Either I'm having insanely good luck or I have extremely low expectations of a toaster, but I genuinely don't understand how a toaster does "bad job". What wer

  Agreed 100%. We've been using a cheapo £10 tesco or argos one for the past few years. It toasts.. I used Dualit in various places, it does as good or bad a job, can't tell the difference. I love the Dualit idea, but in the end can't justify the price, not for this particular kitchen item.

  I have a ~20 years old Philips toaster cost around (1500 INR)20-30 dollars than. We don't use it every day, but I don't see what can go bad.

    Seconded. My Philips toaster is more than 30 years old and in the super cheap bracket. Every few years I have to shake out the bread remains and that's about all maintenance it gets. Works like a charm and the outcome is very predictable. Granted, I only use it for sliced toast bread. But I'm happy with the results.

  My biggest issue is with the lever. I have to push it down between 5 and 10 times before it will trigger, without fail. I've had this across most all toasters I've owned. My second biggest issue is related to the same mechanism: the "pop" is impotent and does nothing to eject what's being toasted. The most I can hope for is that I can manually push the lever up. The next biggest issue is with heating element distance. If there's anything that is wider than a slice of wonder bread it's going to get sizzled by the heating element. In the worst cases it causes smoke to be emitted for several runs afterwards.
