    • Arc-faults occur when the hot and neutral wires are too close together or touching
    • Arc-fault breakers are required in most newer homes.
    • Earlier units lasted 3-4 minutes before tripping the arc-fault breaker.
    • Each unit tripped an arc-fault breaker (not the same as a GFCI breaker, which it did not trip).
    • It's not quite as shiny as when we bought it, but probably because we don't really give it the scrubbing it deserves; we just clean out the tray at the bottom and wash the glass every now and then.
    • Baked items are equally as good as if there were in a normal sized oven
    • Works as it should.
    • The top gets very warm to hot as there is little or no insulation
    • Must be an electricity savings somewhere here as well as it's so efficient.
    • So if say you have a towel, or plate, or cutting board or really anything on the counter in front of it it will slam closed on your hand burning you as you reach in for your toast
