a KitchenAid 2-Speed Stick Blender would be great as we currently use a Bamix which is getting old and out of warranty – the multi device sounds great but we already have many of these in our kitchen and use them at the same time so need separate units
The veggie spiral cutter looks like it’d be a lot of fun!

I would most like the stick blender, I have one but it is very old and plastic.
There are so many neat appliances out there but I think a multicooker would be the most interesting and practical thing to try when you’re feeding a busy family of 6. An espresso maker … now there’s a not so practical yet amazing dream.
