Mine is my robot vacuum. I was on the fence about getting it, usure about how well it would work, and very doubtful that it would be worth the money.

I was dead wrong. It is the coolest thing since sliced salami. My house gets effectively vacuumed pretty much every day and all I have to do is empty the collection bin every now and then.

What have you bought that surprised you in this way?
