True craftsmanship! Tim is a delightful person and proud of his craft. In a sea of products and services intended only to separate you from your money without actually making your life any better off, his Sunbeam repair and restoration service was refreshingly earnest and human! It's clear he loves what he does for the sake of it. He does not take for granted his strong position in a fairly niche market; he earned and maintains it!

If you are on the fence If you are on the fence, thinking about whether or not to use Tim's Toasters restoration service, you should absolutely do so! Tim's services are beyond the scope of anything I have ever experienced in the realm of restorations. His experience and insight is better than anything I could have done, simply because he has seen it all. When my T20-B arrived, I was speechless to behold the gleaming jewel that now adorns my countertop. I am certain that it looks and performs better than it ever had in 1955! This is not a rapid process because Tim has actual real life events to attend as well as his side toaster gig. But, hey! Toasters are not a life and death situation (unless a bathtub is involved), so I was fine waiting in the queue. It was totally worth it!

AMAZING This was such a great surprise to receive as a Christmas gift! My toaster looks better than expected and I can tell that it was very well cared for during the restoration process. The box, the instructions, photos, EVERYTHING is top of the line!! If this is something you are considering, I highly recommend Tim's Toasters.

Tim is truly an Artisan Technician… Tim is truly an Artisan Technician operating at the top of his game. These restorations are truly the Ferrari's of the toaster world and are really works of Art. In time, these toasters he has restored will be worth thousands of dollars as true collector items, so buy them while you can, there are only so many of these old world beauties left.

The toaster is beautiful The toaster is beautiful. And functional. It makes my life just a bit easier, and I appreciate that. Tim communicated well during the whole process. I got before/during/after photos of my toaster. Just keep in mind that it all takes time. It's not an online it in person store. Good things come to those who wait. It's a buy it for life toaster, and you won't get that anywhere else.
