Re: Machines bought but of no use ...
icecream maker..too much trouble when you can buy icecream in any flavour.
Re: Machines bought but of no use …
TLK , have you guys used one? I have been seeing loads of adverts about steamer mops and was thinking of getting one coz they say it cleans the floors really well 
If steam isnt that strong a cleaner then maybe its not worth spending all that money …

I got two of those from different sources as wedding gifts .. they are aweful ... One was manual ..of which i have already lost the top bit and I am using the bottom pot as my dish washing liquid holder !
and the automated one , but again too much hassle to clean it .. so never used it , its just lying in the cabinet that i hardly open in five years !
Re: Machines bought but of no use ...
oh YES, one more item i just remembered. about 10 years ago, i bought a **'hand-held sewing machine'**** and gifted to my other Bhabhi in India. i saw it sitting in a corner of the house last year...i asked her if she ever used it? she said, "battery power runs out so fast...can't keep enuf batteries on hand" lol...so, *no matter how good these gadgets look on infomercials, they are practically useless!* :D**

My wife was telling me that steamer mop works, but the general puprose steamer where they show the person cleaning tubs, bbq grills, fences and what not is not true.

Re: Machines bought but of no use ...
Our coffee maker.
Re: Machines bought but of no use ...
A coffee maker and a rice cooker. They were presents from the same person, and are taking up unnecessary space in my cupboards.
I also have a juicer that I would keep out if I had work top space.
Re: Machines bought but of no use ...
We have a steam mop and its great for cleaning our original oak floorboardsm especially in the kitchen where there's a lot of grease. We use it about once a month.
We also have a steam cleaner which I find useful for lifting grease off tiles, blinds, the extractor hood and also the grooves our conservatory doors. We only use it once every season change though.

.....Juicer is a big culprit..not many ppl use it!!
**YES, washing Juicer after the each use is a pain in the neck indeed! i always refrained from even thinking about using it. i now get freshly squeezed orange juice from the store. it's squeezed right in front of you so very fresh and very yummy!!! :)
why bother? :D**
