Tim's Toasters レビュー 

I bought a Sunbeam toaster that Tim restored and I love it! Thank you Tim!

I can not add much, since everyone else has written great reviews on Tim's outstanding Sunbeam toaster skills. And I agree with them. Our toaster. Nicknamed Mr. T has a place of honor on our kitchen counter top, and is making prefect toast.

Tim's restoration of our Sunbeam toaster was fantastic! The toaster is gorgeous, safe, grounded, and works exactly as designed.

Tim's communication was excellent, clear, timely, thorough, and kind. He kept me updated on every step and on his timeline.

Thank you again, Tim! I so appreciate you sharing your expertise. You are conscientious in word and deed. My family and I thank you!

It has been almost one year since purchasing my Sunbeam T-20 toaster and sending it off to Tim for restoration. The toaster continues to produce perfectly toasted bread and has become the centerpiece for breakfast.
During this time, we moved into our newly constructed house and after setting up the kitchen, we plugged in the toaster, and as soon as I dropped a slice into the toaster the outlet GFI tripped. In fact, it would trip any of the kitchen GFI outlets I tried. Sent the toaster off to Tim and he spent a great deal of time disassembling the toaster for inspection and found nothing wrong. Upon return, I tried the toaster at my sisters house and her GFI outlets had no problem. At this point I suspected the new construction GFI outlets may be bad. So, I purchased a different brand of GFI outlet (Leviton) to replace the original outlets (Eaton) in the new house. Plugged the toaster in, dropped a slice of bread into the slot, and it works perfectly!
As best we can tell, the Eaton GFI outlets don’t like the large current surge from these older toasters, as the heating elements draw several hundred watts more than modern toasters. Leviton, and possibly other manufacturers, apparently have a broader tolerance for this condition.
In any case, the toaster is used for breakfast toast almost every morning and continues working great, no issues. Tim did yeoman’s work troubleshooting this issue and it was a joy to work with him on this issue. If my toaster ever needs service or repair, Tim is the only person I’ll allow to lay hands on my toaster!
Thanks Tim!

I purchased a gently used 1953 T-20B toaster from eBay with the intent of sending it to Tim to restoration. From the start, he was extremely responsive and helpful. The overall process took several months as this is not a main job for Tim, rather a passion project. His attention to detail, thorough restoration process, and care to detail came through with every communication I had with him. We've had the toaster in use for several weeks now and couldn't be happier with the results. Consistent, even toasting. Quiet operation. No hiccups or issues. Thanks to Tim, I'm sure this toaster will outlive me.

My husband reached out to Tim to purchase and restore a Sunbeam toaster reminiscent of his childhood. His brother has his parent's original Sunbeam toaster, and Hubby wanted one too. Tim bought and restored a Sunbeam T-20-B with original manufacture date of 11/8/54. This toaster is beautiful and functional! It looks brand new; you'd never know it is almost 69 years old! Tim does amazing work and kept us well informed throughout the process. When the toaster arrived, it was superbly packaged to ensure no damage occurred during the shipping process. Oh yeah, and it makes perfect toast! Thanks Tim!!

The work is magnificent at a reasonable price! It is amazing that a toaster can be so many different things, a work of art, a connection to the past, a treasure box of memories, and ... a toaster... of unique design and function. Tim's work takes time; the wait is worth it! Have patience, and you will be greatly rewarded! If you get a chance to engage in an email conversation with Tim, take it! He's quite an interesting fellow - hard-working and deeply involved in his community. Thanks, Tim - to you and your Team for the revitalization of my T-20B!

Tim's Toasters is a fantastic company! A critical internal part of our beloved Sunbeam T35 broke. Tim has done lots of work to be able to replace the bimetallic strip with a new one. He did this work for us and we are back to REAL toast again!

My husband saw a news story about Tim and thought it was "so cool" that he restores vintage Sunbeam toasters. Hubby said that he'd love one of those toasters, but thought it would be hard to source one. Little did he know that I was planning on getting a toaster for his upcoming birthday!

The whole experience of buying one of Tim's restored toasters was phenomenal. Tim was very communicative throughout the entire 5 month process and updated the status of "my" toaster regularly via emails and pictures. Tim's enthusiasm and passion for bringing old Sunbeams to life were evident in his emails and finished product. My husband was thrilled to receive a pristine restored toaster on his birthday and shows off the toaster to everyone to this day.

10/10 recommend! Thanks so much, Tim!

Had my grandparents sunbeam restored to what looks like to me, better than new condition. Amazing quality of work and a pleasure to do business with.

First of all, words cannot express how happy we are with the new toaster! It is MAGNIFICENT! The work Tim did to restore it is next level artistic craftmanship. He is amazing! The presentation, the box, the poster, the personalized notes are so very wonderful and thoughtful, they brought tears to my eyes.
We have been in awe while looking at it on our kitchen counter and admiring it gleaming and sparkling. It was packed extremely well, and no damage at all.
Well, we just tried it for the first time, following all instructions and it work PERFECTLY! The best toast we have ever had! Reminds me fondly of my childhood at the breakfast table.

Tim, we do so appreciate your taking the time to work your magic on this toaster we now have!

Thank you, Tim, you have made us very happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Tim, you are one in a million! My Sunbeam is now better than brand new. Can’t say enough about the quality of work plus the outstanding communication you provided through the whole experience. All I can say is it was worth the wait. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Tim to restore my beloved Sunbeam toaster, and I must say that he did an outstanding job! From start to finish, Tim was a true professional, taking great care to ensure that every detail was perfect.

He was able to restore my toaster to its original beauty, and now it works better than ever before. Tim was also incredibly responsive throughout the process, answering all of my questions and keeping me updated every step of the way.

Overall, I am extremely impressed with Tim's work and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of toaster restoration services. If you're looking for a true expert who will go above and beyond to deliver amazing results, Tim is the person for you. Five stars all around!

I recently had my late in-laws' T-20B restored by Tim and his team as a surprise for my husband. He was speechless when he opened the box and has completely enjoyed having this memory of his childhood in perfect working order again. From start to finish of the restoration process, Tim was communicative and professional. I have been recommending Tim's Toasters to my friends and co-workers over the last few weeks and will continue to do so. Thanks!!

OMW! "Oh my word," as Granny used to say.
My new T-20-B Sunbeam toaster is a work of art (Deco) - American-Made artistry borne of a post-war industry that baked pride and longevity into their products.
My new T-20-B Sunbeam toaster has become an instant heirloom, to be included in my Will.
My new Sunbeam toaster arrived securely and carefully packaged befitting an heirloom. The instruction and note cards were much appreciated, as they prevented me from doing something stupid and perhaps unsafe in my haste for that first piece of golden brown toast.
In fact, I liked the professional packaging and enclosed cards and poster so much, that I'm keeping the personalized retro Sunbeam box and the instructions/note cards, the poster (to be framed) AND the toaster. They all add up to an over-the-top personal touch from Tim's Toasters.
Not only are Tim's Toasters First Class, but Tim was first rate in his communications with this potential and then satisfied customer. Tim made time to send photos of my toaster's restoration progress. The photos and now the toaster-in-hand are evident of Tim's dedicated craftsmanship and his attention to detail in rebirthing America's finest Mid-Century toaster.
Thanks again, Tim.
P.S. We'll be checking back in a couple decades to see if our Sunbeam needs a tuneup.

Ran across Tim’s website in Atomic Ranch magazine last year and called him to see if he could repair our toaster (was not a Sunbeam), he was very helpful but in the end the toaster was not repairable. So we went back to our modern day toaster and being unhappy with the way it toasted. My wife's birthday was fast approaching and I was late getting her a present..... So I thought of Tim's toasters and corresponded with Tim and lo and behold he had a powder coated T-20B and sent me pictures. He sent it 4 days before her birthday the toaster and it arrived just in time. It works perfectly and it looks stunning with our metallic grey appliances. Tim’s marvelous craftsmanship is a sight to behold, and the packaging in personalized reproduction boxing is a wonderful touch. Tim's excellent craftsmanship, attention to detail, and great communications are unsurpassed!
Finally, we LOVE our perfect toast every morning!

Not only was I exposed to the wonders of these toasters by an 3rd party article written about Tim but after buying one on ebay and shipping it to him directly without seeing it I knew I was going to receive a gem back and I was not mistaken! I'm a product weirdo so expect me to keep talking about Tim and his toasters every chance I get.

As you read through Tim's endless list of 5 Star reviews you may begin to wonder if anyone can be worthy of such endless praise and in this curiosity you aren't alone. I wondered the same thing before doing business with Tim and I definitely went into it with reserved yet reasonably high expectations. That being said, Tim has met and exceeded my expectations every single step of the way. From communications via email, to follow through on promises made, he is the genuine article and a breath of fresh air in today's modern society. While I didn't have my T20-B restored by Tim, I first purchased one of his new reproduction cords which is beautiful and looks great on my toaster and later I helped get my father's T20 back in action by having Tim install one of his newly re-engineered bimetallic blades into my thermostat. If you're decently handy and don't mind spending the time, you can remove your thermostat, send it to Tim and he will fit a brand new bimetallic blade, test it for perfect operation and send it back to you good as new. I just received mine a few days ago and got it installed yesterday afternoon. My dad's toaster was back up and running and he'll be so glad to have it back. I simply can't say enough about how great it has been dealing with Tim and clearly my experience and opinion is widely shared. If you have a toaster that needs restoration or need any help with your old Sunbeam, do not hesitate to reach out and trust Tim. He will absolutely take wonderful care of you and you'll be so glad that you did!

I was so excited for my toaster I decided to pick it up in person! I met Tim and his whole team. To say it was a phenomenal experience is truly an understatement. True warmth and caring, coupled with the incredible attention to a detailed restoration, sets this life experience apart from any other. Of course I will think of my Grandparents every time I use my Sunbeam, but I also know they would be very, very pleased knowing it was Tim that made it possible. Send him your Sunbeam and rest easy. It will be lovingly cared for!

The best experience ever. I was gifted my toaster and was so keen on getting fixed. I was pointed towards Tim Toasters by word of mouth from the vintage loving community in DFW. WORTH EVERY PENNY for his craftsmanship, and his ethics are refreshing in this hussle of a world. I feel so grateful my toaster is in tip top shape, no longer a fire hazard, and is sparkling inside and out! WELL WORTH THE WAIT! Thank you TIM'S TOASTERS!
