Whether or not you purchased it, what is the best and worst of the kitchen items.  For me the best is the Pull and Chop which I have had for years.  The worst would have to be that "Flip it" bundt cake maker which I did not purchase.  My oven works just fjine.

Best my Ninja air fryer and grill but it might just be replaced by my new Ooni pizza oven. Worst only because I never use it is my InstaPot pressure cooker. I just would rather use other things.

Definitely my original Pull and Chop!  What a workhorse!

 

The worst is my replacement Pull and Chop.  It's smaller which is no big deal, but the original had three blades.  I could get the perfect sized celery with about ten pulls.  I swear I pull about 30 times before it's even close.

About 15 years ago, I bought a combo microwave/convection oven which I only ever saw presented once.  I absolutely loved that thing until it quit working after just a few years.

 

I've bought plenty of worthless junk including those shears Mark Charles constantly pushes.  I've probably bought a half dozen sets, mostly for me but they never last long.  They just quit cutting.  Last time I got another, better quality, brand.

Best items:

Ninja combo food processor and blender. I love this item and I can't believe I waited so long to get a quality blender. I use it so often. 

 

Delonghi auto espresso machine. I love coffee and I am a coffee snob. I have had various espresso makers for over 40 years. This auto espresso maker allows you to fine tune the draw and then that's what you get every dang time. The frother makes the perfect froth for cappuccinos and again, you can fine tune to how you want it and then you get perfect froth every time.  

 

I  really like my air fryer and use it weekly. But I can't say I have found a brand I love and will stand the test of time. Seems they all burn out at some point. I also don't like that I can't clean the element area. Seems like a fire hazard.

 

As a side note....I have no idea what chop and pull is....going to go google it because so many of you like yours.

@ncmama  The best are the Pull and Chop, the Kuhn Rikon can opener, the Kuhn Rikon ratchet grinders and the spurtles. I don't know what would be the worst, because I didn't buy it, I guess. The least used is the Lori Greiner Hover Cover. Too much trouble to wash. Paper towels are better.

Who wants to pull on a pull chop gizmo. Food processor does the same thing with push of a button

Another vote for pull and chop.  DH was prepping dinner tonight and used the pull and chop, and every time he uses it, he comments on how much he likes using it. I also use the egg cooker a lot.

My best was the Black and Decker toaster oven. Used it several times a day,

 

Worst was a silicone cover for a fry pan. It covered the pan but fell into whatever you were cooking. Made such a mess cooking and cleaning up.
