Kohl’s is a renowned source for small kitchen appliances. From coffee grinders to fancy blenders, Kohl’s is the destination for picking up appliances to make cooking easier. The website and the app offer an even larger selection than most Kohl’s stores.
However, not all kitchen gadgets are worth the investment. Here are five kitchen appliances available at Kohl’s that you might want to think twice about before purchasing.
Hamilton Beach Electric Can OpenerÂ
While electric can openers like the Hamilton Beach Electric Can Opener may seem convenient, they often become more cumbersome than useful. They occupy valuable counter space and can be prone to mechanical issues. A manual can opener does exactly the same thing without taking up as much space or costing you thirty bucks.
Dash Rapid Egg CookerÂ
Save your money and avoid this single-use gadget for cooking eggs. The Dash Rapid Egg Cooker is marketed as a quick and easy way to cook eggs, but that’s the only thing it can do. When you can achieve the same results using a pot of boiling water or a frying pan, it doesn’t really make sense to drop your hard-earned cash on this silly-looking appliance that will just take up cabinet space.
Oster Electric Wine OpenerÂ
The Cuisinart Electric Wine Opener promises to make opening wine bottles effortless, but is it really that hard to open a bottle of wine? A traditional winged corkscrew is more reliable, smaller to store, and doesn’t need electricity to open your wine bottles. Save $50 to $70 (for cordless varieties) and invest in a trusty manual bottle opener.
Magic Bullet Portable Blender
The standard Magic Bullet Blender is popular for its compact size and convenience, but the portable version just misses the mark. The portable blender is tiny, so it doesn’t require as much storage space as a traditional blender, but that also means it hardly has enough room to make a smoothie for one person. For people who need a versatile blender that can handle difficult chopping or large amounts of food, a full-size blender would be a much better choice. If you lack storage space, the standard Magic Bullet will provide more functionality for about the same price.
