Remember Black and Decker ?? Pure junk now.

Finding a decent 2 slice toaster is as difficult as seeking The Holy Grail.

I replaced a micro wave oven that I inherited that was built in the USA in the 1980s. It finally died two years ago. Since then I have had to replace my Japan built(Chinese parts) micro wave twice.
