Hundreds of Aussies have listed the luxury items that have ‘changed their lives’ – including a second dishwasher, high thread count sheets and pillowcases and owning a Thermomix.
A woman called Lauren posted on Facebook, where she asked others to share their favourite high-end purchases after she bought a Weber barbecue and fell in love with it.
‘What is a luxury item that has changed your life?’ she posted.
‘We recently invested in a Weber BBQ and it got me thinking what other amazing items do I need to add to my collection.’

GOOD QUALITY SHEETS
Many agreed that the first thing Lauren should think about investing in is good quality sheets, pillowcases and bedding.
‘High thread count sheets and pillowcases are a must,’ one woman wrote.
Another said if you want good quality, you should buy bamboo bedding.
‘Bamboo sheets are fantastic, I stayed at a friend’s house with them and they are worth every cent. It’s like sleeping on lucerne if that was a thing.’
Many said if you want good quality bamboo sheets, then a shop like Adairs is a great place to start.
‘I love ours from Adairs,’ one woman wrote.

THERMOMIX
Hundreds said that owning a Thermomix has completely changed their life.
Not only does the $2,000 device help to make food prep much easier, but it also encourages families to eat healthier too.
‘Owning a Thermomix has made it easier to eat healthier because food prep and baking has got a lot cheaper and less labour intensive,’ one woman wrote.
Others said they use the device to bake their own bread, Paleo sweet treats, yoghurt and smoothies – which saves them a small fortune in cafes.
If you’re looking to get the cleaning done without too much fuss or effort, dozens said a robot vacuum is a ‘game changer’ (stock image)
ROBOT VACUUM
If you’re looking to get the cleaning done without too much fuss or effort, dozens said a robot vacuum is a ‘game changer’.
‘Owning a robot vacuum and mop means I can literally clean the house without being home,’ one woman posted.
‘My robot vacuum is called Maddy and I love her,’ another added.
The gadgets start from about $500 on JB-Hi-Fi and range all the way up to around $2,000.
While a second dishwasher might sound like an unnecessary luxury, one woman said it’s been the single thing that has made a difference to her life (stock image)
SECOND DISHWASHER
While a second dishwasher might sound like an unnecessary luxury, one woman said it’s been the single thing that has made a difference to her life.
‘A second dishwasher is fantastic if you’ve got space,’ she posted.
‘It’s the best thing ever at the end of a party or weekend drinks. Toss it all in and wake up to a clean kitchen.’
Others said even just the luxury of having a first dishwasher has meant a lot to them:
‘An honourable mention for late uptake of the dishwasher,’ one woman posted.
‘Why didn’t we have one when the kids were little and we could have done without worrying about getting to the dishes everyday?’
ROLLER SHUTTERS
One woman said installing roller shutters at her home has made the biggest difference.
‘Not only have they helped with the heating and the cooling, but bed time and wake time is the same even with daylight savings,’ she said.
‘They are also a winner if you do night shifts.’
In the same way, others said double-glazed windows have been useful for keeping the noise out.
AMAZON ALEXA
Many have converted to the smart home way of life in recent years, and dozens said the best thing you can buy to make your house more tech-friendly is the Amazon Alexa (from $79).
‘I’ve connected my Amazon Alexa to the lights and it’s brilliant – I just ask her to turn them off,’ one woman wrote.
Others said you can easily sync your Amazon Alexa so it helps you in countless areas of your life, including with your recipes and shopping lists.
AIRPODS
Apple’s Airpods have a legion of fans across the world, and while they are pricey at between $200 and $300, many say they are easily worth the cash.
‘I know I’m late to the party, but the new Airpods are amazing,’ one woman wrote.
‘Amazing sound, noise cancelling and so comfy. Plus they are cordless!’
Another added: ‘I couldn’t agree more. I debated on whether to buy them for months. I have used headphones to sleep for eight years and only just decided to spend some money on some quality ones.
‘Cordless is even better than what I thought it would be!’
