No Toaster “Made in USA”
10/16/08
I just discovered this site claiming to sell the Avanti T-Fal Toaster oven Made in USA. Toaster Oven When speaking with T-Fal, they stated that they DO NOT MAKE ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES in the US. Their official customer service comment was “you have to check the labeling on the box.” If you happen to find one with “Made in USA” label on it, it is likely an older model. There used to be a manufacturing site in Millville, NJ. It is now ONLY A DISTRIBUTION CENTER.
T-fal products can be found at Elder-Beerman, the Bon-Ton, Kitchen Collection, Amazon.com, Cooking.com, Chef’s Corner. Call to verify “made in usa” before buying on-line. Verify on box if buying at retail store.

I am still not able to find a Toaster. Click more, to see about Refurbished Toasters, Imported Options, Commercial Toasters, and those brands that are definitely not made in the USA.
Refurbished Toasters
Imported Options
Commercial Toaster made in USA
Not Made in USA
Refurbished
Toaster Central refurbishes American made toasters and sells them.
Made in UK
Dualit – (Assembled in UK, with parts from China)
Found at Comfort House
Made in France
Magimix, the only retailer in north America is chefscatalog
UPDATE***** A blogger shares that this toaster is now labeled “Made in CHINA”
Commercial Toasters
The Hobart brand and Star Manufacturing brand of commercial toasters ARE made in the USA. However, I’m not sure how many of us need that much toast! The price of these things are $600+. It appears that Hatco toasters are also made in the USA. The TPT-120 lists at about $160. I am inquiring for a confirmation.
These brands are definitely NOT made in the USA.

I have many happy customers who are looking to buy a toaster made in the U.S.A. I refurbish toasters made in America, (and waffle irons too) during the 1920s through the 1960s. And, they aren’t made of plastic and they are not made in China!

You have listed Kitchen Craft incorrectly for both product and place of business. We manufacture and sell top quality waterless, stainless steel cookware. You will find our products at such communmity events as fairs, festivals home shows. Our corporate office is located in Florida and our factory is in Wisconsin. WE ARE PROUD TO BE AMERICAN AND SELLING AMERICAN-MADE PRODUCTS!

I stand corrected. Kitchen Craft products sold at the http://www.cookforlife.com website are MADE IN THE USA. No toaster though…

Thanks, I found this helpful information.
I believe your information on Magimix Toasters is out of date — I just purchased one from Chef’s Catalog and it is identified as being “Made in China” on the bo and the body of the toaster.
Bummer!

Hatco makes very reasonably prices toasters in the US. Search the internet for Hatco Toasters.

Overstock.com allows you to narrow your search by “Made in the USA.” They list 5 toasters made in the USA – are these correct?

According to toaster.org, the last US toaster manufacturing plant was shut down in 1993. Therefore, except for some commercial brands, there are no toaster ovens currently being produced in the USA.

This is awfully frustrating. I am trying to find a toaster oven NOT made in china realizing that the only “toaster” made in USA is a wooden toy one. How sad…..
I will continue my search….. if you find a toaster oven NOT made in china please let me know about it! Thanks!

Overstock.com allows you to narrow your search for Made in USA toasters and returns 7 items. I bought one and when it arrived, Made in China clearly printed on side of box. I have just requested a refund!
