Holy Smoke! For TOAST?????

ECBG — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 22:36:50 GMT

I was looking on several sites for a toaster (not a toaster oven) and my gosh! There was a toaster almost $350.00!

We only do toast......, toasted bread for a sandwich..........

One man said he had bought 2!!!!!

I guess their jelly is better than mine!!!!

Wow! For that price, does it butter the toast and put it on a plate? So many people think the more something costs the better it is. Not true.

@ECBG He must be so rich that maybe he toasts his money instead of

bread!

what?

350 dollars for a toaster?

and he bought two?

A regular cooker may cost less than 700 dollars, oh well!

My toaster costed 49 dollars (If I recall correctly) and that came from AAFES, it is a Cuisinart and I was been told then that this brand is a very good in Amercia.

@Catty2 It had several bells and whistles. I was looking for complete, even toasting.

I didn't want my whistle THAT loud!!!!

I have a very well off sister and her toaster was in that range. I was shocked when I saw how much it cost! For me the ten dollar one works fine LOL.

A good toaster does cost, just not that much. They have more durable, well spaced wires and toast the entire width and length. I will admit to a small problem with perfect toast.

What brand was it? I've bought a number of toasters over the years.......never saw that price.

Good toast with my KitchenAid pop-up - simple style- bell does ring bell when done; but that's no issue. Push down again for half the time if you like toast a shade from burnt (I do).

I don't think that I have ever seen a toaster that expensive. Even though we have one, I always toast in my toaster oven because I think the toast gets and stays hotter.

@ECBG I recently posted a SMEG Dolce Gabbana toaster that was $950 under the thread called Designer small kitchen electrics. If you have time, take a peek at it. I went back to the site where I found it, and it's no longer there - likely sold. It was pretty but too extravagant for my budget. There must be a market for them though.

@Dinaki That brand is wonderful for many items.

@ECBG The guy who bought 2 toasters must be putting one in his "gift closet". Just in case someone pops in -- you never know.

Most products come in a wide range of prices for a wide range of buyers. I don't give a thought to what others spend their money on or their buying choices.

I had a really cheap toaster than I bought in 1993 when I moved into my first house. Just last month the plastic handle that presses the bread down into the toaster broke off. I bought a new Kitchen Aid toaster for 49,99. I am certain that it will toast my bread just fine and hopeful last another 27 years.

It's hard to see the sign to the left of the toaster but,Yes that is €699 which is way over $700. The €499 is for the blender behind it. SMEG is the brand. Pretty but expensive.

I just want a simple toaster that toasts evenly so I tend to buy a low end, middle of the road, toaster. I only have toast or bagels occasionally so I don't need the higher end models that are offered.

I'd go without toast before I'd pay more than $50 for a two slice toaster.
