Following on the Cost per wear thread. Which appliances do you think you have got good value out of and which ones sit in the cupboard unloved?

I was thinking about this as I used my microwave last night. I bought it about three months ago and have used it 4 times, and only to warm things up not actually cooking in it! On the other hand I have a stick blender/whisk which I use nearly every day - worth every penny.

My bread maker from Lakeland - best ever and I've had a few. Nutribullet is a fad thing that I only use occasionally but leave it out to remind me it's there. The slow cooker is half way. It's great and I'm pleased to have it but I don't use it a lot. My Magimix is a real boon and a cheap and cheerful chopper 'tub' has recently come back into service so I don't tend to chuck things out!!!

My slow cooker was only £10 from Tesco and is therefore a good buy as I have used it about 8 times (only had it six months)

Not many of mine sit unused for long. We make bread regularly now having invested in an Ebay advertised Panasonic machine which is so much better that our old one.
I have a Phillips icecream maker which I use quite often. Very useful if you can get good offers on soft fruit in the season. Real fruit ice cream no additives. The stem & ginger wine icecream is to die for.
