Williams -Sonoma 5 years ago. They would go through a Target type toaster in a month. They could not grasp the concept of NOT forcing the handle up when they felt it was time. I swear I went through six toasters.

It still works fine, and has no problems...but that toaster thing with elderly parents and when they latch on to an issue...
