There are still toasters made in the US, and in the UK.... many are the
conveyerized style. Search: <commercial toasters>

Hobart makes a beauty that will work well for home use but folks wont
like the price: http://tinyurl.com/3pcjw

I mean folks don't wanna spend more than $9.95 retail for a toaster but
they want it to be made by US wage earners... R U NUTZ!

A lot of small appliances are made by subsidarys of Salton, a UK
outfit... even the George Foreman grill. But it's difficult for
consumers to pinpoint where parts are manufactured and where assembly
takes place. Many major US Made products are of components
manufactured in all corners of the planet but assembled in the US.
Just complying with OSHA and the EPA creates issues that make it
impossible to manufacture many components in the US at any price.
