In my kitchen- I've never owned or desired a juicer or bread maker. [I
bake bread without-- and have never been a juice drinker]

The George Foreman gets a workout 3-4 times a week. Mostly for the
dog's chicken, but I've been know to use it for people food on
occasion. Mine is only 5 years old-- but I've got a spare in the
basement that will probably get pressed into service in a couple
years.

I like my electric can opener. It is an undercabinet model that
doesn't take counter space; The nasty bits go in the dishwasher; it
is more robust than the last few hand openers I've owned.

We all have different wants/desires/demands.
