I have a system of smart speakers where I can play music all around the house since they are networked together. I can also control smart bulbs, streaming devices, a robo vac all with voice. I also have 6 smart plugs where I can control lamps, fans, fireplace through voice control. My thermostat and ceiling fans are also voice controlled. If I have to change settings on my thermostat I Can do so by voice instead of running downstairs and getting out of bed. I also have a weather station that gives weather sounding that hooks into the same system. One of my favorite set ups is a smart plug connected to my rice cooker. I mix Oatmeal in the rice cooker the night before and when I get up I tell it to start and take my shower shave and change clothes and when I go down stairs Oatmeal is ready. Life is good.

I like the idea of a bread maker, cool. I bought the Ninja fryer for gifts and the recipients rave about them.

Hands down the appliance that saves me the most time is the dishwasher.

The non-stick lining of our Zojirushi bread maker is starting to bubble. We have also had to replace the two paddles. We’ve had it for maybe four or five years.

Cuisinart coffee maker. I just put some grounds in a filter, water in the tank, and it makes COFFEE in just a few minutes.

I think that is all, unless you start adding in major appliances.

I have gotten rid of all my two cycle engines and have gone full battery power. The time and cussing saved by not having to screw with recalcitrant two cycles is immense.

I also bought a battery powered lawnmower that got rid of one more gasoline engine.

My plan is to have an integrated speaker system that is connected to a computer, whose sole responsibility is to play music.

That’s my plan, after I win the lottery.

We have something similar. It really does not save me any time, but it saves my wife a bunch, and it saves me some headaches. It’s called a cleaning Lady.

My issue with a breadmaker is that it only makes one loaf. That loaf gets eaten rather quickly and I want more!

“A toothbrush does a really good job at cleaning cheese graters.”

That’s a great idea that never occurred to me. Thanks for the tip.

I’ve thought about getting a Roomba or other robot vacuum cleaner. Does anybody have one? Are they worth it?

But my WIFE has a very very handy extra feature, granted it takes wayyyyyy more oil but the OCD overdrive... dang. I’ll compare your CLEANING LADY to my WIFE/wOCD any day.

My floors aren’t clean, they are OCD clean!

My wife loves the frother I bought her for her morning coffee.
