There was nothing wrong with the old one, but I just felt like getting a new one.
We also bought a new kettle. Again, nothing wrong with the old one.
You see, we had built up about a zillion Super Points at our local Coop grocery store, and I was able to buy the toaster and kettle (already bought a new blender a couple of months ago) at significantly discounted prices.
As I see it: the discount brought the price down to only about 50% more than the stuff would cost in America!
Speaking of America...
The fine people at Kuhn Rikon (the manufacturer) obviously have America in mind as a potential market for their fine appliances.
Why else would they have put this ridiculous warning on top of the toaster? Just to be safe, I left it out on display all weekend.I'm happy to report that Mrs. TBF made toast this morning, and she didn't burn herself!
Let's hope I remember not to put my fingers inside the toaster.
