Michael Sheafe, who specializes in vintage toaster repair, provided us with several used (but still-operational) toasters dating from about 1918 through the 1930s. So we decided to compare them against their predecessors. We wanted to better understand why modern toasters fail so easily-especially since we’ve heard from collectors that vintage toasters last for decades (video). It seems that modern toasters are the kitchen equivalent of printers-everything in the category is pretty crappy. Although good toasters (like the ones we recommend) might deliver perfectly golden results initially, over time they can start to serve up toast that’s pale, unevenly browned, or burned to an inedible crisp. We’re sorry to tell you that beautifully browned carbs catapulting out of a toaster and landing gracefully on a plate is something that exists only in TV commercials.
