SMEG, if you have to ask you are not cool, enough!! BTW, wifey bought it, I think it is an overpriced, time-limited gimmick!! |

And on a completely unrelated topic: I bought a plastic soap dish about 10 years ago at Dollar General for 79¢. I see it now has a chip in the side. How can I fix this? |

If it makes you feel any better, I had a toaster oven my friend's family gave me for Christmas one year....I used it all the time for about 20 years until it started burning the crap out of everything. It was a cheapo, probably Walmart special, and I went ahead and unboxed a nice toaster oven the same family had given me several years before. "Why aren't you using the new one we gave you?" "Well, the old one's working find so far." When the old one crapped out, I unboxed the new one and use it now. TLR It's not about the toaster. |

I had three used microwaves given to me by family or friends, spanning about the last 40 years. The last one crapped out about 5 years ago so I finally had to buy one and I hate it; they've made them worse. |

No idea how/why a toaster goes bad. About ten years after I kicked the old lady out I dusted off the toaster and tried to use it. Was as dead as her honor.
I don't do toast often enough to justify going out of my way to get a new toaster but it's nice to have with bacon and eggs so I just fry bread in the skillet using butter prior to making the eggs, and then do up the bacon. Works good and as an added bonus there's no dust collector taking up space on the counter. |

I don't think I've owned a toaster at all in my adult life. Pretty sure we had a toaster growing up but I never really felt the need to make toast at home after that.
Worth mentioning, I don't keep bread at home either, so that might be a good reason to not have a toaster. |

For right about $27.00 your 79¢ soap dish can be good as new. |

It's the freaking controls and the hoops I have to jump through. I hate freaking beepers whether they're on trucks or microwaves. The "Finished" beeps on this are VERY long, VERY loud, with a LONG silence between them, and there are four. I'm not deaf, I can hear when the cycle is done and don't need a freaking backup beeper off of a 10-wheeler to remind me. Luckily, it does have a silent mode. But the directions to set it up are convoluted beyond belief. And every time the power flickers (I have a WH auto gen, but when the power goes out I get a 1-2 second loss, and that's enough) it wipes my settings out, I have to get the manual out and go through the whole rigamarole again. Another stupid thing: The only time the light will come on is when it's running, and it shuts off and stays off once the cycle is done. The older ones, as I recall, the light would also come on any time you opened the door -- like when the cycle is finished and you wanted to check your food or whatever. |

If the chip is small, I would suggest breaking off a larger section, as the bigger pieces will be easier to handle.
