This is literally designed to make the user's life easier. Regular toaster oven bottom hinges just CLUNK on the table. If you're not very careful when lowering or raising you can skim your hand or grab onto the hot part of the door. This allows you to slowly open it in a controlled manner, which both feels and is more secure, and works with the natural shape and orientation of the hand. Not to mention you can now install it in a raised position (above the table) without worrying about the top flopping down on you.
- albedoa 2y agoIt's such a strange article. They had to go out of their way to miss the utility. My bet is that they figured it out eventually but didn't want to admit it and have to throw away content.
- shiroiushi 2y agoAgreed, this article is dumb. These doors are obviously a big improvement over a regular toaster oven door. They're even conveniently mechanically linked, so opening one opens them both, so you don't need both hands, or to fumble with two separate doors. What's not to like? The only possible problem I can see is that french doors are harder to seal, because of the gap between the doors. That's why they weren't used on refrigerators until recently, when they invented some ways to mitigate that.
