So many consumer gadgets are really junk, or over-featured messes, or need to be repaired/redesigned immediately. Like I bought a couple of Weber gas bbq's that make flames about 1/8" high and blow out in a mild breeze. You have to disassemble them and drill out the jet if you actually plan to cook something.
Anyway, if you ever need a toaster, this one is great:
It looks good, no fru-fru, no digital displays, and really toasts. It's just a pleasure to use something that's built well.
I've bought six so far. I give them as presents.
