Think I would be an iron (I still do that). My past life must have been as a washerwoman because I am very good at it!

Both a dishwasher and a washing machine because I’m obsessive about cleanliness. I was born fastidious.

I’d be the smoke detector. That’s the closest I could think of to being a fly on the wall and every once in a while I could react to the broiler by scaring the crap out of everyone in the house. Oh, does that sound mean? I could also save a life, I guess. LOL

I would want to be a bread machine. It is pure magic to dump some flour, yeast salt, sugar and some water into a bowl, push a button and a few hours later wind up with a crunchy crusty warm loaf of Italian bread, ready for a pat of butter and a few slices of Genoa Salami. Life just doesn’t get better than that!

Don’t want to be anything electric, that cuts, that isn’t environmentally friendly etc but would like to be useful, pollution free, user friendly, available to many etc ……. and I came up w/teaspoon! :) I like it because it’s used to feed babies their first solids, it’s a measurement, they’re used all the time by everyone, chic desserts and ice-cream are eaten w/them, even medicine is given s’times w/them, I like the shape. Not really a household appliance but found everywhere people are trying to live.

I’m that under-utilized wedding gift, the crock pot. Right now I’m slow cooking some delicious pinto beans. Hey stove! Are you baking some cornbread?

The vacuum cleaner…it grinds, sucks, spews…and is transformational. Moves from anger to joy, doesn’t it?

Automatic coffee maker, or a toaster/broiler.
