A while ago, I wrote (1) about an old toaster I had bought at a thrift store 7 years earlier and that I’d been using daily since. Now, 5 years later, I’m still using this same toaster, and it still out-toasts most newer toasters. I really believe it’s getting harder to find quality products that are built with longevity and repairability in mind.
