Does this toaster have a release/pop-up button if you choose to stop toasting?

Oh yes, the far right button stops the progress. However, I was interested in the person who toasts on three... I always toast on one and get nice light toast, two would be fairly dark... and three.... can't imagine how dark that would be...

Yes it has a place to push to get toast up. Also set it around a 3 level for regular toast.

Yes. You press the stop key. You can lift up the lever to release whatever you are toasting. Nice feature.

I wanted to amend my information in my last answer, since I used my toaster this morning and paid close attention. The answer is still "No" there is not a beep, but I always hear the toaster popping up, plus since there is a timer on the front, you know when to come back and check if you can't hear it pop up. Also, Setting #2 is 2:30 min. Setting #3 is 3:15. Setting #4 is 3:40. I didn't check Setting #1 or 5 because I don't ever use those.

No is does not. This toaster broke after about 6 months and kitchen aid wouldn't replace it bc they wanted the ORIGINAL receipt (who keeps an original receipt for a toaster). I threw it away and bought a $15 toaster and am happy with it. I won't buy kitchen aid products anymore.

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.

No, it does not......oops sorry, I see how the other reviewer answered. I was looking at feature buttons & the manual and did not see this mentioned....but they are correct once the toast pops up the heating elements do turn off.

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.

. I have NO IDEA what you are looking at because ... the picture & my toaster &gt;&gt; http://www.amazon.com/T-fal-TT7461002A-4-Slice-Toaster-Function/dp/B000F0BYRS/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t &lt;&lt; Has 2 buttons. There is no click or anything when I press my toaster buttons but they do light up different. The BAGEL function is to toast only on the one side of the bagels I really don't ever use this cuz I don't like soft on one side / crispy on the other. and All of the settings defrost -- it is heat after all. BUT that said.. the DEFROST button DOES light or not depending on pressing or not. Remember... the "Defrost" & "Bagel" buttons do NOT make noise and you can't FEEL the click when you press either of these buttons.. I know this cuz I JUST CHECKED. I never use them... I just like the toaster shape & way the toast tilts out so I can have it in a appliance garage without taking it out all the way. .

No. I used to have a Black and Decker that did have this feature. It was always a problem through because it would get sticky and then the rack would not slide out easily. I was cleaning it all the time. Eventually a fuse blew out and ruined the mechanism. So this time I looked for a toaster oven that did not have that feature. We have been very happy with the PS.

The timer only goes to a maximum of 30 minutes. It does have a "Stay On" function on the dial if you want the toaster to simply stay on until you decide to turn it off. A bit of warning, though: my timer broke and I can only keep the dial set to "Stay On" now. Because of that I can only turn off the toaster oven by unplugging it. The dial won't stop once it's reached the "Off" position when the timer is being used. I don't mind because I find the ticking sound of the timer to be really annoying anyway. But if you were relying on a timer for helping you properly cook your meal, just a warning that my timer did break only about a month or so after I started using my oven. I hope this is useful for you. The timer only goes to a maximum of 30 minutes. It does have a "Stay On" function on the dial if you want the toaster to simply stay on until you decide to turn it off.

John,As with most toasters after the toast pops up the elements turn off. However, if the bread is jammed into the slot so tightly that it can't pop up, I am not sure what will happen. We previously had this exact model for many years and never had an issue until one of the elements failed and we replaced it with the same model.

Yes, it makes a little beep. You will love this toaster. It is the best I have ever used.

Yes, there is a cancel buttom BUT the PROBLEM with this toaster is that it only toasted the bread on ONE side because the heating coil was defective on BOTh outsides of the toaster. It was defective from the first and I didn't bother returning it because I needed the long slots for large bread slices which are hard to find and it is my fault for not returning it. I don't know if any other customers had this problem but it just one more product from China that is "10 Cents short of a dollar". And this item isn't cheap so the low quality is inexcusable for a supposedly-industrial quality product.

No bell. I have been really pleased with this toaster. When the toast releases from the toasting cycle - you hear the release - as it pops up to the top - but there are no bells.

Hi Paul. No it doesn't beep. Toast just pops up. So far I like it a lot. Some people have complained about there not being a cancel button. You have to turn the knob if you want to pop up your toast before its done but that doesn't really bother me. It seems pretty sturdy.

You just press it down without any additional settings . But I returned my toaster because no matter what setting I used, it never actually toasted the bread.

I have not found a way. It beeps twice and if you are trying to be quiet, it isn't, but it isn't long beeps and you get used to them. Nice if you have left the room and don't want your toast to get cold. It would be nice to be able to either adjust the volume or turn off.
