My toaster died ....

I had one for about 35 years. Used it every day for my morning tea and toast.
One side burned out.
Big and clunky but I loved it.
Never had one last any more than two or three years since.
Now I us toaster oven.
 

rpg, I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a spouse is traumatic, but losing a beloved toaster...... my condolences.
When I retired, I figured that all I had to do was sit back and rest. But as you found out retirement means replacing everything you ever bought with a new one. In the last year for me, it's been car, furnace, A/C, washing machine, vacuum. And the dishwasher doesn't work anymore.
BTW, my toaster is 20 years old, just a kid compared to yours.

Yes that is the problem.
I had to do some re arranging with kettle and other stuff
I want a counter top microwave too but no more space to spare . The one I have is over stove. Not good now with fumbly fingers , missing thumb, balance etc., and it is a little too high.

I don't use my stove oven any more...don't do big meals or baking
Just couldn't get my head around turning it on for one baked potato or some other small dish when I am paying for hydro.;)

LOL !! My toaster was the first appliance I bought after my divorce in 1972 ....... It died yesterday morning sniff,sniff ......... I just ordered a new one this morning . I wonder if it will last 50 years ?

Nope. I was ordering toasters so frequently because they were always breaking down about ten years ago I just quit making toast. Toaster ovens last longer and work just as well. The price of toasters when I quit buying them was $75. :(

I bought one of these a few years ago. It takes about 50 years to toast a slice.

You'd think a product called Toastmaster would have toast down pat!

After my last toaster died, I haven't found any toaster worth a da*n. On my 4th brand.
 
Toaster, a must have, get one that can take a wider slice and bagels. I like home made bread and slice it thick. I like toasted bread for sandwiches so it get used a lot.
