Appliances and gadgets are transitioning into the Internet of Things. You’ll be pleasantly surprised and amazed at how these connected devices will improve your experience, from personal wellness and how to solve a Rubik’s Cube, to sharing those precious memories captured on your phone. Cool Smarts

Tech Toy: GoCube Smart Rubik’s Cube

If solving the Rubik’s Cube has been an elusive dream, here at last is the solution! The GoCube is the world’s first connected Cube, so you can track your moves in real time via the app on your phone or tablet. Learning to solve the Cube in an hour is just the start. Level up thanks to stats that will improve your times and moves. We like: The app opens up tons of fun including mini-games, missions and live competitions.

Appliances: Electric Toothbrush: Oral-B Smart 5 5000 The Oral-B Smart 5 removes up to 100 per cent more plaque than a manual toothbrush, and that’s just for starters. It features five brushing modes – Daily Clean, Sensitivity, Whitening, Gum Care and Deep Clean – and a Pressure Sensor with red LED indicator alerts you if too much force is used during brushing. We like: A timer that works with the downloadable Oral-B app ensures you spend the recommended time on each section of your chompers – upper left and right, plus lower left and right. Especially handy for younger members of the family, there are even challenge badges to earn in-app.

Robot Vacuums:

Eufy RoboVac 35c Wi-Fi Robotic Vacuum The RoboVac 35c has built-in Wi-Fi and an app for scheduling your clean or turning it on remotely, even when you’re away. If you’re home, you won’t notice this discrete unit that's 75 per cent quieter than traditional vacuums. It can clean hard floors to medium-pile carpets, and the generous 0.6L dustbox eliminates the need to empty after every clean.

Ecovacs Deebot U2 Floor Cleaning Robot If you want a robot vacuum that mops as well, consider the Deebot U2. It features much of the functionality of the RoboVac 35C, and 1600Pa suction, which is slightly higher. The 0.4L dustbin and 0.3L water reservoir can clean up to 200 sqm. We like: You can link both robot vacuums to Google Home or Amazon Alexa, so all you have to do is give the command and kick back.
