The Great 'Which gadgets were your biggest waste of cash?' Hunt

• Bread maker - stuck on top of a cupboard
• Food Processor - takes up a full cupboard in kitchen with all its attachments

A simple hand whisk blender which cost less than a tenner & fits in a drawer is used far more frequently than either.

Are we going for Best Gadgets one week on here....I have dozens!! Paint Pod, Pineapple Corer !, Tabletop Dishwasher, Extending feather duster, handheld stairs vacuum.........

Toastie maker - used at uni in halls but its so much faff to use. Not sure where it's gone now, probably in the bin lol

Orange juice press - cost £16, hard to clean, half an orange is often too large and the juice goes everywhere, the number of oranges to get one glass is both expensive and takes a lot of effort, and it is quite a tall device.

Any tin opener that isn't one of the simple butterfly ones.

- several devices meant to open any or all bottles, jars etc. They don't.
- printers. Each works fine when new, then because they're used so seldom they cake up, conk out, but generally stop working.
- chip cutter (thing that looks a bit like a tennis racquet)

But good things that were definitely worth it
- George Forman grill, bought mainly for toasted sandwiches, but now used for sausages, fish, chips, onions, burgers, etc, etc, in fact the oven is feeling decidedly neglected since we got it.
- runner bean slicer
- boiled egg pricker
- wall mounted, hand operated tin opener.
The above three are decades old and really do their jobs.

The jury is still out on the dishwasher we recently acquired, it seems to me that by the time I've loaded it, I could have just washed the dishes and saved the electricity.
