Time Saving house gadgets
iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum
Cleaning the floors is not one of my favourite chores and it’s probably not yours either. A survey conducted by the cleaninginstitute.org in 2018 revealed that the average person spends about 6 hours a week cleaning- 7 hours if you are a parent. Imagine being able to cut a few hours off that time without compromising on cleanliness.
Now you can easily do this with this smart little gadget called the iRobot Roomba Vacuum. It is Wi-Fi connected and works with Alexa. It offers personalized cleaning schedules and routes. It is equipped with sensors that will allow it to navigate efficiently around your house without bumping into anything or falling down the stairs.
Corners are well taken care of with its Edge-Sweeping brush. Impressed? One more thing: its sensors allow iRoomba to “learn” the areas in your home with more traffic so it will clean those more thoroughly.
We are talking serious time saving products for busy moms here.

Automatic Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box
I haven’t met a person who loves cleaning their cat’s litter. Besides costing you a few good minutes, it is just plain yukky.
