The 80 percent figure I found was from nearly 20 years ago. It's hard to find anything more recent. Moreover, I guess what I'm most interested in is in how many people have and regularly use a toaster today, and more specifically why. The counterspace tradeoff doesn't seem worth it to me, so I'm curious about other's use cases and opinions. I apologize if my initial premise came off as condescending.

But that would leave one lonely person with an answer, and rob us all of a scintillating discussion on a (gasp) discussion forum.

The post made me reflect on the fact that I have a toaster at all; I've used it vanishingly few times, and I only really own one because my parents have one.

Questions are seeds of a discussion; it's better to nurture them than to stomp them out.
