To all "toaster manufacturers" I challenge you to make a toaster that lasts 10 to 20 years. I know "Jenn buy a better quality toaster and it will last longer". I tried that one and it only lasted about 2 years. One very cold winter morning as I was making my rich chocolate mocha that went to put down the anticipated toast for my crunchy peanut butter, the toast would not stay down. I had to hold the handle down and it screeched the whole time, it was having a toaster temper fit!!! Yes, this was one of the expensive high end toasters...which I did a search on and read the consumer reviews...laughing. This last one was a top ten pick....perhaps I should have read the comments posted by the people who bought the toasters, they paint a whole different picture about the top ten toasters on the market.
The average consumer is looking for kitchen bling, bragging rights about a toaster???? Please people reality check!!!!, it's a fricken toaster, it makes bread brown and crunchy!!! One women said her 499.99 Kitchen Pro toaster really didn't toast as well as it should and perhaps it had a small defect, but it matched her color combination for her kitchen, so it's fine. Are you serious lady...for 499.99 you could have had any 15.00 toaster custom painted and still could have had lunch at the Ritz with a manicure. Now that would have been bragging rights...custom painted toasters!!! But to spend 499.99 on a toaster that doesn't work and keep it, tells the manufacturers that quality is not important.
No more housewifey toasters for this girl!!!! When my kitchen appliances finally get the best of me, I go to the restaurant supply store and peruse commercial grade toasters!!! I peruse the big bad boy of all toasters and drool...and count my pennies. Damn, Damn, Double Damn ALL you housewifey toaster manufacturers!!! damn you all to pits of hell...after counting my pennies for the 10th time I am still extremely short of the 1027.98 price tag of the Hobart Toaster I have been drooling over for 10 years...Perhaps I can find a slightly used one? I am wondering if I bought the Hobart Toaster if it would outlive me...

Hmmmm... the Hobart may be drool worthy, but I am far too miserly to spend $1027 on a toaster... even if it is the toaster to beat all toasters. My last toaster cost ten bucks... and when you divide 10 bucks into $1027, well you can buy 102 cheap ass toasters. Besides, I like having my hissy fit when the cheap ass toaster dies... there is some really great stress relief to be had when you toss the cheap ass toaster out the window.

I have my drool worthy wish list of kitchen appliances, one happens to be a divine commercial toaster, a commercial glass front fridge, and of course the creme della la crème of commercial kitchen must haves is the RANGE. Each one comes to those who wait patiently and I have been waiting for years for a Hobart toaster, however given a choice of I am opting for the range and fridge before I buy the toaster. I just like to torture myself before I give in to another housewifey toaster....
