Laundry is not a sexy subject. The weekly chore of throwing your dirty clothes in the machine, pouring in the liquid and then hanging it all up again is always going to be dull and mundane. Or is it? Whirlpool is trying to make the whole experience more entertaining/ intuitive. And this includes a colour LCD screen and a USB port. It gets stranger...
The Whirlpool washing machine features a display screen with touch enabled laundry apps. Yes, really. These allow you to make sure you always wash your clothes at the correct temperature, so no more shrunken silks or ruined jeans for you. The animated graphic will help younger user do their own laundry as well, as kids will no longer be able to say they don’t understand the setup. There are 33 special cycles which cater to everything from stuffed toys to bath mats, shower curtains and swimwear-all the usual, and a couple extra just for fun.
For the particularly useless, the LCD screen will even give you tips and tricks on how to deal with stubborn stains. The price point may be high, buy you’re actually going to be pretty energy efficient using this, as the washer can use as little as 11.5 gallons a load- well below the minimum requirements

The Roomba has had a lot of competition in recent years, and we’ve just seen another contender for the crown of best robotic vacuum cleaner. The MamiRobot is a Korean brand that cleans your house using wireless charging technology, and returns itself to the docking station when its task is complete.
The Mamirobot is fitted with anti fall sensors and light sensors to enable it to avoid stairs and the bumper sensors on the side make sure that it can avoid big obstructions. The twin charging station is interestingly designed, with the larger Mamirobot stationed at the base, and the handheld Zaaloo jutting out the back. The Zaaloo is a wireless handheld vacuum which is much smaller- great for getting into smaller areas, and meaning you can reach places that the larger Mamirobot can’t access. It can even be used on your computer to get tod of dust- a nice touch.
