Yeah a lot of modern toaster manufacturers are eeking profits out of cheaper components. But a lot are still repairable if it's not computerized. Consider taking it apart and repairing it!

For me the case melts much to easily on modern toasters.

Get a bagel stuck for 2 seconds and you get melted plastic.

That seems like a very specific problem. I've seen several toasters that don't have any heat-exposed case elements which are plastic

For something that uses a lot of power, gets very hot very quickly, and is constantly filled with flammable substances...you better be sure you know what you're doing.

Toasters really do seem to be going downhill. The last one I bought caught on fire the first time I used it.
