i'll stick to my $6 toaster. if someone invents a toaster that'll clean the bread crumbs automatically, then i'd consider spending more

That Breville power cord is a great design too (1st photo). Has a loop for easy extraction. Too bad it's patented and only available on Breville products.

@Mith: i never considered it important, but now sensuality is number one at my breakfast table...

Try putting a steak in.

@Soundman1402: Actually, it has to do with carbon particles and radioactive decay rates, and not heat.

That's the geekiest toaster I've ever seen. Very cool. Brian, if you don't want burnt toast, set the thing lower. Some people might like burnt toast, and if you were toasting, say, pumpernickle, a visual burn sensor would do no good.

After I burned a bagel in my POS toaster and set off the smoke alarm near my kitchen, I wondered why they can't put smoke-detector sensor technology in the toaster. When it sniffs smoke, instead of sounding an alarm, it ends the toast cycle. Must have something to do with the heat...

Funny that the warranty on a toaster with heaters that last 90 years, is 1 year. :)

Soundman1402

Yeah Toast!

The "Take a look" feature is the best and worst thing ever. I am always so curious about what my toast looks like that I would never keep it in long enough to heat up.

Benny Goldman

For a $130, that thing better make me one goddamn TASTY piece of toast!

@Brian Lam: Burnt toast, an excellent remedy for the all-nighter.

JustEaton

Does it also poke holes in your toast with lasers?

Hestika

I have a pretty bad-ass juicer and a excellent espresso machine by these guys. Good thing they were wedding gifts. Expensive is right.

Frakking toasters

LAME!

spend money on tech. not toast.

wooties

Nah, something like this only takes me 30 minutes. I pulled an all nighter so I slept in.

Brian Lam

So that's what you've been doing all afternoon Brian.

JustEaton

Maybe those 7 lbs of lift are for actual BBQ?

phreakincool

Did you see the way the toast comes slowly sliding out of the toaster.. and then slowly goes back in again?

Ive never seen breakfast this sensual before

Mith

WHAT?!?!? No USB power/input to Windows and Mac?

What a piece of shit!!!

se7a7n7

But does it run BSD or Linux?

phreakincool

The "A bit more" button might just be worth about 50% of the entire product. Which only makes it about 25% overpriced...

shenanigans61

What's the heaviest food you can think of to fit into that toaster slot?

Reilaos, Man of Destiny

So I guess my Dualit is no good now?

If you like your toast well enough to drop coin on this thing and if you have a Nokia S60 phone, Nokia would like to talk to you:

"Do you like technology? Do you like mobile phones? Do you like software? Do you like people? Do you like being the first to know about new technology? Do you like toast? "

@Xavoc: FRENCH TOAST!!!

jibbly

7 f*ing pounds???
So, you can send your toasts flying away? Because THAT would be cool.

Like killing someone with bits of toast. Hmmm homicidelicious!

@crazy0000: That peasant's fare is too coarse for mine delicate palate.

Reilaos, Man of Destiny

The best toaster I ever had was one I found one the side of the road. A bunch of household items had apparently fallen off a truck.

Galley

@Reilaos, Man of Destiny: A DUCK!

I grew up with a similar toaster.

It didn't have the LEDs of course, but it did raise and lower slowly.
Sunbeam was it?

That thing was extremely cool and we all mourned when it died.
Other toasters have come and gone since then, but none since have captured that coolness.

-until now of course! :D
Nice.

strider_mt2k

A block of concrete.

crazy0000

I BOUGHT ONE years ago. It's the best toaster EVER. Mine is a little older and lacks the buttons, but it DOES have the LED display and the ugly slider is a sexy dial. It looks nice on my counter and I don't have to eat shitty toast that is half burned and half untoasted.

It also beeps really loud when my toast is done. Now I can read all of the interesting gizmodo articles while my toast is being perfectly ripened without worrying if I'm going to miss out on the hotness required to melt the butter instantly.

mmm. Toast.

taiter

Seven pounds is just abrout right for your cheese bagel that melds with the toaster grill and catches fire.

JAV

You know they sell B&D toasters for $10, but I want this one for its geekiness.
I don't need a toaster to tell me when toast is done, and yo quiero!

Angryrider

$130 isn't shit go take a few of your friends for brunch in Manhatton - and I don't mean to Essex or the Sunburnt Cow place either.

vertigoh

This is one of those "money" brands. My roommates bought their 130 coffee grinder. And it has all the right line items on the box. But the stupid thing just grinds the coffee into this little container that they couldnt figure out how to not spill grounds all over the place so every time you pull it out you have to wipe down the counters. Really lame.

glipz

I got a GE at Wal-Mart for 30 bucks, and it makes toast perfectly, and it's chrome and looks good on the counter. For a hundred bucks more, I could have gotten motorized lift to replace the effort I use with my hand?

Nah.
