I doubt that it’s all that more space efficient to combine kitchen gadgets, but it can certainly save you a few precious counter plugs. The ikon by Breville combines your toaster with a kettle, the perfect breakfast machine for when your visiting friends from overseas ask for something other than your trademark Egg McMuffin on a plate. At US$130, it’s the same price as Breville’s LED-gauged standalone toaster. So before dropping any cash, decide if it’s more important for you to have hot water or a kitchen that glows as unnaturally bright as your entertainment centre. [product via Techfresh]

Breville is selling this US$130 high tech toaster. For that price, you get a stainless steel case, an LED indicator and slider that is as smooth as a DJ mixer’s cross fader, motorised lifts and clamps that are capable of 7 pounds of lift (yes), and electrical elements that are rated to last 90 years.
