22 years ago: new toaster oven as wedding gift.  3 months later: oven died; I planned on fixing it as I assumed it was just a simple component failure.  In the meantime, we pulled out an old unopened (ergo, in the box-new) toaster my wife had inherited from her grandparents.  22 years later the chrome encased, thick woven cabled toaster needs an occasional emptying out, but otherwise goes on and on.  We&#x27;ll probably pass it on to one of our kids one day.
