Product Review

VillaWare Disney Pooh Toaster toasts Pooh and Tigger's face onto each slice and plays the Winnie the Pooh theme song when the toast pops up. Extra wide slots, 5 setting browning control and removable crumb tray. Classic stainless steel housing.

Amazon.com Review

Breakfast-time is just a little more cheerful when serving toast from this two-slot Winnie-the-Pooh pop-up toaster. Kids (and grownups) are greeted by a happy picture of Tigger and Pooh and the words "Rise ‘n Shine" on the outside of the toaster. Toasting is even more fun as bread is imprinted with either a picture of Pooh or Tigger and the toaster plays the Winnie the Pooh Theme Song as toast is ejected. The Pooh toaster even has a lift control shaped like a little honeybee.

The toaster has extra-wide slots that can accommodate bread, frozen waffles, toaster pastries, or bagels and guides that automatically self-adjust and center themselves around any thickness of bread for even browning. An electronic control dial offers five different browning settings and a cancel button raises the lift control and ejects toast mid-cycle if it’s getting too dark. The professional stainless-steel exterior gives this Pooh toaster a retro look; however, the outside of this appliance gets very hot during toasting so it should always be used by adults and should be kept out of reach of little hands. The Pooh toaster has a crumb tray that slides out of the bottom for cleaning and is covered by VillaWare under a one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

This review is from: VillaWare V5555-14 Pooh n' Pals Toaster 2-Slice (Kitchen)
We received this toaster as a gift, and thought it was a really great one. But the first time we tried to use it, a lot of smoke and a plastic-burning smell came out. There was no plastic or any object visible inside the toaster. The retailer was contacted, and assured us that a "small amount of smoke" and a smell were normal for the first use or two.

Well, we tried it a couple more times, and the smoke just got worse. So we sent it back.

We recieved the replacement, and I'm happy to say, just a little smoke. But it still had an extremely strong reeky plastic burning smell. We actually had to plug it in outside and run it several times to get rid of some of it, but it is still lingering after maybe 20 cycles. I am reluctant to feed my kids the toast cooked in that toxic stink.

As for the performance, the music chime stopped working after a few cycles, and never started up again. I was actually happy about that, because it was extremely annoying. The...Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality appliance, May 17, 2006

The bumble bee "handle" used to push the toasting lever down is very poor quality. In retrospect, it's hard to believe anyone designing a product would think this cheap plastic decoration would serve for actual use as a lever. Can't believe I didn't notice it and return the product immediately. Sooner or later you end up pushing down on a bare metal shaft that's about 1/4" top to bottom.

The music stopped playing after the 3rd or 4th use. The dial for choosing your browning level is imprecise at best. You end up with a lot of toast that isn't what you want.

Even though I didn't experience any smoking/smell issues and haven't noticed it being overly hot to the touch, this product is very expensive for what you get. If you want a toaster, go for the discount store $5 sale toasters if you want quality. Otherwise you pay $30-40 for the cute factor. It will look very cute on your counter and if you don't use it you won't be upset about it's poor quality...Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Just A Gimmick Toaster, January 12, 2006

I highly recommend that you do not buy this or any other Villaware Disney Toasters. They all get very hot, you and your little loved one will get burned; in more ways than one. You have to practically burn the toast to see images and the music works Loud and well for a short time then, Nothing! The heating elements burn up and smoke!!! Also the browning select, or should I say the burning select, control is backwards it turns counterclockwise. It is just a Gimmick Toaster, Not Safe or Reliable at All.
