Our old toaster died, after serving us well for 19 years. Or rather, it started behaving in dangerous ways (heating up so much that I could barely touch it, and burning bread instead of toasting it) so we were forced to retire it.

Here’s the new one. Transparent sides! It’s a bit gimmicky but also rather cool. It also gives more even results than the old one, so it’s actually an upgrade. A toaster is a toaster, I thought, it’s just aesthetics, how much can the results differ – but they do.

The build is very solid so hopefully it will last us as long as the previous one.
