Sometimes the ads are so effective that viewers start craving things they haven’t even heard of before. And then they realize that these things have no outstanding features. That is why many people have a lot of items in their home that just collect dust.
Squeezer
At first glance, the juicer seems like a great buy. But many say they use it once and then throw it away. You can squeeze the juice with a blender.
- I bought a juicer once and the freshly squeezed juice is great, but it takes a ton of fresh fruit to get enough and the fruit is very hard to peel. I have used it once.
Refrigerator deodorizer
An unpleasant smell in the refrigerator is an indicator that something is wrong. Maybe the fridge needs a good scrubbing. You don’t need deodorant to get rid of the smell. You can use what you find in any kitchen, such as soda, lemon, oatmeal, and coffee.
Pizza knife
You can cut the pizza with a normal knife. To prevent the pizza topping from slipping, cut the dough slowly. You don’t need a slicer that only takes up space in your kitchen.
Sprinkler
Research shows that sprayers do kill plaque, but they’re not necessary. Flossers are not a substitute for a toothbrush or dental floss. Objectively, sprinklers are only necessary for people with appliances and accessories.
Garlic press
The garlic press is difficult to wash and use. That’s why professional chefs prefer to mince or rub garlic. It’s time to get rid of this clumsy tool.
- I used a garlic press. My disgust comes from the amount of garlic that gets stuck in the press and goes to waste. I myself am a thief and a meat grinder.
Salt lamp
Despite the popular misconception, salt lamps cannot purify the air or make it healthier. They do not affect our mood or sleep in any way. It’s just a thing you can get rid of if you don’t like the way it looks.
Steam mop
Even if a steam mop looks 100 times better than a regular mop, it’s rarely a good buy because it can’t be used to clean one of the most popular flooring materials, laminate.
Egg cooker
The ads say that special tools are better than ordinary ones. For example, an egg cooker can cook a perfect egg compared to a conventional pot. But most people use a good old water pot.
- My mother gave me an egg cooker that the seller convinced her to buy. I used it once and it has been sitting in the box ever since. I thought about selling it online but no one wanted it so I still have it.
Fryer
Many netizens say that while the fryer looks like a good buy, it is rapidly losing its appeal. It takes up a lot of space and is difficult to care for.
- When shopping for a deep fryer, imagine yourself as a professional chef preparing crispy French fries and chicken wings. However, it turned out that you cannot cook more than 200 grams of food at a time, since the temperature of the oil drops very quickly. And then you have to change the oil, and this is very difficult and unpleasant.
Salt shaker
According to research, adding salt to cooked foods is bad for you, so don’t try it with a salt shaker on the table. Yes, bars and restaurants always have them, so at least you can get rid of them at home.
What useless things do you have at home?
