Have you ever tried Cuisinart? We have a Cuisinart toaster (actually we have Cuisinart everything ), and its an excellent toaster.........does a great job. Our old toaster would always toast one side nicely, and leave the other side soggy, so I know how you feel.

We live in a new house that is less than 5 years old, and the appliances it came with are all excellent quality, so I really don't dislike any of them. We don't have a buzzer on our dryer either. When it ends the cycle, it beeps once, and that's it.............and because the laundry room is away from the rest of the house, we can't hear it too well either.

One thing I REALLY hate is our vacuum though. We really need to get a new one.
