Mother’s Day is less than two weeks away, so there’s still time. Don’t wait until gift cards are your only option.
High-tech gadgets are of course the perfect gift for Mother’s Day. If you delighted your mom with a gadget a few years ago, now might be the time to upgrade.
Technology gadgets that were great a few years ago cannot be compared to newer models. If mom is using her 5-10 year old robot vacuum, there are newer and better options.
Robovacs are great for routine cleaning, but they can’t do everything. Blinds, curtains, sofas, etc. will not be cleaned.
Upright battery-powered vacuums like the Roborock Dyad Pro Combo are more versatile and are a good pairing with disc-style robot vacuums. Dyad Pro mops and sweeps at the same time. Add liquid cleaning solution to one compartment and add clean water to another tank.
The Dyad Pro vacuums and scrubs with three rollers to dry the surface of any standing water. LED indicators show dirt locations and adjust cleaning power for tough jobs. Fried eggs from the counter? I found that Dyad Pro removed everything from the floor, mopped it, and dried it.
Dyad Pro has an automatic cleaning feature. Roll the brush to clean it and dry the roller. Remove the power supply and add other tools to vacuum the carpet or dust the window treatments. Another attachment is for upholstered furniture, and there’s also a crevice tool. Since it is cordless, you can also use it to vacuum the inside of your car.
Sous vide cooking is a trendy cooking method. These devices circulate hot water around the food to reach a precise temperature. It has been used in steakhouses for decades. The precision wands and sticks of sous vide cookers are very effective. But an even easier way to cook sous vide is with an all-in-one unit like the Typhur Sous Vide Station.
It comes with a tank and water container. circulator. It has a built-in vacuum sealer and a video screen displays videos with recipes and step-by-step instructions.
You can put your steak or chicken in ice and tell them when you’ll be home. The tipool station begins heating water, melting ice, and cooking meat to the perfect temperature. When you get home, just place it on a hot frying pan or griddle and fry it quickly.
These and similar gadgets can be found online. For mothers on Mother’s Day and for fathers on Father’s Day. Nothing beats these ideas.
