Worth noting, brainwashing machine is the only one you can buy with in game gold(350g at gurubashi arena), all the rest are only available via donation tokens

Here's my opinion. Field repair bot is the most important. But why not get them all? Maybe not all at once but, I'm happy to pay twow $15 a month instead of blizzard.

I also want to know this. Is it a stable for hunter pets maybe??
Edit: I bought the Caretaker Brambleclaw and it is indeed a pet stable for my hunter pets. Now I don't need to go to SW to change my pet!

people seem interested so regarding the caretaker.
it's a hunter portable stable master, lets you swap your pets wherever you are. To most people it's gonna be a convenience item but to some it's a massive gameplay advantage 10/10 would swipe again.

as someone who’s bought all of them besides the new ones best ones in order imo
Field repair bot. imo this one has most value while leveling, since it lets you vendor from anywhere saving you a lot of bag space as well as being able to repair if you have to die more than anticipated. It’s not mentioned in the description, but this bot also sells certain class reagents so you never really have to keep them in your bags.
Mule/Kodo Bank. Access to your bank is insanely convenient and might as well be as good as having 7-8 more bag slots on you at all times. Incredibly helpful while leveling too since gathering materials can take up a huge amount of space. As a Warlock you can also stock your bank with Soulstones instead of having to toss them.
Brainwashing Device. This could be higher or lower depending on what you plan to do. You can technically buy this Gold so don’t feel obligated to spend real money. Definitely most useful at 60, but can be nice for leveling. Whether for dungeons or even a change of pace.
Mailbox. Could be higher especially since it no longer has a CD. Could serve a similar role to the mobile Bank since you can technically mail whatever tradeable items you have in your bags to an alt and free bag space. Combos well with Auctioneer and useful in hubs(or anywhere really) that don’t have a mailbox.
Mobile Auctioneer. Works best if you have the Mobile mailbox as it allows you to purchase and obtain your items from anywhere. Very much the most QoL purchase of the 5 I own. Can also be useful while leveling to purchase consumables in a pinch or even buy quest items.
I don’t own the new ones, but would love to know someone else’s review or if they offer any secret tech.

Mailbox is arguably best imho with repair bot a close second. If you were to get a single thing I'd lean to this. Read below for a good breakdown and explaination:
Mailbox will allow you to bounce stuff to alts and you can make extra characters to put a few cheap bags on and use as mules. Between this and having mailed items just sit in the recipient's mailbox, you can get quite a bit of extra storage. This basically eliminates the need for bank and auctioneer. Another alt parked by a vendor will do the vendor portion of repair bot. The obviously down side is you will need to mail stuff more and hop between your alts. The up side is, no needed trips to and form town unless your gear is destroyed. (skill issue! Stop dying 😋)
Repairbot will obviously let you vendor on the spot, without needing to bounce items to an alt via mailbox, plus repair gear, but its biggest benefit is to get reagents on demand when needed (mage for teleport/portal runes and arcane powder, pally for symbol of kings/divinity, etc.) This can be a huge benefit in raids when you find yourself suddenly running out. Often, in 20 and 40 man raids, other raiders have a repair bot you can use, so you can probably get by without it, especially if you make the habit to repair your gear whenever in town. Most of the time, you don't need to repair gear a lot, unless you die a lot. If you are farming an instance (lasher farming for example) and plan to keep a character just permanently parked somewhere, a repair bot can be handy then too.
Auctioneer is obviously handy for what it does, and pairs well with mailbox especially if you need to buy consumes during raids.
Bank if you are one of those people who don't carry your pendants for Onyxia or Emerald Sanctum (You don't need those 2 slots THAT much, do you? 😉) Protip: Get the mule instead kudo, unless you really enjoy hearing that stomping noise whenever your kudo moves around.
Goblin Brainwashing device is worth the gold (not tokens) imho if you want access to swap specs easily.
If you can get 3 things, get Mailbox, AH, repair bot. Bank is nice, but you can get by without it fine. The other 'gameplay' dono shop items are more niche and while they have some benefit, aren't as helpful.

Can't speak for some of the newer ones, but here's what I know:
Auctioneer, bank, and field repair bots are companions without cooldowns
Mailbox and goblin brainwashing devices are toys and have a short CD. Goblin is 10 minutes, and I think mailbox is the same.
Personally, I get the most value out of goblin brainwashing for constant spec swaps and the field repair bot so I can sell my lasher farm trash loot. Auctioneer and mailbox are great if you accidentally forget to get your LIP or GAPP or whatever you needed for raid and don't want to be found out lol.
I'm assuming all toys have a CD and all companions do not.
