Tom, I'm sure not gonna be much help. I've never spent more than $20 for a toaster, and they've all stunk. I was complaining to my sister about my cheap toasters, and was explaining that I was steeling myself to spend a whole lot more in order to get a toaster that would at least toast evenly on both sides. She said she paid $90 for her toaster, and it didn't toast evenly either. At that point I threw up my arms and gave up hope of EVER having a piece of evenly toasted toast. Dirty rackenfracken%%*)__)%&$^#%%()__@(%!!!!

i still prefer the old school toaster ovens like this. i have had one of these since i was a kid, and i am just used to it. some say its too big, some say too slow.. some say too complicated to work. i say, its the most versatile counter top kitchen appliance, next to the microwave.
just my opinion..

I agree with you there, even though mine's just a cheap Black and Decker. It's not perfect, but at least you can see how done the toast is.

true to that.. plus, you can make super quick patty-melts. and heat up leftovers, without them getting soggy like in the microwave. i tell you, i had one of these during my college days, and it was my savior. quick, hot meals. and if you 'just' wanted to make toast, it could do that too..

We've had this one for about a year and it's still going strong. It has lasted longer than any other we've had and it hasn't given us any trouble...yet.

Well, I would drop a mint if I could still get one of these GE chrome babies, from the 60's. My mom had one throughout my childhood. It was by far the best toaster I have ever used - it could actually do light toast that was HOT.

(do you guys hate it when an old topic is resurrected?) On the subject of toast: My current favorite toaster is an el cheapo pannini pressbut for the rest of the story... My dad's first name was Bernard - his family called him Bern. One day, when he was a tyke, his mother was making breakfast. She sliced some bread and put it in the bread-browning-appliance My dad's toaster and said to my Dad: "Watch the toast, Bern"... ... and he did. The toast, of course, was toast. So was the toaster. Fortunately the house did not "bern" down, and there were no casualties. My Dad was a Scotch drinker (well, to be honest, Scotch, wine, beer but no coolers). In honour of my Dad's 80th birthday a couple of years ago, we threw him a party and I invented a shooter which I named after him: the Watch the toast, Bern: - 1 oz single-malt Scotch into a shot glass; - top up with 1/2 oz of Drambuie; - using a vintage toaster (well, we did) toast some bread and cut into croutons; - float a crouton on top; - light on fire! - chant "Watch the toast, Bern!"; - quaff (blow out flaming alcohol first). ... but, the best toast I ever had was using a fork over the campfire; with my Dad.

I actually really LIKE thread resurrection. Look out everybody, Scott's on a roll. Hopefully, his toaster has wide slots. We ended up with this Waring one, because it's what they had at the Costco Business Center. It's pretty good, and pretty consistent, but it's still just a toaster. My boat remains unfloated. Scotch, Drambuie, a crouton and fire. Welcome home, Scott.
