We've been without a toaster a few years now. We'd use the oven for anything if needed. Last one worked OK but we retired it. Chalked it up to we're not toast people much anymore. I noticed the wife using the oven more and more lately so decided grab a new one and boy I am happy I did! It's FANTASTIC. I didn't research extensively but just grabbed one that caught my eye. I lucked out I guess. I am NOT easily impressed but I am with the thing. For me, the ideal toast is pretty dark BUT still soft and this thing just _KILLS_ that. Digitally and intelligent apparently. I got it for just over $30, snagged a 5% off somehow. Pretty fired up as we got eggs benny on deck for Easter and I ran CB for it. Heads up tho, if you're like my Dad and want your toast to tear the roof of your mouth out with every bite, this is NOT for you!
