Hmmm, a builtin waffle iron but no way to make a grilled cheese sandwich? The little woman's gonna need a sandwich maker.

It may well have a griddle. You just have to slide aside or lift out of the way the right panel. Now...where did they hide that trash can?

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) this kind of thing is like concept cars. Pretty, has some nifty ideas, but will never be realized as envisioned.
