At first (like any toaster with a plastic outer shell) there is a strong smell of burnt plastic. But it doesn't affect the taste of the food or anything like that and only the first 5 or so cycles are strong. I was looking to replace my 2 piece toaster with a 4 piece toaster and this one works for what I need. It toasts fairly evenly between 4 slices on one side of the bread and a little less on the other side, but I still like it. The toast stop button works great and is pretty accurate. I set both handles at about the same height and am happy with the result: 4 toasts at once. Fast and efficient way to eat toast.
