Does the toaster emit an odor during initial use?

I did not notice an odor on my first use, but it did break shortly after, within a month the bar that holds the toast up in it broke off and i could not re attach it. it is in the garbage now.

Yes. Pretty much all heat producing devices do as the production chemical residues burn off. BUT THIS TOASTER IS JUNK! Mine failed after a few dozen uses and is not returnable. $70 for a toaster that failed, and I still own a 15 year old toaster that cost $15.00!

I did not experience any odor upon using my new Kalorik toaster for the first time. It wouldn't surprise me though if I did . It's been my past experience turning a new product on for the first time and it emitting a odor of some kind. I am extremely satisfied with this toaster!

I don't eat a lot of toast and prefer my bagels untoasted. However, I've used this toaster several times, and don't recall there was any signal other than the toast popping up.

Yes. We were disappointed in the performance of this high priced toaster and returned it.

I haven't toasted any bagels in ours yet. But, yes, the toaster toasts bread properly and evenly.

No, but they are so easy to clean. I wipe a little after removing sandwich, however when the toaster is completely cool, a paper towel removes every speck on there due to nonstick.I am looking forward to ST PATTYS DAY for my rueben toasted so perfectly.

No, I do not smell anything or see any smoke. I get the best results in my toaster over.

I think it does!! I have not used a toaster for years. Had a toaster oven I used. Moved recently and decided I didn't have room for toaster oven. I have only used a few time but have not noticed toasting was not even. Hope this helps.

I never had this smell on mine. Have you checked the wire to make sure that there are no cuts? If there aren't any, I would definitely contact Cuisinart to make sure the unit is safe.

I would suspect there may be an issue with the unit you received, I have had no unusual odors from the one I got. It does get a little warm when used a lot, but no smells.

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!

I've had mine for a few months, and one time one piece of toast flew out on the counter. I really like this toaster

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.

I don't believe it does. It really is a wonderful toaster and I use oven only to warm something up, not fully cook something from scratch.

No the smell is inside on the componets each time if heats up after being turned on your going to have that smell forever sorry

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!

No. I also have found it to be very light and flimsy. The toast does not always pop up, it just turns off. I'd look a little more.
