Google Chromebook Pixel - beautiful design (I've gotten compliments on it at conferences), and a blazingly fast laptop without any bloat that lets me use it for the 3-4 things that comprise 80-90% of my laptop usage (browsing, email, and writing). Makes working on anything but a top-of-the-line MacBook or PC feel frustratingly laggy.
The ANOVA precision cooker. Besides being a brand named after a statistical test, this thing feels like having a cheat code for cooking. From a tech perspective: all the settings are available on the actual device, so you can run it without downloading an app. Optionally, you can download the app, which is actually good and allows you to control the device over Bluetooth and look at recipes. In an age of absolutely awful, non-optional "apps" for "smart" devices, the execution here is refreshing.

As a person who somehow manages to be Terrible At Headphones, Airpods have been a great user experience so far.
