Griddler/Paninni Maker
I love my Wolfgang Puck griddle with removeable plates. It is heavy and the plates remove for easy cleaning. I also bought the upsell(from HSN) of the flat griddle plates and the waffle grids. This appliance makes great grilled(fat) sandwiches, grilled chicken, burgers, fish, vegetables, etc.
And is very easy to clean.

HB baby food processor
This is the current version of my machine, I use it all the time, especially for chopping onions. So many recipes call for onions, and there's very few tears when I use it. And I like the feature where it will slice or shred into an outside bowl if desired so it doesn't have to emptied to often, which would otherwise call for dragging out the full-size food processor.

Those Hamilton Beach microprocessors are wonderful! I got my mom one for Christmas two years ago and she loves it...small but powerful, and the fact that you can chop, slice, & shred into a bowl really comes in handy. This was her first real processor since the early 90's--she used to have a Sunbeam "Oskar" that scared the &^&$&% out of me when I was 3 years old and because of that she didn't use it. Later on, when she was using the Braun hand blender with the (useless, IMHO) chopper attachment, I tried convincing her to buy a "baby" KitchenAid or a Cuisinart (what CR liked at the time), but she didn't really feel the need for a processor anymore...now she uses it practically every day!
I was surprised at how easy it is to assemble, clean and use; works great for chopping onions, peppers, shredding ham, you name it! The only thing I find irritating is that it's very easy to misalign the blade with the metal shaft in the lid when you're putting it on...I always tell Mom to "Line the blade UP" ; otherwise it vibrates horribly which is definitely not good for the machine.
Otherwise it's a nice little processor that can do much more than the mini-choppers, yet takes up the same amount of space!

just seen this post and have to say mine would be.
The 1970's presto hamburger maker. I have 3 of these babys one makes 2 at a time the other makes 4 an the oldes one makes 1.
I bought one old new stock for $1.00 at our k-mart. They found it way in the back of the store room. The other two were my ant's an grany's. Also makes a great flat grill to.
My other would be my 1950's ice crusher just takes a lot of time craking the old handel.
An cant forget my 1950's wall can opener.
Sory about any typos not the best speller.

mini machine
Yeah, it's really great. I even use it to pre-chop, shred, or slice ingrediants for use in the large HB food processor. Keeps me from having to switch the large processor from slicing or shredding to mixing.

I love all my small apps. They are
Kitchen Aid: K5 mixer, hand mixer, Blender, 10 cup food processor with mini bowl, toaster, and hand blender (the mini chopper attachment works great)
Three crock pots of various sizes, Oster/Sunbeam vertical rotisserie, T-fal deep fryer, Fareberware Pecalator and Bodum Santos vacuum coffee maker

Coffee and Popcorn
I love my Starbucks Bodum vacuum coffee pot. I do not currently have one but remember as a child our Westbend popcorn popper with the large dome on top that was used as the bowl. I see they have the Stir Crazy by Westbend at Amazon.com.

my favorite appliances (small)
These are our 3 rival crock-pots, sunbeam mixmaster (93' model), presto buffet style electric skillet and presto frygrandpappy deep fryer;, oh yeah, our early 50's Westinghouse electric roaster we still roast the turkey in for thanksgiving. We have a waring blender which we seldom use, 2 elec knifes which don't work and a black and decker undercounter elec can opener. Mr Coffee Elite which does ok-I want an expresso (stovetop) coffeemaker.

We had one of those when I was little. My Mother probably still has it in her basement.

My Sunbeam T20B toaster
My favorite small appliance is my Sunbeam T20B toaster made in 1956. It works as perfect as the day it was bought 49yrs. ago. Also, my wife likes her "Whiz-Grid", made by Mirro in the early 70's. It was the forerunner to today's George Foreman grilling machine. I'm curious if anyone else has or had either of these, and any thoughts they may have about them.

Whiz-Grid
Was it red with a smoke colored plastic drip tray that slid underneath? I remember growing up with two of these. We bought the second one when the teflon started peeling on the first one. This thing made the best crisp bacon and pretty good hamburgers too. Also was good for grilled cheese sandwiches. I remember my Mom always calling it the 'Froiler'. Maybe this was another brand altogether but I do remember the Whiz-Grid name.
