Thanks, now could you convert that to American Standard lbs? /s
That’s about the weight of four, 20 lb bags of 9mm ammo
Wait I can't count that high can we visualize it with how many schools you can shoot up with those?

What is that? Like 100 Budweiser's?
Works out to about .56 Taylor Swifts.

I hope it doesn't require a subscription or internet access
The old version didn't and some retailers still sell that.
We have found customers prefer the experience with the app! It is just the the experience without the app, but more modern. iOS only for now, but an Android version is expected soon!
I can't decide if I want to upvote for causing the visceral reaction to this comment, or down vote for the same.
I’ve been experiencing this dilemma a lot lately and I think we need a word for it.
Its not original but "appnauseum" comes to mind...

80 pound only? At that size? What, is it filled with sand?
Probably cheaper than solid steel, enshittification strikes again
Deceptive marketing. The 80 lb model is the budget model, but the picture shows the much fancier 300 lb model.
Yeah, they switched production methods in the 90s to save on manufacturing costs.
Back in the 70s they were made from solid steel
Solid stainless steel at that weight would be roughly 17 cm per side (assuming a cube), depending on the exact alloy.
There's no perfect reference scale, but the diagonal width of the cube is 60% the width of the drawer (by pixels). My kitchen drawer measures 40.5 cm, so the cube is some 24.5 cm across diagonally. A 17 cm cube would be just over 24 cm. I did a lot of rounding at every step, but it seems to check out pretty darn well.

The app for this thing sucks tho
It will be unsupported in 6 months too.
Damn, they're gonna brick my block just like that?
Don’t brick my brick bro
You just know it would have a subscription and always online requirement
If at any point, one is not met, it just phases out of existence

Awesome I was looking for a wedding gift
Easiest baby shower evaaa
Cool! Does it have AI? Also I want it to connect to a phone app, do not bring me an actual program, or a website (I don't understand what's a "browser", is it Google?), bring me an app! I'm fine with a subscription model, or if the cube starts leaking ooze onto the counter without it. It's also fine if the cube is expected to leak ooze two years from now, because some server thingamajig is gone.
/s obviously.
Steel?
When is someone gonna innovate, and develop the tech to do this with TUNGSTEN?

I love how which devices get countertop space is a real reflection on culture around the world.
Here in the UK you can always find an electric kettle, without question. In Italy a Moka pot. In Japan a rice cooker.
It says a lot about what's important to people.
It's only really in the US that you see such a proliferation of hyper-specific gadgets. Smoothie maker, waffle maker, electric egg poacher, vegetable spiralizer...
I don't know if that says anything about American culture, or just that you guys have really big kitchens.
I've never seen any of those with permanent counter space in any American kitchen. I've never even heard of an electric egg poacher.

The volume and depth of modern Japanese kitchen gadgetry puts America to shame.
Japan records centuries of history with specialized tools for making ceremonial beverages and foods.
So to your point: I think kitchen gadgets speak to highly consumerist cultures.

Yeah I think my wife bought this already
That's how I feel about airfryers when I already have a perfectly good convection oven.
Airfryers are just much faster to deal with smaller things. Less air to heat up before it reaches the desired temp.

I used to have a bread machine about that size.
Can I get it in red?
Yes, but if you have other red appliances, the shade of red won't match.

Does it make ice?
No, but it can crush it.
At least you can stick kitchen magnets to it.
Narrator: You can't.
The key is the attachments. The pasta maker is decent, the grinder is great. Honestly, while I don’t use it weekly I certainly use it monthly.
Hmm.... something about it, that's uh-...
