Waffle toaster

Customers are not satisfied with the value, mess, leaks, performance and durability of the waffle maker.

Egg breaker

YYY no. (8:37)

A slider station in a big city

I had to scrub it with a Brillo pad to get it clean. I’ll take it back to the store, so save yourself the trouble and don’t buy it.

Fail. (13:46)

Whirley Pop popcorn popper

Of course it works, but you don’t need it. (8:09)
