As a working mom of 2, I REALLY don’t have time to clean—or cook, for that matter. But that doesn’t mean we live in a garbage pit and order takeout 5 nights a week.
Home appliances for efficiency have helped me tackle chores I don’t want to do, so I can spend my free time the way I want—sitting in pediatrician waiting rooms and pretending to understand the latest school policies (laughs sarcastically).
Parent or not, no one wants to spend all day cleaning. So, I’m sharing my convenience hacks, i.e., appliances that keep my home clean and healthy—with the least effort possible.
You’re welcome!
Multifunctional vacuum cleaners
My robot vacuum and mop have changed my house-cleaning game for the absolute best. Now, my Saturday mornings are all about pancake breakfasts with the fam—not vacuuming and mopping the floors.
The robot vacuums and handles debris multiple times a week—even when I’m not there. Plus, I have a cordless vacuum for wet and dry messes—because spilled cereal and milk definitely happen in my kitchen—at 6:50 am.
Robot vacuums
Robot vacuums have vastly improved since they were released. Nowadays, these companions deftly navigate around furniture and avoid stairs. Many automatically self-clean and empty, saving even more time.
I love a robot vacuum that vacuums AND mops, like the Eufy X10 Pro Omni. It boasts a high suction power, obliterating hair, crumbs, and debris in floor cracks. Rotational mopping pads wipe away spills and dried grime while the docking station lets the vacuum self-empty and refill with water.
Another slightly more expensive option is the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni. Its hot water mop thoroughly scrubs floors, and the 8,000 Pa of suction keeps carpets and hard floors dust-free. Built-in AI ensures the machine fast and accurate!
