Zorijushi rice cooker. It can cook rice perfectly and can hold cooked rice for days.

Facebook portal. Yeah Facebook privacy and all that but that's a good product that allows me to call people without having to mess with the phone. The audio and video is super clear. I use it despite it's from Facebook.

Work sharp knife sharpener. It's superior to sharpening the my knives with the stone.

Apple airtags. I often forget where I put my keychain so this is really well executed. Apple airpods. They just work and they are nice enough.

Hakko soldering station. I don't know if the recent Chinese usbc ones are better but the hakko one I have work well enough for everything I want to do.

I'm surprised to see the Portal listed. We have one for letting the grandparents talk to the kids, and it is the most unreliable piece of technology I've owned. Constant connection issues and laggy UI.

I'm curious about your thoughts on airtags. Had you tried Tile before? Are the airtags really better, and not just a knock-off product?

I have owned both. AirTags are superior to Tile tags in several major ways: (1) the batteries are replaceable (although I understand newer Tile tags also have them); (2) when you get close enough, the Find My app can give you directions to the tag; and (3) there are far more iPhones/iPads out there than Tile users, so if you leave your tag somewhere, its location is much more likely to be found with pinpoint accuracy.
