Don't have the space and good, convection, toaster ovens are expensive

Comparable in size to a good stand mixer; less expensive.
Can get one to fit a 9x13 pan at under $150, $200 if you go for the deluxe model and marque.

Good appliances:
Toaster oven (make sure you get one big enough for your needs; if you plan on doing real baking, 9x13 size (6+ slice) is handy, 6 slice is the smallest I can recommend, although 4 slice does have a place if you're extremely space constrained)
Crock-pot (insist on removeable crock; I think that any temperature controls fancier than off-high-low are a meme, but you might find value)
Blender (do some research; the ones that can take a mason jar have some nice utility, get a glass or metal pitcher (or high temperature rated plastic you trust) and you can blend soups hot, many of the other higher performance models may not be worth the extra spend unless you're blending for 3+ hours daily). If possible, get a food processor attachment.
Rice cooker (go cheap, or go top of the line, the midrange ones suck; either way there will be a modest learning curve)
Water boiling kettle (or similar). Faster than the stove or microwave. If you don't make tea, cocoa, instant noodles, or jello, pass.
Some people swear by contact grills. Depends on your situation.
Electric knives can be pretty good, if you actually cook big chunks of meat or bake your own bread or trim cakes for decorating.

A LOT depends on what you WANT to do. If you never eat rice, the rice cooker doesn't help you. If you simmer stocks regularly, a crock pot can be very convenient. If you want your 10 year old to be unsupervised but make themselves grilled cheese sandwiches, that contact grill sounds tempting.

Instant buyers remorse:
Pizzaz pizza carousel
Quesadilla griddle that bites wedge shapes in while it cooks
Smoothie blender with a tap on the pitcher
The all in one breakfast toaster that fries an egg, cooks bacon, and browns english muffins (there is a use case; you and I aren't it)
Babycakes anything (unless you plan on misusing it for something else, like takoyaki)
Any juice extractor (unless you already drink kale 4+ days a week)
A Presto Hotdogger sausage electrocutor (look it up)
