I decided some time ago that it was easier and cheaper to buy modestly priced items and consider them disposable...

Microwave ovens, lawn mowers, refrigerators, washers, dryers, televisions, tablets..etc

One particularly annoying item has been keeping a working toaster. They fail often, I just buy several of the cheap 5.99 toasters at walmart and drop the malfunctioning one into the trash and stick a new one on the counter.

Life is a little bit simpler now...

Haven’t used a toaster in years. But do use a toaster oven.
Multiple uses, cheap, trash it after a few years.

I gave up on toasters too - but my solution - - buy a cheap Amazon basic air fryer... the real basic one - not digital. It’s toasts everything - and faster - and makes great wings and ribs... in the $60 range.
