Is the KRUPS KH732D "cool to the touch" exterior like other competitor models?

No, on a low setting, the exterior gets hot enough to burn an adult's or child's hand. Note that the instruction booklet warns that the toaster is "not intended for use by children" and cautions to "Never let the toaster operate unattended." If I had any idea that this toaster presented a burn and/or fire hazard, I would not have purchased it. These cautions should have been in the online description. I expected more from a KRUPS appliance, especially one costing $50. It's going back.

After one toasting cycle, the sides and bottom of the toaster are barely warm and the slotted top is hot to the touch.

It gets very hot after one toasted crumpet. My previous toaster had an ugly plastic sleeve around it, so I had lost my caution. Got this two days ago and I burnt my hand on the side... both mornings since! Careful.

What toaster would ever be advertising itself as "cool to the touch?" Name, please.

Hi...I'm not sure what you mean by cool. You can certainly tell that it is on, but I don't think it is anything overly hot. I keep mine right next to a wall outlet, but when I use it, I just slide it out a bit. The temps. of the unit really are not a problem for me.

It does get very warm when used for a few minutes,like toasting a couple bagles, but not hot enough to burn anything. The top does get quite hot though so care is needed. But hey... it's a toaster.

Perhaps you can contact Krups directly. Good question. I may have to start searching for a back because I love this machine

Sorry, am only familiar with the one we own and which we like we like very much. Not familiar with the other model so can't offer a comparison.

Okay, I just read the Aeona answer and I totally disagree with her saying that the exterior stays cool to the touch...you better not touch the stainless steel while it is cooking waffles or you are going to get burned. But the handles do stay cool.

This is my first purchase and I am not sure how the other models are. I only know the one I bought (J8005) is super quiet. Really nice.

Yes, it also is quiet and heats upwell. Not prone to dings and scratches. I'm not unhappy with mine.

Fanless design--runs relatively cool. I've had no problems with this compared to Netgear & D-Link models.

Just fyi - any of the reviews that are not amazon verified purchases I wouldn't believe them. Competitors tend to cause havoc on reviews like this. Personally I've tried other espresso machines and this is the best. The others do not brew strong espresso or made of plastic part where the hot water flows thru this Krups does not. I am happy with it.

I've also had an older model for several years and we love it. We always leave the battery plugged in. We're in MN and have it in the garage all summer and winter and it has worked great. Our only issue was a cheap design of a piece of the handle that they have since redesigned. It's quiet! Feel free to mow at any hour and not awaken your neighbors. And no gasoline smell or cost.

Not for this model, but there are plenty of Krups models with glass carafes and the same features.

can't really say about the new one's...but I do own two older models, one about twelve years old and the other about five to six years old. and both of them have really nice (recessed inside the box) which lets out all the water with out having to tip your cooler...for some unknown reason to me, you can buy the 70 qt. cheaper than the 52 qt. would I buy another? 100% yes, I am looking for one right now

It is my understanding that Krups no longer makes the KP1010. I purchased any early model -- about 5+ years ago -- and when I needed to replace it, this model was no longer available. Luckily, someone had a 'gently' used one which I purchased a little over a year ago. I LOVE this machine and it would be wonderful if they resumed making this model. According to their website this is not the case. If you've found another source for this machine, please share because all online searches have come up empty for me.

My Krups doesn't vibrate - but it makes a hearty gurgle while it's brewing coffee - which I ENJOY! I can smell the aroma and anticipate the taste while its bubbling and brewing!

The H70 cools better, but it also is noisier. For most people the H50 is still the best choice.

Hey,I ended up buying the WDEUBK10000N. So far no issues. It's build seems to be able to take more "abuse" then my last one which looked more like the WDH1U. It's quiet enough; I had to actually put it to my ear to here to see if it was on. Not sure on the temp because I don't keep it running all the time.

I love mine, but I am not a Klispch fan at all. I also have a 12 in sub. They compliment each other very well. Happy listener!
