“We’ve bought many toasters that didn’t last a year- “
I have never bought a toaster that ever died.
good for you- you can find all kinds of testimony all over the net of toasters and many other appliances dying within months or well before their warranty expires- people get them replaced- and again ,the new ones fail i n similar amount of time- I have also just explained that we have had the same experience- whether you do or not does not negate the fact that we have had terrible experiences with modern day appliances- we just had one die after 8 months use- using a decades old one now - refrigerator, 3 years old- motor is making all kinds of loud noises buzzes- clicks— don’t expect it will last much longer-
I’m glad your toasters last a lifetime- many folks don’t have the same experience
