' AI Overview
The first electric toaster was invented in 1893 by Crompton & Company in England, but it was not commercially successful and had unreliable heating elements. The invention of nichrome wire by Albert Marsh in 1905 made reliable, high-temperature heating possible. The first commercially successful electric toaster was the General Electric model D-12 in 1909, which still required manual turning of the bread. The modern pop-up toaster was patented by Charles Strite in 1921 and introduced commercially as the Toastmaster in 1926.
Early Inventions
1893: Crompton & Company introduced the first stand-alone electric toaster, known as the Eclipse, but it was not very popular due to unreliable heating elements.
1905: Albert Marsh developed nichrome, a durable nickel-chromium alloy, which became the standard for heating elements in toasters and other appliances.
Commercial Success
1909: General Electric released the GE model D-12, the first commercially successful electric toaster. This design toasted one side of the bread at a time, requiring users to manually flip the slice.
The Pop-Up Toaster
1921: Charles Strite patented the first automatic, pop-up toaster, a revolutionary design that included a timer and a spring-loaded mechanism to eject the toast when it was done.
1926: The Waters-Genter Company introduced the Toastmaster, a redesigned version of Strite's invention, which became a massive success and helped establish the modern era of toaster appliances. '
