That's a dick toast, they have to be pixelated in Japan

Today on the internet, I saw a man moved nearly to weeping by the build quality of a toaster.

Canadian rips into steaming Japanese beauty

This video confirmed what i knew all along since the first time i saw this thing. The weird one-sided, brush-coated PCB, the trick with the wire zip tie... This thing comes straight out of a factory that normally produces japanese HiFi amplifiers. I'm not kidding, japanese amplifier manfucaturers have their own standards, tooling and personal for electronics manufacturing which were perfected in the early 90s or so and haven't changed since then. Just open some up, new or old, and you will find out what i mean. Even the idea, to create a 500$ toaster which seals and uniformly heats a friggin toast is so snobbish and absurd that it only can come out of the head of an audiophile. The fact that it actually works great can be attributed to the fact that it's a japanese audiophile tho.

As someone with a Japanese background, I take major offense to your perverse and demeaning claim that there's a vending machine selling womens used undergarments on every street corner. It's every second street corner!

At start: a single slice toaster is the dumbest most useless machine ever. At 03:57 : OMG brilliant I need to get one!

Zippy tie cutty boy submitted a formal apology then left to retrieve the sword from his car. He was respectfully cremated in a custom made extra large Mitsubishi toaster.

Japanese Engineer: How many screws does it need to hold? Someone: We desinged it for 10, but it would probably work with 7 aswell. Japanese Engineer: Puts 15 screws in

Re: silicon oil - a $500 Japanese toaster probably wasn't made with hot pockets and chicken tendies in mind.

That flashing light literally says: "Flashing: High temperature caution" (点滅:高温注意) So just a boring lil' lawyer light.

This utensil would really benefit from a pair of googly eyes

Hello from Japan! Not sure about the rest, but the blinking light’s text says, “blinking light means hot, careful” and the numbers for the bread thickness is kind of a standard here of how many slices per loaf, smaller number thicker slices... cheers, always nice to see your videos

AvE: That ziptie is wrong! (somewhere in Japan, a factory worker commits seppuku)

By this time, the employee who improperly cut that zip tie has been located. At present he is in front of the entire company, being given the opportunity to erase the shame he has brought to his colleagues.

Ya can tell when the AvE is impressed, he actually swears less! Rectified? really?

"There is nothing on here that can not be fixed" This is what we need now and forever more.

I wish all companies had the integrity, pride, and work ethic of the best Japanese companies. Everything should be made to last. Reliable. Not engineered to fail.

After watching unbox therapy's video: "nah man this is stupid" 5 minutes in AvE's video: "where do I get one"

I can just imagine a Japanese man that worked on this product gushing over how much AvE liked the product.

I kind of need to see it back together, I just need to know it’s ok.

"you can bypass it and burn down your house, or bypass it while waiting for the part to come, leave the part on your shelf for 12 months and have your house burn down anyways" i feel attacked.

*Germany*: das bestest engineering *Japan*: hold my (culturally demanded obsessive attention to detail) chopsticks

Seeing a grown man in love with a toaster makes me shed a tear. Keep up the good work 😋

This is Echan from E Channel. Thank you to AVE for commenting. Thanks to this video, my video has been uploaded as a recommended video! Channel registration has increased thanks to AVE! I am extremely grateful. Thank you very much!

The thickness scale is how many slices there are in a loaf. Japanese loaves are about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of a regular loaf of white bread in the west. A 4 slice loaf will be cut into 4 slices, an 8, the same size loaf with 8 slices. 8 is the size of 'toast' bread in most countries. 6 is about as big as you can fit in a normal toaster. 4 looks like a slice of bread in a 1950s cartoon. Bread thickness in Japan (and most of east Asia) is a standard like wire gauge.

Never got fried bread from a toaster but have got toasted while frying.

Years and years of taking things apart, and you've finally found the promised land. In a toaster. I don't know what I feel right now, but whatever it is, it feels right.

"Hey Mister, wanna buy my thermistor?" Needs to be a t-shirt.

13:42 Wasn't that insulated solid conductor wire that was anchored with a ring terminal serving as a cable wrap?

How did I go from scoffing at a piece of overpriced toaster to wanting one thanks to that perfectly toasty bread...?

"The moment you try to lift the toast with the blade" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! The reason of all Teflon coated pans dying!!!! 10/10 video and product design!

" you put a hot pocket in that father mucker, boy howdy shut the front door" This is my new favorite thing to say

This guy is speaking english and I can't understand a word he's saying

I could understand from min 3 that ave loves this thing when he started closing the lid gentler

I never imagined that I'd ever watch a grown ass man get so excited about a toaster.

The day AvE fell in love with a toaster

It occurs to me that all the things you do on this channel, are the same things I got scolded for as a child. I could not stop myself from taking apart everything in the house. I wanted to understand how they all functioned. It's probably the very reason I love this stuff so much!

I’ve found the same to be true about working with Japanese guys, when something needs fixed they fix it first and sort out who’s going to be blamed later. Refreshing after a career of doing government work.

The precision almost brought a tear to the eye. That much attention to detail for a toaster. Bless those engineers.

This was probably the most satisfying video I've seen of you tearing apart a product. That board was beautiful despite the solder looking a bit off, those braided wires omg. The fact that there was literally no glue? Omg that is amazing. Sometimes $500 will get you $500 worth of craftsmanship and this one truly shows

I love the vastness of his intelligence sneaking past those filthy lips before he has a chance to stop it. It just blows me away how much knowledge this man contains in that coconut of his. Also, I don't think I have ever seen him show so much excitement for such quality engineering before this episode.

I just love the level of detail on the silk screening on the circuit board, actually putting in the circuit diagram symbols on the backside so you can see what's on the other side without flipping the board.

0:52 got so triggered, could have easily fit diagonally without taking the tip off :)

On this episode of BOLTR: AvE cries tears of joy while taking apart a toaster.

"Blacker than sh- oh, you can't say that anymore."

I spent 20 years running an Engineering development lab in Japan for a major 'Merican company. Your description of the perfection of the country matches my experience. It is a wondrous place. I greatly admire the culture....and the food! Oh, speaking of food. $500 for the toaster, not as crazy as the $120 Giftable Cantaloupe!

It's an TO-ST1-T from Mitsubishi, color retro brown. And yes that's the actual model number.

the way that this unit was designed is beautiful, i certainly believe that all modern products for the price we as consumers pay should be designed with the attention to detail and ease of repair that this toaster unit was made with, it still confounds me that with the detail that many common products are considered irreparable due to how they are constructed, this toaster proves that they can

An FYI on those thermal fuses (made by Klixon, Snap-Disc, Thermo-Disc, etc) if you ever trip one. Remove it, and lay it flat/shiny face down on a flat table or countertop. Lay your hand, palm down, over the fuse to where you can "catch" it between 2 fingers, and lift it up with your hand remaining flat/open. Then slap it down hard, keeping it as flat as you can, against the table/countertop. Most of the time this causes the bi-metallic switch element to snap back and reset itself. (You may have to "slap" it a time or two if it doesn't reset the first time). The good thing is it doesn't force it to permanently close, as if it was jumpered out. It actually resets and functions as it should. I messed with several of these and made them open up on high temperature, "slapped" them back to life, then checked them out against their temp rating. They opened up within the +/-% rating of the switches. (I ran my water heater a tad hotter than most, and my dishwasher would trip the high limit/thermal fuse a couple times per year. I later lowered the heater to a more normal temp, and it never tripped again). Anyway, it verks!

You missed the opportunity to say that the "FR" setting is for glass fiber reinforced bread. My favorite!

When a product is beautiful on the outside and the inside, you know it's made in Japan

Im a Sportscar enthusiast/tuner. When folks ask me what the best "quality" vehicles are; My first answer is always Japanese. They just make quality stuff made to last, especially their engines.. Great vijeo btw!

I am incredibly baked and randomly stumbled upon this youtube video of a man disassembling a toaster and getting choked up about it. Oddly, I was going through the same emotions as I watched him parse apart the item and examine its design--SUBSCRIBED

It's a Mitsubishi, "they built the planes that bombed Pearl Harbor." - Cotton, KotH.

The same company makes: space station modules, scanning electron microscopes, oil tankers and refineries, elevators, vehicles... Stands to reason they can make a half decent toaster.

"Hot pocket-y, chicken tendies, that sort of thing...will attack the silicone." AVE may very well be the only owner of a $500 toaster likely to defile said toaster with store-brand Chicken tendies.

+100 points for "She's a beaut, Clark!" Amazing movie.

The blinking light is 点滅: 高温注意 “When blinking: Caution, Hot”

Label says: In case of blinkenlights, no touching of the hot stuff

Man i love this guy. I truly believe he is naturally funny, much funnier than many many stand up comedians and actors.

It's says "blinking: caution high temperature"

Those crafty bastiges sure know how to engineer a toastie maker, I got hungry just watching the intro.

I'd like to see a teardown of a Zojirushi 'neuro-fuzzy' rice cooker. They're an extremely well-engineered consumer kitchen tool (with a price to match!)

Thanks for sharing. The toaster in the video is a really nice piece of equipment. I have a Japanese hot water dispenser I am pretty pleased with. You might know already, but I recently read that Teflon was developed/discovered as an unexpected result from attempting to develop other synthetic materials. Its first application was using it to separate Uranium 235 from U-238 for the nuclear bombs in WWII.

This has to be the happiest I have ever heard you when doing a BOLTR video. You genuinely sounded happy at every turn. Fantastic.

Everytime I go to take a 💩 I find myself falling down a rabbithole that ends with a Canadian man of great wisdom reminding me with witty and clever commentary that every tool I own was built to inevitably fail and in the end my legs have fallen asleep and I have a better understanding of Caesars last moments .... Dewalt they name is Brutus... Now to back to work ..

Ladies and gentlemen it's a rare occasion where AvE actually likes something!!

The craft in that toaster is amazing, not seen anything like it from a mass market company before. It makes the price appear great value in return. I love it, thanks for showing it. Wonderful Bob

The red wire with the ring terminal thing ;) to hold other wires in place was also very common in older Japanese electronic gear, too.

That's the most kind hearted teardown I've ever seen on this channel + you gave me a whole new appreciation for the J-A-pan! 🥃cheers🍻

AvE you are the best internet uncle a maladjusted 20 something could ask for.

I've only just discovered AvE's videos and am hooked. The quality of his videos are only matched by the comments section. Bravo to all. :)

Saturday morning, on lockdown, watching the dismantling of a toaster with an accompaniment of pep talk. It’s good to be alive

You know I can't help but think that the addition of some heating elements could turn the legendarily overbuilt Juicero into an epic panini press....

Back when I was a galley slave-boy, toast was made with fire and a certain amount of human adjustment to achieve the desired level of carbonisation. Not made by space-pixies or electrickery! What a time to be alive!

From what I've heard, this was mainly designed by one guy who had free time while working in Mitsubishi. He really liked toast in the morning. He showed it to the company, and they decided to bring it to market. So all that praise can mostly be directed at one guy.

AvE has finally reached the Food Show arc.

2:00 That's a disguised Nox button, just in case a Subaru toaster shows up

"I don't judge...except them. They suck." Worth the price of admission.

Cheers AvE! Got my decals in the mail I ordered off etsy the other day - awesome man! Thanks again from a fellow canuck. Maj

If you are looking for another Japanese Toaster with a similarly absurd price tag to tear down, Japan's Balmuda Toaster Oven that was released four years ago was released in the US a few weeks ago at the sky high price tag of $329. Could be interesting to see a battle of the Japanese Toaster Ovens

Starts ripping toaster apart. "I don't think it is a microwave."

Oh my goodness it's so lovely watching AvE simply be in awe of a product he is tearing down, rather than ripping it to pieces as he rips it to pieces. Thank you Japan

This passion for crafstmanship and well thought out engineering and design is nothing short of infectious

honestly you are so amusing and entertaining . thank you for lifting up my mood

Thank you for being the first person on KZfaq to actually review this thing and not just eat toast from it.

Amn old story, this would probably be from the 1970's, when component manufacture was shifting from the US to Japan. A US electronics manufacturer decided to send a part order to see what these newish Japanese semiconductor makers. In the order was a standard specification for an acceptable defective part rate. This apparently confused the Japanese, as included in the shipment was an explanatory note: "We have packaged defective components separately. We hope that this pleases you."

Oh my god man, your sense of humor hammers me every time

14:50 Gold Star for me! Immediately recognized that as the same crap every toaster uses to heat. easy to deduce that there would be nichrome wire heating element in there. So fun to watch him reason through this stuff and generally very accurate. This case is on point the whole way through I ended up taking apart and rebuilding an espresso machine. not boiler type and a simple ukle pump. It was nicely put together and a joy to disassemble and reassemble. As though it were a project puzzle. The machine was prob from around early 2000 made by breville. Did same with a 2015 model or so of same brand but much more expensive model...it was a nightmare....example of difference the older entry level one was plates of stainless, the newer more expensive one was plastic with thin sheets of stainless, held on with little tabs that fold over lol

"I would like four fried chickens and a Coke"

Never in my jeezlus days of watching Uncle B take Aypart anything have i seen him so gushy gooey over a mechanical contraption. I think this isolation thing might be playing with his mind...

The youtube subtitles have improved greatly. Always loved watching the robots interpretation of these videos

Really like your stuff. Your honest. And very knowledgeable. I hope this channel continues.

That red wire to "nothing at all" seems like a heat resist way to hold those wires in place.

Wait a minute.. he used it first THEN he took it apart?!

AvE waxing romantic and dare I say a tad bit poetic over a toaster? I can get on board with that. A well built tool is a well built tool.

That breakfast looks amazing: a truly heart-stopping experience

pixelated bread is just the real good stuff but it's Japan

It's a Japanese foreman grill?

Hey, Ave! Thank you for your advice at 19:45, that fuse was really the issue why the bottom heater wont heat. I owe you a beer!
