The Airoster was designed to be easy to clean with a shorter cook time while saving up on counter top space.
Design Challenge
To develop a solution for faster cook time while keeping the design under 6 inch width.
concept development
How it works
The fan pulls in air from the slots provided towards the base and pushes it through the heating coil above. The hot air travels between the walls of the toaster, which is then pushed through the tiny outlet holes directed towards the bread face.
This pressured hot air helps to provide equally toasted bread on both sides of the toast, in under a minute.
Design solution
Easily accessible crumb tray.
Ability to clean the walls since there is no exposed heating element.
Push to start/stop knob with a settings display so you know exactly what heat setting it is on every time you hit start.
Led lights to display surface heat to avoid touching the inner walls to clean while still hot.
Roller to pull the bread in or push it out halfway when done.
Prototype
A scaled down model was created out of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Plastic (ABS)
