This toaster:

Might as well link the Technology Connections video already.

Yes, it's an 18 minutes video on a 1950s toaster, you can thank me later.

It's Technology Connections.

It's always worth it. Because

His video on the wok induction heater had so much sass

I'm not even that interested in kitchenware (mostly) and I still enjoyed that video! Just goes to show how great he is. Hehe.

Same person made me appreciate my can opener

We had one of these. It was terrible. Spring force was super weak and slow and there was no lever to manually lift the toast if it got stuck.

I bought one of these toasters because of this video

I love mine, it's so gentle and civilized.
I wish they made a modern version with the adjustable slice width thing, it'd be perfect.

The popping sound is a feature, not a bug. How else can you tell if your toast is ready when you're doing something else when getting ready in the morning?
