Appliance Dump

Just how many kitchen appliances (gadgets) are used for less than a year and forever shelved (or trashed) in the land of no use.  Ellen asked where our waffle iron was last night and I searched for 45 minutes without success.  Looking in every known high and low shelf, pantry, garage overflow, unfinished basement - even the kitchenette downstairs.  In that process I found many gadgets forever to be forgotten - George Foreman Lean Mean Machine, Air popper popcorn, coffee makers, cake pops, ice pops, Pizzle Cookie Waffle iron, Crock pots, Breadmakers,and the list goes on. 

Placing all these gadgets on the limited realestate counterspace would make a kitchen completely full of clutter.  Hence they get stored in the lowest shelf or the top shelves - out of sight and out of mind.  When those shelves are full - the gadget is placed into a "gadget runoff" with the loser finding its way to the dump.

Today, in a weak moment, I said to Ellen we would buy a Belgian Waffle Iron at Walmart.  A choice of four different sizes, styles, and manufacturers was enough to make your head spin.  Ellen's choice was the largest - four square waffle GE appliance.  Too large to even fit in the cabinet above the counter.  So it will find it's way to the larger and higher inaccessable shelf full of gadgets unused for years. 

Which gadget will hit the dump to make room?
