The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it's mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

Dehumidifiers are so mysterious and needy.

At least they don’t play an entire Etude in Db like washing machines.

Not me, but my mother has beef with air conditioners. When I was little, I got sick (to the point of losing consciousness) due to a dirty AC in a hotel, so now she (maybe rightfully) assumes that a random given AC in a public place is filthy. We don't have one at home either - mostly because in this climate we'd only need it for a short time each year, but also because mom thinks it'd be easy to not take care of it properly and let enough filth accumulate.

I wouldn't call it an appliance, but I almost always use cast iron for beef.

I mean I like microwaves but it pisses me off it wants to know the date and this goes for any item that wants internet access. Time I get. Its sorta convenient to have it show it when its not doing anything else but why the F do you think you need to know the date. Im not setting you to go cook something later. Really it comes down to it refusing to work after power loss until you put in time and date. My microwave always thinks the days start on november eleventh two thousand eleven.

Air Fryers.

It's a tiny convection oven.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I love air fryers. I would absolutely get rid of my toaster oven/conventional oven.

I'm not here making giant roasts or pies. I'm just trying to heat up some nuggies and fries.

They cook so much better.

Danalock smart locks. They are garbage locks by a garbage company and everything surrounding it is pure trash.

I'm about to smash my goddamn phone. i can buy the best phone with all of my money and it still sucks ass

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I think we are asking too much of phones. I’m not even certain we are in charge of the wanting any more… they dangle… we salivate.

No… I haven’t gone back to flip phone yet but I’m sure tempted.
