How about we start with a toaster that toasts are repeatedly the same quality of toasted?
I literally never had one that would keep the same level of toastiness across multiple toasts done one after another

This can be easily accomplished by ensuring that each slice of bread has the exact same density and composition.

Meaning, it's not the toaster that is inconsistent.. it's the bread. It may be possible to overcome this with a variety of sensors that guage the bread's dimensions, mass, thickness, etc.. but, that begs the question. Would anyone actually pay hundreds of thousands for a toaster that could analyze Martian soil?

I expect slices of the same loaf to be of similar density and composition , if it’s toast bread then dimensions as well.
Really only thing that changes is starting parameters of the toaster, as it is already warm after toasting the first batch, rather than starting from cold

I'd be willing to bet that there is quite a big difference (relatively speaking) between each slice in both size and weight.

Also.. just for fun I found this :

I'm starting to feel like I was sold a bill of goods on sliced bread.
