On top of this, most of the radios suffered from poor sound quality, difficult usability and volumes so low that they are impossible to hear over the noise of the running water.

• Electric candles

• Soda stream
• Teasmaid
• Pancake maker
• Fondue set
• Electric fluff remover
• Facial tanner

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 most popular was the television, with gadgets like the washing machine, toaster and vacuum cleaner also performing well. All of the top gadgets of all time were noted to be items that aid every day life and can’t live without them. It just goes to show that some gadgets are actually worthy and lots can actually make perfect gifts. Items like ipod alarms and flying lanterns are great fun to have around the house.
