A thermostat is the best analogy for negative feedback loops involved in primary drives because it regulates the temperature in a room by detecting a change from the set temperature and responding by either turning on or turning off the heating/cooling system. Similarly, negative feedback loops involved in primary drives detect deviations from a set-point (e.g. hunger, thirst) and respond by either increasing or decreasing the drive or motivation until the set point is reached. This is similar to a thermostat maintaining a set temperature in a room. A toaster, computer, and TV do not involve negative feedback loops in the same way as a thermostat or primary drives.
