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!

Full disclosure we have an instant pot but I've had horrible experiences cooking rice with it. A big benefit of the rice cooker is that it's very hard to fuck up when using it, especially the nicer ones with the sensors. Plus the instant pot might stay with my mom anyway

    I have an instant pot and a little cheapy old rice cooker. it rocks, because you can use the instant pot to focus on your main attraction, but have your rice and maybe some dumplings or broccoli on the steam tray of your rice cooker. I am not a kitchen gadget guy, but those two are the heroes of so many dishes.
