What The Tech: Mothers Day Gadgets Pt 2
April 30, 2024
Midrina Tucker, CHARLOTTE, N.C.-Mother’s Day is less than 2 weeks away so you’ve got time. Don’t wait until the only option is a gift card. Tech gadgets of course make great Mother’s Day gifts. If you made mom happy with a gadget a few years ago it might be time for an upgrade. Tech gadgets that were great a few years ago, can’t compare to newer models. If mom is using a robot vacuum cleaner from 5-10 years ago there are newer and better options. The robovacs are great for daily routine cleanings but they can’t do it all. They won’t clean blinds, curtains, and couches.
An upright battery-powered vacuum like the Roborock Dyad Pro Combo is more versatile and a good companion to the disc-shaped robot-vacs. The Dyad Pro mops and sweeps simultaneously. Add liquid cleaning solution in one compartment, and clean water to another tank. The Dyad Pro vacuums, and scrubs with three rollers, and dries the surface of any standing water. An LED indicator points out where the dirt is and adjusts the cleaning power for tougher jobs. An egg roll off the counter? I found the Dyad Pro removed it all from the floor, mopped, and then dried. The Dyad Pro is self-cleaning. Rolling to clean the brushes, and then drying the rollers. Remove the power unit and add other tools to vacuum the carpet and dust window treatments, another attachment is for upholstered furniture and there’s a crevice tool. Since it’s cordless, you can use it to vacuum the car.
Sous Vide is a trendy way to cook. These devices circulate hot water around the food to reach the precise temperature. It’s been used in steakhouses for decades. Sous Vide precision wands or sticks work great. But an even easier way to sous vide is with an all-in-one unit like the Typhur Sous Vide Station. It has a tank or water vessel. A circulator. A built-in vacuum sealer and a video screen with recipes and videos with step-by-step directions. You can place a steak or chicken in an ice bath and tell it when you’re going to be home. The Typhur station begins heating the water, melts the ice, and cooks the meat to the perfect temperature. All you have to do when you get home is put it on a hot skillet or griddle for a quick sear. You can find these and similar gadgets online. Whether it’s for mom on Mother’s Day, or dad on Father’s Day. You can’t beat these ideas.
