i rate higher than others.
Air fryer; recently taken the plunge and bought one. it is convenient, takes up a lot of room, in a lot of cases is not really any faster than the microwave 8/10
tabletop dishwasher. i do like crockery washed in a dishwasher its a clean feeling to the china you could never get by hand washing but the hoo ha of plumbing put me off. this little one is a game changer no plumbing just pour water in the top it tells you when its full enough, then water just goes out into the sink when draining. 10/10
Easi-yo yoghurt maker just add powder to water shake pop in boiling water in a tub overnight perfect yoghurt probably no cheaper but lot more convenient for me and some unusual flavours 9/10

With me. it all comes down to labour saving with cooking and cleaning,
Airfyers are quick - cook small quantities very well and go into the dishwasher for cleaning. What's to dislike? I never use a conventional oven.

I love my Airfryer use it every day, even my breakfast toast gets done in the Airfryer I haven’t used an oven for over two years
I have a rice cooker which I love and a soup blender and a small microwave I think that’s all I ve got in the way of appliances

I use my air fryer a few time a week.
Apart from Christmas, I haven’t used my large oven in three years.
I do however have a combination neff oven, which is great as a smaller oven but absolutely chronic as a microwave.

At last a decent can opener for the few that aren’t ring pull, Lantana.

An egg cooker is the most useful gadget I have.
