10 Smart Appliances and Lifestyle Products to Upgrade Your Home With

5 May 2022

Raise the smart bar in your home with these unique and efficient devices.

Let’s be honest, we’ve at least doubted the legitimacy of smart gadgets once in our lives. But when it comes to building a modern home, adding these unique devices to your home isn’t just about keeping up to date with the trends. Your household chores can be made simpler with a vacuum cleaner with a built-in scheduler, and you can even take your fitness to the next level with a juicer that customises recipes according to your body type. Here, we list the top 10 smart appliances to get to one-up the efficiency at home.

The Smart Cleaner That Shows Up On Time

What is it: The Yeedi 2 Hybrid Robotic Vacuum Cleaner is a smart robot vacuum that comes with a wet-mop function.  

What’s smart about it: Using the Yeedi mobile application, you can access the robot’s smart navigation system. It creates a custom map based on your home layout, and you can then control how much of your home you’d like the vacuum to clean and how long you want the cleaning session to be. Plus, with its built-in scheduler, the vacuum will also clean, dock and recharge on time every day.

Why you should get it: You can kick back and not worry about dust build-up on any of your surfaces. Choose between two settings – the standard daily cleaning and Max. The latter will induce an intensive deep cleaning on carpets.

The Robotic Caregiver That Gives Real Time Updates

What is it: The Enabot Ebo Air Smart Familybot is a roaming care robot outfitted with a camera that monitors the real-time situation at home, so that you can ensure loved ones like your elderly parents, infants, children, even pets, are well and safe.

What’s smart about it: Its video chat function allows interaction with family members through real-time video. The bot also has facial recognition AI which recognises the faces of people and even pets, allowing for specific conversations. Its Tumbler design means it won’t tip over easily and is also able to stop automatically when it encounters obstacles.

Why you should get it: If you’re a caregiver or a parent with young children, but can’t be at home all the time, this gives you peace of mind. As all functions are easily controlled via an app, checking in on vulnerable family members is just a swipe away.

The Portable Sleep Nanny For Your Kids

What is it: The My Little Morphee Meditation And Relaxation Sound Box is an innovative sound gadget that helps your kids to relax and fall asleep when they need to.

What’s smart about it: This charming radio-looking sound box contains 192 pre-recorded meditative journeys – including music and sounds of nature. On top of that, there are restfulness-inducing sessions carried out by sleep experts. Children can simply tune in to a myriad of exercises involving visualisation, breathing and relaxation – all carried out by sleep experts.

Why you should get it: If your child is prone to sleep tantrums or feeling “afraid of the dark”, this device will calm him down and help him gain confidence when it comes to sleeping alone.

The Digital Massage Therapist We All Need

What is it: The Osim Ucrown Smart Head Massager is an inventive strap-on head massager that can help you to destress, relieve tension and headaches, while soothing your nerves with calming music.

What’s smart about it: Its human-touch acupressure massage mimics the agile and targeted touch of a professional therapist to reach vital acupressure points for easing muscle tension. You can choose from three massage modes - Relief (stronger), Relax (gentle) and Manual (customised). Connect the massager to your mobile device via blue-tooth and stream music on it while pampering yourself. There is also the option of adding warmth to the massage to unkink stress knots to help you feel relaxed.

Why you should get it: It’s like taking a quick trip to the massage therapist, minus the travel time. For those who experience tension headaches frequently, due to the amount of time you spend facing your screen, this will provide a quick and lasting relief.

The Workdesk That Adjusts to Your Optimal Height

What is it: The Kensington Smartfit™ Sit & Stand Workstation Desk is a portable ergonomic work table that is adjustable based on your posture needs.

What’s smart about it: It uses a system based on U.S. Army research that correlates hand and body measurements to customise the right heights and angles for optimal ergonomics. Its pneumatic lift feature effortlessly raises and lowers the desk to any height that is comfortable for you.

Why you should get it: Back problems are common with those who spend a lot of time working at their desk. Standing while working not only helps correct your posture, but it also keeps you more alert. The workstation’s quick-adjust properties will make things a lot more efficient if you’re looking for a change in the way you work.

The Juice Coach You Never Knew You Needed

What is it: The Kuvings Motiv1 Healthfriend Smart Juicer tailors the right combinations of natural juices you should be drinking for optimum health.

What’s smart about it: Simply place your thumbs on the analyser and the juicer can measure 7 types of composition in your body (body fat mass, body fat burn rate, muscle mass, body water, minerals, body mass index, and basal metabolic rate). From the scan results, it will suggest customised juice recipes for you.

Why you should get it: This is the juicer for health and wellness fans. Each body type is different and require a unique combination of vitamins. From high-protein mixes to anti-oxidant combinations, this smart juicer gets you the juice you need (every single time).

The Sound System That Does More Than You Think

What is it: The Belkin Soundform™ Elite Hi-Fi Smart Speaker With Wireless Charger is a speaker that amplifies your podcast/playlist/movie streaming and also charges your phone.

What’s smart about it: With Google Assistant, it allows you to play and control your music while you experience stunning sound throughout your home. Be treated to a resonant bass with crystal-clear detail at any volume. Its signature “Push-Push" dual woofer cancels vibrations while ensuring an impactful sound experience. It can also find answers on Google Search, manage everyday tasks, and control smart devices around your home via the user’s voice. All this while wirelessly charging your phone in double-quick time.

Why you should get it: This is efficiency in speaker form. Listen to your music and podcasts, search for information and charge your phone all at the same time.

The Refrigerator That Keeps You Organised

What is it: The Samsung Family Hub™ Side By Side Refrigerator is a physical and virtual home social media hub that connects family members through shared pictures, notes, ideas and messages.

What’s smart about it: Besides using it as a family notice board, its calendar allows the whole family to schedule important appointments and alert members on significant dates. The SmartView feature means one can enjoy video content while preparing meals just by mirroring favourite shows and movies on a Samsung TV or smartphone right onto the Family Hub™ screen. Just launch the Smart View app and select a compatible Smartphone or TV from which to mirror the content.

Why you should get it: You can now get the entire household involved when it comes to cooking or stocking up on groceries. Spend a fun night in with your children and get everyone to participate in dinner prep by streaming an easy-to-follow recipe video.

The Multi-Purpose Display Screen

What is it: The LG One: Quick Flex All-In-One Touch Display is a video call, meetings and presentations pro that allows you to chair and join online meetings with professional ease.

What’s smart about it: Its 43-inch all-in-one display, complete with built-in camera, microphones and speakers make setting up for video conferencing a real breeze. Its In-Cell technology enables touch and draw capabilities. With a dedicated touch pen, taking notes and drawing are easily done. All content can also be saved as files and shared via mobile phone.

Why you should get it: For those who work from home, this doubles up as a work and family item. Being mobile, adjustable and rotatable, it makes working remotely easy and productive. Furthermore, this is a great tool to have for activity sessions with your children. Play an interactive board game with them or get them to write down their daily plans.

The Weighing Scale That Keeps Your Health in Check

What is it: The sleekly designed Fitbit Aria Air is a weighing machine that tracks your weigh-ins, BMI, exercise and sleep goals.

What’s smart about it: Using blue-tooth wireless technology, it makes monitoring your weight goals a breeze.
