Ngl that looks pretty cool. How are you supposed to use the steamer lid when the grittle isnt recessed? its practically flat

Looks cool, but each part is barely adequate for its intended function.
The toaster oven is too small for most serious toast oveners (4 cramped slices is too small), the coffee maker drips, the griddle is a sad afterthought.

You aren't THAT cramped for space.
Get a 6+ slice toaster oven and a standalone coffee machine.
You can easily cook eggs and sausage in a larger toaster oven.

this is genius! my toaster oven puts out sooo much wasted heat through the top... actually not wasted heat, it heats all the spices in the cabinet above them!

I store some of my cast iron on top of the toaster oven. I like that it regularly warms it up so there's no moisture issues. I once left a bag of bread too close to it and it melted to the side

Why would you need to toast 6 toasts at once? Do you eat cold toasts?

4 slice toaster ovens are unitaskers. They toast. Too small to do other things.
6+ slice toaster ovens can a lot of other stuff. Bake cakes, cupcakes, muffins, frozen pizzas, hot sandwiches...
4 slices of simultaneous toast is usually adequate, but 6 better suits the needs of my household.

If this worked it might be good for space saving in like a camper van or something.

It's a strong blender with build-in heating components. Pretty cool for soups or sth like that, but at current market price, not worth it in my eyes.

you're an idiot
the marketing teams of these gimmicky "scan the barcode and it cooks for you XD" are trying to make the consumer believe they are literally incapable of thinking for themselves
they want the consumer to be scared of working without a recipe fed to them on a bluetooth device that will be obsolete in 3 years so they have to buy the newest model and continue the cycle

they could cook for themselves using the same recipes in a conventional toaster/convection oven without the dumb gimmicky shit

cant wait until all these smart device companies can no longer afford the operating costs to keep their servers and shit online and begin charging customers to continue to use the products they paid for years ago. Or they'll just go out of business completely and leave you with a paper weight

Something like this seems to be meant for those really poor fuckers out there who don't even have a kitchen. I know some college/university dorms are still like that, or maybe if you live in a regular car/van.

honestly, the tovala doesn't offend me as much as it originally did. my husband saw an ad for it while we were scrolling through instagram together and was like WHOA that's awesome, i totally would have bought one of those when i was a bachelor.
looked it up, and it's only like $300, or $200 if you sign up to buy so many of their meals.
i'm not busy enough or a bad enough cook to justify such a purchase, but someone else out there is, and i can't begrudge them.

you and your husband are retards if you excuse the pure laziness of not reading a temperature and time off a box and turning the knob as being a 'bad cook'. even complete retard like your husband should be able to make a tv dinner without a meme scanner built into his fucking toaster

lol are you illiterate? i don't want one, i'm a good cook. him, though... poor thing, no knife skills at all.
i'm not referring to the "scan the frozen pizza" function, rather their expensive meal delivery system. good on whoever out there needs it that they're at least trying to eat their chicken and broccoli instead of ordering pizza again.

[Anonymous No.14661846]

It's pretty much the same price as a decent oven and works like one, just with an extra feature for lazy people. So it's hardly a waste.

A very good toaster oven of that size is usually around the $100 point.
This particular oven is $299.

Spending triple the money so that it can maybe automatically set the time and temperature for you?
Priceless.

Then go to a truck stop and spend the $35 on a 12 volt electric lunchbox, just like the truckers have been doing since the '90s.
And also go to walmart and get a butane stove from the camping section, again, like truckers have been doing since the '90s.
Thinking this fragile, underperforming 1500 watt 110 volt appliance is convenient when you need a $300 inverter plus another $200 in installation to power it is a sad fallacy.
