The sorry excuse for a gadget was awarded the crown of worst gadget of all time due to a number of factors. The first one being that they regularly broke because water would leak into the batteries. Further more, the large majority of these radios couldn’t pick up reception in a shower cubicle and the sound of the running water literally drowned out the weak crackles that did manage to find their way out of the speakers.

 

Other pointless gadgets that made it into the top ten worst gadgets of all time included the following:

 

• Electric candles
• Electric nail file
• Soda stream
• Teasmaid
• Pancake maker
• Fondue set
• Electric fluff remover
• Facial tanner
• Egg slicer

 

Alongside the survey for the worst gadgets of all time also came the best gadgets of all time. The results from that were not too surprising. The television topped the list with microwaves, vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, and kettles following closely behind. It is clear to see that the gadgets considered best, were those that save lots of time or have a big impact on people’s lives. It just goes to show that some gadgets are actually worthy and lots can actually make perfect gifts. Items like light alarm clocks and freeloaders are great fun to have around the house.
