What's a gadget or appliance that you purchased that you would wholeheartedly recommend to others?

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.

Electric kettle. Fast at boiling water, especially if your stove heats slowly. Great for things like tea or instant noodles/lunches.

This is quite a strange comment to see as there isn’t a single house in the UK that doesn’t have an electric kettle in it.

Are we both thinking the same kind of kettle or is it British/American English different? What I’m talking about is a pitcher with an electric heating unit in the bottom?

Not a fan of microplastics or extra unnecessary gadgetry… Seems like silly waste to be the next lemming without any substantial difference to the age old system of boiling water, same with rice cookers. Unless I don’t hav a stovetop they’re basically not needed, a waste of money and another point of plastic contamination.

They come in glass or metal aswell, rice cookers always have an aluminium basket, the lid might be plastic and rubber but those parts are usually not mechanically strained. The microplastic argument seems weird here

I don’t see how that it’s weird but to each their own. Every plastic and/or polymer based product sheds/leeches microplastics, especially heated or constant usage. Aluminum is hardly better and health wise causes other harms and contaminants in the body. Glass, stainless, cast iron is gtg…plastic and aluminum not so much.
