a bit of scare with the warmth of the top. Nothing that will burn to damage severely. I would say if you had it around kids, just simply aware them and show them got hot it gets.... It is a great toaster and can be used in great amounts!

Yes, to all questions and all in the back. The toaster really feels like something special, because it is! If you get one I hope you have as good luck as I have had. It does take some experimenting to determine the best setting for the type of bread you're using. (We toast a variety of breads.)

The sides and bottom do not get hot. Only the silver on the top warms with the toast or whatever. I hope this helps.

No. The heating Elements inside the toaster will shut off but the Blue LED Window will remain lit for approximately 3 min after the toasting cycle is complete. The owners manual though recommends unplugging the toaster when not in use.

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.
