We have the same toaster we got for a wedding present 13 years ago. It was not an expensive model (probably $30). I didn't realize that this was an appliance category that was prone to failures.

They aren't. The last $5 toaster I bought has been working for 12+ years. There aren't many points of failure in a cheap toaster. Add fancy features and the story changes.
