Toasters are quite simple; so how do YOU decide which to buy?

After about 5 various makes of toaster not lasting a year, I consulted my grandmother who recommended a shiny silver Kenwood one. It's lasted over 5 years now! So I would say experience is everything when it comes to toasters.

Funnily enough my last toaster was a stainless steel Kenwood and that lasted me a good 10 years. It only cost me about £10 to buy. :cool:
 
Most of them are crap and drop crumbs all over the worktop as soon as you pick the toaster up.

What you want is a single tray to empty and you're sorted.

Seems like a simple question but this is serious business. Especially if you want to avoid encouraging vermin.

Can I drop the mic yet?
 
* 4 wide slots
* cool touch sides
* crumb tray
* toasts properly
* looks good

There is no need to spend big money on a toaster. As long as it's a decent brand (e.g. Sunbeam, Kenwood) it will be fine.
 
Ugh. Parents have a Dualit. It must ruin as many slices of toast as it gets right.

I note that they have just recently introduced a high-tech innovation... Actually producing toast.

Dualit has introduced a new patented feature to be included on all Lite and Architect toasters. The Perfect Toast Technology calculates the temperature of your toaster and surroundings to provide consistently golden brown toast.

This Dualit patented technology calculates each variable in the toaster, from room and toaster temperature to how many slices it has toasted or how long it has had to cool. With Perfect Toast Technology, you'll get perfectly consistent, golden brown toast - every time without having to change the settings - the ultimate easy start to your day. No other toaster calculates variables to provide perfect toast - Dualit's Perfect Toast Technology is the ultimate in precision control

I'm still using a Morphy Richards stainless steel toaster that I bought in 2004. It goes through periods where I have to hold the level down for 5-10 seconds otherwise it pops back up again but other than that it's still going strong. I've got a spare too, due to having to stay away in the past, but the old one it just won't die so its replacement lives back in the box for now.

Off topic but I wish they still made kettles with the heating element (coil) rather than the heat plate. Best kettle I've owned was one of those and only binned it as the white plastic had turned yellow. Modern heat plate kettles seem to frequently leak, at least the ones I've owned anyway.
 
I couldn't see if you could use a plasma cutter, but a laser doesn't work. Can a Laser Make Instant Toast?

So how are people breaking toasters after <5years ? can't they be bothered to open them up and clean/lube them ? or are the children (ir)responsible
maybe need a new thread 'picture of your deskotoptoaster here and now'
Tefal thiick and thin still working 20 years in.
