Move in is the next few weeks. I’ve lived on my “own” (roommate I never interacted with) for a couple months my last semester of college, but that was a temporary setup whereas I’m hopefully moving out for good this time.

Bear in mind that the place has window/wall A/C and electric heating.

Things I’m already considering:

  • Drain guard
  • Bidet
  • Cold brew coffee maker
  • Rice cooker
  • Space heater? I’d like to keep the temp largely down during the winter to save money while warming up the part of the place I’m in
  • Key for washer/dryer

Things I already have:

  • Most furniture
  • Air fryer
  • Seltzer water thingy
  • Meal prep containers

General advice is also welcome!

  • A nice fan
  • Reusable soap dispensers (Can also save you money in the long term)
  • Shower organizers
  • A nicer bagged vacuum
  • In sink sponge holder
  • Lamps for indirect lighting

For ricr cooker, I haven’t seen any meaningful difference between the cheaoest rice cooker and a medium priced one. Either go for the zojiroshi or by the $20 one.

All good shouts. I have a dinky little stick vac I might just use for the moment as there’s no carpet
