• Electronic thermometer don't have one
• Electronic blood pressure meter don't have one
• Parking sensor don't have one
• Electric clothes dryer don't have one
• Electric kettle do have one, but could make do without... just use the stove
• Immersion heater don't have one
• Coffee machine don't have one
• Dishwasher don't have one
• Microwave oven don't have one
• Bread maker don't have one
• Electric griddle don't have one
• Barbecue grill don't have one
• Electric or induction stove don't have one
• Electric oven do have one, but would prefer gas

I think I could quite easily live without all the items on your list, and already do live without most of them. Fridge, freezer and washing machine I wouldn't want to do without though.

Hair iron: no idea what this even is

Used by girls to make their long hair wavy. Thus, most people won't ever use one, and some of those who do use it only at the hairdressers', so they don't own one at home.

Electric oven do have one, but would prefer gas

Some do, yes. Some prefer electric/induction because it's easier to clean.

To clean? I use it solely to prepare food, never tried to clean it :) (recently moved from a flat with a gas one to another with an electric one).
