2. A breakfast sandwich maker because being hangry in the morning is never a good time. BACON, EGG, AND CHEESES BEFORE WORK — WYA?

hamiltonbeach.com

This everlasting sandwich maker contains dishwasher-safe removable parts, and the surfaces are covered with a nonstick coating AKA no food will get left (erm, burned) behind.

Promising review: "I love love love this — it works perfectly! I've had mine for over two years, and it is used at least twice a day by someone in my house. It makes a great, easy grilled cheese sandwich for the little one, as well as awesome breakfast sandwiches for the adults." —Celle

Get it from Amazon for $22.12.

3. A slow cooker to make the the french toast casserole, apple cinnamon oatmeal, or stuffed peppers of your dreams. Wow. There's drool on my keyboard right now.

amazon.com

This 1.5 quart slow cooker comes with a removable inner pot, as well as cool-to-the-touch-you-won't-burn-yourself handles, a dishwasher-safe tempered glass lid, and three temperature settings: low, high, and keep warm.

Promising review: "I purchased this little bad boy over two years ago, and have used it often since then! This slow cooker is definitely on the small side, but as the saying goes — this thing is small but mighty, plus it doesn't take up a ton of countertop space. I use it mainly for stews, chili, and side dishes. It always performs well!" —Big Game James

Get it from Amazon for $11.08.

4. A four-cup coffee maker that's the epitome of the "bang for your buck" phrase. This precious caffeine baby is so inexpensive, but will last for years and years.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought mine in 2011, and use it at least once daily: it works great, is easy to clean, is portable when necessary, and it doesn't take up much space. Like any coffee maker, you have to run vinegar through it on occasion to keep mineral buildup out of the tube. (I like that this machine makes it easy to get rid of the remaining vinegar — just hold the unplugged machine over the sink. Then, just run a cup or so of water through a cycle to get the last bits out.) FYI, I've been drinking coffee for more than 35 years." —Deb

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

5. A citrus juicer to take brunch to the next level. Hello, mimosas mixed with FRESH-SQUEEZED OJ. Plus, this thing has a three-year warranty — yahoo!

amazon.com

So, how does this work? WELL! Just hold your freshly-cut fruit of choice — which doesn't have to be an orange, you can use this on grapefruits, limes, etc.! — on top of the juicer, press the fruit down on the top spinner, and you'll have fresh-squeezed juice in a matter of seconds. This juicer also has pulp-control settings (high, medium, and low) to give you as much or as little pulp as you want.

Promising review: "This is a great unit that is available in several different colors to accommodate most any décor, plus it boasts a three year warranty in the owner’s manual. I recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade to an electric juicer!" —B.

Get it from Amazon for $22.49 (available in three colors).

amazon.com, amazon.com

This handheld chopper holds up to 16 ounces of food, and can mince and grind everything from garlic and onion to chicken and cheese (those foods don't sound super appealing together, but I'm sure you know what I mean).

Promising review: "We've had this thing for almost two years now, and it still works like it's brand new. We have put meat and every kind of vegetable through it, it's easy to assemble, and the blade is sharp. For the price, you can't beat it!" —Sondra Crist

11. A hand mixer complete with two wire beaters, two dough hooks, a whisk, and six speeds for pastries that would put even Betty Crocker to shame.

amazon.com

Psst, all of these attachments are dishwasher-safe! AND! This mixer comes with a little storage case.

Promising review: "This has got to be the best hand mixe — I've tried a bunch of other mixers and brands, and they die after only a few cookie or cake mixes. But I bought this one a few years back, and it still works just as good as the day I bought it...and I use it a lot." —Mike

This waffle maker has cool-touch handles (you know, so you don't burn your hands), as well as an adjustable temperature control.

Promising review: "When they say this thing is non-stick, they are NOT KIDDING. I've had this for over a year now, and I've made waffles, brownies (which I would TOTALLY recommend — all you need is an extra egg), and cake in it. After I use it, I simply run my finger or a paper towel through the ridges to clean it, which only takes a minute or two. It works amazing, and I love it so much!" —Molly M.
