I bought a fancy shmancy toaster and it sucks, matches my mixer but ruins my sammiches.

Yeah, it feels like no matter how much I spend on stuff like toasters, air fryers, or blenders, they just aren't built like they were a couple of decades ago. It's a drag to go through appliances that shouldn't be disposable. Even high-end vaccums don't last as long as they should, and when they do need parts, they are difficult to repair. Miele even got bought out, iirc.
