Rho is the gadgeteer in our house...I have to stop her from buying a new gadget at least once a week.

She initially bought a Cuisinart SmartStick (a hand mixer), but it isn't what she really wanted...and it isn't that great unless the amount you are trying to mix is small. So, she bought a ThunderStick, which is much better.

My in-laws gave us a Krups 4-cup coffee maker (which I still consider a gadget), which is perfect...that's about all we'll ever drink in a day.

We have a small carousel microwave, which tends to work as well as a larger one.

But by far, the best gadget we have is this small electric can opener from Hamilton Beach. All you do is stick it on the can, and it goes around the can all by itself. And it runs on batteries or AC...and it was only like $10.
