The Antique Toaster that's Better than Yours [video] (youtube.com)

I am so excited every time I see a Technology Connections video. The things I've learned about the refrigeration cycle because of this person's keen curiosity. Incredible.


Sunbeam, in the mid-20th century, was king of the kitchen. I have, and still use routinely, a c. 1960 Sunbeam CG-1 waffle iron. But only because the thermostat on my even older Sunbeam W2 gave out. I admit that I tend to use my full-size Kenwood stand mixer instead of the Sunbeam Mixmaster Jr that's in the drawer, though that still works.


Why? Why will I hate my toaster? The video title tells me nothing. It's a completely uninteresting title. Looks like clickbait not worth watching.

EDIT: Op changed title, much better


The title does not (to me) seem to be advertising something to go out and buy. I do not imagine that the video will reveal something shocking. it does not look especially clickbaity. It looks sort of nerdy.

So, I am not to worried about marketing. Also, how is something antique better than something more modern that does not have much room for improvement. How have things changed over time. Titles are short so I do not expect to much detail.


The OP changed the post title. Originally it was pure clickbait.


What was the original title? I completely missed it and am a little curious.


It was “you will hate your toaster after watching this”. It’s actually a quote from the video and I found it funny, considering the content
