It is also important to be aware that there is huge sampling bias. All the 1950s artefacts that were fragile went to the junk heap a long time ago.

All of the toasters sold today will be in the junk heap within 10 years

To make such bold claims about all the toasters being produced today you must be quite the toaster enthusiast.

Although I admit to some scepticism. Seems likely that some toasters will turn out to be of high quality.

I just prefer buying things that will be durable and last a long time. All I can tell you about toasters these days is that none of those exist so I'm not interested in any of the ones that do.
