Products I own that I have gotten way more value out of than I expected:
Philips Norelco electric shaver- paid about $40 for it over 10 years ago and use it daily. Works just as well as new with annual razor changes (about $20).
Oral B electric toothbrush- the Sonicare toothbrush was previously mentioned in the replies and this is just the alternative I use. Again, over 10 years of daily use.
Inzer lever lifting belt- bought it for about $100 20(!!) years ago and I thought it was a pricy purchase for the time. Now I see it as an absolute bargain. I've been using this thing 3x a week for the past 20 years through thousands of squat sets and not one stitch on the leather is loose.
Instant Pot- I can't believe how much a simple pressure cooker has changed my life for the better but the time and money this saves me can not be understated. I've been using this nearly daily for the past 5 years and now consider it essential to my daily routine.
Foam roller- any dense foam roller will do. Mine was 20 bucks and will last a lifetime. Everyone can benefit from daily rolling.
