A toaster to charge your phone

Most multi-device charging solutions are kind of an eyesore, but we're all used to seeing a toaster sitting on a kitchen counter, right? That's the theory behind the Foaster, which camouflages a charging dock as a household appliance.

The inside of the Foaster can be configured with charging ports for whichever mobile devices you regularly use, be it microUSB, Lightning or even Apple's old dock connector. To charge a device you can simply stick it in one of the faux toaster's two top slots and the dock conveniently. It only needs a single connection to a wall outlet.

For larger devices that can't squeeze into the Foaster's top slots, pressing down on its fake lever actually causes the dock to spread apart, revealing two additional 2.4 amp slots for tablets to charge as well.

The Foaster is not available yet. But if you're interested, the Foaster website will happily take your contact details and keep you posted on when it's available for sale or pre-order.
