So our toaster died this weekend.
I'm quite bummed as we've had it for 6 years. We have a 2-slice one that we've had for as long too -- but the 4-slicer packed it up this weekend.
So my mission was to find a new one. Our old one (and the new one) is a Toastmaster. It worked great and wasn't too expensive. I bought it at Target so that is where my search took me.
No luck. They had two four slice toasters so I opted for the Oster. For some reason I just can't bring myself to buy Hamilton Beach. Bad experiences I guess. Well, I got the toaster home and it didn't even hold a piece of bread. It had extra WIDE slices, it was too small length and depth.
Then we started looking at toaster ovens. I decided to try it out. Again. No luck. It just seemed there was too much work involved to just "make toast." So back that went.
We looked on line -- do you realize some toasters cost over $100? I don't know, that just seems a bit excessive to me! Is it worth it?
I've given up my search for the time being. Who knew it would be this hard to find a toaster? Thankfully I have a back up with the 2-slice.
Any recommendations on toaster vs. toaster oven or what makes are good would be greatly appreciated!
Anyway, I thought I would share a Samism with you....
We were eating breakfast and he was not sitting down.
Rich: Sam, sit down and eat your breakfast -- and chew with your mouth shut.
Sam: Okay. There is a button on my bum and when I sit on it my mouth chews. Watch!
Crazy kid.
Ha! Sam!
ReplyDeleteI agree about Hamilton Beach.
I have never ad a 4-slice toaster, boy that would be nice! I love my 2-slice toaster, but I cannot recall who made it.
I like toasters better then toaster ovens for toast. However I love the toaster ovens for when only cooking a small thing like a WW TV dinner.
ReplyDeleteTry Overstock.com and see what they have. Good prices and they usually have testimonials too to see what other people think about them
Cute kid...love those Samisms!
ReplyDeleteHee, hee! We have a 4 slice toaster from Phillips. It gets the job done, but I don't thnk they sell them anymore.
ReplyDeleteWow! $100???
ReplyDeleteI loved my toaster oven, but it was sooooo hard to keep clean. I tossed it out when we moved for that very reason.
Now we just have a two-slice toaster, which serves us well b/c most of the time we make cheese toast in the oven.
That stinks. it is so hard to find a good toaster. One that doesn't make the toast too dark or not too light.
ReplyDelete$100 for a toaster???? Does it butter it for you? That is crazy!
Too funny. I asked for a new toaster for Chrismtas! I can't imagine I'll be getting a $100 one. OUCH!
