What gadgets do you have but rarely use?

[veggiechicken]

This is the opposite of BigMallly's thread! What gadgets have you bought that are a waste of space in your home, garage or garden - and I don't mean family members

Mine are :-
Iron,
Dishwasher
Electric Wok
Icecream maker
Slowcooker
Steamer
Video player and camera
Cassette player

I'm sure I have lots more

In the kitchen that would be my mandolin, but on the odd occasion it's used it is the only way to go

[Verinda]

An iron, an electric carving knife and a juicer, the juicer is heading for the charity shop, what a waste of time!

[Scarlet]

I'm sure I have lots more

Yep, you do! A mobile phone

[veggiechicken]

I knew that would come back to haunt me

Such a chatterbox

[Bill HH]

I have a mobile phone that I very rarely use, then when I do want to use it the battery is flat.
I have a bread maker but fresh bread gives me violent indigestion.
I have a sat nav, but rarely go anywhere.
I have a Canon 450D with loads of lenses but find I use my wife's pocket camera most.

Juicer
Toastie maker
Wii fit
Ipod speakers
Video camera
Like Bill, a good camera which is too bulky so I use a small point and shoot instead
Steam cleaner
Various home exercise machines
Iron

[Lisasbolt]

I do not own a iron, the creases fall out eventually

i very rarely use my hairdryer and if i do its not normally on hair

I threw away our juicer and deep fat fryer not that long ago
The toasty maker broke and i did not replace it.

Don't we buy some Carp?..............

I forgot about my exercise equipment till it was just mentioned so it's definitely my exercise bike & stepper machine,I used to use them all the time,I hang washing on them sometimes now,so I kind of use them. I have a wood sander gadget that I haven't used for about 10 years,it's good though,but I don't need to sand anything. I've got a couple of DVD players that don't work,never use them,I have no idea why I still have them & a VHS player doesn't work,I sound like a hoarder I just need to have a good clear out when time allows.

A cherry stoner. My OH bought it for stoning olives. I have used it and would do so again if the birds didn't eat my cherries before they're ripe. The trees are too big for me to net them.

DVD player - can't remember the last time we watched a DVD!

My late FIL has left cupboards full of gadgets that have either never been used, or rarely:
4 Deep fat fryers - only one of them used
7 DAB radios - all still boxed
9 Rechargeable drills
4 Reciprocal saws
3 Circular saws
2 Table saws
1 Air compressor that looks brand new
6 Flat screen TVs - he only ever used the one in the living room (which I haven't included), but had a TV in every room apart from the bathroom.
