Your NO-regrets purchases

Pickles89

I hope this is the right section of the forum, but I thought we should have 2 threads - one for everyone's favourite purchases and one for the things that you wish you'd not wasted money on.

This is the No regrets thread!

I want to sing the praises of my Dyson V6 Absolute. It's been great! Of course it has it's negatives too, but for what I bought it for (keeping on top of my bedroom, especially the mess of sand/substrate/shredded cardboard that the gerbils create) I am so happy with it. I've had it just over a year now.

What about you? What's been worth it's wait in gold as far as you're concerned?

Yes, don't you?

Our Nissan Leaf - bought 2.5 years ago, and still fun to drive, good for the environment and very cheap to run.*

*Hope this hasn't jinxed it

POPPYOSCAR

Our Aga cooker.

Yes it was expensive, my only extravagance, but worth every penny to me.

Much less than the price of a new car (my car cost £500) and you only ever have to buy one as they last forever.

It is the heart of our home. It is the first place everyone goes to warm up when it is freezing cold outside. It dries all our washing and of course is great for cooking.

I would hate to be without it.

My Hulsta bed. It cost thousands when we bought it 12 years ago but is still as comfortable as the day it was delivered. I'm hoping it lasts as long as my parent's one - theirs is 6 months younger than me and I'm going to be 50 in March.

Of course not, or anything that has "V6" in it's name :rotfl:

A petrol driven diamond blade stihl saw and a massive air compressor, but I keep them in the garage.

Gerbils in your bedroom :huh: whatever will they think of next . . . :eek:

Mrs. Sleazy - Cost a lot in both time and effort, but it was worth it! :j

Actually my best purchase was the near £25,000 we spent on IVF. Our daughter is worth every penny and though it was the most emotionally challenging time of my life I think it makes me appreciate how truly lucky and blessed I am to have her. That a stranger donated her eggs to me for no compensation is the most valuable gift I have ever received - truly priceless.

Kinda boring, but I love my dehumidifier! I got an Ecoair DD3 Simple 18 months ago, and it's effective and simple to use (as the name suggests).

I also had a few pairs of Shure E2C earphones, which were amazing. Sound quality and noise isolation were superlative, but the wiring always seemed to fail after 24 months and they don't make them any more.

I also love my PC. I built it myself about 8 years ago and it's still one of the fastest PCs I've used. Rock-solid reliability, and great value-for-money despite the initial outlay (and a few upgrades).
