Title: worked great for 18 months, then threw sparks
Product review: Received as a wedding gift, and my wife and I were thrilled with the unit for about 18 months. Then it started throwing a burning/electrical smell. A couple weeks later, I caught it throwing sparks out the side!Since I was out of the 1 yr warranty, I figured no harm could be done by trying to repair it myself.Found two 1N5408 diodes, one of which was burnt and snapped in half. Cost to purchase new diodes - about $0.25.Cost to purchase new toaster oven - $50 minimum.So if you have this unit, find that it starts makes an electrical burning odor, and have a soldering gun, it can be repaired in a very cost effective manner.Regardless - a toaster oven only lasting 18 months is pretty poor, which is why I rate this only 2 stars.
