Toaster #4.....
The last toaster I bought apparently wasn't the last toaster I bought. To refresh my memory here is where I stand. Toaster #1 was bought at Target...a cheapo $15 toaster that absolutely did NOT toast evenly meaning one side was toasted and the other side was burnt. Refunded toaster #1. Toaster #2 was bought at Sears...a pricier one at $50, but it just didn't look right next to my microwave. Refunded toaster #2. Toaster #3 was bought at Sears...the priciest of all at $55. It still didn't toast evenly but better than toaster #1 and looked much better next to my microwave than toaster #2. Tentatively and temporarily decided to keep it. But I was getting real tired of toasting a slice of bread and then having to turn it around and repop it back in for an additional 15-20 seconds to get the other side toasted enough.
So today I happened to be at K-Mart and decided to just 'look' at the toasters. There he sat....all nice and black just the way I like em, and he had all the right buttons I could push, and his price was oh-so right...$19.99!! He was a cheap slutty little toaster...and he wanted to go home with me!! He was talking to me...telling me how he'll perform to my satisfaction, telling me how he longed to get all hot and steamy for me and how he'd love to toast my bread. How could I resist him??? So I got out my money and gladly paid for his services...!!!
I wish you could have seen my hubby's face when he saw me walking in with that toaster box under my arm....hahaha... But better yet, you should have seen the expression on toaster #3 cause he knew he had been replaced! Hey buddy...if ya don't perform to my satisfaction, you gonna get replaced...
So I got out my vacuum attachments and cleaned out the toast crumbs the best I could and packed him up in his original box and styrofoam and off to Sears I went. Yep, I got my $55 plus tax back. And my cheap little toaster sits proud in my kitchen, looking perfect next to my microwave. And guess what??...I did the toast test and he even performed as promised....BOTH SIDES WERE TOASTED EVENLY!!!
Now I'm a happy toast-maker....

What a great deal. I have one of those pricey ones that don't toast like it is suppose to--gotta do the toast one side, take bread out, reinsert so it can toast the other side. Nutz!
