Fortunately it was toasted enough to be edible.  If it happened the

someone that would toast my bagel.  Then, I'd have to rush home while
still warm.

No toast needed tomorrow, having pancakes.  Amazon brings the new one

This one was a Kitchen Aid and only lasted 3 years.  Next one is a

I bought a toaster from Amazon about a year ago.  It's
ok, I just wish I had opted for a bit better one.  Toast
is ok, but the bottom 1/5th of the bread doesn't receive
any browning.  I can live with it, just wish it were a
tad better toaster.  It had spectacular reviews.
It replaced a 25-year-old or there abouts Hamilton Beach
toaster.  Both were/are wide slot models.
