I've never seen an advertised-on-TV food preparation product that was
good.

Why are they always made out of a silly plastic that gets scratched
and absorbs smells and is harder to wash? Why not glass?

Why are they always made with corners that you can never quite wash
properly, when smooth insides would be easier?

Why are they made with all-in-one plastic parts, instead of individual
convex parts that you can disassemble to wash easily?

Why do they come with so many features, when a device that just does
one or two things would be better? I don't want a blender with 15
speeds, I want one with 1 speed.

Why do they come with ten different blades? It makes me think that
none of the blades are really general enough. Will you end up washing
several different blades each time you cook? Why not chop with a
kitchen knife, where you get more control over size and it takes about
as long and it's easier to wash.

Why do they throw in something extra free, that's even worse than the
item you're actually buying, and which you're never going to use?
