Just buy the Mitsubishi toaster for 400$ 😂

Imma just get a battery and use it as a phone

I’ve got this toaster and it’s not great. After a few months it often doesn’t turn on the heaters and requires a reboot. Kind if annoying considering the cost

digital dementia

The Nintendo Switch oled is a better toaster

Technology Connections fan +1

Yea I was just thinking that too

Will be painful for Alec to buy TWO of them just to be able to disassemble one of the 400 dollar toasters.

He even did a video called "How to design an actually good toaster with lessons from the 1940's" and yet they screwed it up.

@@MrJleonp at the time I think they were worth a lot less

This is exactly the demographic they are looking for It's a conversation started in the break room and no one in their right mind would spend their own money on this But company money is a different story

Same would love for the office just as a conversation piece but would not even consider at home

Sarah can toast the toaster company better than their toaster can toast bread.

No, whoever designed a $400 toaster that can't toast bread wrecked this company's aspirations. Sarah just put a video of it on youtube.

For sure. I vote Sarah for all product reviews from now on.

They probably did that themselves with the $400 pricetag, but if you're receiving bad news about your product, you could do much worse than having Sarah deliver it

hello fellow Technology Connections enjoyer

In japan it peaked a couple years ago with the Mitsubishi TO-ST1-T.

Technology connections fan as well?

@@FoxMccloud42 now THAT's a toaster for short circuit

Mitsubishi would like to have a word with you.

Hahaha Photonic Induction style 👍

@@BlahBleeBlahBlah where has he gone, its been a year since the last yt post

Let me guess. Your $20 toaster has a physical dial on it that allows you to pick settings between the numbers.

Lol

Fully toasted apartment in 10 minutes flat.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking about that during this video.

This toaster is still just a timer

I just watched a video on the radiant control toaster. That is a technological masterpiece. This itoaster can't compete.

Automatic Beyond Belief!!

Came here to say just that..

If you like old school toasters then look up the Sunbeam toaster from the 50s

Yes, I like the way she say bagel lmao

i agree

I know she’s cute right

She's unbearable imo. But w/e..

Bought one of those and I totally recommend it. Worth the hundred bucks on ebay no question!

I am so happy about seeing so many Technology Connections comments here in this video !! :DDD

YEAH TOASTER SUPREMACY!

I'm going to quibble slightly and say that it's not a sensor in the sense that most people imagine (the toaster is a purely electromechanical devices with no processors to speak of). It uses a bimetallic strip to sense the temperature of the bread in the same way that many old thermostats did.

@@daedalusspacegames a sensor isn't necessarily electronic in nature. It is simply something that does something when conditions are met.

Right? Like even my 20 dollar CAD toaster has more even browning.

I would return the toaster with the half toasted bread still in it.

2022 is the year of disappointment

Seriously, how come they messed that up. Mind boggling.

Gotta use the official _bread_ too! 🍞

@@Avendesora oh I’m so dumb, never mind lol

This is a dumb toaster-- in every sense

I saw that too, it did look like a great toaster

Exactly this! Since this episode I am on the look for toaster that uses this technology... without results so far?

Wouldn't this basically be a dumb toaster with a touch screen?

They were so good together!

honestly if Taran was still working at LTT, they would be the perfect Misfit Trio

it does make me wonder who are the besties in the office

A LTT double act I didn't know I needed.

Yes, this

True

I remember seeing that on Technology Connections. I was amazed by it

Retro or not it's just a toaster lol

@@manoz6194 Get it man. Trust me it worth the hundred bucks on ebay!

B-b-bbbbut, it's smart!!!!! Don't you want a toaster that calls home?

cuz it has a tablet on the front, you can run doom while you wait for your unevenly burnt bread

They'll also continue to work if the wifi goes down, if the manufacturer goes bust, if app doesn't get updatedm, if the vendor drops support in 3 years time and is unlikely to get ever get hacked or bricked. Basically, it's vastly superior

I'd say heterogeneity is good, but it's advertised to toast more even

I’ve had it for about a year. Bought it just because it’s hilariously unnecessary. Mine works evenly so I’m not sure what that’s about.

This guy has the right idea

Great

Yes a 1000 x yes.

It doesn’t have wifi or firmware updates so can’t run Doom

when it makes toast it displays an attacking arch-vile

And then immediately goes "oooh 😮 it's got a X feature?", comes over and starts messing with it himself.

Horrible reliability of it too if you look at the reviews

It's sad when a toaster is better at getting roasted than roasting bread.

@@swecreations yikes

We need to buy him one so he can review it! Or Linus, can you send yours to him?

Crazy that still nothing can hold a candle to an over 70 year old toaster!

I ain't getting one of those for free

i dont care about the ux, but i 100% care about the homogeneous toasting. I think $100 for a toaster is still really expensive but at least it is the acceptable kind of expensive, 400 is just crazy....

Or it could be bought by apple and become the "iToaster" with icloud integration and sell for 400 :P

YOUR TOASTER SHOULD NOT NEED FIRMWARE

@@MrAcuriteOf1337 so you just want to hard code your toaster? Do you know what a pain it is to upgrade an EPROM in a toaster?

Yes but its NOT a 20 dollar toaster, you have to pay extra to get your toast with a gradient toast. That way its heterogeneous and each bite is different so you don't get bored.

@@ethelredhardrede1838 its not a bug, its a feature. 😂😂

@@MyckleMendoza Indeed, thank for making it clear.

It’s not stupid, it’s adva~anced.

@@ethelredhardrede1838 Your description is so perfectly bullshit enough for PR management to actually say that. Good job, dude.

It was as far back as the 1940s! I have one.

The Sunbeam wasn't cheap at the time it was manufactured and the reason why Toasters are backwards as you say is because Sunbeam patent the Technology and prevented it's proliferation. No adays the Sunbeam's tech is seen as too expensive for the cost to value ratio that toaster manufacturers want and we make do with "good enough".

Just wanted to chime in Technology Connections' video about this :)

I'm still using 60 year old appliances from my grandparents. I'm willing to bet that thing wouldn't last 5 years.

They should make a video comparing the old technology to this. I bet the Sunbeam wins.

There is a new episode of Talk Linked with both of them together

@@rowtag7837 Yeah, I saw it at then thus video, now I want more.

Riley and Horst together gave a chaotic/destructive twins energy in this video, they should host a WAN show or review a Framework laptop in front of Linus.

Was looking for this comment

Does a worse job than my $10 one I got from Walmart 3 years ago

thats what she said

She's chaotic good

getting behind Sarah is something I can 100% get behind.

Bring her back.

not color but it has a bi-metalic strip that turns off the heat when its up to a specific temprature in the toaster IIRC

My missus still can't get her head around the fact the second round of toast will be more toasted than the first because the toaster's already warm....

@@Bobis32 The bread reflects the heat and based on that the bimetallic strip opens the circuit

It's not the color, it measures the heat radiating from the bread's surface.

Jonathan Horst started talking about it at 12:16 but it got cut out

There should be a toast off and .. a jailbreak for doom to be running on this by the end of the week.

It's not really a tech thing though. It's just an appliance.

I’d like to see someone do pop tarts and toaster strudels with this one.

@@garystinten9339 If im buying a 400 toaster with a screen it better be DOOM approved.

Tbh I would consider spending $300 on a toaster if it meant I could have perfect toast every morning.

Linus would have a heart attack if he found out how much she spent on that toaster lol. 😂

Deffo returned haha

Imagine the company supplying the toaster only to have it trashed by the entire Linus crew

Can just imagine linus’s credit card bill is like ijustine’s first phone bill, it comes in a box.

771k views as of today... toaster paid for itself lol.

Very much this.

Horst (mac address guy) must be a fan as he mentions that particular toaster.

You gotta remember they were 500 dollar toasters. Appliances have become cheap commodities these days.

@@LegionRRTX man the people that are new are gonna have their brains fried by this.

Philips did one. Bought it about ten years ago for about $40 I think. A year later I saw it advertised as this amazing new thing and they wanted over $70 for it which made me laugh. Don't know if they still make them or if they anything similar in their product portfolio. Mine works well. It has a sensor that measures the "toastyness" by how much energy is reflected from the toast, much like the old SunBeam toasters only done electronically. It has a few "programs" for frozen toast, reheat and heating up buns on the rack that can be unfolded over the toaster, but frankly I can't be bothered to remember what the figures on those buttons mean. Also it doesn't have the nice lift mechanism that the SunBeam has, it's just the standard toast catapult if a little weak as the bread can't get much altitude. But it toasts well with predictable results and does it evenly on both sides and without that top to bottom gradient this $400 toaster had. Oh and one time when I tried to use it there was some kind of software glitch. Suddenly the heating elements got turned on, the LED's started blinking in different patterns, and then I pulled the cord. It only happened once, and I couldn't figure out why. My best guess is that it was some kind of self test that I triggered that was used at the factory to test all the functions. But that's just my guess. Still it was kind of interesting to see, and reminded me that there was some kind of micro processor in the toaster, which is pretty wild when you think about it. Would be fun to know what kind of processor it is and what the clock rate is. It certainly doesn't need much as all it does is read the IR sensor and compare to a value from a lookup table. Sensor feedback meet or exceed the value from the table and it kicks out the bread. Well there's some LED's that's showing how far the toasting has come but that's just about once per second so a clock rate in the kilohertz range would probably do fine, but odds are it's at least in the megahertz range as it seems hard to source anything much slower than that.

This, but also can we recognise the chaos energy of both Riley and Jonathan on camera at the same time?

Naw

Dad joke approved

Which is weird because a friend has one (one of the cheaper models) and it toasts the whole bread. Either the more expensive on is actually worse or their model is defective.

@@lumoneko299 well if this particular one is bad it means there’s some quality control issues. Also a bad sign for the brand. Either way, the half toast is very bad sign.

no its painful to watch
