Anyone know how hot the front will get during toasting?

The front and sides on mine do not get hot. I toasted English muffins and tested how hot the front would get. I felt no heat on the front until I slid my hand up the front close to the toaster slots. I began to feel heat at the top front as I got near the slot. If I didn't feel heat at that part, then the toaster wouldn't be working as it should.

I have the two slicer, not the four. I have never touched the front while toasting.

This is a great toaster. After power level 6 toasting, it is hardly warm to the touch on the front, side and back.

It doesn't get hot at all. The major drawback is the toast doesn't get ejected high enough for easy extraction

I wish I could tell you that I doesn't get hot, but it does. For an average adult that's more aware, you can get away with leanin on the unit and just have a bit of scare with the warmth of the top. Nothing that will burn to damage severely. I would say if you had it around kids, just simply aware them and show them got hot it gets.... It is a great toaster and can be used in great amounts!

No it does not get hot. However, when in use, I would make sure kids no not to touch the toaster.

There are vents on the top and right side. We have experienced no overheating problems and love the product. It is the easiest toaster to clean that we have had.

The instructions say it toasts on the cut sides (toward the middle) and warms on the outsides. Haven't proven this yet as I like the outside a little toasty too.

Yes. I agree with rosegardner. It doesn't get as hot as an all metal toaster but the plastic sides are thin and can gradually get hot enough to burn your fingers if you are moving it around. My old toaster always stayed cool enough to handle and wouldn't burn you no matter how long you touched it.

The sides stay cooler because of the extra width, as far as the top it will get hot. We really like the bagel feature which allows toasting on one side while the crust side remains untoasted. I would buy it again, very happy.

The sides stay reasonably cool. The top can get pretty warm when toasting bread and hotter if the oven is on for a longer time. I would not put anything flammable or that could melt on the top of the over. I noticed this with two other toaster ovens that I had. They would even melt plastic if left on top. I would imagine this is the same for most toaster ovens.

It could be - but the whole thing gets hot to the touch, so it would have to be placed where no one would brush against it. I have not tried to make a lot of toast at once, but it is not very fast.

The sides stay somewhat cool; however, the top around the toaster slots gets hot.

It gets hot but no more than any similar appliance. I use the top to warm plates when necessary if it is on.This is the best toaster oven I've ever owned and had it for several years.

Depends on the user of the toaster. The outside would not feel hot to an adult, it's warm. Maybe a child would react differently.

I bought one about 2 weeks ago and am very pleased with it. It does a nice job of toasting both sides of the bread. I only wish it was all brushed stainless steel; the top is shiny chrome.

No, on a low setting, the exterior gets hot enough to burn an adult's or child's hand. Note that the instruction booklet warns that the toaster is "not intended for use by children" and cautions to "Never let the toaster operate unattended." If I had any idea that this toaster presented a burn and/or fire hazard, I would not have purchased it. These cautions should have been in the online description. I expected more from a KRUPS appliance, especially one costing $50. It's going back.

The sides and door get warm. The top gets hot which is normal for similar toaster ovens.I've owned several toaster ovens over the years, but this is the best!

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

Obviously the top Metal will be heated while toasting but the Plastic is not heated.. Keep kids away from all appliances for safety reasons.
