Livwell Toaster

$100 for this toaster is out of my price range. But wait, it's a touch screen with pictures. How did we ever get along without this toaster? I'm completely satisfied with my $40 Cuisinart.

I remember when we stuck a fork in a slice of bread, and held it over the gas burner......

@coffee drinker I agree... My Cuisinart toaster is all I need. I am also happy with my 10 yr old Farberware percolator coffee pot as backup to my Keurig.

$100 sale priced. $149 original price. Wow!

The fancier an appliance becomes with buttons, icons, pre-sets, timers, clocks, pictures, programs and options, the more likely it is to breakdown and become worthless.

I've tossed many a lofty coffee maker with fancy options that soon broke down.

For toast and coffee, the simpler the easier and better.

Give me a Proctor Silex toaster and Mr Coffee coffee maker and I am all set. Plus, they last forever.

We only occasionally make toast. I bought a cheapie on Amazon that has a 4.5 star rating from 38,750+ people, and it cost me less than $25. That's good enough for me.

Had to chuckle when I saw that toaster---I have a cute retro toaster that does just fine--just have to turn a couple dials to get the desired brownness--- AND>>> does a wonderful job toasting bagels to perfection--under $40 too and in a lovely turq color with chrome accents----
