mydogtigga··on Ask HN: What Toaster Are You Using?
The consumables are engineered to be replaced. The heating elements last 10 years. They are replaceable at USD10 each. The mechanical timer only lasts 20 years. Replaceable. USD 15. There's nothing else to fail. The design, brushed aluminium, is timeless. Cost of ownership less than 10USD per annum and GREEN.

I am old school. I bought a Chromed Dualit 4 slice (2 thick & 2 thin) toaster in 1992. You can take it apart and replace anything. It's 30 years old next year, I've replaced most of the innards. It works like a dream, an indestructible dream. But at GBP 200 you'll have to be sold on its aesthetics as well as it's engineering.
