The most expensive item I have ever purchases, besides house and car, would be my stove. It has a stainless steel exterior and ceramic cooking top with six burners. It is a larger appliance, with many great features I often take advantage of. This includes the self-cleaning and ability to boil water in under a minute. Since I often need to boil water, this saves a lot of time and makes preparing meals a lot easier. It is also energy efficient and thus saves money, because it requires less power to run. It also matches the other appliances in my kitchen. However, it did cost more than $2,500 which is more than I ever spent for an appliance up until that point.
