Least Used Household Appliance

Ulla Stina Wikander [1]

I’m not an impetuous consumer. As an avid cook, I love kitchen gadgets, but I restrain myself because of limited space and try to only buy items that I really need. Lately, I’ve been hankering for a pressure cooker since I read from a trusted source [2] that they provide the best results for soups and stews. I also think about getting a powerful lightweight vacuum as an incentive to vacuum more, though really, is that so important? The one household appliance that sits unused in the drawer is my blow dryer. What item is taking up space in your home?
