We live in such a technologically advanced world. We can do so much with just the click of a button, and sometimes, clicking that button isn’t even required. Gadgets make your life easier, and they are just plain fun. From the ultimate bedroom gadgets to home electronic gadgets, treat yourself this new year. Check out our list of smart devices and cool gadgets you need for your apartment.
1. Samsung Flat 65” LED The Frame Smart TV
Some people may suggest that having a TV in your apartment is imperative, but finding a place in your home where the TV doesn’t clash with your décor is almost always impossible. TVs are cool to watch but not so great to look at.
That’s why you need Samsung’s Frame TV. When you’re not using it, the TV looks just like a piece of art. Each TV includes a gallery of professional art to choose from with one hundred art pieces from ten different genres. The frame is customizable; choose from black bezel, wood, white, or metal frame. Samsung’s no-gap wall mount hangs your frame TV flush to the wall so that it looks like a real picture.
2. Amazon Echo
We live in a day that when you talk to technology, it talks back. Amazon’s Echo, which has a built-in digital assistant called Alexa, is a voice-activated personal assistant that can order pizza, make shopping lists, play music, read recipes, order stuff online, tell you the weather, read news headlines, and much more. Alexa will even sing to you, play games with you, and tell you jokes.
The Amazon Echo Dot is a smaller and more affordable version of the Echo but has the same functionality. The Echo Dot can also be connected to a Bluetooth speaker because the sound quality and level on the Dot is not that great. The Echo Dot is a really cool gadget for your bedroom. Just command Alexa from your bed. You can connect the Echo to Smart Home devices to control locks, lights, and more.
3. TP-Link LB100 Smart LED Light Bulb
If you’re green behind the ears when it comes to smart gadgets, get your feet wet with this cool gadget for your bedroom. Just screw it into any existing socket, download the app onto your phone, and connect the lightbulb to your Wi-Fi. Now, you can dim the lights, schedule when to turn lights off and on, and make other adjustments all from the comfort of your smartphone. Or, if you don’t feel like fidgeting with your phone, you can just say “Alexa, turn off the lights,” and your wish is her command. Now, that’s the ultimate bedroom gadget.
4. iRobot Roomba 960 Robot Vacuum with Wi-Fi Connectivity
Why vacuum when you can just have a robot do it for you? The iRobot Roomba 960 lets you clean, schedule, and customize cleaning preferences from your smartphone. The Roomba is also compatible with the Amazon Echo (Alexa) and the Google Assistant. This robot vacuum can clean an entire level of your home thanks to visual localization. After 75 minutes, the Roomba automatically shifts into “dock” mode and returns to its charging base.
5. iTouchless Deodorizer Automatic Sensor Touchless Trash Can
When you live in an apartment, taking out the trash every day or every other day may not be necessarily convenient. Sometimes, rotten food or dirty diapers sit in our trash cans for a day or two, and they stink! Avoid this with this sensor-activated deodorizing trash can. The trash can includes one activated carbon odor filter which absorbs and neutralizes odors for a fresh smelling home.
This trash can is also motion activated and opens just when you need it to open. That way, you don’t have to worry about nasty odors wafting throughout your apartment.
6. Crock-Pot Slow Cooker with WeMo
You can’t have a list of smart gadgets without the smart Crock-Pot. This is probably our favorite of the home electronic gadgets because who doesn’t love to eat? The slow cooker comes equipped with WeMo technology which allows you to control the crock pot’s cooking settings when you download the free WeMo app onto your phone. You can even switch the crock pot from “cook” to “warm” so that your dinner won’t get overcooked if you’re running late.
7. Indoor Smart Fresh Herb Garden Kit
Nothing adds flavor to your food like fresh herbs. If you love cooking but can’t keep a plant alive to save your life, this smart gadget is for you. This indoor garden can water itself for up to a month with no maintenance required. Innovative technology combines smart soil, built-in sensors, and energy-saving LED lamps for a fresh and unique experience. Just insert, plug, and go.
8. Wi-Fi Enabled Coffee Maker
If setting the automatic timer on your coffee pot is too much of hassle, set the timer from your smart phone. This Wi-Fi enabled coffee maker by Mr. Coffee lets you start the brewing process, adjust timers, and set up reminders when you download the free WeMo app. The stainless-steel carafe is both fashionable and keeps your coffee hot longer than the standard glass carafe. Grab-A-Cup auto pause stops the cycle if you need a cup before the brewing is finished.
