When people think of gadgets they tend to think of ipods, smartphones, or something that goes ‘bing!’. Gadgets though are far reaching in their scope, and by no means have they bypassed the average household. With a little thought, some of the most obscure gadgets for the home can all make the home a better place for everyone that lives in it, and help you perfect the perfect dish for that winner dinner party!
The kitchen is a domain within a domain, and normally one household has at least one budding Raymond Blanc. So to ensure that souffle rises, getting your timing right is essential. This Chef’s quad timer will allow you to time four dishes at once, giving you the edge in dinner party rivalries! This clever gadget costs around £23.99, and improve the quality of your cooking for the whole family!
The Fly Zapper is perfect for eliminating bugs that maybe circling around in your space. The tennis racket size device electrocutes the bugs rather than squatting them. Apparently, you can get them in midair, which kind of makes you a little like a fighter-pilot! Obviously only use it on bugs! £8.99
A great way to keep in touch with family members that are away travelling or just taking a holiday, is by using the Wi-fi Digital Photo Frame. The frame connects to your wireless network in the same way as a laptop, and the device has its own email address. Any pictures emailed to the frame will be displayed. The frame can also display pictures from RSS feeds from Facebook and other social networking sites. Very clever. £169.99
Arguably the best household gadget ever invented, the Robomow, is a robotic lawn mower that trundles over the lawn cutting the grass. This truly remarkable piece of kit works by mowing within boundaries set by you, using perimeter wire. This next evolutionary step in technology can cost £1690 with the docking station, but is it not worth it so you never have to mo another lawn again? It even turns the grass to mulch and pushes it into the soil. Wow!
They say music is the food of love, but sadly, we all have different tastes and it is hugely unlikely that Mum is going to like anything by Muse. That being the case it is now possible to have one hi-fi that can play different music in every room in the house. The Sony Gigajuke can store up to 4000 albums, burn CD’s and play music from more or less any format. At £543.95 may seem like a lot of money, but unlike many other similar systems you do get everything in the box, and with Abba in one bedroom, Iron Maiden in the other, and Nat King Cole in the kitchen, a blissful family life is assured.
These gadgets if utilised correctly, will enhance family life and make your home a nice place to live.
