To save you doing the conversion, that's 36.3kg.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 24 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks, now could you convert that to American Standard lbs? /s

[–] guynamedzero@piefed.zeromedia.vip 58 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (3 children)

That’s about the weight of four, 20 lb bags of 9mm ammo

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 26 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah! Finally a metric I can understand!

Wait I can't count that high can we visualize it with how many schools you can shoot up with those?

What is that? Like 100 Budweiser's?

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 weeks ago

Works out to about .56 Taylor Swifts.

I hope it doesn't require a subscription or internet access

[–] Xylight@lemdro.id 7 points 4 weeks ago

too bad. Mandatory Internet connection to enable the ai enhancement features, and as a bonus uses built in Infrared sensors to upload your walking habits straight to Palantir. Updates are 2gb each because what the hell are patches or deltas. Uses 24w on idle for some reason. Includes agentic ai!

80 pound only? At that size? What, is it filled with sand?

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 51 points 4 weeks ago

Probably cheaper than solid steel, enshittification strikes again

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 18 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Deceptive marketing. The 80 lb model is the budget model, but the picture shows the much fancier 300 lb model.

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Yeah, they switched production methods in the 90s to save on manufacturing costs.

Back in the 70s they were made from solid steel

[–] radix@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

Solid stainless steel at that weight would be roughly 17 cm per side (assuming a cube), depending on the exact alloy.

There's no perfect reference scale, but the diagonal width of the cube is 60% the width of the drawer (by pixels). My kitchen drawer measures 40.5 cm, so the cube is some 24.5 cm across diagonally. A 17 cm cube would be just over 24 cm. I did a lot of rounding at every step, but it seems to check out pretty darn well.

The app for this thing sucks tho

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 19 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It will be unsupported in 6 months too.

Damn, they're gonna brick my block just like that?

[–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 9 points 4 weeks ago

Don’t brick my brick bro

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You just know it would have a subscription and always online requirement

If at any point, one is not met, it just phases out of existence

Easiest baby shower evaaa

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 17 points 4 weeks ago

Cool! Does it have AI? Also I want it to connect to a phone app, do not bring me an actual program, or a website (I don't understand what's a "browser", is it Google?), bring me an app! I'm fine with a subscription model, or if the cube starts leaking ooze onto the counter without it. It's also fine if the cube is expected to leak ooze two years from now, because some server thingamajig is gone.

/s obviously.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 16 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Steel?

When is someone gonna innovate, and develop the tech to do this with TUNGSTEN?

Yeah, but what attachments does it have?

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 10 points 4 weeks ago
[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

None. Though you can get another one that is almost, but not quite entirely the same as it to take up more space.

I love how which devices get countertop space is a real reflection on culture around the world.

Here in the UK you can always find an electric kettle, without question. In Italy a Moka pot. In Japan a rice cooker.

It says a lot about what's important to people.

It's only really in the US that you see such a proliferation of hyper-specific gadgets. Smoothie maker, waffle maker, electric egg poacher, vegetable spiralizer...

I don't know if that says anything about American culture, or just that you guys have really big kitchens.

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (3 children)

I've never seen any of those with permanent counter space in any American kitchen. I've never even heard of an electric egg poacher.

The volume and depth of modern Japanese kitchen gadgetry puts America to shame.

Japan records centuries of history with specialized tools for making ceremonial beverages and foods.

So to your point: I think kitchen gadgets speak to highly consumerist cultures.

Yeah I think my wife bought this already

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 10 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

So, how much does it cost?

Always about 30% more than you're expecting.

That's how I feel about airfryers when I already have a perfectly good convection oven.

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Airfryers are just much faster to deal with smaller things. Less air to heat up before it reaches the desired temp.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Sometimes I use my oven for one thing and my air fryer for another thing at the same time.

I used to have a bread machine about that size.

Yes, but if you have other red appliances, the shade of red won't match.

That looks like more than 80 pounds. Well, maybe it's hollow.

The key is the attachments. The pasta maker is decent, the grinder is great. Honestly, while I don’t use it weekly I certainly use it monthly.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Should be aluminum, way better at taking up space for its weight
