I don't really spend money. Most people spend hundreds of dollars on a microwave but I just got mine for free from the side of the road. I had to throw my toaster away to make room for it though, but that's fine, my toaster was just trash I found on the side of the road anyway.

Bought one of these a year or so back thinking it would make slicing onions easier with a more consistent thickness when making liverwurst sandwiches but it sucks, as you have to grip the handle while trying to slice and the onion just shifts around anyways.

No, I just bought them a couple of years ago off Amazon (for $15). The issue is the onion holder thingy doesn’t lock so it’s really no different then just holding the onion with your hand (which is in fact easier).

I've only used the Y shaped peelers, so those are the classic ones for me. The OXO handle is comfortable to hold, but they're generally uncomfortable to use .
I don't think it's wasteful, but I've never used the knifegrip peelers so maybe I just don't know. I did have a cabbage peeler that was jagged and took off thick layers off stuff.

Got the instant pot duo crisp. I wouldn't buy a pressure cooker or an air fryer by themselves but this duo made sense to me. So far I use it 2-3 times a week so it has been worth it. I got the 8 quart so I can fit a lot in. Can cook and crisp a full chicken in an hour. I've done roasts that turned out perfect medium.
