Here are some appliances/products that have caught on even though they have significant shortcomings.
Automated Towel Dispenser: Usually is stuck with paper half the time.
Dishwasher: Takes an hour to do what it would take a person ten minutes with half as much water and detergent.
Volume Controls on Steering Wheel: Hard to hit buttons while turning. And was it really that hard to reach the dashboard?
Blackberry: People rave about the keyboard, but it is just as hard to use as the iphone touchscreen one.
And some that are clearly superior than old products.
Electric Toothbrush: Way better at cleaning back of teeth than a regular one.
Electric Shaver: No more dealing with shaving cream, or razor cuts.
Digital Watch: I'm convinced my $20 Timex is way better than $2000 Rolexes.
Turntable.fm: Way better for discovering music than radio, itunes, or spotify.
