The last toaster I bought for myself was a big W brand 4 slice toaster, with 2 separate controls. It was about $25(ish) Plus it was able to toast the thicker slices of toast.
I have a sunbeam toaster I bought from Kmart, it has 2 long slots which I prefer over 4 small ones because I like to be able to toast Vienna and high tin bread.
I've got the Sunbeam Cafe series one Tanstar mentioned. Bought it after my Ikon died (Tan - are you peering through my kitchen windows and copying my kitchen appliances??? :-)
Anyways, DON'T get the Sunbeam one. It is so not worth the extra money. It is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow to cook toast. Did I mention it was slow? Seriously, ridiculously slow. It doesn't have the lift and peek function that the Ikon has either and I really miss that.
