mrgan: Daring Fireball links to a sharp student redesign of the UK power plug, which reminds me of our toaster, the Breville Die-Cast. Pulling out this plug feels totally safe and sturdy. It’s a great little toaster overall, with really cool controls including a progress bar and the world’s best button: “A Bit More”. I love that plug Gruber linked to, in fact I think I tumbled it a while back but even more than that I love Neven’s toaster. I followed the Amazon link and found this wonderful review: Toaster arrived last weekend, have taken several days off from job to make toast. First, let’s just say how cool the thing looks and works. Yes, it is weighty, but I don’t carry it around much. But, it’s got these cool tech buttons that do all the heaviest work, like moving the toast up and down. Then there is that row of LEDs that flash to show how much toasting time remains. Also very cool! And it wasn’t until I read revies here that I understood what “bagel” settings were. This one has ‘em. “Lift and look” takes away some of the dark side of toasting, but is great for the anxiety-ridden. “A little bit more” is also fun, though there is no “little bit less”. Anyway great fun and great looks. I can’t wait to see how house-guests respond. I have to find a house-guest. and I immediately bought bread at Acme and found even toasting, slice after slice. The local sparrows were happy with the experiment and urged a repeat run.
