User-friendly cleaning
partner
Keeping your household
clean is a daunting task that
you most likely do not look
forward to after a long day at
work. But no worries, modern
technology will take care of it
(well, at least parts of it). This
vacuum will sweep your floors
clean, learn how to reach the
most challenging corners, stay
out of places it’s not supposed
to go, and can be controlled
via – you guessed it – a smart-
phone app. Neat!
WACACO NANOPRESSO
For true coffee aficionados
If you’re like many of us and need a
regular caffeine fix throughout the
day, then you might need this ma-
chine. Fill it up with boiling water and
ground coffee or a capsule, and when
the time comes, just use the pump
to squeeze out a fresh cup of hot
espresso. Trust us, it’ll save your day!

of our few hours of shut-eye,
Philips has collaborated
with doctors and researchers
to develop a headband that
monitors your sleep activ-
ity, improves its quality, and
records sleep patterns via
smartphone app.
