Thanks to technology, it’s easier than ever to efficiently brew your morning coffee, keep your home secure, and wash your clothes. While there are many interesting gadgets and smart appliances, here are some of our favorites to improve your home.
Smart Washer
We all have a limited amount of time to get things done, and laundry is no exception. If you’re ever guilty of forgetting to put the wash in the dryer, or if you struggle to get stains out, a smart washer and dryer can help. These energy-efficient appliances detect the right water level, have an impeller plate to gently agitate clothes, and notify you when a cycle is complete. You can wash your clothes more efficiently and enable voice commands. Some have extra features like a stain-fighting setting, and the ability to create custom settings. And, of course, the perfect addition to the smart washer is a smart dryer.
Home Security
Home security is always a top priority. Thankfully, there are many options when it comes to smart home security systems.
