We are currently living in a world that is dominated by technology. It seems like smart devices are springing up like mushrooms after the rain, and have made their way to every aspect of our lives.
While there are some gadgets that are ridiculous and unnecessary, there are quite a number of connected devices that everyone should own.
But with a myriad of gadgets and gizmos, how do you really know if one is worth buying? Today, let me present with you 6 must-have gadgets that will not only save you time but also money.
1. Motion sensor switch.
A motion sensor light switch is definitely a convenient way to save time and energy. With its advanced sensing technology, the lights are automatically turned on when it detects motion, and are turned off when the motion is not detected anymore. Now, you don’t have to worry about lights left opened in rooms and hallways that waste a lot of energy and money.
2. Programmable thermostat.
$20-Honeywell 1 week programmable thermostat to a $200-Nest learning thermostat that you can control remotely through Wi-fi. Either way, this product can save you up to 10% on cooling and heating costs.
3. Power strip and surge protector.
In case you don’t know, devices and appliances left plugged in are still consuming power, which in turn, wastes energy costs. That is why a power strip is definitely a must-have for every home so you can easily shut off electronics when not in use. These outlets also protects your devices from surge when voltage fluctuates, swells, or spikes.
4. Freshness extender.
Food waste is a worldwide epidemic which is not just causing a toll to our environment but our pockets too. To save money and reduce waste, make sure to keep your fruits and veggies fresh for longer by storing them properly and using freshness extenders. This one from BluApple promises to save you hundreds of dollars every year. It will slow down the rate of spoilage by absorbing ethylene gas, which signals produce to ripen.
5. Self-cleaning electric shaver.
For regular groomers, self-cleaning electric shavers are a must-buy. It may cost you a couple hundred dollars upfront but think about the money you save from disposable razors and shaving creams. Not only that, you will be able to clean your hair with foam and gel through a unique dual-filtration system, lubricate the shaver for the perfect shaving, and automatically charge after use – all in a single press of a button.
6. Slow cooker.
Also known as a crockpot, this kitchen gadget should be a staple in every household. With a slow cooker, you can easily whip up soups and stews from your leftover meats and vegetables. Plus, it saves you so much cooking time because all you have to do is toss the ingredients inside your crockpot and let it cook there while you do your other chores.
Techy or not, these devices are really worth investing in!
