Cast Iron Pan - I don't cook enough to justify it. Girlfriend at the time thought it was a good idea, and she used it a bunch, but now it's just in the cabinet probably rusting up.
Humidifier - It gets really dry in here and it was recommended as a solution to my dry eyes. But it's a pain to clean and refill, so it mostly just sits there.
Robo vacuum - It wasn't great at navigating the apartment, so I didn't use its auto schedule thing. Then the cat hair overwhelmed it. It is languishing in the closet. I got some use out of it, at least, driving it around like an RC Car, but I ended up buying a more robust manual vacuum cleaner
Damn I'd ask if you are me but I absolutely love my cast iron skillet cause it's the most nonstick pan in my house and I cook plenty. I have 2.
Humidifier, I found it easier to have one of those old school plastic water pitchers next to my humidifier that I can use to fill it up or keep a refill immediately nearby if I know I'm gonna use it all day and a little splash of bleach every now and again actually does a lot for cleaning it out on its own. But it sits empty a lot still.
Shark robo vacuum and Anker's Eufy lines can die by fire. Both suck for completely different reasons and I have wasted so much money and I so wish I hadn't accidentally lit on fire the like 3rd gen iRobot my grandmother gifted me because it was so "dumb" it was the only one that worked.
Confirmed here too. I HATE my shark vac bot. So many reasons and I have two of them unfortunately, each with different problems.
It's insane how full of problems they are and yet how insistent they are that problems are somehow rare.
