Probably haven't figured out what's causing it...

It might, if you don't have Michigan-style power outages (I think that's what did for the first one?) 50 years though! I remember our family getting its first microwave when I was at least 10, and I'm not 50 yet

Yep, I clearly remember when my folks brought home my recently deceased microwave when I was 10. We thought we were the Jetsons!

Hot Glinda's 50 yr comment made me think of my grandmothers toaster. When it quit and she got a new one she said she hoped they made better toasters by now. The old one only lasted 57 years.

I think we went over the toaster problem?

I think we worked out that in order to get a "better toaster than the one from 50 years ago" you need to pay Williams-Sonoma on the order of $200?

Undertoad · 03-19-2019, 02:36 PM

Yes. Clod did the math:

With a name like Smeg, you know it's got to be good.

We need a new toaster. I'm thinking about it.

glatt · 03-19-2019, 04:54 PM

My toaster that I wound up getting and may be in that thread is still going strong. I highly recommend it.

glatt · 03-19-2019, 05:01 PM

And they don't make it anymore. It is a Krups. Maybe today's Krups toasters are as good as the Krups I bought ten years ago.

I recommend you read the reviews first. They're not very inspiring.
