Try abrading the wire connections as they can get degraded, think
cleaning battery terminals to get a flashbulb to work. Oxidation?

electrical surge recently that popped the microwave and the electric
company is paying us for that.. Would it have harmed a plugged in
toaster?

Thank you in advance for any information.

Take a look inside with the toaster on. Are all the elements glowing as they
should? While most toasters do last a long time, the elements eventually
will burn up.

As for grades, yes, the real cheap ones have thinner elements, larger
spacing, thinner materials all around. Most every toast today is made in
China. The $220 Dualit is made in England. For $30 to $50 you can get a
good one. For $7.50 you can get a cheap one.

Here are higher end toasters for restaurants ranging from $105.00 to
$1,361.00. (You get what you pay for...)

Ooooh I gotta get the one that requires 3 phase 208v 40a which can produce 740
slices an hour!

Wow thanks to everyone. I have more information that I needed as I
just make two pieces of toast a day g, but I am grateful for all the
answers and I will certainly be buying a higher quality toaster this
week.

Madam Pele' has put a curse on it. Maybe the power lines run Kona-Hilo. Buy a
new one and be repentent. g
