... is what we're currently not eating around here. It's sort of like hot bread, but not. A domestic appliance upgrade will occur shortly. Any recent experience with models/brands of toaster ovens to check out or avoid like the plague?

OH NOES! STOPTHEECONOBOX IS BACK!
It's a toaster. I just buy the cheapest one that doesn't feel like crap.
I just use a butane torch.
Toaster ovens as a rule are wicked cheesy appliances. If you find yourself using it often, I'd buy the best one I could find.
A good toaster on the other hand, is worth its weight in german auto parts. I've got a Cuisinart brand that's doing a good job for us.
Toasters are not a generational thing, some in every generation get them.
And the issue I'm trying to point out is that Toasters limit you in so many ways you might not be aware of. People judge!
They always have and they always will. One day you'll be on the wrong side of that judgemental line due to your Toaster. You don't know where and you don't know when. You don't even know if it will be a time that really matters to you, but it's going to happen.
My personal experience with Toasters from H.S. all the way up to present day is that people with Toasters aren't someone I'd like my daughter to marry. Even after getting to know people with Toasters I have found all of them to be lacking something. I do have friends who have Toasters, and that day to day exposure to them just reinforces my impressions.
That's MY personal experience. Yours may be different. I can only go by what I see and experience. It's a truism that you can't please everyone all the time, but you also shouldn't artificially limit yourself.
We all have choices to make in life, make the best choices you can.
Well, in completely rational terms, when toasters and ironing boards square off, you can almost guarantee some sort of short when compared with disco balls at a rate of 400 feet per second. If you were to calculate the formula for disposition with one's right foot, from there you would be able to determine whether the left lane on the highway would be in comparison with the shopping lane at the supermarket. It just really depends on some different factors:
If it is raining outside
If if feeds a family of 4
what the exchange rate is currently in Russia
If you can take into account these different factors when adjusting the antenna on the radio, you will be able to determine which toaster will comply with your specific needs.
I feel like i am judged for my toaster every day. Why should it matter? I still eat toast in the same manner that you do.
i know someone still useing there toaster oven they got as a wedding present. My grandparents. They just celebrated there 60th anniversary!

I buy the shiny one. I like shiny things.
There are good toasters and and E36 M3ty toasters.
Our last one rocked, but didn't survive 80 pounds of books landing on it while packing to move.
Our current one sucks. It's horribly, horribly inconsistent so you need to babysit the damn thing.
I have no idea how to tell which is which when buying one though.
I recently bought a brushed stainless Waring 4-slice model with a bagel setting. It makes pretty good, even toast. It wasn't too expensive (~$50) and I heartily recommend a 4-slice model since it assures that both you and your SO can enjoy warm toast at the same time. The bagel setting turns off half the elements so that the cut side gets nice and toasty while the crust side stays nice and chewy.

In reply to Duke:
Thanks, my next one will have a bagel setting. I was just ranting to my wife the other day about how we can put a Kenyan in the White House and we still haven't figured out how to not toast the bottom of a bagel. I stand corrected. Apparently we can toast a bagel properly, I just had cheap wedding guests.
I like this toaster:
USB powered Toast Printer...
Its what all the cool kids are doing these days...
You can get with this or you can get with that...
I was treating this thread as a joke... but then I found this. I will be immortalizing myself and/or anatomical parts of myself as soon as I find one on Amazon.
WTF has happened to GRM while I was gone?!
I propose a toast...to your next small kitchen appliance; may it live a long life and make delicious toasts and/or bagels. Cheers!
