I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

Now that more devices are on USB-C, but the standard isn’t labeled well, it’s worth getting a good cable/charge block that will regulate power appropriately.

Adam Savage had the team that does CT Scans of various products and you really can start justify why some good charging cables cost $100.

I probably wouldn’t spend that kind of money but I’m willing to spend more on one really good one that I can use in many devices.

For a little more than $100, you can get a Chromebook, which will come with a USB-C PD cable. And now you also have a Chromebook.

This is no joke. I had a cheap usb-c cable catch fire when plugged into my laptop.
