This toaster represents a fundamental shift in the design of toasters it is the first environmentally sustainable toaster. It itoasts 20% faster and uses half the energy of a standard 900W toaster by having close-proximity low-temperature heating elements. If only one slice of bread it inserted then only one side of the toaster is turned on. It is also designed to be repaired if broken and disassembled at the end of its useful life. The window allows you to monitor the brownness of your toast and the Toast Drop system slides your toast straight onto a plate, ready to be eaten. It also features intuitive browning controls and turns on automatically when the front is closed.

Yummy, buttery, toast made in an environmentally friendly way.... what a sexy concept.

Another amazing concept design from the Yanko Site:

Toaster With Looks That Kill

The Nahamer T450 is the first environmentally sustainable toaster. It is 20% faster and uses half the energy of a standard 900W toaster by having close-proximity low-temperature heating elements. If only one slice of bread it inserted then only one side of the toaster is turned on. It is also designed to be repaired if broken and disassembled at the end of its useful life.

The first sustainable toaster on the market. I never knew I'd be considering my carbon footprint even while shopping for toasters! This baby is 20% faster than average toasters - yet uses half the energy thanks to it's close proximity-low temp combo of toast mastering. It also has a see-thru window so you can closely monitor the browning going on, and it drops your toast directly onto your plate underneath. No more fishing for toast! Yay! Also designed to be disassembled and recycled when it's toasting days are done.
