Which 'must have' item do you do without?

[MilkTrayLimeBarrel]

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

Oh we don’t have a toaster either - nasty little crumb collecting side clutterers! I also feel the same about a kettle but dp will not budge on that 😂 our kitchen sides are totally empty other than a kettle on the windowsill and a tassimo (both for him and guests, I don’t drink hot things).
And no slow cooker. My mum had one in the 80/90s or whenever they were popular. Everything came out tasting the same and with a horrible texture.

Dishwasher
Central heating
Alexa

Kettle
Tumble Drier

Stand alone Freezer. About once every 3 years I briefly think it could be useful but not worth having it as clutter for rest of time.

I have & like most the other stuff listed. not hair dryer or tumble drier, though.

Smartphone. Car. Toaster.

Vibrator

Hair dryer, deep fat fryer/chip pan

Genuinely interested in the dishwasher-haters. Is washing up by hand your therapy then? I think DH wouldn't mind not having one, but I cook and cater so much I would have to actually give up my job if I started doing that.

I think if my Electrolux dw had been my only dw I’d have washed up by hand too but the builders put it in so I replaced it with a Miele.

A TV. DP and I have such little time together (works away during the week) that we want to do things we really enjoy together. TV for us isn't it! Both of us didn't have one anyway before we got together, we were just a good match that way! Never occurred to us to buy one.

Make up.
