His benchmark toaster, giving noticeably better toast than the touchscreen rival.

Expensive and limited to two slices, but makes toast good enough that he has not used a normal toaster since.

A programmable heated dispenser that makes Nutella perfectly runny and takes the top S tier.

Cheap Balmuda copy that makes toast nearly as good at a quarter of the price.
