Do you have to reset the toast time each time you toast -- versus a toast shade level you can just set once and forget about. Is this a hassle?

Yes depend on what type of bread each time you toasting. For instance English muffin you would have to increase the timer for right amount of toasting. Once you figure out the timer for each kind of bread you use then you should be fine otherwise must use one kind of bread to keep the same setting at all time. Thank you.

The toasting is on a "timer", therefore you must set it each time. You can set it to always on, but then you would have to watch the toast to make sure you do not burn it. The timer is used for oven use as well. There is no "shade" level forget and set. For that, you would likely need a regular pop up toaster.

No, you just have to watch for the color you want the toast to be in order to set the timer.

instead of turning counterclockwise to turn on the toast timer you would rotate the knob clockwise into the on position - ours has become intermittent so we swing from toast quickly to "on" and it goes on.

The toaster has a timed setting anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 1/2 minutes. I don't like my toast brown, I like it lightly toasted.....that means medium to me. It takes about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes (depending on what you consider medium). Once you find how long it takes to get your toast to your liking, you will never have to keep checking on your toast, just set the time. There is no low, medium or high setting, only one temp setting. I think it ridiculous to spend $200 bucks on a toaster, but this toaster is worth every single penny and I would do it again!!!! Extremely happy with it :o) Once the timer is finished, the toast rises up and stops cooking, burnt toast never again!!! The toaster has a timed setting anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 1/2 minutes.

Yes - there is an auto pop-up!! Set the toaster dial to whatever darkness level you want and it pops up when it's done. If it's set too high, it'll burn. Too low - you'll get a warm slice of bread. But if yours doesn't pop up - return it. there's something wrong!!

No, the toaster does not turn off when you open the door...I just tested it to make sure.

I only toast 1 or 2 slices as well. This is definitely the right one for me. Takes almost no find to warm up. I wanted the best, I think I got it with dualit

You do not need the crumb tray before the toaster works. Is the temperature dial set to toast, then after that did you turn the timer dial past 10 & then back to the desired amount of toasting (such as light or dark)? Beyond that I would say your toaster is not working & needs replacing. That would be too bad, ours works great!

Timer has a max 30 minute setting however there is a "stay on" setting if you wanted to set a separate timer and then return to periodic check on whatever you are toasting/roasting.

Yes, it toasts evenly. I am happy with the performance. Try lower settings first. A three on this toaster is like a six on my last toaster.

Probably not enough. Mine turned to toast all by itself. No way to repair. That was after around 16 or 18 months after purchase.

Yes , CANCEL , REHEAT , DEFROST.on mine regular toast I use minimum setting on dial or a hair above that. Bagels about an 1/8 turn from minimum for a med golden toast approx. It's a nice toaster heavy duty electrical cord. This is a upgraded version my mom had. I gave her this for her birthday. She likes polish chrome finish. I repaired her old one twice, so I know the old and new.

Toast takes about 3-4 minutes depending upon darkness. Each time is identical. PERFECT!

If it is the same model as mine, you need to have the top dial on 450 - toast. The botton dial, you turn to the left until the light comes on. You wll ned to watch what you are toasting - this morning I forgot a bagel and almost burned it. I also occasionally have to make sure the plug is in the socket correctly. I do not leave the toaster oven plugged in.

No! This is the worst toaster I ever had! I just got mine this year and sadly I constantly have to flip and turn the toast!

When setting the toaster to the darkest level u should put on the highest number as well

Yes. You set how dark you want the toast on a scale from 1 - 8and a vertical set on bars will decrease until only 1 is left. Thenit will beep a couple times before popping up.
