Great Toaster! I must get one

Looks nice

I like toasty’s

Can’t toast my bagel! Input element needs to be adjustable–like a clamshell that shuts over the bread (muffin, whatever)

Hmm, nice looking but the opening looks narrow.

Good luck putting anything but store-sliced bread through it. And forget about bagel halves.

Ah well.

Well it’s an interesting idea, but I prefer my toast to be hot when I butter it. By the looks of this, the leading part of the toast is going to be cold by the time the back edge is done.

Sux. Looks like it won’t toast anything that isn’t perfectly sized. Style over substance.

Looks cool, but my guess is that the toasted end will be all cold and hard before the back end even gets through the toaster…

Has anyone wondered how long it takes to have a toast ready with that thing ? Because if the answer is “more than one minute” (and I don’t believe it could be less) then one end of your toast will be cold while you will get burned by the other.

And what if you want to toast a thicker slice of bread… on half a croissant ? (yes, I’m french)

I like the design. It should accommodate toast of various widths. Perhaps a zipper like tapered teeth formation can spread apart but guard against little fingers.

I like it. I’d buy it if it was reasonably priced. Some will gripe that it only does one slice at a time, and that it only accommodates sliced bread (boo hoo, I can’t toast my bagel!). Some design tweaks and you could have two slots – one for bagels & one for sliced bread.

where can we buy them from?

I like it but where do we buy it?
I love how it looks easy to clean up, hate how dirty toasters get.

This is an awesome design. Thanks for the ingenuity.

Does it have a thickness adjustment and is it capable of toasting on one side only? Even if it doesn’t I am tempted to buy one.

i love this new toaster! Design perfect in every way!

what about items of different sizes wishing to be toasted, such as bagels or poptarts

“This toaster is designed to engage the user, re-invigorating the social context of toasting by questioning everything about what we toast with today…”

Sounds like a pretentious way to look at toast. How about questioning how I can make thick sliced toast or a bagel?

Cool Concept, does it work with Bagels, English Muffins or just a certain size of bread? It would be cool if he could work some way to have it spread peanut butter or jelly on it too…

Bad idea though. By the time the last of the toast is toasted, the leading edge will have cooled down. You want to toast the whole thing at once so you get hot buttered toast not crispy dried bread.

and like every other toaster it still scatters crumbs everywhere!

The only problem is that it won’t accept many differnt sizes of bread.

personally I prefer a “Wide Format” toaster so I can toast nice big chunks of Sourdough….

My main concern with this would be how long it takes. I wouldn`t want to eat a piece of toast that is hot on one end and cold on the other…

What about the bagels?

There are two issues I see with this toaster:

1. Because normal toasters heat the entire slice of bread at once, when it’s done, the entire thing is warm from the process. With this, as the top part comes out from the toasting area, it begins to cool down. Once the entire piece of bread is ejected from the toaster, the top will be lukewarm, while the bottom piping hot.

2. Again, as the toaster toasts the entire piece of bread at once, it can finish toasting relatively quickly. With this device, the toaster will have to spend at least double the time toasting. The argument “well it can just be hotter” doesn’t work because there’s a reason regular toasters don’t do it– if it’s a lot hotter, it will burn the surface and the inside will still be relatively cool.

I really love the design; I’m just wondering if it’s worth it. Maybe one that feeds through the width of the entire slice would work better.

Beautiful art, though!

Style over substance? They should call it the iToaster.

Okay, it’s cool looking, but the idea is basically just a re-upped version of the 1935 toast-o-lator: http://www.jitterbuzz.com/indtol.html

Not much new under the sun:

YES!

Can’t handle anything but “standard” storebought foam, er, ‘bread’.
The leading end will be cold before the trailing end has toasted.
Thank you sheeple, we’ve read that, over and over, please stop posting the same criticisms!

Typical case of form over function. For all the reasons already stated above, this is a poor toaster.

And if you want three pieces of toast? How long does that take?

Fantastic design,who gives a damn if it cant handle store bought, cut the crust off.
Can you advise me where we “down under dwellers” can purchase such a knockout toaster ?

Wow! Thats the prettiest thing that would ever be in my kitchen!

Hum, et pour toaster des demi-baguettes ? (hell, so a french can’t buy it!)

Oh great! The wife saw that picture and wants one now.

I happen to like the creation! It’s unique, ellegant, and handy. I love the sleek design!! Although some people have complained about the absence of being able to taost other various things such as poptarts, or bagels, or croissants I could really care less. I don’t like any of those items so I would buy one and I’m sure there are many more who would too…Nice product!!!

Wonderful, this toaster is really too space saving equipment.
I wonder where i can get this toaster. The sleek design
serves a modern trend. I want to get this!!
