Progress is now at the service of mankind, so any effort to be reduced or even completely annulled so you will enjoy more free time.

The first example is a steamer and a cleaner which will keep your floors shiny clean. Enjoy the most hygienic cleaning results as the steam kills germs and bacteria without chemicals and using only water so it does not leave any kind of chemical residues on floors. The combined action of the device saves you time and effort as the sweeping function removes dirt, dust and all kinds of crumbs, while the steaming function sanitizes.

Second comes this portable heating and cooking device based on magnetic induction processes. Such is the size and versatility of it that it can be stuck directly on to a pot, a pan, a mug etc. to heat the contents. This reduces the amount of space required for conventional cooking whilst adding portability to the process. Integrated sensors detect the food type being heated so as to automatically adjust the time and temperature.

A robot vacuum cleaner this time which is anybody’s dream. Extremely thin, with a thickness of just 5 centimeters, this robot has an operating range of 50 minutes during which it cleans the floors and the places where conventional vacuums barely get.

Imagine a fully-automatic, Wi-Fi enabled craft beer brewing appliance. And at roughly the size of a microwave, it’s ideal for even city-dwelling home brewers.

You can access its database of 100 recipes or provide it with your own custom recipes based on your favorite brews.

This time we are looking at a very own coking robot. It’s a Wi-Fi enabled robotic arm that works over a burner, stirring, mixing and cooking your meals for you. The startup also offers a meal plan that accompanies the robot which is geared towards the culinarily averted. For $5 or under, you can have fresh ingredients in prepared trays delivered, and all you have to do is slide them into the robot.

They say that in the USA approximately 40 percent of the food supply is wasted, equaling more than 20 pounds of food per person, per month. This smart refrigerator claims to have the answer. It has a touch screen which, in addition to serving as a potential family organization center, also serves as a way to monitor what’s in your fridge and when it expires. Apparently, the fridge will also use its list of contents to suggest recipes that are available to you.
