Cool little product!
Our daughter loves a quick snack, and this is perfect! Approximately the same size as a toaster and is easy to store. This will cook two hotdogs and toast two buns at the same time. The great thing, it will heat your wiener in less than 5 minutes with the toasted bun as a bonus! Very easy to clean, easy to use and makes a great time saver if you just want a quick snack.

Who knew how great this would be?
This thing is fantastic! Turns out the main reason people eat sandwiches more than hot dogs is because hot dogs are less convenient to make. At least, that’s how it seems around here, since after getting this people are eating a lot more hot dogs. (No, don’t worry, you can get hot dogs that are high quality, all natural, don’t have preservatives, etc.)There is a bit of a trick to using it. Since buns tend to get warm first and may burn if you cook them as long as the dog, we set to the middle setting. Run the buns and the dog the first time. After it pops up, take the buns out and plate them, then run the dogs one more cycle. That way you don’t burn the buns.They come out fantastic, some of the best cooked dogs we’ve had. One caveat—we always tend to buy dogs and pre-cooked brats that have a casing on them, not casing-free. We actually haven’t tried with casing free, so not sure how it does for those.But all in all, we use this a lot more than we though we would. It’s really pretty fantastic.

Cute, worked well
It’s cute. My son is autistic and he thinks its really cool. The sweet spot for his idea of a perfect hotdog is to cook the hotdogs only, for 2 minutes (or at least I think that’s what the 2 means on the dial) and then when that pops up, he uses a pair of tongs and flips the hotdogs over, put the dogs and the buns in and cooks for 1 more minute (or 1 on the dial). The bottom tray slides out and it was easy for him to wash the hotdog drippings off and wipe it dry and put it back together. I put it in his Christmas stocking and for how cool he thinks it is, it was worth every bit of the $21 I paid for it. **Helpful hint, we heated it up for a few minutes to burn off the new toaster smell. It will smoke very briefly, but it, and the smell goes away very quickly.

Nostalgia Electrics HDT Pop-Up Hot Dog Toaster
When I saw this product I had to have it. This is the most amazing thing since hot water as far as I am concerned. I got it the day after I ordered it. After reading all the negative reviews I could find here is how I approached using the product.1) Smokes during first few uses-I turned the knob to 5 and let it perform a burn-in cycle with nothing in it. Instructions say to not operate without at least 1 hotdog and bun. But in my opinion if it can’t survive 1 cycle it would need to be returned as POS. Burn-in worked fine and it did smoke like a bingo player at first, then it stopped. Subsequent uses were smoke free with no odor/taste effect on the food.2) Bun burning along edges-Yes it burned the buns along the edge and was heavier from the top of the toaster down. But after a bit of carbon buildup on the inside it no longer burns the bun and I do cook on number 5. The buns need to be regular sized. I also noticed that most buns, I tried 3 brands, are baked/sliced in such a way that one end is more tapered and I place them into the toaster tapered end up.3) Hotdog expands in holder and is hard to get out-Yes it does on fat hotdogs. Also over cooking causes the hotdogs to split as I discovered when working out the best cook setting. Skinny ones like Oscar Mayer or Nathans or Hebrew National have no problem. I tried 6 different brands all beef brands including Ball Park and Bar S and some generic brand. The BallPark were the worst case of the bubch but I got them out without too much carnage. Overall they all cooked great at setting of 5. I prefer my hotdogs either hot or cold but not in between.4) Cheaply made with plastic-It was only $20. However the plastic housing makes it cool to the touch. Key points are it works very well and is easy to clean up.In conclusion, I think my organs are failing from all the hotdogs I’ve eaten the last couple of weeks. Everyone who sees the toaster has a big inner child smile moment and has to try it. It works as advertised. It’s inexpensive and its color matches my coffee maker.

It doesnt fit all types of buns, and the bun cooks slower then the dog, but my son in law loves it.

I’m lazy when it comes to preparing breakfast and I was looking for something quick and fulfilling at the same time and saw this cool toaster for hot dogs and tried it !Gotta say I’m impressed ! Set up was pretty simple , the hot dogs cooked fine ( I’m eating rn as I type ) and it taste great !Some thing I noticed — so it holds 2 hot dogs and.2 buns but I found 2 buns don’t fit so you’ll have to probably put one at a time ( see the video ) , setting 4 seems to cook just right ! No funny smoke or smells like the disclaimer mentioned ——I usually slice the hot dogs whenever I cook ( fry on a pan or grill ) so the inside cooks and when it came to removing the hot dog. One of them got stuck cuz the wiener expands when it’s cooked and the slice got caught on the hot dog wire holder thing . Not a big deal but something to take note of !All in all I’m impressed ! This will come in handy in the morning especially since I don’t have time to actually cook something , this is grab and go !If you’re looking for something QUICK and easy ! Watcha waiting for !Also love the retro look !!!! My apartment kitchen looks dated and it ads to the retro look fo sure !!

Comes with a US plug therefore needs a step down transformer. That should be more clearly stated.
