Only half of the hot rollers actually heat up well.  Trust the negative reviews on this product.  I went back to using my old set.

The plastic on the machine gets really hot and it just feels really flimsy. It gets the job done most of the time but I am just now realizing mine never came with the fat/grease catcher...........!

I was hoping this would be a suitable replacement for a $10 BigLots hot dog cooker that broke a while back after several years of trusty service. Sadly, it's not though. My biggest issue with this one is that the rollers don't heat up to cook the dogs like my cheap one did. Instead there's a heating element under the rollers that cooks the dogs. While they cooked fine, I was looking forward to a good charred dog, similar to if I were cooking over an open flame and again, like my cheap one made. The upside to this cooker is that the ridiculous top does not have to be in place for it to work.

UPDATE 03/22/14. I just wanted to add that I have since cooked a German brat on the cooker and it came out quite good. It didn't get charred but it was a nice golden brown and was quite tasty. So maybe my previous issue was due to the type of hot dog I was cooking (Aldi turkey dog). I will try a Vienna style beef dog next and will update my rating if necessary.

I've had this for a few months now, it gets hot very quick and cooks food fast, but it's very uneven. Half of the plates heat up faster than the other half. It also gets extremely hot and ends up burning half of the food while the other half is still cooking. Clean up is quite a head ache because the food pieces burn into the ceramic.

After a few days, I noticed that not all the heating elements were glowing when the heat control was set to max. I e-mailed customer service and received a reply that did not answer my question! The second time I e-mailed customer service, I was completely ignored!
I guess you get what you pay for! I'm surprised at all the 5 star reviews. Apparently they have not noticed the irregularity with the heating elements!

I have had four of these now. The first one cracked so I replaced it and got two more (3 in all). I inspected the new ones really carefully before I accepted them. However, after a year of use (before that really) they have all three got cracks either across the front and two of them have the two layers separating slightly. However I still give them four stars because they heat really well if you locate them on a wall with mass and keep them on fulltime. they are only 400 Watts also which makes them inexpensive to run. So I am happy with them. I just wouldn't feel comfortable with them in a house with small children.

I am returning this pathetic excuse for a toaster. More than 50% of the heating elements do not get hot, thus defeating the very design of the appliance. It's all red hot sexiness on the outside, and sad, cold metal on the inside.

Its a great roller for the price. The black part of the roller is really the only useful part. I am sure the smaller part is good for someone super small but its pretty soft and tiny so not very useful.

I love this because it was small and I saw on some reviews that only one half of it heated up one of the ones I bought did that but it wasn't such a bad thing so yeah that can affect the way you  want to buy it

they don't get supper warm as the heating element above and below your hand is a 1 inch square.  I wish it had bigger surface area.

One of the burners won't fire up! the spark is hitting it and evrything. even put every burner on HIGH closed it for 10 min and it still won't fire up.

everything else about it is great. looks great was easy to build and all other burners work just fine. and since it is a middle one haven't really cooked anything on it yet. hopefully they can fix it!

The instructions say to start them with newspaper which didn't seem to work very well. Other than that when you do get it started it burns hot fairly quickly.

I really like the hot rollers.  They heat up really fast and are easy to use.  The curl stays really well

Not all of them worked with the machine I have so half of them went to waste. The ones it would recognize were good though.

Only warms the towel where the towel sits on the rack. Would like the whole towel warmed...very disappointing.

It works well for one source of heat but it does not give off enough heat to only rely on the heat pad.

I am not sure it is heating all coils.  The 4 setting is sometimes browning, sometimes not. When set on 5 it appears to be about the same, if
I go higher it is too hot.
