For me, it's an electric toothbrush. It doesn't matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don't ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can't be replicated with a regular toothbrush.

I really don't like the proprietary batteries each company use for their cordless tools though. I don't want to be locked into 1 company and I don't want to buy 8 different batteries.

    While I agree that vendor lock in sucks, getting a universal standard open source tool battery is not likely to happen. I decided to go with the Milwaukee M18. They have a huge variety of tools available, and they all use the same interchangeable battery. I have a drill, an impact driver, a circular saw, and hedge trimmers.

    Somewhat tempted to go with corded and a generator. Large battery could work but they cost a lot more if you want high watt output and realistically it's not going to be used super frequently outside of cable reach.I

    The money saved by not buying a battery with every tool would be huge too. Some won't even let you buy without a battery...
