Razer (the crappy gaming peripheral company) launched a toaster that burnt patterns that as an April's food product a few years ago, then I think they even made a working prototype that burnt their logo into the bread. Popup style toaster though. Linus Tech tips did a video on it, if I'm not misremembering.
@@marko247 Your comment confused me for a second. Then it clicked. This is a rather surreal experience. It's nice to meet you though, other me. Congratulations on finding the other you. I hope I'm doing well over there. I'm not gonna lie, you had some rough times over here, but you survived, and you're doing pretty well now, all things considered. Good luck with the rest of life, and I'll see you back at the Cosmic Source when we finish being each other's selves.
Zippy tie cutty boy submitted a formal apology then left to retrieve the sword from his car. He was respectfully cremated in a custom made extra large Mitsubishi toaster.
Unsubstantiated rumor! I have it on good authority that he did not commit seppuku. He was last seen on a subway platform, wearing "Ribbons of Shame", and loudly professing his unforgivable sin of having poor skills at zip-tie clippage. PS: His wife divorced him as a direct result of the poor performance review that he received from his supervisor.
This video confirmed what i knew all along since the first time i saw this thing. The weird one-sided, brush-coated PCB, the trick with the wire zip tie... This thing comes straight out of a factory that normally produces japanese HiFi amplifiers. I'm not kidding, japanese amplifier manfucaturers have their own standards, tooling and personal for electronics manufacturing which were perfected in the early 90s or so and haven't changed since then. Just open some up, new or old, and you will find out what i mean. Even the idea, to create a 500$ toaster which seals and uniformly heats a friggin toast is so snobbish and absurd that it only can come out of the head of an audiophile. The fact that it actually works great can be attributed to the fact that it's a japanese audiophile tho.
Yup that circuit board looks exactly like my old mid 90's Mitsubishi CRT TV and VCR circuit boards. The TV had the schematics on it too, it allowed me to repair it once.
Can confirm, had to fix some Hitachi AC units and they had the exact same PCB designs. Seeing this comment now makes me respect Japanese engineering even more, their QA seems top notch.
Japanese Engineer: How many screws does it need to hold? Someone: We desinged it for 10, but it would probably work with 7 aswell. Japanese Engineer: Puts 15 screws in
German Engineer: Puts 13 screws in that cost $15 each, three different lengths and 4 different hex head sizes and 2 Torx, pre-tipped with special green thread sealant, 4 different torque specs, torqued clockwise partially three times radiating outwards. 2 billable labor hours per screw.
@@VanisherXP the iPhone actually has the opposite problem. They have way too many screws that use different obscure heads. Makes repair tedious. The components are also paired together meaning if one part is broken like the screen for example, you also need to replace the fingerprint scanner.
Hello from Japan! Not sure about the rest, but the blinking light’s text says, “blinking light means hot, careful” and the numbers for the bread thickness is kind of a standard here of how many slices per loaf, smaller number thicker slices... cheers, always nice to see your videos
Were you asleep in an underground bunker when that burger press craze happened? I mean I agree with you, but the rest of the world thinks we're nuts, apparently.
This is Echan from E Channel. Thank you to AVE for commenting. Thanks to this video, my video has been uploaded as a recommended video! Channel registration has increased thanks to AVE! I am extremely grateful. Thank you very much!
Nuovo lol, unbox therapy is commercials, if they don't pay they get bad review. If you think unbox therapy is an objective review, than i am sure you also faithfully hold the better business bureau to a similar integrity.🇺🇸
Delta Music 99% of youtube is this way. Though a huge amount of subscribers are bots from a paid service, many people did indeed capitalize on the feeble mind of its viewers
@@sumduma55 No need to marry a toaster (or a woman) to get a slice of toasted bread in the first place, though, so I'm not concerned if it is allowed or not. ;)
As someone with a Japanese background, I take major offense to your perverse and demeaning claim that there's a vending machine selling womens used undergarments on every street corner. It's every second street corner!
Years and years of taking things apart, and you've finally found the promised land. In a toaster. I don't know what I feel right now, but whatever it is, it feels right.
And I am here to celebrate this rare moment. ( Albiet I am a year late and missed the original celebration) ave actually liked it. My bucket list gets shorter.
I just love the level of detail on the silk screening on the circuit board, actually putting in the circuit diagram symbols on the backside so you can see what's on the other side without flipping the board.
Go visit Japan. the whole country is like that. They go out of their way to make life easier and be helpful for each other. sure theres always an exception but majority.
This was probably the most satisfying video I've seen of you tearing apart a product. That board was beautiful despite the solder looking a bit off, those braided wires omg. The fact that there was literally no glue? Omg that is amazing. Sometimes $500 will get you $500 worth of craftsmanship and this one truly shows
And by 21:00 our guy is nearly in tears, cant say I blame him tho, this just makes me more upset about all the planned obselece we deal with on literally everything we buy. I couldnt afford ANYTHING that's made to this standard... unless maybe everything was made to this standard... fuck... fucking garbage ass shit on every shelf... I'm gunna go wittle a spoon
"The moment you try to lift the toast with the blade" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! The reason of all Teflon coated pans dying!!!! 10/10 video and product design!
Only when you actually gouge the teflon. Don't get me wrong, I'm not recommending the use of OLFA's for your spatula, but in a pinch, in a shop, with gentle precision. Good to go.
Just in case anyone wants even more boring facts: [ ][ *][ o ][ Fr]: toast, frozen toast, w/topping, french toast [ 4 ][ 5 ][ 6 ][ 8 ]: which nth fraction of a loaf the slice is, 4th - 8th, or, 30mm, 24mm, 20mm, 15mm thick in numbers [ ]□[///]■[■]🕒: how it's done, soft, lightly done, normal, darker, crispy, "it's raw try again"(+45s) 点滅・高温注意: while blinking - caution hot START|STOP: start, stop, hold 3 sec to reset to defaults
I wish all companies had the integrity, pride, and work ethic of the best Japanese companies. Everything should be made to last. Reliable. Not engineered to fail.
It occurs to me that all the things you do on this channel, are the same things I got scolded for as a child. I could not stop myself from taking apart everything in the house. I wanted to understand how they all functioned. It's probably the very reason I love this stuff so much!
I for one follow the toasted to baked to fried progression, then follow the same path back fried to baked to toasted. The real question is, at what point your are willing to kill everybody in a 6 mile radius for a single chocolate covered Twinkie.
By this time, the employee who improperly cut that zip tie has been located. At present he is in front of the entire company, being given the opportunity to erase the shame he has brought to his colleagues.
"you can bypass it and burn down your house, or bypass it while waiting for the part to come, leave the part on your shelf for 12 months and have your house burn down anyways" i feel attacked.
The thickness scale is how many slices there are in a loaf. Japanese loaves are about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of a regular loaf of white bread in the west. A 4 slice loaf will be cut into 4 slices, an 8, the same size loaf with 8 slices. 8 is the size of 'toast' bread in most countries. 6 is about as big as you can fit in a normal toaster. 4 looks like a slice of bread in a 1950s cartoon. Bread thickness in Japan (and most of east Asia) is a standard like wire gauge.
I spent 20 years running an Engineering development lab in Japan for a major 'Merican company. Your description of the perfection of the country matches my experience. It is a wondrous place. I greatly admire the culture....and the food! Oh, speaking of food. $500 for the toaster, not as crazy as the $120 Giftable Cantaloupe!
I also love this aspect. But then you get to the insane red tape, the jobsworthism "the rules say this, we're technically compliant so fuck you" and it starts to get annoying. If you disagree, please fax your opinion to this number and we'll send our response by snail mail, to give you an appointment at our local office.
@@OutOfNamesToChoose Yes we should we are sometimes too similar especially with attention to detail and proud of our history with exception of the last world wars. I always feel at home when I arrive in Japan as s German from the wild south west where Bosch , Fedtool, Metabo, Fein, Hilti, Mercedes and Porsche all have their origin. But I do have a lot of Makita tools after I bought by mistake a awful green Bosch drill what a peace of junk I broke two of them within 2weeks. I dropped my Makita 3m from s scaffold and it got a small scratch in it done like the old germans respect.😂😂😂🇯🇵🇩🇪👍👍
He'll probably show it quickly during a preparation sequence of the CNC machine, as he opens it, burns his fingers on the hot toast and pours some beer on it to cool it down or something.
I’ve found the same to be true about working with Japanese guys, when something needs fixed they fix it first and sort out who’s going to be blamed later. Refreshing after a career of doing government work.
I've found that they can debate about fasteners and whatnot until they reach consensus and take months about it. In the West we just glue the fucking thing and be done with it.
I am incredibly baked and randomly stumbled upon this youtube video of a man disassembling a toaster and getting choked up about it. Oddly, I was going through the same emotions as I watched him parse apart the item and examine its design--SUBSCRIBED
the way that this unit was designed is beautiful, i certainly believe that all modern products for the price we as consumers pay should be designed with the attention to detail and ease of repair that this toaster unit was made with, it still confounds me that with the detail that many common products are considered irreparable due to how they are constructed, this toaster proves that they can
Sena Yea idk how that’d work outside this specific comment section. I’d be willing you wouldn’t be stripping her that night if your first question is “are you made in Japan”
An FYI on those thermal fuses (made by Klixon, Snap-Disc, Thermo-Disc, etc) if you ever trip one. Remove it, and lay it flat/shiny face down on a flat table or countertop. Lay your hand, palm down, over the fuse to where you can "catch" it between 2 fingers, and lift it up with your hand remaining flat/open. Then slap it down hard, keeping it as flat as you can, against the table/countertop. Most of the time this causes the bi-metallic switch element to snap back and reset itself. (You may have to "slap" it a time or two if it doesn't reset the first time). The good thing is it doesn't force it to permanently close, as if it was jumpered out. It actually resets and functions as it should. I messed with several of these and made them open up on high temperature, "slapped" them back to life, then checked them out against their temp rating. They opened up within the +/-% rating of the switches. (I ran my water heater a tad hotter than most, and my dishwasher would trip the high limit/thermal fuse a couple times per year. I later lowered the heater to a more normal temp, and it never tripped again). Anyway, it verks!
Oh my goodness it's so lovely watching AvE simply be in awe of a product he is tearing down, rather than ripping it to pieces as he rips it to pieces. Thank you Japan
The same company makes: space station modules, scanning electron microscopes, oil tankers and refineries, elevators, vehicles... Stands to reason they can make a half decent toaster.
@@thehorriblebright Not me... I bought a Mitsubishi Super VHS-HiFi vcr that distorted the sound on loud bass, making a clicking noise everytime the bass drum sounded. Checked two more at the store and all were that bad. Forgot it and went to a Sanyo SuperBeta HiFi 7250, which sound quality is astounding, even used it for live concert recording just before digital went the norm.
Thanks for sharing. The toaster in the video is a really nice piece of equipment. I have a Japanese hot water dispenser I am pretty pleased with. You might know already, but I recently read that Teflon was developed/discovered as an unexpected result from attempting to develop other synthetic materials. Its first application was using it to separate Uranium 235 from U-238 for the nuclear bombs in WWII.
I love the vastness of his intelligence sneaking past those filthy lips before he has a chance to stop it. It just blows me away how much knowledge this man contains in that coconut of his. Also, I don't think I have ever seen him show so much excitement for such quality engineering before this episode.
Back when I was a galley slave-boy, toast was made with fire and a certain amount of human adjustment to achieve the desired level of carbonisation. Not made by space-pixies or electrickery! What a time to be alive!
Everytime I go to take a 💩 I find myself falling down a rabbithole that ends with a Canadian man of great wisdom reminding me with witty and clever commentary that every tool I own was built to inevitably fail and in the end my legs have fallen asleep and I have a better understanding of Caesars last moments .... Dewalt they name is Brutus... Now to back to work ..
God, I love working on Japanese things so much. Electronics, yes, but especially early 90s Japanese cars. ...When they collide it's even better. I re-capped the ECU and gauge cluster in a 1993 Camry a few days ago and the circuit boards were all labeled with precision just like this thing. It brought tears to my eyes.
I'd like to see a teardown of a Zojirushi 'neuro-fuzzy' rice cooker. They're an extremely well-engineered consumer kitchen tool (with a price to match!)
The basic neuro-fuzzy ones are very simple. There is nothing much to see inside. The induction heating, pressure cooking ones might be more interesting.
@@Yonatan24 Average is relative to period and region. There were no rice cookers my family owned that didn't have issues with burning or a need to monitor where and when I was growing up. Even as an adult, most of my friends and co-workers who have cheap rice cookers hate and never used them because they were no more convenient than just using a pot on the stove.
14:50 Gold Star for me! Immediately recognized that as the same crap every toaster uses to heat. easy to deduce that there would be nichrome wire heating element in there. So fun to watch him reason through this stuff and generally very accurate. This case is on point the whole way through I ended up taking apart and rebuilding an espresso machine. not boiler type and a simple ukle pump. It was nicely put together and a joy to disassemble and reassemble. As though it were a project puzzle. The machine was prob from around early 2000 made by breville. Did same with a 2015 model or so of same brand but much more expensive model...it was a nightmare....example of difference the older entry level one was plates of stainless, the newer more expensive one was plastic with thin sheets of stainless, held on with little tabs that fold over lol
The craft in that toaster is amazing, not seen anything like it from a mass market company before. It makes the price appear great value in return. I love it, thanks for showing it. Wonderful Bob
Lmao. That's the blue collar canadian special my friend. If ya weren't a hoser you'd know bud. Spend 10 minutes on my zamboni and you'll start to speak the lingo eh.
Thanks for the video! I like how one of the last vidjo's was "You ain't hungry, you're bored' and the next intro is melted cheese sandwich snacks. Don't let the depths of pandemic despair pull you in :) Cheers Ave! Thanks for the pandemic entertainment / edjumacation.
Amn old story, this would probably be from the 1970's, when component manufacture was shifting from the US to Japan. A US electronics manufacturer decided to send a part order to see what these newish Japanese semiconductor makers. In the order was a standard specification for an acceptable defective part rate. This apparently confused the Japanese, as included in the shipment was an explanatory note: "We have packaged defective components separately. We hope that this pleases you."
If you are looking for another Japanese Toaster with a similarly absurd price tag to tear down, Japan's Balmuda Toaster Oven that was released four years ago was released in the US a few weeks ago at the sky high price tag of $329. Could be interesting to see a battle of the Japanese Toaster Ovens
"Hot pocket-y, chicken tendies, that sort of thing...will attack the silicone." AVE may very well be the only owner of a $500 toaster likely to defile said toaster with store-brand Chicken tendies.
Never in my jeezlus days of watching Uncle B take Aypart anything have i seen him so gushy gooey over a mechanical contraption. I think this isolation thing might be playing with his mind...
I just found out my neighbor watches your show too. He was recommending a tool and I said I don’t buy anything with out my favorite Canaderpian giving her the what for. We then proceeded to rattle off our favorite boltr sayings! Needless to say we are best friends now! we’re now building a bunk bed to make room for activitys.
Im a Sportscar enthusiast/tuner. When folks ask me what the best "quality" vehicles are; My first answer is always Japanese. They just make quality stuff made to last, especially their engines.. Great vijeo btw!
