I bought this toaster 3 weeks ago. At first I did not realize it was 50% faster, therefore I burnt the toast twice & set off my alarms in my NEW moved in apartment (great right? I'm sure they love me now). I realize the common sense I lost and toasted this on the lowest setting possible and yet it still set off my fire alarms. I tried this again today on the lowest setting after checking the entire toaster AGAIN to make sure nothing was in or around it and yet a 4th time for sure the fire alarms went off with the toast barely being toasted. I would not recommend this- the bacon I was cooking did not set off my alarms.
