Toasters
"Mark" wrote in message ... 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? -- (\__/) M. (='.'=) Due to the amount of spam posted via googlegroups and (")_(") their inaction to the problem. I am blocking some articles posted from there. If you wish your postings to be seen by everyone you will need use a different method of posting. Tesco Value, about £5 Only 2 slice mind, so I bought a pair and placed them side by side -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

Too long ago to know how much it cost. I have now of course put the finger on it and tomorrow it will die !! Rob |

Surely it can't be that difficult to make one that toasts without burning? 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. |
