I'm a shocker at buying junk. Gadgets or toys that look great, get used a few times then consigned to the back of the cupboard.

The back of the cupboard is where the mini muffin maker is, along with the pressure cooker, juicer and food processor.

The Slap Chop my son bought is a good one. Cheap and fun although a bastard to wash.

The mini USB powered helicopter only got a few runs before I stacked it and broke one of the blades.

The Rice cooker is a beauty.

The mini aircompressor for the car is a beauty. Can put enough air in a flat tyre to get me going again, and the portable jump starter means I don't need jumper leads. I've started several of oter peoples cars with it when they're stuck.

My fav toy has to be my electric fly swatter. Very Happy Takes 2 D batteries and makes a satisfying 'Crack, crackle' when you get a decent size fly, moth or mossie with it. Also good at parties when you dare people to touch the grid with their tongue. Shocked

What's your favourite toy or gadget?

Or what crap did you buy on impulse and stuck in the back of the cupboard after using it a few times?

Personally I’m waiting for the semi articulated PTO model.

My favourite toy is my Nespresso coffee maker.

My favourite gadget is my wine decanter filter thingy - I have a heap of old wines with lots of sediment, this thing "airs" the wine while catching all the bits you dont want in your glass.

Consider it passed on Wink

I'll pass on the hot chocolate but I'll keep the Map coffee in mind. Very Happy

The 10,9 & 8 are the best of the expressi, the rest just produce dirty water like a Mc Rubbish coffee..

I bought the 10 and 9 to start with. Today I had to top up with 8 because the Aldi I went to had nothing stronger. Sad

Some of there Sham pagnes are OK though.

I've done the plain label 6 pack before. Rough but drinkable after a few beers.

That's good to know, they fit straight in?

I've heard of people trying to make the nespresso ones fit!

Thanks for the info

At Christmas Aldi had an 18 variety pack, shame they don't have them now.

P's Stui, when ever you see the strong ones, buy a heap, they are sold out all the time at all three Aldi's around here, guessing it's common.

That's my favorite but the bastard breaks down all the time.

I tend to toss stuff that's useless, not much of a hoarder!

Received as presents and tossed after respectable time: donut maker, choc fountain, fairy floss maker, various weird kitchen choppers.

The one thing no one has given me is a foot spa!
