The toaster oven has far more uses than your average two-slot toaster, but it also requires a lot more counter space—which is problematic if you’re stuck with a tiny kitchen. You can either go to the hassle of stashing it away inside a cupboard when it’s not needed, or trade it in for Plus Minus Zero’s wonderfully compact vertical toaster oven—which isn’t too slim to accommodate your morning bagel.

If you’ve followed Technabob for any period of time, you know that we love our quirky Japanese gadgets around here. The latest weird and wacky gizmo to turn up from our friends to the East? Remote-controlled crabs.
