I don’t know how many times I’ve been awaken out of a deep sleep when my washer or dryer goes off with that super-sonic blasting beep. It was even worse in the days where my mother and sister would do their laundry, with me, unsuspecting of the beeping, would be shocked out of my slumber.

Sure, it might be a real pain in the ass, but appliances never had a problem getting my ass out of bed, which is why I kinda see the point behind the Appliance Alarm Clocks. When the alarm goes off, the clocks will act like your everyday appliance, producing animated suds, shaking on its stubs, and making loud swishy noises. Possibly a nominee for the most extreme clocks you’ll never own? Get yours from between $17 and $20. (more…)

Those who’ve see Pee Wee’s Big Adventure will know that when it comes to breakfast preparation, Mr. Herman was on top of his game. While the average man among us might not be able to rig up a breakfast assembly line like Pee Wee, the Egg & Muffin Toaster is one step closer to the same sort of inventive meal making

The TEM4500 Egg & Muffin Toaster lovingly prepares a full breakfast, complete with two boiled or poached eggs, as well as 4 pieces of toasted bread, muffin, or what ever you can fit into the toaster’s extra wide slits, in an impressive 4 minutes, but not nearly as impressive as the fan-powered Heinz Beans And Toast Maker. Get yours for $60. — Andrew Dobrow
