Hasta La Gadget!

Ah, robots. Don’t you feel great that such entities are around to help humanity, especially in tasks that get extremely repetitive such as at the assembly line? Well, there are also other kinds of robots at home, although we might not seem them that way, such as a vacuum cleaner or a window washer. Well, the $119.95 Grill Cleaning Robot is pretty much self explanatory – this particular robot would be able to automatically clean barbecue grill grates, thanks to a trio of electric motors that propel it around to complete its assigned task by a built-in CPU.

This CPU would do its bit to rotate the three cylindrical brushes as the robot moves across the grill grates, doing its bit to remove burnt bits of food and grease in but a few passes. The brushes’ brass bristles will not cause any kind of damage to your stainless steel or porcelain surface, and they can also be removed and are dishwasher safe for added peace of mind and easy maintenance. You can set the Grill Cleaning Robot to clean for 10, 20, or 30 minutes, where it sports a rechargeable battery that delivers up to four hours of power, taking an equal amount of time to juice up via an AC adapter.

It would not be too far off the mark to say that without electricity in our homes, we would feel crippled. There is no Internet to hook up to (at least, until the batteries on our smartphones that function as a hotspot dies off), and neither can we watch TV or do the simplest of household chores such as getting the clothes washed in the washing machine. Hence, it makes perfect sense to make sure that we use electricity as prudently as possible, which makes the €72.59 Smart Sensor Energy Egg and Power Strip worth checking out for any home.

The Energy Egg is actually a very simple device which intends to reduce your electricity bill, as it offers home automation all the while improving home safety, now how about that? It arrives in a stylish form factor and is a snap to set up, as you gain intelligent control of all your appliances and prevents wasted electricity. Thanks to cutting-edge motion sensor technology, the Energy Egg’s sensor will be able to know whether someone is in the room or not. The moment it detects a movement, it will double up as a remote control, wirelessly turning on/off lights and appliances depending on your prior preferences.

It is full well capable of controlling the entire range of your devices that have been paired with the unique power strip, socket and light switch. In order to gain the most savings possible, one will have to use the Energy Egg in a room where majority of the devices can be accidentally left on, such as in the bedroom as well as the living room. Since each family’s use of energy is different and dynamic in nature, the amount of money saved can vary between £50 to £150 each year.

To get started, just pair the Energy Egg and power strip wirelessly with but one click of the Energy Egg button. From there, you can plug in any device (TV, DVD, satellite receiver, games console, lamp, stereo, radio, charger, printer, electric heater etc.) into the 6 socket power strip, where a pair of power outlets will always remain on, while the other four outlets would be Energy Egg controlled.
