Latex pillows
Silk / wool quilts
A touch bar bin by Simple Human - sounds ridiculous, but I love that thing every time I use it haha
Zojirushi flasks
An ergonomic mouse - after trying quite a few, the one by DTX is wonderful
Tom Bihn Cafe Bag - love a nice bag!
I have a wool duvet with cotton shell and it's the greatest purchase I've ever made.
Genuinely keeps you warm in the winter, cool in the summer and it's very thin so you don't feel like you're suffocating in covers.

One of those "portable AC" units.
My home office gets up to 85° at minimum during the hot summer days. Having a tech come in and fix my entire HVAC setup is too rich for my blood. HOA won't allow window units... Finally caved and got the more expensive "portable" ac system that sit on the floor and have tubes that go out the window.
Room can get down to 73° during those same hot days and I am so happy with it.
Good job on getting one with dual vents. They are just as efficient as a window unit.

I do a lot of firewood processing, so the DeWalt battery powered 8 in. chainsaw has been great. Don't need to spin up a big gas saw for little branches.
A more general answer: used cars. My most recent two car purchases were off craigslist and have been great bang for the buck. I see no reason to buy a new car ever again.
Bambu lab 3d printer (~1600 usd). I have managed with other much less expensive printers but they give so many headaches. This one is almost idiot proof and i dont even wink about leaving it on over night anymore. Clearly one of my best purchases as it has engaged me into what i actually want to do which is 3d design, not constant maintenance.
Le Creuset Dutch oven. Not sure what I paid for it because it's 20+ years old. After a few years, it developed a flaw on the interior finish. They replaced it with no hassle. I use it for so many things, soups, one pot meals, no knead bread, cobbler, and on and on.

Whirley Pop: if you enjoy popcorn/like to have a movie theater experience at home, get one! I love to use the "Real Theater" packets but you can make your own as well.

Air Fryer: we have the Ninja brand and I love it. It doubles as a dehydrator as well, so quick and a million times easier than heating.
-
Litter Champ/Litter Genie: We have the litter Champ brand. Great for disposing of soiled cat litter without having to use grocery bags every time. They are biodegradable with zero smells.

Nintendo Switch with BOTW and TOTK. Hundreds of hours of entertainment!

Judging by the answers, nobody’s heard of global warming, overshooting planetary limits, etc. Oh well…

Top 4 (couldn't think of 5)
- Laptop - Microsoft Surface Book 3 - Like a giant ipad with a keyboard and a good cpu, good for programming for me, school, small gaming.
- Netgear Router and Modem - OP said, are cool and I feel safer without an Xfinity dual modem/router.
- Music on Bandcamp - Cool way to have digital copies of my favorite music.
- Apple TV - Finally streaming, I get to choose what I want to watch.
I'm needing a new laptop soon, been considering either a Dell XPS 15 or a Microsoft surface laptop. Almost settled on the dell, but the quality of the Microsoft hardware intrigues me.
The quality was one of the major reasons I choose this laptop. I think that in some laptops Dell and other brands have come close to getting that feeling, but comparatively they just feel a little cheaper on the average. I looked at MacBook's for a while for this reason too, they got some good hardware too but really depends on what you'll be doing with it. I don't see myself programming on a MacBook the way that I want to.
Yeah I'll be starting either computer science or software engineer BS from WGU in a few months. I've also looked at getting a MacBook, I just really think Macintosh will limit me, I also can't stand the apple ecosystem. The dell XPS is a bit cheaper than the Microsoft surface, but definitely seeing lots of people living their devices with Microsoft, and Dell seems to always have quality control problems.
