Is this a "cool-touch" type toaster?

Yes, this is a "cool touch" toaster and one of the best toasters we have ever had.

I don't think it is convection, though I stopped using it because it toasts so slowly. I bought a toaster instead.

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.

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.

A little bit of the extra cost is the "wow factor" as it is fairly cool how it operates - push a button and the slices are slowly lowered. LEDs show toasting progress, a nice beep when done, and the toasted items rise slowly. Does it outperform toasters costing half as much? I doubt it, but it does look cool and truly does a great job.

I'm not sure. It's very nice looking and works well. Best toaster I've owned

I've had mine a couple years now without a problem, but I don't use it that much. Seems like a decent toaster though.

No. It has a bagel setting that only toasts one side, and a defrost setting.

Sorry I dona it to Sali army. It is not a toaster a any shape or form. Takes at least to get to temp. Customer service has no care for the people who keep them in business. Us.

I have the 2 slot version of this toaster. The sides get only slightly warm.

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!

yes, using grill mode but it takes more time than toaster. Kinda like grill on an open fire...

This is late but no it does not toast evenly. Neither top to bottom, nor side to side, but it is still the coolest toaster available. I've had my 4 slice for a couple of years and would buy another if needed.

What toaster would ever be advertising itself as "cool to the touch?" Name, please.

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.
