Overcoming family turmoil is not magic. Smart home appliances will do the tedious work for you. Here are my favorite gadgets to keep things running smoothly. Then you can focus on everything else going on in your life.
As a working mom with two kids, I really don’t have time to clean or cook. But that doesn’t mean we live in a dumpster and order takeout five nights a week.
Efficiency appliances allow you to tackle chores you don’t want to do and spend your free time however you want, whether it’s sitting in the pediatrician’s waiting room or pretending to understand the latest school policy. (laughs sarcastically).
Parents or not, no one wants to spend all day cleaning. So here are some useful hacks I use: appliances that keep your home clean and healthy with minimal effort.
you’re welcome!
multifunctional vacuum cleaner
My robot vacuum and mop have completely changed the way I clean my house for the better. Now, Saturday mornings are just a pancake breakfast with my family, and I don’t vacuum or mop the floors.
The robot vacuums and takes care of trash multiple times a week, even when I’m not there. Additionally, I have a cordless vacuum cleaner to remove wet and dry dirt. Because spilling cereal or milk definitely happens in the kitchen. At 6:50am.

Robot vacuums have improved significantly since their release. Now these companions deftly maneuver around furniture and avoid stairs. Many self-clean and empty automatically, saving you even more time.
I love robot vacuums like the Eufy X10 Pro Omni that vacuum and mop. Boasting high suction power, it powerfully sucks up hair, dirt, and debris from the cracks on the floor. A rotating mop pad wipes up spills and dry messes, and a docking station lets you automatically empty and refill the vacuum.
Another slightly more expensive option is the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni. The hot water mop thoroughly scrubs your floors and uses 8,000 Pa of suction to keep carpets and hard floors free of dust. The built-in AI makes the machine work fast and accurately.
Cordless wet and dry vacuum cleaner
Spilled milk, wet coffee grounds, oatmeal dropped into a bowl…they’re all part of the mess that happens on a regular basis. But even if something like that happens, I won’t be angry. I just run to the closet and grab my wet/dry vacuum.
The Bissell CrossWave OmniForce in particular is a hero. It’s cordless with both mop and vacuum functions, so it’s no match for cereal thrown on the floor. It is also a disinfectant, eliminating 99.99% of germs from hard floors.
speedy cooking appliances
My husband and I work all day, so how do we get dinner on the table? The answer includes a detailed meal plan and some multifunctional cooking equipment.
multifunctional instant pot
First, let me introduce you to the Instant Pot Duo Plus. This beauty combines 9 utensils into one, saving you time and space in your kitchen. We use it almost every day to cook rice, make yogurt, steam vegetables, and make slow-cooking stews.
Air fryer saves time
Another kitchen gadget we can’t live without is our air fryer, the Ninja FlexBasket Air Fryer. We love the large 7-quart capacity for cooking family-sized meals. You can air fry, air bake, bake, etc. in much less time than with a traditional oven. Complete victory!
AI washing machine
The AI-powered washing machine was a splurge, but it was worth it. It automatically detects fabric type and soiling, so you can adjust the cycle to wash more effectively. Reduced time spent on sorting and pre-processing.
But Samsung’s Bespoke AI Laundry Hub does more than that. Full-size front-load washers and dryers provide high performance with less energy. Even better, there’s no need to add detergent, just add detergent once and it automatically relies on up to 34 loads.
Smart home devices that increase efficiency
Door locks, lights, and cameras can shave hours off your weekly to-do list. Below are some of the smart appliances that I swear by that make me more efficient.
keyless entry smart door lock
Keyless smart door locks have made my day so much easier. With this, you no longer have to remember to bring your physical key with you when you go to the bus stop. Aqara smart door lock U200 works on a variety of platforms and offers a variety of unlocking options, from Apple Home Key to fingerprint recognition.
Plus, you can wash and dry the entire load in less than an hour. This is my dream.
smart led bulb
I will never get over the inability to adjust the lighting temperature and color of the lamp. But most important is the GE CYNC’s voice control. Using this means you don’t have to physically turn on the light and it’s great when your hands are full (which is always the case).
floodlight camera
Meanwhile, your security is a secret thanks to the Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight. As an automatically motion-sensing and activated camera and floodlight, it alerts you to any unusual activity in your driveway. When suspicious activity occurs, notifications are sent to your phone and you can make two-way calls.

We all have busy schedules, but there are definitely ways to take control of the clutter at home and save time for the things you want to do. We’ve outlined the best home appliances for efficiency that will help your home run like a well-oiled machine, at least most of the time. I hope this helps!
