I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

A good quality bread machine.

A good tip for bread machines is that a lot of people buy them but then don’t like them, so you can get good secondhand ones cheaply. I love my bread machine - it was about Β£120 new, but I got it in a charity shop for Β£10.

Huh. I just use a bowl, and the oven.

The difference between my Zojirushi and the Black and Decker we had prior is indescribable. My home made bread suddenly wasn't dry from the middle down and would last without losing freshness for a whole day extra. With the same ingredients. It's absolutely worth it to buy a quality bread maker.

After years of baking bread almost every day, I second this.
