Oh lordy... I could fill the garage with small appliances, given the chance, 'cause I love 'em all! Mixers are a favourite of mine also, but I have nowhere near the collection Hans does! I guess coffee makers and blenders are tied for second place, then I guess toasters and waffle irons win third.
For some reason, my father is a gadget nut and that is probably where I got it from. Whereas my mother would scream and howl if I brought home a toaster oven or frypan or can opener from a yard sale, my father would examine each find and make his comments and observations about how the 'new' item was different from one I may have already had. His all-time favourite small appliance is and will always be the electric egg cooker. We had an old McGraw Edison one when I was a brat and when it quit on us, he was frantic until we found another one!
