[Shop-talk] toasters, under-cabinet

I suppose I could lie and say this toaster was in my shop...

toasters, under-cabinet 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have a Black & Decker Spacemaker Optima Horizontal Toaster in our kitchen. We like it because it is mounted to the bottom of the upper cabinets and does not take up any counter-top space.

It's dying. We'd like to get another one, but I think it was taken off the market. Apparently, people who can't read and follow installation directions were cleverly devising ways to catch their kitchens on fire.

Does anyone else make a toaster that mounts to the bottom of upper cabinets?

Alternatively, if we are stuck with buying a toaster that sits on the counter, what's a good one? We don't mind spending some money for something that will work well and last. Cheap crap need not apply.

We would want it to have the capacity to toast split bagels as well as sliced bread. A stay-cool outside would be nice, too, so "clumsy" here does not toast a bread-wrapper some sleepy morning.
