@haydesigner I, too, would be interested in a hammock stand…
Hammocks are relatively easy (and inexpensive) to find, but a stand that’s vaguely trustworthy does not come cheap.
@ybmuG Absolutely this!!! I came here to say the same thing. And bonus points to you for finding the photo too!! I wouldn’t have scoured to find that. Best gadget purchase on meh (as compared to an edible/consumable, which is another thread). Use it almost every single day since we purchased it; has changed our coffee consuming experience.
@JWhirly I even have a backup. Switch was bad on the first one and Motif sent me a replacement. I think I’ve fixed the original switch so i should be good for a while!
@JWhirly@ybmuG I’m still using mine daily, while a very nice Technivorm coffee maker sits in a box. I’ll get the other out when the Motif dies, but it hasn’t happened yet.
@rockblossom@ybmuG I do dread when my motif finally goes on the fritz, looks like they are hard to come by now. Fewer electronics and moving parts than the Keurig it replaced so many years ago, so hopefully have many years yet to enjoy it!
@awk@tweezak@ybmuG They have a recipe where you put a whole chicken in there, pressure cook it, then drop the air fryer lid to brown it. It’s really good.
The irk bags are my most used items. I’d buy just the bags (without any regrettable contents) if ever they were on sale. Other than that, I have a laptop backpack that’s turned out to be a decent investment
I used the car jump starter today.
Knee pillow and Bubba water bottle I use every day. Sphereo speaker pods. Apparently I’ve bought about a billion power banks. Where’d they all go?
Biaggi Hangeroo Garment / Duffel Bag was great until the zipper broke on the third use. So disappointed!
I would have to say that the IRKs that I’ve bought, although regrettable, have been the best. I’ve been able to spread and pass a lot of the regret along. Just seeing the regret in so many other’s eyes, is priceless.
Blendtec. That said the Motif coffee maker got a lot of use until we decided to get something better. Also, the Stone Mountain purse I got for my wife was a favorite for both of us. It was her favorite purse (outclassing Michael Kors and Dooney Burke in her VAST collection). And for me it was very useful whenever she would chastise me for shopping meh. I would mention the purse and she had to admit it was great.
From 2019, socks. (love them but don’t wear them much so they’re still in perfect condition)
From 2020, shower curtains. (still have two of these in use)
Does Morningsave count? That’s where I bought my couch. I bought my Ninja Foodi from Sidedeal. So it’s probably a tossup between Contigo coffee mug with handle or CamelBak tumbler, I use both every day.
@Nate311 MorningSave had a couch for sale? I had no idea. Does that mean I should be watching yet another site for things I might be able to use?
(I’m not saying I would’ve bought a couch, but maybe there’d be something else equally unexpected that I would buy?)
Things used daily: Leak frog, Meh blankets, cordless vac, comforters, vacuum sealer, bidet, sunrise alarm clock.
Other favorites: batteries, dog toys, various flashlights/lanterns, power banks, mini drones, crock pot, fidget spinners.
Panasonic Link2Cell Bluetooth Phone System
We use it every day for the last 9 years and it’s still going strong.
We are in a rural area and the house has a metal roof so cell reception inside is spotty. The (VOIP) landline takes care of that. Our house is 3 levels, so it is nice to have multiple handsets distributed around.
I use the Voza Wired Earbuds everyday at the gym. I also use the Jetz Scrubz Scrubber Sponge everyday in the kitchen. I love the sound quality from the Libratone Q Adapt In-Ear USB-C Headphones with my phone, but haven’t been using them as often as I used to.
Food Saver Vacuum sealer
Phantom Chef pans
iLife robot vacuum
iFrogz Sound Hub BT earbuds (love these!)
Dopp brand canvas backpack (packing it for Italy today!)
Sound Core noise cancelling headphones (also Italy bound)
plus some other stuff that doesn’t come to mind at present.
At least half of the nearly 100 orders are in pretty heavy rotation of use.
Irk plushie
I said “air fryer”, but forgot about my Shark vacuum and probably a dozen other things.
I got a KNIFE!
Actually, the most useful was the phone battery charger when the power was out for over a week.
The wall mounted fans from earlier this year as well as the outdoor heater with stand. Both have paid for themselves with how much we’ve used them.
A hammock and hammock stand a few years back.
I could use another set (hinthinthint).

Based on amount of use, I’d have to say our first purchase ever. Use daily, at least

Catshirts.
Thule computer backpack. i use it every trip along with the Qi phone charger and the Ful rolling duffel bag luggage.
Food. I use that stuff nearly every day.
the Ninja Foodi
@awk I love mine too.
@awk would be my second choice. Used probably 2-3 times per week
@awk @ybmuG maybe I should dust mine off and try it out. It’s just so darn big.
@awk Came here to say this. It’s not just an air fryer, but also a slow cooker and a pressure cooker!
@awk @tweezak @ybmuG They have a recipe where you put a whole chicken in there, pressure cook it, then drop the air fryer lid to brown it. It’s really good.
@awk @sammydog01 @tweezak @ybmuG can you share the recipe please??
I use my tea maker every day.
Various air conditioners of one ilk or another:
Fans, heaters, air purifiers, coolers, …
Meh has added to my comfort.
(And meh IRKs have at times added to my discomfort…)
The irk bags are my most used items. I’d buy just the bags (without any regrettable contents) if ever they were on sale. Other than that, I have a laptop backpack that’s turned out to be a decent investment
@togle We’ve used them as gift bags and people love them!
I used the car jump starter today.
Knee pillow and Bubba water bottle I use every day. Sphereo speaker pods. Apparently I’ve bought about a billion power banks. Where’d they all go?

Definitely cat tshirts
Cuisinart, deep fryer and food chopper.

I still use my foodsaver vacuum sealer, hair and beard clippers, and sonicare diamondclean toothbrush two pack to name a few.
The Statik 360 Pro magnetic usb cables. These have ended some frustration I’ve been feeling lately as I lose more fine motor skills.
More things than I realized that I use all the time!
Shark IZ531 PRO Cordless Stick Vacuum w/ Self-Cleaning PowerFins
Hotel Spa NOTILUS Antimicrobial High-Pressure Dual Zone Luxury Rain Shower Head (bought for my mother, she uses it several times a week)
Westinghouse Dry And Style Hot Air Blower Brush
2-Pack: Decor Glass Bowls with Vented Lids
2-Pack: Odec 3-in-1 LED Rechargeable Table Lamp & Flashlight
From 2019, socks. (love them but don’t wear them much so they’re still in perfect condition)
From 2020, shower curtains. (still have two of these in use)
Useful - tack life jump starter
Flavorful - kind bars
Does casemates count?
definitely the food saver vacuum sealer, the 1st thing I bought years ago… and the car jumper, it’s been a lifesaver.

(I’m not saying I would’ve bought a couch, but maybe there’d be something else equally unexpected that I would buy?)
@Nate311 @xobzoo Some years ago there was a couch that was sold in pieces to build it how you wanted it. I think it was meh as well at one point.
@Kidsandliz @Nate311 @xobzoo
Oh, was it a Love Sack couch?
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh @xobzoo Yes. It’s a LoveSac. I bought 5 bases and nine arms/backs.
@Kidsandliz @Nate311 @xobzoo Nice!
Things used daily: Leak frog, Meh blankets, cordless vac, comforters, vacuum sealer, bidet, sunrise alarm clock.
Other favorites: batteries, dog toys, various flashlights/lanterns, power banks, mini drones, crock pot, fidget spinners.
The zip lock bags, shark vacuum, solar and can also windup flashlight, power bank, larger bluetooth speaker (well got that in an irk).
PS and the irk bags (although I have learned the hard way you need to be careful how heavy they get as grocery bags).
Definitely the pots and pans. Those stackable ones they sold awhile back.
the reusable tote bag!
Panasonic Link2Cell Bluetooth Phone System

Folding massage chair, the best $100 I can remember spending. It pokes my back as much as I want.
/showme mountains of junk and crap
OK… let me wade through these Meh sales items to see if I can find something useful…
Socks, majority of my socks are from meh or sister site. They need more unsimply stitched women’s sock bundles. I like their socks.
stuff I use most (in no particular order)
Food Saver Vacuum sealer
Phantom Chef pans
iLife robot vacuum
iFrogz Sound Hub BT earbuds (love these!)
Dopp brand canvas backpack (packing it for Italy today!)
Sound Core noise cancelling headphones (also Italy bound)
plus some other stuff that doesn’t come to mind at present.

@chienfou I sold my Dopp canvas backpack to some Swedish guy at Victoria Falls for $200.
@Nate311
I LOVE that bag. It is my go to travel bag and I have used it on several trips out of the country as well as to carry all my stuff for a 4 day Frontier airlines trip.
It is supremely practical!
That was its maiden voyage…

My Happi air purifier
Knives-first thing I bought and still use plus others.
