For me, it’s an electric toothbrush. It doesn’t matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don’t ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can’t be replicated with a regular toothbrush.
A bidet. Hands down the best $35 I’ve ever spent
a magic wand vibrator. truly next level stuff
Oh I am sure it gets you on the next level!
Thermal printer. I play a lot of tabletop rpgs and wargames and it helps having the ability to print out handouts without worrying about how much ink I have left!
Not cheap, but a robotic vacuum. It’s a life saver with a shedding dog.
I’ve been thinking about getting one lately, any suggestions?
This is our third one. I would look for one that can be serviced, is self emptying and has mapping technology.
Instant read digital thermometer.
Game changing.
No more over-cooked meats and ending up with tough chicken and rubbery fish. No guesswork if something has reached safe internal temperature. A must have in the kitchen.
A smartwatch or band. You’ll never have to hear notification or ring tones on your phone anymore. In addition, sleep, heart rate monitoring, sports tracking etc. are a big bonus. Cheapest bands are very affordable and obviously there’s no upper limit if you’re a wealthy pig.
Even though I love my old square G-Shock, the pros of wearing my Garmin Vivoactive over it just outweigh the cons.
My Garmin goes with me everywhere. I would recommend a Garmin to everyone. As someone with ADHD who forgets to charge their electronics, having a watch that only needs to be charged once in 8-10 days is absolutely amazing.
Venta LW45 humidifier. easy to clean, uses like 8W/hour (compared to ~40 for ultrasonic or 300 for electric heating ones), quiet, goes through a 9l tank per day easily. And has almost no part that could break i.e. i could replace whatever could break easily.
but the price is insane for what amounts to a bucket with a fan
Zojirushi rice cooker. 110% worth the hype. Makes perfect rice everytime.
I can’t convince my wife to buy one. She insists on cooking in a pot on the stove
A tens unit. Literally the best $30 spent ever.
Can you just attach them anywhere? Do they shock you? Do they help nerve pain?
They do give little shocks, but it feels more like vibrations on the lower settings. I’m not sure about nerve pain, but it helps a lot with muscle aches.
Vitamix.
Few things. One is a home vacuum seal machine. I can keep food for much longer. Just vacuum seal it. Never thought I would ever use it that much. Secondly our Chinese toilet with inbuilt massage shower head to wash my ass. Most people refer to it as a Japanese toilet. The cleanliness feeling after it hits the stream right on target, is just the best. These unfortunate underpaid people can burn down all the toiletpaper warehouses in the world.
The vacuum sealer reminds me: a handheld electric pump.
Some are strong enough to blow up car tires. Especially if you have kids, they’re great for inflating water toys and balls and whatnot.
I have an older style Breville Stand Mixer. It has attachments like a dough hook, beaters, scrapers, etc. I thought I’d never use it. But! It sits on the bench (must be there for ease of access), and the amount of times I use it is astounding.
Wait till you try a miswack.
Electric brew kettle for homebrewing. It’s soooooo much better than using the standard kettle on the cooktop. Don’t have to monitor the temp manually and watch the clock, just turn it on, set the temp and timer and it does its thing.
Also can be used to sous vide an entire 10kg ham
Apple peeler and core remover. Game changer for apple pie.
