What ‘boring’ household item do you love?

[Splodgerbodgerbadger]

I love our cordless vacuum, I was never that bothered about getting one, but it makes it so much easier. Especially when you have a crumb generating child!

I hate our cordless Dyson with a passion, i wish I could love it but I resent every hard earned penny I spent on it.
I love my steam iron. I realise most people think I'm mad, and with young children I barely get time to iron anything, but I love doing the ironing, I find it really relaxing.
DH and I are getting a ninja foodi multicooker for each other for Christmas, I'm very excited and am hoping I will be able to come on a future thread and say I love it, rather than being another Dyson.

I’ve got one of those trays with a bean bag on the bottom. Not only used when eating. I write my Christmas cards on it, do all kinds of paperwork, build Lego sets with ds. So handy!

Hot water bottle

Our multi cooker. It's fabulous.

@NadjaofAntipaxos ha ha YES!!! It’s almost the exact same thing!!

@shakingmytinselatyule yes, but you can dice these even more finely great when you’re hiding them in various things (as I still have to do for my fussy 16 year old 🙄😂)

Dehumidifier. Dries a load of washing in about a day. It's warmer in the winter pulling out the cold damp air and it cools in the summer getting rid of the warm muggy feeling.

@Watto1 yes I have one of those too, they’re great aren’t they?

My vegetable peeler. I've used others when visiting family and helping cook but mine is just the best.

Wine glass

Masking tape

I've got one of those scrapers for the carpet that gets all the hair and dust up.
Good exercise and bloody satisfying

The bin.

@FingersofFish this is the one I have; I’m sure you can buy it in other places too

The IKEA laundry thing but in my house it's known as the washing spider.

I love doing laundry.

Silicon tongs

A boot dryer with two prongs that blow out hot air. Cost £30 on Amazon, lives outside and dries the kids' rugby boots in 10-15 minutes rather than eau de musty shoe filling my house when I put them on the radiators.

My cheese grater box. Grater fits over the box, then has a lid to store your grated cheese. One of my best buys.

Me too, absolute game changer. Also my garlic crusher (about £2 from China🙀) is an must have for avoiding smelly nails!

My OXO potato peeler. Everyone in my family who has tried it has gone and bought one (yes we are always in each other's kitchens normally).

My mother was telling me how delighted she was with hers the other day and believe me, she's never happy with anything!

Wooden chopping boards
Jam funnel - use it for decanting into storage jars (but never made jam)
I use and appreciate them every day.

My tumble dryer. I’d give anything up even my car before my dryer. xo

My glass door drinks fridge. It’s kept well stocked with wine, beer, juice, water, tonic, coke etc. It still feels like a massive luxury that I can just wander into the kitchen & grab a chilled drink any time I want.

Thank you @TurtleOnMyKnees that's better than the one I'd seen on eBay!

It's a toss up between my bread machine and Instant Pot.

I make most of our bread using sprouted grain flours. So quick, easy, and delicious.

The Instant Pot is indispensable for soups, stock, and stews.

Karcher window vac. Now I'm actually excited to see condensation. Most satisfying thing ever

Yes, wine fridge.
Sage tea machine although I'd suggest buying it from Amazon
