For me it's a microwave - never had one and never will.

Definitely no iron, Alexa or hairdryer.
I also don’t have a hot tub in my back garden like most of my neighbours!

mookinsx · 12/04/2019 19:21

Didn't realise a dishwasher was a must have 😂

GrandmasNightie · 12/04/2019 19:22

Microwave. Purely because I would end up piling all manner of shit on it which would annoy me.

Genuine question for dishwasher haters? Why are you against them? Not including space issues obviously

eurgh · 12/04/2019 19:22

Dishwasher, tumble dryer, credit card, car. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like them though lol
