Is this good for a toaster so can keep it plugged in

The package says the switch is rated for a maximum of 1800 watts. Of course, this is for standard household AC outlets of 120 volts and 15 amps. That should be sufficient for most ordinary household appliances (including hair dryers and space heaters) and tools. (Where do people get their 110 volt number? Maybe they live in California or the northeast where they are accustomed to brown-outs with their voltage being reduced to 110 volts.)

The only restriction to the switch is it's 15 amp rating.As long as you never exceed the 15 amp rating this switch can be used on any 110 volt device.Check the label on the toaster just to make sure is uses 15 amps or less.

toasters use a lot of current, up to 1200 watts. You have to check the rating of the switch and your toaster to see if they are compatible.

Nancy, if your toaster uses 1000 watts or less, that would be about 8 amperes. The switch, according to the data imprinted on it states a rating of 15 amperes. There should be power or current information on your toaster and if it requires less than 15 amperes it should be OK to use the switch. If your data information states watts but not amperes, then divide the watt number by 125 and that will tell you the ampere usage. I hope this helps.

As you face the toaster the cord is on the right. The length is 33 1/2" then the plug.

I keep mine plugged in all the time but it may not be necessary. I love mine!!

Hooks up to a 12 volt battery. You'll need a pretty good size battery bank if you want to run a toaster. 200 Amp-hour or so. Then you plug in your AC appliances, and turn them on. Mine blew the internal fuses when I tried using a vacuum, guess it was just a bit too much. Bit of a task replacing them, so will probably add fuse holders when I do it. Otherwise it's a pretty good unit. You'll also need some pretty large cables from the battery to your unit. Along with a 150 amp fuse. Good luck!

It stays cool. This is the best toaster I've ever had. It really is that good.

It doesn't stay down if it's not plugged in. If it's plugged in & it won't stay down, return it!! I had my first one for 10 years before I broke down & got the same one again. One heating element had gone out. This is a really good toaster, so if it won't stay down... it's broken & exchange it. The warranty is really good!

Yes. My toaster & the AC share the same above-counter two-prong outlet. Very convenient arrangement in my kitchen!

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

Howdy, We have been using this toaster for a couple years. It does pretty well and runs on 120 volt, AC power. As far as it's electrical draw, I have no idea. I know toasters work on a direct short circuit to heat up so it may be drawing about 10 amps.

Unfortunately ,Its not a very good one ,it is tough to control the settings, the timer sometimes click and shuts off and other times it burns the toast ....I need to replace it soon with a better product . it keeps shorting out on the plug .

Says that on lots of things I buy like toasters, blenders etc. Definitely not necessary, just something the manufacturers say to cover their rear ends. If it catches on fire when not in use (which is MOST of the time) it is YOUR fault since they told you to unplug it when not being used.

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.

I have my toaster and microwave plugged into the socket that comes with this unit works great for me

Unfortunately, my toaster broke after only a few uses, so I'm sorry I can't help you on that issue. Nice looking toaster, but not much good.

This toaster has a 3 prong USA plug. I LOVE the bagel feature on this toaster as it toasts the inside of the bagel while making the outside crisp.

probably not but I don't see the need to keep it plugged in all the time. just unplug it when the blue lights are lit.

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.
