Tim's Toasters Reviews 

I'm not easily impressed, and I cannot even remember the last time I was as impressed as I am now! Tim is a great guy to work with, and his diligence and artistry are unsurpassed. I thought my toaster was in fairly good condition when I sent it in, but man-oh-man, after Tim performed his magic, it has never looked better. Works like a charm too!

Toaster came back better than when it was born in 1953. Tim completely restored it and sent photos. He tested it (I just wonder how much toast he eats) and it worked right out of the box(es). This isn't an inexpensive project but labor costsoney. Well worth it. Nowy family will be battling over who gets the toaster.

I ordered a Sunbeam T20b from Tim a few months ago. The toaster arrived yesterday. However, not only was there a toaster, but also a time machine! When I put the bread in and it lowered automatically, I was instantly returned to when I was a little boy, fascinated by Grandma's Sunbeam Toaster, magically lowering bread, and raising a piece of toast! Tims work is artistic in every sense of the word! He communicates all through the process. It took some time, but that is to be expected. Art isn't rushed! We are so pleased with our beautiful "new" 72 year old toaster!

It is rare to find a businessman like Tim these days. He’s very much like the classic toasters we’ve all come to appreciate. Dependable, a pleasure to work with, and delivers superior results.

I had been looking for a toaster to replace the crappy one I had before when I saw an article about Tim's Toasters. I knew then my search was over. I wanted the same one my parents and grandparents had. Throughout the process, Tim kept in touch with updates. It took a while but it was well worth waiting for.
As soon as I unboxed my "new" T-20-B toaster, all I could say was WOW! Just fantastic work. It is just a stunning model. It's a 70 year old like-new toaster. It's exactly as I remember it as a kid. First thing I did was make some toast, and of course it was perfect.
The toaster is fantastic and we enjoy it everyday, not only for making toast, but just to look at the beautiful design.

Tim is truly an appliance artist. Even the box is a work of art. You can't go wrong buying one of these.

It was such a pleasure to work with Tim! I decided to invest in a “new” old toaster and I love it! It took a while to get it, but there is a waitlist because he does such a fantastic unique thing. My toaster is beautiful! Thank you Tim for the beautiful restoration, communication and trust.

Tim is just incredible, thank goodness for people like him! We sent to him my grandmother's 1953 Sunbeam toaster that my mother and my uncle gave her just after she was widowed. We have a very close Cajun family and there are precious few heirlooms passed down through ordinary families like ours, especially from a woman who raised two children on her own on a teacher's salary in the 1950's, so yes, a toaster can mean that much to someone. I'd confidently venture to say that there is no more trustworthy person out there for yours than Tim.
Thanks again, Tim!!

Tim is simply the BEST. The restoration takes time but he does keep you updated with the progress(with photos) and once you receive it, Tim goes the extra mile to include old advert, instruction, and packaging reproductions and it’s the attention to detail that gives you confidence in the restoration of the Sunbeam toaster!

Time rebuilt my Sunbeam toaster and I have to think it looks as good as new -- or even better! It works perfectly. Tim has kept me informed of his progress and sent many photos of the work in progress and parts used.

Another job well done by Tim! This is my third toaster Tim has done for me (don't ask). Can't speak high enough as to this savior of Sunbeam toasters!

Tim Wilson's work is incredible. The restoration of the Sunbeam toaster is magnificent. Thank you Tim, for all you have done!

My toaster is now a gorgeous centerpiece in my kitchen and it toasts beautifully. No more toast rudely popping out of the toaster and scaring you when you're staring at it... only gently rising toast, the way it was meant to be.

Everything about my experience with Tim's Toasters has been perfect!

Tim was awesome helping me to acquire a toaster for my grandpa's 93rd birthday that was the same as my grandparents wedding gift!

Tim was a wonderful discovery. He went way out of his way to help me with my problem. My T-20-B is restored to like-new condition. Tim’s a very busy man, but he took a lot of time out of his schedule to call me and explain what was going on and why I was having problems. Tim’s work is meticulous! I truly enjoyed his communications by email and speaking with him on the phone. It takes time to have your toaster restored, but definitely worth the wait. Thanks Tim!

Helped right over phone and fixed an issue in two seconds I couldn’t fix in two hours. Thanks for the help!

Great communication and a brilliant job. Tim explained the process to refurbish my thermostat assembly along with a photo of the replacement part needed.
Posting relatively fragile parts from Australia to the other side of the world can be an unsettling experience but Tim packed the part very well and it arrived in undamaged condition and looking like new.
I refitted the thermostat and my toaster now makes toast the way it should.
Thank you very much Tim, you have one very happy customer.

My parents had a Sunbeam toaster when I was growing up. I don't know what happened to that Sunbeam, but it didn't end up with me. I found one on eBay and Tim was able to restore it to perfection. He has given me a piece of my childhood back, and I will be forever grateful. I will treasure it forever.

Tim provided updates with photographs of my toaster in process. When it arrived it came carefully packaged in a box inside a box, with some complimentary Sunbeam original advertising reproductions. It was more than I expected. This is a pricey refurbishment but that's clearly because it is time consuming and painstaking. He treats each toaster like a work of art. The love he puts into his work shows and is worth every penny.

If you are as obsessed with your toaster as much as I am and wish that it was brand new, that is what Tim did to my 1950's toaster. The process takes a while, but I assure you it is worth the wait. Once your toaster is in the queue to be restored Tim is in regular communication with you, sending photos, and explaining what is happening. It's nice to be part of that experience. Highly recommend! I love my shiny "new" toaster.

Even though I didn't send in my toaster, Tim was very kind & willing to help troubleshoot with me over the phone as to why my rewired toaster was tripping the ground fault. We got it working with his expertise & there's no other person I'd trust or send it to for maintenance in the future than him!

I am thrilled with Tims restoration of my T-20B toaster! Absolutely stunning. Like new again and functions flawlessly. Tim told me beforehand what the wait time would be, sent me pictures when he started, regularly updated me during each step with more pictures. He's a very skilled, courteous and kind craftsman. I highly recommend him if you have one of these gems from the past.
