Following on from a thread about soup and someone mentioned having a soupmaker. Got me thinking about useless gadgets we own that are meant to make life easier but actually don't. For example, someone bought us a gadget that cooks boiled eggs. Doesn't work properly and more faffing about than just putting them in a saucepan. So own up, what useless gadgets do you own? |

"I've had every kind of coffee machine known to man (and woman!) at some point in my life.
Stick to a kettle these days!
A"
I wouldn't be without my coffee machine. As long as I remember to set it before bed, I come down in the morning to freshly brewed coffee....leaving me free to shout at the kids  |

"A George Formby grill. Took twice as long to clean as it did to cook tea.  "
That's because you chose the wrong model, the Formby would only work with a cheesy smile and a banjo. Now if you'd bought a Foreman it would have been a knockout.... |

1) a mop that 'takes the effort out of mopping'.......how does that work then? Bit like the Sorcerer's Apprentice?
2) the hand-held electric can opener I got for Christmas- couldn't open an envelope. Doesn't even dent the tin. |

As someone that had to replace three juicers within two years I would definitely put most of them into the useless category but only because their not robust enough. It got to the stage that I thought I was going to get banned from returning them at Argos but every time the took back the now dead machine and offered replacements or refunds. |

You think you have tears? You should have seen mine when I spent an entire hour searching for it. It was only outside leaning on a lamp post waiting for a certain little lady to come by. I must be the only person with a grill that has a libido. |
