Most irritating home appliance

[Cookiebaker]

My stove. It's ancient! It's the only appliance in my kitchen that came with the house. It's dirty, and burned on where you can't clean it off. I can't WAIT for my new kitchen!!!

The only thing I've noticed that I suppose is good about that durn buzzer is that it does make me get up and finish the laundry. Sometimes it would sit in a heap in the dryer for days before I'd take it out. Now I take it out a lot earlier just to be rid of that annoying buzzer!

I'm lucky in that every dryer I've used has the option to turn the buzzer off. It drives me crazy too.

As for taking the clothes out.... well when I am living on my own (ie when I am pet sitting) I will just wear my clothes out of the dryer. Get up in the morning, open the dryer pull out some clothes and I'm good to go. Then when I take them off at night they go sit in the washer until there is enough for a full load. LOL

I hate my stove, I don't like cooking so I have to say my stove.

my brand new washer that goes off balance all the time

The microwave. It beeps when the food's done, multiple times. It beeps when it's time to turn the defrosting chicken over, it beeps if you don't close the door, it beeps if you close the door, but, don't cancel the remaining six seconds....etc. I've actually found myself talking to the darn thing. "Yeah, yeah, I gotcha, it's time to turn over."

Don's Italian Coffee Maker!!! GRRRRRR

I just HATE that rotten thing. The mess involved in making one cup of coffee is unimaginable. Coffee grounds, milk, sugar all over the counter top - drippy coffee marks all over the white sink, the little coffe ground holders left on the draining board - it hisses and spurts at me - I HATE IT

I think I'll pay someone to kidnap it

My refridgerator. About a day after the warantee expired the icemaker and water thingy went out.

I strongly dislike our vacuum cleaner. It is a canister vac that we got as a wedding gift (without registering for one). It is such a pain to try and manuver between couches and around corners. Half the time I end up flipping it over and it turns off. It also doesn't do a terrific job picking up dog hair (although it is better then the $50 upright Eureka I had at my apartment).

Maybe with my first pay check from my new job I'll buy a new one!

The washing machine! It and the dryer came with the house, so I shouldn't really complain, but the durn things "walks" a lot and we can't re-balance it because the adjustable feet are long gone. So after I do laundry each week, hubby pushes it back against the wall so I can get 4-5 loads out of it before it pulls the cords away from the wall. Thankfully the electric goes first and not the water....Imagine that mess.....

Well, hmmm..I am not sure I hate any of my home appliances..as they are mostly under 2 years old. Does my flat iron count? I swear it doesn't really get that hot, nor get my hair that flat...and, it never stays closed when I am resting it on the sink.

Coffee maker! I hate that thing!

As much as I love having a stove, it is a BEAR to clean, stovetop and oven. I "love" and "hate" it at the same time!!!! LOL!!!! The grill, outside, is the same way!!!!

[anna_66]

I just despise toasters. It doesn't matter how much I spend ($10 or $40) I can't get one that toasts the same on both sides

Sorry Miss Meow, but I just have to brag - we replaced our old falling apart wall oven last year with a self-cleaning one. It is nice.

A self-cleaning oven, what paradise, I finally have a ceramic top, and that is way easier to clean than my old one, but I still have to clean the inside, and I HATE that., so it does not get done too often, hey who see's it anyhow, at least you can shut the door on it. lol.
