The Breville VTT377 4-Slice Toaster features six ¿toast settings¿, ¿independent slot operation¿, ¿high-lift¿, ¿cancel¿, ¿defrost¿ and ¿reheat¿ functions, plus ¿variable browning¿ and ¿illuminated controls¿. They could have called it a toastiere.
Are all the added functions on familiar household products really helpful or do they just get in the way?
THE modern washing machine has a dozen or more cycles that no one has ever used. The “baby cycle”, for example, aimed, presumably, at parents too lazy to wash their babies in the bath. Or, quoting now from a variety of machines, the “duvet”, “sports”, “bed and bath”, “reduced creases”, “allergy” and “freshen up” cycles. As in “I’m just going to hop in the washing machine and freshen up.” (Yes, I realise it freshens up clothes, not people, but I bet no one has ever used it non-ironically.)
