  Toasters either. They're so generic at this point that there can be no more features. It's just pick a size, and pick a color. Adding anything more to them would just be more things to fail over time.

  Im sure in the 1960s/70s the advertising for microwaves and toasters was everywhere. Probably refrigerators too, but at that point they were already standard. 
  Nowadays they are just standard household appliances, and everyone knows about them so no need to advertise or sell the idea of them to anyone.
  It seems like the 50s-70s was a very appliance innovative time. >
  
  It's true, microwaves are so easy to use that they don't need any ads! But if you want to make sure you're getting the best microwave for your needs, be sure to do your research and compare features before making a purchase.
