How do you find a good electric toaster?

     How frustrating it is to try to find a good toaster! So many are unfit for purpose it makes you wonder what planet the manufacturers are on. Some won't take an average slice of bread, some won't toast thick bread, some toast on one side of the bread but hardly toast on the other. For goodness sake! How difficult can it be to manufacturer a toaster that actually does the job that it's supposed to?
     Years ago, when obsolescence was not automatically built-in to electrical goods, you could get a toaster like the Swan brand, all shiny chrome and two-slice efficiency, and it cost about a fiver for a toaster that lasted for years and years. 
     I expect, (although there's no guarantee), that if you buy one of the very expensive toasters then it might do the job that it's supposed to. But we are like the millions of other folk who have to buy what we can afford, which is the averagely priced toasters around the £50 mark.
     And they say that the world has progressed!
