What is that? Like 100 Budweiser's?
Works out to about .56 Taylor Swifts.
Thanks, now could you convert that to American Standard lbs? /s
That’s about the weight of four, 20 lb bags of 9mm ammo
Ah! Finally a metric I can understand!
Still need it converted to freight trains, football fields and big macs
Wait I can't count that high can we visualize it with how many schools you can shoot up with those?
Whic is heavier than four, 20 lb bags of feathers. Because steel is heavier than feathers.

Hmmm tungsten. I learnt fro Scrooge McDuck that tungsten has a remarkable value per weight, no joke, and i am paying attention.
In 2018, assuming the side length is around 170cm this would be about 19.25 tons/m³ × 5m³ × $30000/ton = $2,887,500
Also this would mean that the studio floor is carrying ~100 tons on that spot the cube occupied, pretty strong.
Best I can do is $30

I hope it doesn't require a subscription or internet access
The old version didn't and some retailers still sell that.
We have found customers prefer the experience with the app! It is just the the experience without the app, but more modern. iOS only for now, but an Android version is expected soon!
I can't decide if I want to upvote for causing the visceral reaction to this comment, or down vote for the same.
I’ve been experiencing this dilemma a lot lately and I think we need a word for it.
Its not original but "appnauseum" comes to mind...

too bad. Mandatory Internet connection to enable the ai enhancement features, and as a bonus uses built in Infrared sensors to upload your walking habits straight to Palantir. Updates are 2gb each because what the hell are patches or deltas. Uses 24w on idle for some reason. Includes agentic ai!
So, how much does it cost?
It's 80 quid, innit?
Always about 30% more than you're expecting.
The app for this thing sucks tho
It will be unsupported in 6 months too.
Damn, they're gonna brick my block just like that?
Don’t brick my brick bro
I honestly don't know which is more real: The mere existence of an app for an inert hunk of metal, or the fact that it's a miserable user experience?

80 pound only? At that size? What, is it filled with sand?
Probably cheaper than solid steel, enshittification strikes again
Ever seen the inside of an Aero bar?
Deceptive marketing. The 80 lb model is the budget model, but the picture shows the much fancier 300 lb model.
Yeah, they switched production methods in the 90s to save on manufacturing costs.
Back in the 70s they were made from solid steel

Cool! Does it have AI? Also I want it to connect to a phone app, do not bring me an actual program, or a website (I don't understand what's a "browser", is it Google?), bring me an app! I'm fine with a subscription model, or if the cube starts leaking ooze onto the counter without it. It's also fine if the cube is expected to leak ooze two years from now, because some server thingamajig is gone.
/s obviously.
Steel?
When is someone gonna innovate, and develop the tech to do this with TUNGSTEN?

Hmm.... something about it, that's uh-...
I love how which devices get countertop space is a real reflection on culture around the world.
Here in the UK you can always find an electric kettle, without question. In Italy a Moka pot. In Japan a rice cooker.
It says a lot about what's important to people.
It's only really in the US that you see such a proliferation of hyper-specific gadgets. Smoothie maker, waffle maker, electric egg poacher, vegetable spiralizer...
I don't know if that says anything about American culture, or just that you guys have really big kitchens.
I've never seen any of those with permanent counter space in any American kitchen. I've never even heard of an electric egg poacher.

That's how I feel about airfryers when I already have a perfectly good convection oven.
Airfryers are just much faster to deal with smaller things. Less air to heat up before it reaches the desired temp.
Sometimes I use my oven for one thing and my air fryer for another thing at the same time.

Can I get it in red?
Yes, but if you have other red appliances, the shade of red won't match.
