Anything cooking related. It all the same shit you already had but this time it's plastic, harder to clean and only does 1 specific thing.

Not to mention the shit that's completely fucking useless, like Juicero - a "juice squeezing machine" that only works with plastic bags you get from their subscription service.

Can you give a few examples of older stuff worth getting? Iโ€™m looking to update my kitchen soon :)

Nah because my kitchen is full of plastic junk ๐Ÿ˜…

Old mandolin slicers. The plastic on one's produced recently cracks in a year for the cheap ones, or five years for the expensive ones. My grandmother had one that was solid metal. I'm sure it's serving my cousin as well today as it served my grandmother 50+ years ago.
