Can anyone recommend a toaster that actually works properly? After
the demise of my old toaster I have been through three different
toasters and none of them cook the toast evenly. Surely it can't be
that difficult to make one that toasts without burning?

Tesco Value, about £5
Only 2 slice mind, so I bought a pair and placed them side by side

We've got a Tefal one (label underneath says 5324 - and now there's
crumbs everywhere!), and it has lasted fully all of ten years without
any problems; it cooks toast nicely and does buns and the likes as
well. Too long ago to know how much it cost.

I have now of course put the finger on it and tomorrow it will die !!

Bear in mind that probably 95% of the population would not be able or
interested in replacing elements and most would not have the motivation or
tools. Many toasters fail because owners are too apathetic to even clean out
the crumbs. So, manufacturers cater for the majority who will be happy to
buy one from the supermarket when they need one and not shed a tear when it
fails provided it has lasted about 12 months.

I agree that many are not build around a typical slice of bread - possibly
they all use the same Chinese elements.

We all want to mend things - but to produce repairable items costs more (eg.
screws instead of welds). Makers would also have to ensure that they can be
accessed and repaired safely - this would be difficult as someone could do
something wrong and make a claim.
