    That’s about the weight of four, 20 lb bags of 9mm ammo

    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.

    80 pound only? At that size? What, is it filled with sand?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    That's how I feel about airfryers when I already have a perfectly good convection oven.

    At least you can stick kitchen magnets to it.

    Narrator: You can't.

    Should be aluminum, way better at taking up space for its weight
