We’re always on the lookout for a long toaster, and this digital from T-Fal fits the bill. The bagel function toasts the inside and gently warms the outside, and the defrost function makes one step toasting of frozen breads easy. The digital controls allow you to repeat the proper settings each time you use it — no more guessing, and the countdown timer lets you know how long it will be before the toast is ready. The extra-wide, self-adjusting slots are ideal for any bread thickness and ensure even toasting every time. At T-Fal TL6802002 4-Slice Digital Toaster

We’re always on the look out for the latest kitchen robot, and this robotic wet or dry mop bot navigates autonomously through a room and methodically cleans hard surface floors. The robotic cleaner uses widely available dry electrostatic or premoistened cloths that attach to the bottom of the robot and collect dust, dirt, and hair as the device courses linearly through a room or moves back-and-forth in a traditional mopping motion. Now we just need to get rid of our obsession with having a rug in our kitchen, and move to a bare floor so mop bot can do all the cleaning. At The Autonomous Wet/Dry Mop

We’re always on the lookout for storing leftovers from a BBQ, party, or just dinners where the kids don’t eat. These 3 polypropylene food-storage containers in 2/9-liter, 1/2-liter, and 1-liter sizes work with a handheld vacuum pump that removes moisture and air to lock in freshness. The high-resistance silicone gaskets provide airtight seal with snap-down side buckles. The best feature? They nest for convenient storing.

The Buechele Phonix is a stove top design that has a retractable hood. There are two sides to this design - on one side there’s a recirculating vent, the other, a warmer. On the back? A blackboard for leaving notes to those people in your kitchen life. We love the simple yet functional design paired with actual cooking action instead of a single cooking function that seems to dominate the design. Via Gizmodo at Beuchele

Sure - we have lots of bottle openers - but not a lightsaber bottle opener for the kitchen. If you need to bring out that inner chef and jedi in yourself, pop open a cool one while cooking with probably the coolest bottle opener this side of Naboo. At Lightsaber Bottle Opener

I love an appliance that multitasks, and this Magimix cuisine system seems to be all the rage in food processors/mixers right now. The Magimix is a food processor, mixer, citrus press, juice extractor, mandoline slicer, grater, mini chopper, and blender all in one. Is that all? It can’t walk the dog and put the kids to bed? It comes with a double blade and discs, a dough blade, 3 preparation bowls, spatula, storage case, storage holder, citrus press, cream whipper, and juice extractor. At Magimix Cuisine System

This looks like a great way to mince a lot of fresh herbs. You place herbs in the mill and then twist the handle. The blades mince the herbs quickly. I wonder whether it would work for garlic too? It is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning
