Thanks--I'm taking it back. It's not that it is just unclear, it has kind of a "veil" hanging in it that settles on the bottom. Looks pretty disgusting, like something is decaying in there. I don't want to open it.

I just bought a bottle of walnut oil. I didn't notice the cloudiness in it until I got it home. Should I return it, or is this normal? The expiration date is five months from now (2/2013).

It was on the shelf, not refrigerated.

(Oops, obviously, I meant "walnut oil!)

I just tossed a Sunbeam after about two weeks of use. I've been looking at that egg-maker thing, which has actually gotten pretty good reviews for the toast. But I just ordered a single slot Hamilton Beach. Hope it works!

Brilliant idea! (I do love my Dyson vac.)

I've been online and on the phone for 2 hours trying to locate a Braun Multi-Toast or a Hamilton Beach 22408, both long slot models. I can't find either one anywhere. I've been on hold for Hamilton Customer Service for the past 20 minutes. Apparently they will sell them direct, but only through Customer Service via phone.

I SO hear you! I'm about to return my third toaster. After reading reviews, it sounded like this KitchenAid was going to solve the uneven toast problem, but it's just as bad as the cheap one I bought at WalMart. Why is it so hard for manufacturers to make a toaster that actually does the job? I'm tired of tossing out bread that's brown on one side and white on the other, and I'm tired of having to stand guard on it to turn it halfway through. As to those who say this is to be expected, all I can say is that I had a 2-slice toaster for over 15 years that toasted perfectly. Now none of them do. I suspect it has something to do with the fear that two elements heating side-by-side may be a fire hazard. I don't know. I'm going to give a single-slot toaster a try.
