17 Users Tell Us About Splurges They Will Never Regret. Take Notes!
When Reddit collectively agrees on something, we pay attention. After all, this is the same internet jungle where people argue about whether water is wet – so when thousands of users unite to vouch for a purchase, it's basically the digital equivalent of striking gold. We've gathered 17 investment-worthy items that have Redditors breaking their usual skepticism to actually gush about spending money. From life-changing hair dryers that make your old one look like a sad leaf blower to countertop dishwashers that transform studio apartment life from "surviving" to "thriving," these aren't just random splurges – they're quality-of-life upgrades that users swear will make you wonder how you lived without them.
The true tea isn't just about what these items do – it's about how passionately users defend their worth in thread after thread. We're talking about people writing entire essays about why Loop earplugs deserve your entire paycheck, or why skimping on running shoes is basically betraying your future self. These testimonials don't come from sponsored posts or filtered influences – they're raw, honest reviews from real people who've crossed the bridge from "that's too expensive" to "shut up and take my money" and never looked back. Whether it's Apple products that have Android users questioning their life choices or bedding that feels like sleeping on cloud nine, each item has earned its spot in Reddit's hall of "worth every penny."

Review: "I have 5 dogs 4 kids and 2 cats. I have programmed this to run 3 times a day for a week now. I sweep today and literally I didn't even have a 1/4 of a cup of missed trash after not cleaning for a week. This was worth every penny. I empty it every night but so worth it saves me at least a hour a day and coming home to a clean for at night is like a weight lifted off my shoulders...Thank you for freeing up time for me to enjoy! Priceless!" - Elizabeth Caballero
Review: "This phone case is double layered so it offers good protection. I love the color warm beige with green. It is aesthetically pleasing. I think it’s good for the price." - Stephanie

How are people so rough/clumsy with their phones? In 20 years of owning phones I have never broken one or damaged a screen. I don't use expensive cases either.
Review: "I needed a small dishwasher to sterilize coffee mugs. I can load all 12 of them in one hygienic cycle and they come out CLEAN and they are germ free. I often use it for a regular load if I've been cooking all day. It's definitely a convenience and I'm enjoying it! I purchased the cart from Amazon as well! I put the bucket on the bottom shelf and just empty it after running a cleaning cycle. I like that it can stay in one place, right next to my small kitchen, and runs on only ONE GALLON of water! It's wonderful!" - DENISE D
Review: "This telescope is user-friendly and delivers sharp images of the night sky." - Andy Ackles
Review: "Have long curly hair and this hair dryer works perfect. You can tell right away that it’s made of very high quality. Works amazing. Heat level is wonderful. Hair dries fast!" - Beebeee

Quality knives will last a lifetime, in a home setting. Learn to hone and care for them properly, and never put them in a dishwasher.
Review: "These are so comfortable, and I love the gray color. I have purchased this brand and style in the past, and since it fits my foot so well, I just keep buying it. It comes in many colors, white, black, gray, brown, blue & white just to name a few." - Chris Anderson

I got myself a pair of asics nova blast 5, and omg the best shoe ever. I will always splurge on good running shoes
Review: "This Airfly Bluetooth device was fantastic. It’s tiny and connected easily to my Bluetooth headphones. The charge on the Airfly was awesome. It says it has 20+ hr charge and I believe it. I flew at least 10 hrs and didn’t have to charge it." - KKT
Review: "I only have a huge cast-iron pan but wanted something more manageable and quick to use for bacon or eggs or peppers and onions for a fajita, and cooked beef tenderloin steaks, which came out perfectly. The pan is preseasoned, but you still have to be careful about washing drying and maybe adding a little bit of Reese seasoning again.. price was excellent." - SSR
Review: "I’ve struggled to find good quality ear plugs for sleeping for years. I’m very sensitive to noise while sleeping. I also sleep on my side and it’s hard to find ear plugs that are comfortable to sleep in. I’m so glad I found these ear plugs. They have been highly effective and increased my quality of sleep at night. They come with different sizes which means I could find the best fit for my ear size. They are super easy to clean to make sure my ears are free from bacteria. This was also very important to me as I am susceptible to developing pimples inside my ears. Overall, these are the best ear plugs I’ve used for sleep and won’t go back to foam ear plugs ever again!" - FutureRN
Review: "I recently purchased the Levoit Air Purifier, and I have to say, it’s been a game changer for my bedroom! I’ve been struggling with airborne dust and pet dander but after using this purifier I’ve already noticed a huge difference in my air quality and overall comfort." - Amanda Mendez Wilson

Review: "This is my second pair of AirPods Pro 2 (first pair that has USB-C charging) and I just can't get enough of this essential accessory if you are in the Apple Ecosystem. It pairs up the minute you open the lid and delivers top notch noise cancellation for a pair of earbuds. It really is an experience the first time you turn on noise cancellation and the world around you just melts away. Perfect when you are on a plane and that crying baby next to you is driving you nuts." - Bruce C

And now you're just throwing countless coffee pods into landfills. I have a Keurig machine, but I bought a re-usable basket and grind my own coffee. The only waste is coffee grounds.
Review: "I absolutely LOVE this product! At first I was a little skeptical on how well it would work. I decided to give it a try and fell in love. I have two playful dogs, who love to spend their days outside getting messy. It has always been a chore to clean their paws when they come inside. After it rains, I would usually wipe their paws with a towel. Once I received this product in the mail, I desperately wanted to give it a shot. I let the boys play outside till they were all dirty. I followed directions and added water to the cup. I scrubbed their little paws with the cup and was amazed at how well it cleaned!! It even cleaned the dirt from their nails, which I was never able to do with a towel!! I would totally recommend this product to anyone who has a dog!" - Jackson
Review: "I’ve been using the COSRX Snail Mucin Essence for a while now, and it’s honestly become a staple in my routine. I have acne-prone skin, so I was nervous at first, but this essence has been amazing. After applying it and following up with a moisturizer, my skin feels smooth and refreshed in the morning—definitely not oily, which is a huge win for me! I also love that it doesn’t have a strong scent (or really any scent at all). The texture might feel a little different at first, but patting it on instead of dragging it works best. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel heavy." - Roselle
