Our toaster is on its last legs (a cheap one, somehow lasted 12 years) and shopping for a new one is making me unreasonably upset
It’s a toaster? How hard can it be? It needs to apply heat to bread for 1-10 minutes
I should be able to buy a user-repairable toaster that will last me 10+ years for less than $50.
Instead, all toasters are disposable, priced by style and appearance, and (according to reviews) consistently fail to do their one job. OR they cost $200.
It’s 2026 where is my open-source toaster that can be taken apart and put back together with a single flathead screwdriver. Where is my flat-pack metal toaster that could survive a dropkick and a night in the rain. Where is my toaster that looks like a miniature ENIAC and if you don’t like that you can 3d-print a new faceplate.
Please, I am begging someone to take my money

@isaaclyman check your current #toaster on #ifixit dot com. If that doesn't work... browse their toaster guides for repairs to find one that is serviceable:
