Toaster Oven for the win. Who the hell wants a toaster taking up counter space? I use my toaster oven constantly to heat stuff up and not use the regular oven.......and it'll toast bread too! YW.

Here's an option that will actually SAVE you money, and you won't have to buy a new toaster either:

Don't invite any guests over ever again.

Finally, some good advice (advise)! That will save me having to wash the sheets and comforters on the guest beds, too!

He doesn't really have any guests/friends. Just humor him and move along. Nothing to see here.

I have an expensive Bose speaker in the garage that works with my iPod Shuffle, which has all my CDs on it. Unfortunately the iPod on/off switch broke.

The apple store can fix it. Yes - I know it sucks to go into a store that carries 2 items, which is the size of a Sears.......but they're pretty good at what they do!

It was already diagnosed as an over priced POS. Throw it in the lake and replace it with a $20 toaster that actually works

Just do this:

Bury a copper kettle in the ground and fill it with salt water.

Run an extension to it and plug the toaster in, get in the kettle and grab the toaster elements. If nothing happens, then the elements are probably shot.

YW.

I'm thinking since it's so old, maybe it needs to be rewired for 220.....the old gal may need a little extra juice to get going.

If you're going 220, go three phase. Trust me on this.

Amazon has toasters for $10-$20
