    So... does Tesco REALLY sell the cheapest toasters?

    Because I'm looking at this old Sunbeam circa 1983 for $2 US at the neighborhood Catholic thrift store. There's a lovely fondue pot here brand new in the box for $1.50... might have to jump on that.

    Nothing could be as screwed up as the toaster we got as a gift. One side beautifully browned, the other a freaking smiley face.

    I find the cheapest ones give the best results.
    At 199 baht a time it doesn't matter that they only last 18 months.

    No shit, several friend in the states have this.



    The one with 4 kids has one like this.



    Was an integral part of my kitchen during my wild collegiate years. Also bought at a thrift shop.

    Still made like the old days built to last. Something that is long gone now. Planned obsolescence used to be a bad thing, now it is the norm.
