Electric toothbrush, I feel so cleeeeaaaaan!!

Laser thermometer. I learned a lot about better temperatures at which to cook things and now get more repeatable results when cooking.

Kitchen scale. Recipes are easier to prepare when weighing ingredients as opposed to using measuring spoons and cups.

Both make food a better experience, which leads to more satisfactory meals and eating less overall.

My Aeropress. Great quality, espresso-adjacent coffee quickly and easily in the morning.

Obvious answer: computers.

I wish we got a bidet but my family decided against it. x_x

Smart vacuum cleaner. You buy it once and never have to vacuum again.

+1 on the bidet. Got one during the great TP shortages of the pandemic 😄 Now I despise going to the bathroom anywhere but home. Unclean! Uncleaaaaan!

My cordless drill. I didn't think I'd need one because I never did a lot of things that required me to drill or screw things together. But now that I have it I can't go back. I've found so many uses. I'd definitely recommend getting a nice driver bit set with one, if you ever put together furniture from a store like Ikea, a nice hex bit makes it go so much faster.

A multitool or swiss army knife: I recommend a Leatherman or Victorinox fit to whatever your daily needs are.

Personally, I swear by my Leatherman Skeletool CX in my pocket and a Victorinox Midnight Manager on my keychain.

• A Bluetooth audio DAC/amp. Connects to my phone. And I can use whatever wired set of earphones I want. Light gardening: earbuds. In public transport: over/on ears. And if the DAC dies, I get to keep my earphones and just replace the DAC.
• My Steam Deck

A pocket knife. Carried one for most of my life at this point.

Also an all metal pen. I always have a writing utensil with me that rugged enough to last years in my pocket.

A Samsung T5 1TB SSD. Has allowed me to comfortably have what I need all the time as I work and study.

recently got my old psp fixed up, it's made my family's near constant outings significantly more bearable. tried emulating it a while back on my phone but it just didn't feel right using touch.

Not really a gadget but tools in my car, countless times people or even I’ve needed them and because I carry them around with me in my car it’s been a life saver and a small electric drill to make it easier instead of using a rachet or screw driver

Single-Board Computers (Raspberry Pi, Odroid, etc). I can't stress how much these have improved my life. Whether it's a simple PiHole filtering out ads, or my Predator Deterrent system for my Chickens, they've made life much easier.

My Instant Pot. I'm the cook at home and it saves me so much time and food comes out so good I barely use my stovetop anymore. Same with the air fryer. Between both kitchen gadgets, I can make a tremendous meal for 4 in 30 minutes. It has saved me weeks!

Harmony remote control. Even controls my air conditioner.

Garlic press is my second choice. 😎

A set of water pump wrenches. I’ve used them for all kinds of purposes that aren’t water pumps. They grip most things and allow a lotta torque.

Kindle.

I read a lot. I used to always keep a paperback book with me ever since I was a teenager. My Kindle goes everywhere with me, since I got my first one in 2009. I just wish they'd make them smaller, the first Oasis was the perfect size for carrying around all the time (I'm a guy, no purse).
