My family had one of these, and they works as magically as the article suggests.

It died after a decade of use when a glass of water was accidentally tipped into it, causing earth leaks. I threw it out and went to buy another only to find they were nla. Alternatives, even expensive models, are primitive in comparison.

I too wonder why all toasters aren’t made this way.

Now I think about it, I was given this toaster when I moved out of home in 1981 -- it was already a couple of years old then. It lasted until the mid 2000s which was over 20 years. No wonder they don't make them any more.
