I've had a few citrus juicers over the years. They've gotten a bit of use.
I refused to get an electric juicer. My husband wanted one when it was
demonstrated at the fair. I am not into juice. I think it is better to eat
the whole fruits and veggies. And they are indeed hard to clean.

My breadmaker is out in the garage. I used it a few times and never got a
satisfactory product from it but I was trying to make bread that was not
only gluten free but egg and dairy free.

Had a Foreman grill. Threw it out. Useless thing!

Had an electric can opener and threw it out too. Never could get it to work
right and I could open a can myself far quicker.

I also got rid of the waffle iron and electric skillet. Never used them.
