is that the $400 juice bag squeezer?

>>20057893
It also connects to the internet.

>>20057893
It is. And way back then $400 was a heck of a lot of money.

>>20057909
Thanks Joe bidet

>a challenger appears

>>20057893
a 400 dollar machine that presses juice bags that you can squeeze them yourself. This is on top of the fact that the machine is overbuilt with parts that cost 3 times as much as the unit itself

>>20057933
Don't forget the part where it refuses to squeeze the bag if it's 1μs beyond the "Best Before" date.

>>20057938
and requires internet connection lmao

>>20057893
$400 + $45 a month sub + $10 per juice pack (one glass per pack, drm ensures it wont squeeze non-juicero packs)

>>20058059

No one needs anything more than grandma's old swing-a-way can opener.
inb4 larpers say hurrdurr all you need is an army can opener from the 1940s that takes 20 minutes to open a can. no one cares.

also why is your pic of a pull tab can being put in a can opener

>>20058105
>army can opener from the 1940s that takes 20 minutes to open a can
A P-38 can opener is basically the same opener fpund on many pocket folding knives and multitools. They don't take 20 minutes, more like 20 seconds. It's all I used for many years. It truly is all you need.

>>20058105
>>20058114
Do pull-ring tins not exist in your country?

>>20057933
Well if it's $400 and the parts are worth $1200 you'd be silly not to buy a few and sell the parts.

>>20058114
like I said, no one cares. those are meant for opening rations in a trench not larping like an army man while you open beans in your kitchen.

at least it kinda looks nice
there is a category of appliances that are completely unnecessarily expensive and cater exclusively to interior designers that have a massive budget to furnish a home
and that budget will never be audited or examined, beyond if everything looks sufficiently 'nice'
there's a large enough group of people with billions that there's a legit industry for making the thing with the biggest number attached to it to sell to the people with a big number
so long as it looks neat or does something novel

You need to understand, the women and homosexuals from "certain demographics" who run corporate marketing departments have more money than they know what to do with, and burning it in empty parking lots while laughing at the homeless eventually gets boring (believe it or not), so they need expensive gewgaws and trinkets like this to flex on us plebs, just absolutely pointless displays of conspicuous consumption.

Except, ironically, grandma, because of arthritis or other dexterity issues. That's why electric can openers exist.

>>20058485
well yeah, then you take grandma's swing-a-way and give her a cheap walmart electric can opener that will break in 3 months. it's a great way to start taking her good stuff before she dies and the rest of the buzzards in the family go for it.
also my grandmas never had an electric one even when they were old as fuck, my mom still uses one of the shitty swing-a-way knockoffs and she has really bad hand arthritis. for what it's worth

>>20058208
They make good tools

>>20058105
To show how retarded it is when people use electric can openers. There's literally a tab, just pull it.

>>20058105
I have a can opener that splits the seal instead of cutting into the can. I don't know what compels me to do it, but I was and modpodge fabric around the cleaned can and use it for various storage and give them away as weird gifts. Send help

Have people here never heard of the side opening can opener?
It's been around for at least a decade. Old school can openers are for boomers.

>>20058550
ONLY valid if you have limited real-estate in the kitchen, otherwise a good convection oven curb stomps it.

>>20058120
>Do pull-ring tins not exist in your country?
Even in the USA, not every product comes with pull-rings.
You would know this if you were over the age of 18, had a job, lived somewhere other than your parents' house, and had to cook for yourself. *smug*

>>20058120
Going through my cupboard, I have probably about a 50/50 mix of cans with and without pull tabs. Probably because I have a can opener, so I don't have to worry about buying things based upon their packaging.

>>20057782
To this day i still think this entire start-up was just a money laundering scheme.

Turning the fan on makes the heat distribution more even. You're ruining everything you cook by not using it.

How do you keep yours from getting rust?

>>20059933
I guess they're not wrong about it being a "conversation piece." But only if the conversation is "Can you get the regular salt shaker so I don't have to wait for your wife to pull out her goddamn phone to use it."

>>20058553
Why would I use that over a regular can opener?

>>20060108
It's a smoother cut, and grips the cut off piece to be carried away by the utensil instead of dropping the top into the can.

>>20058114
A P-38 is fine in an MRE but I'd hate having to use such a small one in the kitchen.
I have used something like pic related by whole life. Much larger and faster than a P-38. Not arthritis friendly, though.
Might send one to the Cobester one day just to see how he handles it.

>>20058587
That's about the blend I see in my pantry as well. The stuff you tend to see with a pull tab are things like fruit and soup, whereas things like tinned refried beans and veggies tend to not have a ring pull.

>>20058146
You don't have to use their packets, you can just buy any whole leaf green tea. This machine grinds the leaves and whisks the tea at the same time.

Still stupid, but at least not as stupid as your statement implies.

>>20060124
i bought a p38 when i was a poorfag and my ex and i needed a can opener. i think she wanted to punch me but i found it fun and offered to open all her cans with it so who was really in the wrong here

>>20057919
>shinji, if you wll not pilot the MANUMENT L(((eva))), then rei must

>>20057919
To be fair, machines that are stupidly expensive like this one are meant to be proof-of-concepts that only a handful of people would actually buy (and usually they're the sort of people to whom $20k isn't a lot of money, so it doesn't really matter if they're getting "scammed"). The worst offenders are applicances that are priced at a few hundred dollars, since they're often manufactured and sold in larger quantities despite being entirely unnecessary.

They are an essential step towards landlords and property builders making houses even smaller, because now the kitchen no longer needs to fit a proper oven inside.

>>20060991
I'm just glad that people are cooking meals at home instead of ordering pizzas.
If an air fryer can switch them from fast food to roasted chickens and vegetables I see that as a win.

my friends bought one, realised it's too small for making food for a family of 4,and never used it again.
now they are thinking about buying another one and using the two together instead of using THEIR BRAND NEW OVEN TO DO THE SAME THING.

>>20061003
You’re a good person. I am very glad that you feel better that the air fryers are eating better.

>>20060182
The bottom bit at least appears to be a magnetic stirrer with a custom-shaped stir-bar, and you can get those for pretty cheap.
>>20060730
I think that expensive toaster with the touch-screen on the front does that.

How the hell would you consider that "runaway"? The thing died faster than a sack of cats thrown into a river. It only sold a couple thousand units over the span of 3 years and it only lasted that long thanks to VCs that pumped a bunch of cash into the company.
If anything this was a prime example of the self correcting nature of capitalism when government stays the fuck out of it: VCs lost a shit load of money on a terrible idea, retards that bought it despite it being a terrible idea lost money, and the terrible idea died a laughing stock.
I think you have CDS.

Toaster ovens are just as fast and efficient. Only reason to get an "air fryer" is space issues.

>>20057919
I’ll defend this, because it’s advertised towards coffeefags who are way too deep in the hobby and willing to spend that much

but juicero? I remember juicero billboards in my city. They wanted everyone to buy it.

This kind of shit is so fucking retarded. Under-engineered and untested "smart" technology is everywhere nowadays.
