Gardening takes patience, but gadgets can make the process easier for those who struggle with plant care. Utilizing technology can lead to better outcomes.

In an aquatic world dominated by robotic pool cleaners that mostly look identical, a company called iGarden has been that breath of fresh air you take after reaching the water's surface. The company's pool cleaners have always featured designs that feel inspired more by high-end automobiles than underwater janitors, and with the new M1 series, its gear is sportier than ever.

It feels like an episode of The Jetsons come to life, but the truth is that the AI boom has officially entered the physical world. Most of us interact with artificial intelligence through screens- Gemini drafts our emails, ChatGPT summarizes our docs-but behind the scenes, engineers are racing to give AI hands and feet. Robots already pack boxes in warehouses and make guacamole in fast-food kitchens. Soon, they will be washing dishes, taking care of pets, and performing your manicure.

A reliable handheld vac is still a good option for cleaning everything from car seats to stairs, which is why the current $65 discount on Fanttik's Fold V10 Apex is worth pointing out. Normally $149.99, it's now on sale at Amazon for $85.49, which matches the vac's best price to date.

I've spent a lot of money on multitools over the years. That's because I like the idea of a single tool that serves many functions, and partly because no single tool is ideal. Furthermore, there's a small bit of me that just loves new, shiny things. But ultimately, multitools all fall short in one way or another. Also: This $7 cable is secretly the most useful thing in my tech bag Too bulky.

Among the shampoo, soap, and conditioner bottles in my shower, I also keep two cleaning tools: a dish wand and squeegee. They both have become a crucial part of my cleaning routine, and help me keep my shower clean on a regular basis. For anyone who has a glass shower door, a squeegee is a must-have tool to keep the glass free of streaks - and this one by OXO is my absolute favorite. Here's why.

I love a good vacuum, and since I live in a household with a no-shoes policy, I'm extra invested in making sure my bare (or socked) feet don't feel dirty all the time. I've relied on a corded vacuum for years, but in my small NYC apartment, it sometimes feels too bulky to properly move around. Plus, it's so heavy that vacuuming can feel like an entire workout, especially when I'm cleaning up pet hair off the sofa.

Weighing only 26.5 ounces, it's the lightest steam iron Panasonic has ever made. It's also cordless, comes with a handy carrying case, and heats up in 50 seconds on the accompanying power base (that plugs into a standard electrical outlet). The power base features a built-in cord compartment to make setup and storage easy. So already it solves some of my biggest gripes with traditional irons.

These unassuming pliers replaced my multitool for a fraction of the cost But sometimes there's a tool that completely changes the way you work, and you wonder why it took you so long to get one. This is how I feel about my Stanley Maxsteel MultiAngle Base Vise . It's an invaluable tool that goes a long way for me in the workshop.

Most utility knives live in junk drawers until you need to open a box. You dig out something with a flimsy plastic slider, a rattling blade, and a body that feels like it costs exactly one dollar. They are treated as disposable, even though you use them constantly for packages, tape, and workshop tasks. There is room for a small knife that feels as considered as the rest of your desk or carry.
