What useful gadgets/equipment would you recommend for a new flat? E.g. induction cooktop, oven with pyrolese, air purifier/humidifier, cordless vacuum cleaner (eg Dyson), LED lights?..

What is really nice and convenient to have, based on your experience? I'm a bit behind in the technological progress..

Fred

An LED projector with a minimum 5.1 sound system.
No new flat is complete without a cinema.
I use an LG projector - excellent.

Lights.
Use LED bulbs, you'll help to save the planet, starting with your bank account. They have a very nice, flicker free light, and use almost no electricity.
I would also add some very low power LED lights. This are great when watching you home cinema, or just want a candlelight moment with your lover.
