5 Household Gadgets You Need For Your Place

Moving into your own space for the first time is an exciting (albeit slightly scary) life event. You’ve finally reached a level of financial stability and independence all young adults aspire to, and you control all the decisions. However, this also means you are responsible for cooking, cleaning, and maintaining your new home. Luckily, these five gadgets will help you keep your new abode in tip-top shape.

1. Instant Pot Pro

Long gone are the days when you need dozens of countertop appliances that still force you to spend hours in the kitchen to prepare a basic meal. Instead, you can simply invest just over $100 in the Instant Pot Pro and dinner is served! 

This 10-in-1 small kitchen appliance can make everything from rice to an entire chicken in less time than you’d ever imagine. It’s fully programmable, and the dishwasher-safe removable pot makes cleanup easy. I promise you won’t regret purchasing one of these household gadgets.

2. Belife S11 Cordless Vacuum

When most people think of vacuums, they think of bulky, corded things that only clean the carpet. However, that’s not the case with the Belife S11 Cordless Vacuum — a helpful tool designed for every surface.

This lightweight, cordless vacuum can pick up dust, pet hair, cat litter, and other messes on your hardwood floor, low pile carpet, tile, upholstery, stairs, bed, curtain, furniture, or in your car. Its retractable tube makes it ideal for short people, and the three included attachments give you plenty of options based on where and what you need to clean up. Best of all, the 6-tier sealed HEPA filtration and non-fading suction ensure that everything gets sucked up, and the only thing that comes back out is purified air.

3. Ninja 2-Basket Air Fryer

Although an Instant Pot can make elaborate dinners in a flash, it’s not the only countertop appliance that makes cooking easy. The Ninja 2-Basket Air Fryer is also worth its weight in gold because of its time-savings and cooking capabilities.

This nifty contraption features two baskets, so you can cook two items simultaneously and use the Smart Finish feature to ensure everything is done (and hot) at the same time. The appliance also includes six versatile cooking modes: Air Fry, Reheat, Bake, Air Broil, Roast, and Dehydrate. 

4. TubShroom Tub Drain

One of the most disgusting things young adults discover when they move out on their own is how easily sinks and tubs end up with clogged drains due to hair and other items building up within. Luckily, the TubShroom Tub Drain makes this a non-issue.

This drain replacement can effortlessly catch hair from humans and pets. It also ensures your drains don’t clog. It fits any standard bathroom sink or shower tub drain; you simply remove it and wipe it down to clear out anything in the drain.

5. Google Nest Doorbell + Camera

When you live alone, security can (and should) be a priority. Luckily, gadgets like the Google Nest Doorbell make this easy.

This handy doorbell camera lets you see who is at your door anytime, either from your smartphone or smart display. It also notifies you when packages arrive (or disappear), and you can communicate with the person at the door thanks to the built-in microphone and speaker. Finally, since this doorbell uses battery power, you don’t have to go through a complicated installation process — you just pop off the device every 2-3 weeks and charge it up.

Moving out on your own is an exciting life event, but it can add a lot of work and responsibility to your plate. With these and other handy household gadgets, though, you can master cooking, cleaning, and care without wearing yourself out.
