We got rid of our bread machine for the same reasons stitchnripper doesn't want one. When the kids moved in we got rid of a lot of useless stuff quesadilla maker, waffle iron, steamer, extra cookware and utensils. If it didn't have a good reason for staying, it was history. Now that we've recently moved, I'm glad we purged. But, we purged even move when we moved too. Feels great having all that space in the cabinets and drawers.
