Yeah, my question after reading this is why can't I buy a modern version of this toaster? Would it be too expensive? Just seems odd.

- varelse 5y agoSeems like a PID could do all this and more personally. I suspect someone kickstarts exactly that in short order and then I buy one down the road after it ends up in e-tail because I never got that PID espresso maker so no more kickstarters for me.
- blibble 5y agothere's a lot of clever stuff in there that would make modern regulators nervous suspect making it compliant with modern electrical standards would be cost prohibitive
- agileAlligator 5y agoLots of people still use the Sunbeam to this date. All you need to do is replace the wiring and the plug with safer modern versions so that it is up to electrocution safety standards.
- Gigachad 5y agoBecause the current toasters work perfectly fine and are a tiny fraction of the complexity. Anyone who wants better toast than what the toaster makes will just butter and cook the bread on a grill.
