Aussies share their ultimate 2023 purchase: ‘Worth every cent’
- Replies 8
In 2023, Australians have been making some incredible purchases for their homes, transforming their living spaces and enhancing their lifestyles.
From high-tech gadgets to practical storage solutions, these purchases have been game-changers despite the ongoing cost of living crisis.
Let’s look at what Aussies think are their best purchases in 2023!
The conversation sparked when a curious shopper asked social media users to name the best product they bought and instantly fell in love with over the past year.
The responses were diverse and fascinating, offering a glimpse into the priorities and preferences of Australians when it comes to their homes.
Kristy, for instance, made a significant investment by adding a sparkling new pool to her backyard.
Despite the considerable cost, she claimed it was worth every cent, providing her family with a private oasis for relaxation and fun.
Meanwhile, Jayne took a more practical approach, investing in solar panels to save money on energy bills. This was a popular choice among many respondents, with one noting that the installation was 'absolutely worth it'.
‘We don't have to worry about bills for running aircon [the] whole day. Also, we try to run dishwashers [and] washing machine during [the] day to get solar energy used,' another user added.
In the realm of home appliances, Honey splurged on a robot vacuum cleaner and a mop with a docking station that included water and a dustbin.
'Ridiculously expensive but the best thing we ever bought,' she said.
'I should vacuum the corners and little places the vacuum can't reach, but otherwise [we don't vacuum]. I do have to clean the vacuum brush from long kids' hair every few uses.'
Practicality was a common theme among the best purchases of 2023.
Eva bought Prima Shelves from Elevato Home for her bathroom, providing extra space for her shampoo and conditioner bottles, shower sponges, and razors.
‘I love that they're not suction cups. It has super sturdy adhesive tape; they're long-lasting and will stay strong,' she said.
Another shopper named Lucie also found a solution for her cluttered cleaning cupboard with storage containers from Elevato Home.
‘Loved these for my under-sink storage—they're the perfect fit around the drain and easy to pull out. I've had them up for eight months, and no issues with them staying on. Super sticker attachments,' she said.
Yvonne splurged on a new King mattress and base from Snooze, with prices ranging from $900 to $2500. This investment in quality sleep was a decision she didn't regret.
The kitchen was another area where Australians made significant purchases.
Georgina bought a StirMate automatic stirrer from Amazon for $69.57.
'Got it off Amazon. It's rechargeable and just clips onto any saucepan. It's been great for making sauces, gravy that needs constant stirring,' she said.
Krystal, on the other hand, opted for a Ninja Multi-Cooker, which she claimed replaced her need for an oven.
'Never need my oven again. They're so good I got one for my mum too and even she hasn't used the oven since,' she said.
Other notable purchases included an ice maker, an air fryer, an air purifier, a Kitchenaid, a Bissel spot cleaner, Sabco spray mops, a pet cooling mat from Bunnings, a Franke kitchen tap with a pull-out sprayer, and a top loader washing machine.
