I'm glad I never bought one. I have been tempted but have no problem
cooking it on the stovetop so I resisted. I'm sure there are things I
have that aren't used but so far I can't think of any. I have an
espresso machine that I've never used but it was a Christmas present. I
really need to try it out one of these days.

Meat grinder was a good purchase but I rarely use ground meat so it
doesn't get much use. Likewise the Vitamix because I never stuck with
the green smoothie idea but use it occasionally for margaritas or similar.
