Toasters
OK peeps I want a decent toaster.
Criteria
1) It's made well
2) It can fit at least 2 full sized pieces of bread in properly (without stuffing them in)
3) It toasts the bread the same on the same setting from one piece to the next.
Max spend £50.

I was looking for a fiver worth of kettle for my studio in Sainsbury's only 3 days ago. Alas, all fiver worth kettles were sold out, and were temporarily unavailable until God knows when. I went into Tesco, and saw that they have recklessly bumped up their prices due to recession! They were selling Andrex loo rolls @ 7 quid for 9 bundles pre-packed, FFS! Their cheapo "Value" kettle was something like 8 quid! I had to get it out of desperation.

Oh, Gawd! I am aware of your query, you toast eater! 
Your thread is so great that it have given birth to other discussion opportunities, you should be pleased! 
Anyway, my toaster says "Living Essentials" by some unknown "Mistral" make. Its all stainles steel. I bought it at Comet and paid 36 quid for it about 6 years ago. It's like 50 quid in today's time. It can toast 2 slices each side i.e. 4 slices together. It's shoite, if I am being honest. We don't eat much bread/toasts, anyway. So, I can't be @rsed replacing it. In that case, I am afraid I can't suggest you which one to buy.
If you want mine, you can have it for a 50p.

Madness, innit? I have some friends with 500 quid irons. Madness, again! They all do the same job, at the end of the day. My steam iron was a tenner, which I never use. I already had an iron, but I was forced to buy the "tenner" one of a young couple because they were struggling to pay their rent, and wanted to sell their unnecessary brand new bits and pieces with original receipts to raise funds. Apparently the lad had bought **** loads of stuff on his credit card, and then lost his job. So, they were trying to make both ends meet by selling their stuff until he found a new job. They also tried to sell me their spare telly with fuzzy picture quality. They demonstrated to me that I needed to wave a magnet around a few times in front of that telly, to correct the picture! They also tried to sell me their foot spa, FFS! LOL I did not fall for the latter two.
Anyone spending 50 quid on a toaster needs their head toasting.

As soon as I saw your name .....
It would be really good... twice the price of the equivalent from someone else and would occasionally make soup instead of toast and wouldn't be allowed to have any settings that Steve Jobs said it didn't need and you could get extras for it that make it into a kettle, a coffee maker and a cooker .... but these would compromise its ability to make toast especially if you had your finger bridging the handle and the metal body.... but..... well yeah!!! Bring it on

but it would redefine toast making and you would still have people queuing around the Apple Store to buy one

On 5k coffee machine, more than half are here just having you on with their bragging, because you will never actually get to see their coffee machine. All they might have is a sh!tty nano coffee plunger in real life.

Watch one is a "pleasure" thing. if you have an obsesssion, you do not hesitate spending thousands on it. I know someone who spents thousands on buying elephant sculptures.

Art is different though and please don't try and say watches are art because they are NOT.
