Most useless one I've seen lately: The Whirlpool Polara refrigerator/oven combination.

How does the Polara™ Refrigerated Range free busy homemakers in meal preparation?
The cook can place the dinner in the range anytime during a 24-hour period and program the unit to cool and then cook. After a programmed sequence ends, the unit will stay in warming mode for one hour at 170ºF. If the oven door is not opened during this warming period, at the end of the hour the unit will then automatically begin a cooling cycle that will last 24 hours or until the door is opened. This is to minimize chances of food spoilage. This feature can be turned off through a hidden function in the electronic control. By having these defaults, we free you from having to rush home to get dinner out of the oven or have it ruined.

HUH??? I'm a complete gadget/computer freak and that's a bit on the complex side for me, let alone a 45 year old housewife. I can't imagine anyone going through the trouble to use that.
