    Question What appliances do you NOT have in your home that are in most homes?

    How about a list of the appliances you don't have in your home that are in most homes, but not yours.

    I don't have:

    - microwave
    - clothes dryer
    - hair dryer
    - electric shaver
    - electric toothbrush

    How about you?

    Edited to add:

    - dishwasher
    - central a/c

    Melissa, you don't have a phone? Wow that's odd (only because you have internet LOL)

    I don't have an electric toothbrush, central air, or electric can opener...I'm sure there are more that I just can't think of right now.

    My dishwasher doesn't work. And my dh set the microwave on fire several weeks ago so we don't have one of those right now either.

    I have too many, I threatened my dh that if he bought me another household appliance as a gift I would buy him a vacuum for Christmas, last year I got a necklace. Unless they invent a new appliance I couldn't get one anyway so he was saved.

    No electric can opener (WHAT A waste!), no salad shooter (Gee--that's too bad--lots of sarcasm! ), no coffee maker, no electric razor, no electric toothbrush. Can;t think of anything else right now.

    I do not have a washer or dryer IN our home..we do share a set with our three neigbors in this fourplex..that is out by the car-port.

    I'm not using the electric can opener(went nuts on us)..or a salad shooter..I found one that I think my MIL gave us..but I never use it..takes longer to fish it out, then it does to get my knife and chop it up :p

    Our microwave blew up on us and we haven't replaced it. No electric toothbrush, no electric griddle, no blender, no washer and dryer (they are shared with the people in our building). That is all I can think of!

    No dish washer
    No central A/C - heating
    No electric litter box (dh would like this one, he cleans the litter boxes every day! )

    Editted to add: an electric coffee pot - we perk ours on the stove

    It's scary when you think of how many appliances you have that you couldn't live without! There are only 3 of mine I can think of that I use every day.... electric toothbrush, microwave and vacuum cleaner. All the others only get used every once in a while.
