By the way, happy April Fools Day. Still, some April Fools Jokes come true...
- BreadSense mode that uses internal sensors to figure out the ideal heat setting and time for the bread you have inserted.
- The large touchscreen UI also allows you to tweak the settings to suit your personal taste.
- Toast settings can be saved and assigned to individuals. A finger-print sensor on the side identifies the user and automatically displays their personal presets.
- Additional presets and sandwich serving suggestions can be downloaded from the internet using the built-in WiFi connection.
- Users can share their own presets and recipes online too.
- Can connect to your phone via Bluetooth and upload reminders to buy more bread when you run out.
- The screen can display useful online information such as news headlines, weather forecasts and video feeds to keep you entertained and informed in the kitchen.
- Firmware updates are automatically downloaded and applied over the air to make sure you always have the latest features.
