Where do I begin? Anything I can't make an additional 10$ an hour at BARE MINIMUM breaking down, I don't touch. I value my time. I'll remove a motor from something but that doesn't mean I'm automatically gonna break the motor down.
I used to think TVs were cool. Then I realized they end up being worth little more than steel weight, when you factor what you make vs how much they weigh.

The most useless waste of time?
The first laser printer that I took the time to take everything apart. Interesting, but what a waste of time. Now, it's just pull the memory and a accessible cards, the cartridge and throw the rest inside of a fridge for shred. It isn't worth my time to go much further.

Don't care for printers either^^ and even though I break regular washers and dryers down the stack-able apartment types can be a real PITA so sometimes I just grab wire and move on.

Boom boxes. not much inside of them. But sterio receivers are great

3.5 foppy drives, unless they have the nice aluminum frame. Dish washers, the motor is a pita to get out and the bodies have a lot of plastic.

I used to pass dishwashers for the pita of taking apart, then I got a 10lbs sledge and now they just fall apart. The only thing I dissect now is towers, everything else gets bashed.
Everything is useful it all ends up being $$

floor standing air purifier. tiny motor, a switch, a few wires, gobs of plastic fan blades, plastic housing, plastic plastic. I did one via unscrewing, and the screws were just endless, followed by prying and smashing. The second one I found went straight into a smash blanket and I wound up with a mountain of fragmented plastic that was sharp as glass. no more air purifiers!
they look like this
agree w/boomboxes too

If I have never broken something down before, I do. It's fun seeing how things work, and what is in them. Advice on this site is very good, but I like finding out on my own (the hard way sometimes.)
That being said, there are many things I have broken down completely and will never do them again:
Printers - take what is easy, the rest in shred.
vcrs - pull wires and Aluminum motor mount, the rest in shred.
radios - cut cord, shred
toasters - cut cord, shred
coffee makers - cut cord, Junk!

I pretty much agree with you except don't forget the heating wires from the toaster (not sure what's in the coffee maker for heat) cause that is ni-chrome wire.That being said, there are many things I have broken down completely and will never do them again:

vcrs - pull wires and Aluminum motor mount, the rest in shred.
radios - cut cord, shred

pool pumps for those blow up pools....... stupid things.
Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
