Men of MFP, I want your opinions!

Food scale that calls you Big Daddy. Blender in the shape of a busty mermaid. Olive oil mister that groans with each spray.

Well I can't speak for the OP, but this reply was a great help to me personally because I needed a laugh this morning. So thanks for that.

The food scale I think could be on a bigger platform. Something that has a little weight behind it. When I push the tare button I don't want it sliding around. I want to be able to put a big bowl on it.

The blender should have a modern contemporary look, not so rounded off.

All should be stainless steel or black or any combo of. They should be damn easy to clean, no dinky parts to have to pull apart. With any smooth surface you should have no problem with finger prints and really a mans kitchen shall not show them.. Brushed SS would work well.

I just want a 7-7'6" ultralite spinning rod with a good blank and good components that is a fast action.

Apparently this product is impossible to produce as no rod maker has gotten it right yet.

Nope.
But here, take this oil mister that makes sex noises.
Enjoy.

I have a lot of guy friends whom have bought kitchen appliances and utensils that they have never used nor will they ever use them because they had something to do with a nostaligic idea. Like and R2D2 cookie jar and Measuring cups that stack into a robot. Though generally geared towards the geek minded male it also manages to appeal to the geek minded females which is a rapidly expanding sect of society.

Edited to add that I am not packing a package in my pants so my opinion is moot. Simply an observation of mine.

Not a guy but I think I can offer you some insight...

First, you're barking up the wrong tree. Most guys don't do gadgets and if they do, it's because a woman in their life bought it for them.

2nd, And I'm going to say this as delicately as possible as not to inadvertently break any rules... as the daughter of two gay men, I can tell you that middle aged gay men are a good target audience for these things. They've tried every diet known to man and bought all the gadgets that go with them. That being said, cost will matter not nearly as much to them as functionality and product placement. If it's easy to use, easy to wash and easy to find when looking at other healthy-conscious items then it'll probably sell to this demographic. Another huge plus for a smoothie-anything would be portability of the unit itself and/or the container.

I would like needless gadget integration, like an olive oil mister you can activate remotely with your phone, or a a food scale that also controls the temperature in your house to maximize calorie burn.

Something rubberized would be nice, I don't really care what it looks like as long as it's durable.

Ok, serious answer.

I want products with reliable components. Something that will last nearly forever. High amp/voltage motors on blenders and other mechanical products, stainless steel housings, blocky design for storage ease, and retractable cords.

And I'm serious about the olive oil mister.

A protein drink cup in the shape of an *kitten*

I prefer my protein in different cups... like A, B, C, and even D.

Functionality over form any day, although if it looks good, that is a bonus.

I have two digital food scales. One is silvery plastic with a glass balance pan, and is designed for smallish weights. I use it for weighing hops. The second has a pull out part where the numbers are, so it kind of separates from the weighing bit. It goes up to 11 lb, and I use it for weighing grain for my homebrew. Both are in my garage. If I really need one in my kitchen, I'll grab one of them.

I have a Waring blender in stainless steel with a glass jug. It looks OK, and it functions. It is usually stored in a cabinet, so looks aren't important to me on that.

I use a can of Pam for my spray oil. I don't have a special mister.

For clean eating, I have a faucet.

If I was going to have these sorts of devices in my kitchen, then I'd want them high tech looking: shiny metal and glass with flashing LEDs and stuff. But if they don't work, then they'd still be in the garbage.

The stuff that does sit out on the counter - the toaster, the Keurig coffee maker, the knives etc - are currently all disparate designs. Some unified design scheme would be nice, but seriously I'm not going to buy something new just because it looks good when I already have something that works.

Cow's dry now, BB.

dish washer safe!

I prefer functionality and a minimalistic look.

I often take a shaker bottle to work for my morning protein shake. From time to time I forget that bottle over the weekend. It isn't a pleasant odor.

If you can design a shaker bottle that won't trap the stench that builds up after leaving the bottle unwashed, you'd get my money.

Just make everything 1.5 times the size - men will buy the bigger version if it's around the same price.
Alternatively - purely for the boosting of sales figures - make novelty alternative versions.
A 1 shot smoothie maker that looks like a beer can? I'll have it.
Make the scales programmable so they tut at me when I put more pasta on than I should.
Make the scales able to sync with MFP so when I select the Pasta option whatever I weigh out automatically turns up in my diary.

I... Want that feature... So hard.

OP, my son really liked a single-serving shake mixer I bought him for Christmas... It was a blender with a smallish canister that you press down to operate, and then you drink straight from the canister. Super simple to use, dishwasher safe, and easy to clean. Unfortunately, it couldn't hold up to the ice and other solids he mixes... It broke and leaked after the fourth or fifth shake. Aside, I think he would be hip to a "shake mixer" more than a "smoothie mixer." I replaced it with a manly-looking stainless steel restaurant-style shake mixer... He thought that was cool, but six months on, he's never used it.
