After about 2 years the cheap $15 toaster from WalMart is trash. It worked
well for the time, but just did not hold up. I see toasters for $100 and
up. Seems a bit much for simple functions. Are they really better?

All we need is a 2 slice that can handle English muffins and bagels in
addition to regular bread.

I saw a Russell Hobbs for $39 that claims to be fast and emerge efficient
because the top closes with the bread inside. Nice, but I've been know to
crisp up a roll by laying it on top of the toaster.

Oh, and I'm NOT going to buy the $219 Dualit even if it is very good. .
