Concept Toast-Dropping Toaster is Real After All: The Trapdoor Toaster

We gave the Nahamer T450 toaster concept design a big thumbs-up for its simplicity... but it turns out that there's actually a real toast-dropping versus toast-popping machine. The Trapdoor Toaster does exactly what it sounds like it does. It's a 1400W device, with auto-adjusting guide racks so it can do toast, bagels or pop-tart-style food. You simply slide in your food, and when it's done it slips out the bottom, and elegantly onto your plate. Out now for $79.95. [Hammacher Schlemmer]

Cordless Propane Mosquito Trap Gives You Al Fresco Bug Jerky

Effective over up to an acre of land, this battery-powered garden gadget allows you to commit mass mosquito-cide using a tank of propane. Silent and odorless, the trap emits octenol (something that mozzies find sexy, aspazzarently) to lure the beasties close to the machine. Once there, a vacuum gathers them into the "removable catch basin", or death pan, as I like to call it, where they are dehydrated, giving you the potential to serve mosquito, midge, black-fly and sand-fly biltong at your barbecues. Cost is $500, and the mosquito trap will run for up to three weeks on a 20-pound propane tank. [Hammacher Schlemmer]

Photograph-to-Digital-Picture Converter Sounds A Lot Like "Scanner"

Goofy gadget masters Hammacher Schlemmer are back at it again with a Photograph-to-Digital-Picture Converter that takes your old paper snapshots, and well, digitizes them. Now we know what you're thinking—isn't this just a scanner with a more complicated name?—and at first, I was inclined to agree. But digging deeper I found that this may not be a bad specialty box for $150. More »

Motorized Monocycle Eliminates Need for Pedals, Humility

This monocycle from rich man's playground catalogue Hammacher Schlemmer is a few phalluses short of a South Park episode, but I think even Mrs. Garrison would appreciate the fact that this 1869 throwback is now available at retail for a modest $12,999.95. And the best part? The wealthy sops whipping around the Hamptons on this thing won't even have to pedal, as this monocycle boasts a 31cc 1 1/2 horsepower engine. The lawnmower-esque four-stroke maxes out at modest 25 MPH but Hammacher promises its monocycle can still comfortably navigate on anything from pavement to grass to the backs of the common man.

Voice Interactive Alarm Clock Takes Orders From You

We have a jones for voice recognition, and of course, there's that clock fetish that we can't seem to shake, so here's an alarm clock that satisfies both: The Voice Interactive Alarm Clock can actually hear you when you tell it to shut the fuck up (well, in so many words). You can also ask the thing what time it is, tell it to play back a recorded memo, and command it to turn on a night light. If you want to snooze, you just say "snooze," and if you're really out of it, its display even shows you the day of the week. More »

Hammacher Rocks Banana-Like Electric Trike for One

We didn't realize Hammacher Schlemmer was in the car business, but look at this monstrosity: a semi-globular arrangement that looks like a transmogrified banana or maybe Pacman with a boner. If you can get past its dog-ugly countenance, it's actually a highway-legal three wheeler that might be useful for trips around town if you don't mind being laughed at. More »
