For those that don’t know, Reevo is a website providing impartial reviews from customers about all kind of products and the company works with retailers such as Comet, Dixons, Vodafone, Woolworths, totalizing 50 companies.
“Some gadgets are really useful but this poll proves that many of them end up being a waste of money,”said Chris Winstanley, spokesman for Revoo. “Reading genuine reviews can tell you if a gadget or gizmo is likely to be the best thing you ever bought or something that gets stuck in a cupboard and forgotten about within a week.”
And these are the top 20 most useless gadgets in Britain:
20. Back scratcher – This could be useful if you don’t practice body mobility exercises.
19. Towel warmers – Emit heat to keep your towel dry and warm. Why not?
18. Yoghurt makers – Too lazy to go out and buy an already made German natural yoghurt?
17. Electric tin openers – For those that don’t have strong hands…
16. Egg slicer – Uses stainless steel wires to cut hard-boiled eggs into uniform disks for salads or sandwiches. Sounds good!
15. Facial tanners – Those electronic tanners you have to keep your face close at in order to get a darker tan, while wearing protective eye-wear. That’s useful if you are too shy to go to the beach, but what will you do with the rest of your body?
14. Mini disk player – data storage devices for digitalized audio?! Why not an MP3 player?
13. Teas made - Useful but not that useful.
12. Face steamers – Used to steam the facial skin opening pores and helping remove foreign matters. These encourage the metabolism but too bad the pores get closed back after a few minutes.
11. Trouser press – Let’s say we all prefer steam irons.
10. Electric carving knife – It really doesn’t have to be electric.
9. Electric fluff remover – Maybe a good solution.
8. Egg boiler – Useless because you can just drop your egg in there and leave it until it’s boiled. The egg surely won’t get sad if it’s not sustained.
7. Hair crimpers – They make your hair straight but it doesn’t last long enough doesn’t it?
6. Fondue set
5. Foot spas – Wouldn’t it be better a hand massage?
4. Soda stream – For those that like to make bubbles, probably…
3. Electric candles – Who knows why they are considered useless! I prefer these instead of my house in fire.
2. Laser guided scissors – Imagine your hand shaking while cutting with this scissor trying o follow the laser beam!
1. Electric nail files – Which would better fit dog’s nails.

Fondue sets are useless? Then how do you make... fondue? Duh.
Minidisc players may be becoming obsolete, but they aren't useless. There's a difference. Plus, name another gadget with an old school mic input, so I can use my $400 sennheiser, that records an hour in high-quality stereo that I can slip into my coat pocket and sneak into concerts. I'm waiting for your answer.
I am not contradicting you. You are right about that, but then why do you think UK people think the opposite?
