Under 1000:

- robot vacuum. Now my house gets vacuumed (that should tell you how much I hate doing it.)

- the bidet seat is not tremendously life changing but it's very helpful.

Under 100:

- a quality probe thermometer. I use it for everything baked and most ways of cooking meat. Nothing is over~ or undercooked anymore. I do have another one with 2 probes for bbq/smoking -- you can use the two in the point and flat of a brisket, which tend to cook to different temperatures, or use one to monitor temperature of the grill and the other for the meat. It's also bluetooth so I can monitor temps from the comfort of my computer desk.

- a good rice cooker. Frees up a burner, rice is done when you tell it to be done and it's always perfect.
