Your prototype toaster caught my eye as I was browsing through the internet for a toaster that would have the following characteristics:
1. The ability to access and remove all crumbs. (easy to clean).
2. Reliability and evenly browned toast.
3. Easy access to the toast without burning my fingers.

I really like the look of your toaster.
I learned a lot from peoples’ comments here about why it’s unlikely that I would ever find a toaster that is safe AND easy to clean.
(I never put anything on the toast before the toasting yet some crumbs always stick to the bottom of the toaster I have and are always slipping out onto the counter even if I remove and clean the crumb tray regularly.
I’m just an end user not a designer.
But I love simple and streamlined design.

Thanks and best of luck.
