Toaster Oven recommendations?

t - worked fine until I sprayed the cranky dial with WD=40, after that it has always smoked when I turn it on.

LED bulbs often do not last nearly as long as they are supposed too, some less than incandescents.

WD-40 should never be used in anything electrical, people think it's some kind of miracle fix in a can.
And LED's lifespans are dependent on the manufacturer's quality control, along with the product's design.
Running them at or above their limits is poor design, and severely shortens their life.

WD-40 is a solvent. Decades ago I thought it could be used on anything and everything. Ended up destroying a lot of bearings, motors, pivots, fulcrums, ect.

Common misconception that it's oil, a lubricant, which it's not. I recall my appliance repair mentor years ago telling customers to never use it as such and to always follow-up WITH oil or other proper lubricant when using WD-40 to free-up a seized mechanism.

The internet has glorified the uses for WD-40, one website has a "1000 uses for WD-40" listing.
So with that said, since some people think the internet is the best place to go to for good information, the results are all over the map.
The "Don't believe everything you read or see on the 'net" is a reality, causing society to fall victim to misinformation and unsafe practices.

Advertising is just that advertising. If it gets sales up, do it any cost even if it means lies or negative attention.
