Sleek Console-Inspired Toasters

Xbox Releases a New Console-Themed Toaster Including User Profiles

— January 5, 2024 — Pop Culture
Xbox enthusiasts can extend their gaming passion to the breakfast table by purchasing the Xbox Series S-inspired two-slice toaster. Beyond mere toasting, this gadget promises the "Optimal Carb Experience" by perfectly toasting your slice of bread while imprinting the iconic Xbox logo onto its surface.

“No more breakfast-induced jump scares or trying to spread butter on bread that’s already gone cold because you were trying to find a good save point,” Microsoft says.

This high-tech toaster boasts user-friendly features such as a countdown timer and six adjustable heat levels to cater to individual toastiness preferences. The high-tech breakfast appliance supports multiple user profiles, allowing users to save their preferred heat settings. Enhancing convenience, the toaster includes an anti-jam setting for smooth bread and crumb ejection and a defrost button for quickly heating up frozen bagels.
