Do you have London Drugs in Ontario. They are our go-to place for small appliances (can you carry it home from the store? yes? then it is small). Most recent is about 3 years ago. Oster. Around $100.00 Our previous cheapy developed bad door closure. This one recently appeared to die all over, and then returned to life about 12 hours later. It is still working now, but who knows. We'd be willing to buy the same brand again when the time comes, but we always look at the sales.

Based on the actions of our DVD player from the hour of its purchase (about 8 years ago), I wouldn't have a Phillips anything, not even as a present.
