Hot Dog
Great item, convenient, nice size for counter, kids love it. A little difficult to remove Weiners & the buns get stuck & burn.

A nice surprise
I bought this for my grandmother for Christmas, because she is a very big hotdog enthusiast. She absolutely loves this thing. It is a cute little toaster and works very well. The only downside would be that the bun toaster function is a bit too small to fit a proper hotdog bun. I still highly recommend this product.

It cooks hot dogs okay (after two tries), but the bun warmer is a disappointment
This is a cool looking gadget and I sooooo wanted it to work as well as it looks. I had this idea of a quick lunch, pop in a couple of weenies and buns and voila, instant hot dogs. Plus, I figured for $20, what’s to lose? So, I ordered one.It’s okay. Nothing terribly bad here. Nothing really good either. Here is the good, the bad and the ugly.Hot dogs; yes! They are easy to warm up! Drop two in, pull down the lever and in 2-3 minutes you have “sort of” heated dawgs. But, I have found after multiple tries, I cannot seem to get them warmed evenly. The ends seem okay (hot) but the middle of the hot dog is not. I suspect if I had not taken them right out of the refrigerator, or maybe left them on the counter for a while to warm up, the result might have been better (more evenly warmed); but, who does that in real life? I figured out that I can push the lever down for a second go at it and the meat sort of gets warmer throughout. So, I give the meat-cooking part of this device a B+.Clean up? The tray at the bottom pulls out easily enough and the juices drop down on it as designed. I have to give that feature the best rating. I give it an “A.”Buns? Not so good here. First off, I erred and bought premium buns. Don’t do that. They will be too large to fit in the bun-slot. Buy cheap, small (did I say small) buns and they will fit into the bun slots. Now that you have small hot dog buns, will the toaster feature evenly toast those buns? Probably not! At least not in my experience. In fact, more often then not, the edges of the buns were burned. So, I give the bun-toasting feature a grade “C.”Looks? This thing is really cute. I have to give it that. Grade “A.”Quality of the device? Well, honestly, it is a cheap little toaster. But, I did not expect too much for $20 and I won’t be surprised if it fails after a few uses. It is a gimmick after all.

Great little invention, super convenient hot dog cooking, much better than in the microwave
Great little toaster. This really does a great job of grilling the hot dogs, and depending on what heat setting you use (a knob goes from 1-5), you can get them browned or even blackened like you would if you had them over a bonfire or put them on a grill. It has a nice compact design, a basket in the middle holds the hot dogs, easy to pull out so you can wash it afterwards. There is a tray that slides out of the bottom, like most toasters, and you can wash that as well. It seems like a decent amount of juice from the hot dogs will get trapped down there as well as crumbs from the buns.I think it’s a pretty great product overall. I have used it for about a week now, several times, have experienced no issues so far. It works better if you put it on a lower setting, put the hot dogs and buns in together at first- maybe a 3 setting…let it cook, then take out the bun, should be toasted by that point, then crank it up to 5 and cook the hot dogs alone. I like them literally black in parts. What happens is the hot dog tends to plump up, curves a bit closer to the heating element (it literally is the same sort of heating element in a regular toaster), and that tends to get areas of the hot dog browned/blackened. Works really well. I usually get a bit of smoke as the oil drops into the pan below and the hot dog curves toward the heating element, but it’s easy enough to clean up, and it’s way more convenient than waiting for water to boil, cooking, emptying the water, cleaning the pan…and much better tasting than using the microwave to cook them.Some have mentioned issues with ballpark franks or hot dogs that plump up getting stuck in basket. I have not had that issue at all. It comes with a set of metal tongs which you will definitely need to take them out of the basket as it will get super hot after cooking. I used angus beef franks from ball park, they seemed to plump up as normal, did not get stuck in the basket at all.The design is very retro. Just a button to stop the cooking, a thing to press like on any toaster to push the racks down inside the heating element, and a dial that goes from 1 to 5 for temperature control. It’s pretty neat looking overall. I did notice the first two times, it did smoke. The label on the top of the unit says this, and I just ran it twice with nothing in it, and it smoked…has not done the same since. You get a burning plastic smell the first two times as well, but I see no damage to the unit inside or out or any melted plastic. I did notice that the buns will blacken where they hit the metal near the heating element, and honestly I don’t know how you would clean out the burnt bread from that part. I used a wet towel and paper towels, no luck. There’s a little black residue from where the buns hit the wall, but it’s not that big of a deal I don’t figure, and it does not effect any future buns or how they cook or taste. Unit does a good job of toasting the buns throughout, and depending on how long you keep them in there, it will, as mentioned, turn them brown or black on the outer edges that push into the metal inside the unit.A really fun product, very convenient if you eat hot dogs often enough. I would not try anything larger than your average plumped up beef frank. No brats or anything, as they would surely get caught in the basket and rip apart. The basket, I should mention, isn’t the easiest thing to clean either, so some residue, I think, will stay on there for a long while. Nothing gross or anything, just some slight grease, even if you scrub it with something abrasive. Love the unit so far and would totally recommend.

Hotdog toaster
We do like this, only part not so great is when it toasts the bun it just gets the edges and not the whole bun and if you turn it up it will just burn the edges. But itâs quick and easy. Itâs easy to clean, and I like the yellow model over the red one.

My husband loves hotdogs and we saw this on Amazon. Works great. Hot dogs are perfect on setting 4. Buns take slightly less.
