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!

Potato peeler. Just got a soft spot for it.

I'd had to go out today to buy an old fashioned pealer for my friend

I love my washer dryer

Benjispruce5 · 23/12/2021 21:33

Dishwasher hands down. It’s a cheap Beko and it knocks socks off the Bosch I had before.

Benjispruce5 · 23/12/2021 21:33

Oh and my espresso machine. Star

Cordless vac had to go. 2 DDs with long hair did not mix well. I was constantly cutting the hair out of the brushes. Can’t beat my Henry, hair is no match for him.

My big fridge. I know everyone has one now, but it still feels like a luxury to me to have a roomy fridge with a water dispenser.

The gadget DH bought me for holding a piping bag open while I fill it

My lovely dough scrapers/pastry cutters

I love our waste disposal. It's the best thing in the kitchen

My Ninja multi cooker - I'm slightly obsessed with it!

BlueJag · 23/12/2021 21:39

Our air fryer ❤️

Redshoeblueshoe · 23/12/2021 21:44

I have a Tefal saucier. I inherited my DMs, which she bought in the 70's or early 80's. I love it. Recently it started making funny noises, anyway I saw one the exact same age - in a charity shop, it had never been out of the box.

Love my maiden.

My Sebo. It goes about its business , making no fuss, vacuuming up everything without complaint. Unlike my shit Shark which passes out at the mere thought of a pine needle.

Wooden spoon with a heart shaped hole. Just the right size and reminds me is a holiday I loved.

My Devon Duvets wool mattress topper. It's a cloud of soft loveliness.

PainterMummy · 23/12/2021 21:48

Instapot and my potato ricer

Fmesanta · 23/12/2021 21:48

Wireless speaker

I asked for a window vac for Christmas (and made clear that I genuinely want it). I'm quite excited about it. Grin

My measuring spoons. I was distraught when I lost my 1/2 tsp one but ecstatic a few weeks later when I found that it had fallen into my pan drawer directly below where I hang them.
I also love my Cosori air fryer. It's used most days.

My husband has just installed a black lavatory seat. I bloody love it.

Becles · 23/12/2021 21:50

My roomba. I love it with a passion and find myself smugly turning over in bed about 3am knowing it's whirring away. I send my team videos of it in action because I'm a saddo.

I've seen these, what do they do. What do you use to make the coffee and are they really worth it? Do they take much time and effort?
