There are days when you just drag yourself, the dog the carpet, the child the crumbs, and the cat the nervous system. If you don't want to fight with the traces left by your pets every night or wade through a sea of ​​crumbs every morning, it's time to have someone clean for you. Let's say a robot vacuum cleaner that doesn't get caught on the table leg, doesn't whine when it sees a carpet, and doesn't growl back if you don't thank it for its work.

The woman who scraped the jam off you when you were a child because you couldn't even eat properly is still standing over the sink like some kind of kitchen warrior, trying to tidy up. What if this year you didn't just shove a flower under her nose, but instead offered her a helping hand that would actually free her from the necessary chores for half an hour a day? The BlitzHome BH-CDW1 doesn't come in a colorful and fragrant bubble, but you'll see the joy in your mother's eyes after the first use.

If you can't listen to a playlist without your battery dying, it's time to throw the crap out. The UGREEN HiTune Max5c doesn't ask, it doesn't whine - it just rocks the bass, blocks out the noise, and goes with you until the weekend without you having to find a charger. This isn't a "good for what it is" type of thing, it's a "why didn't I start with this?" type of thing.

Someone is ringing the doorbell. Mother-in-law? Landlord? It doesn't matter if your apartment looks like it was redecorated by a storm and three dogs, all with different plans. The Roidmi Eve Rook is just the thing for that: it maps the terrain, vacuums itself, and ruthlessly picks up the dirt you've been avoiding for a week. Just launch it from the app and pretend you've always lived this tidy.

At home, on the train, in a café, or wherever you're browsing disguised as productivity - a decent second display always comes in handy. The MUCAI N140TUK-3240 doesn't ask what you're doing, it just displays the image in front of you at 3240×2160 pixels, making your Trello look like you're preparing for world domination. It's small, light, portable, but it doesn't play around: it works with you when you work too.

Anyone who vlogs knows exactly: good light is not enough if the video sways like a drunk flamingo. The FeiyuTech VB4SE stabilizer gives you predictable movement, even if your content is chaotic. Face tracking, extendable arm, long battery life – but the point is that your footage finally looks like you knew what you were doing. A gimbal that is not intrusive, but without it the picture is noticeably bad. Plus, you can get it much, much cheaper on Aliexpress than at home – but more on that later!

Anyone who drives a day in a big city feels at least entitled to keep a dash cam in their car for the rest of their life. The Kawa D5 dash cam doesn't think rationally, doesn't judge, it just turns on, records, and notes who was the idiot. If it was you, at least you learn from it. If it was someone else, then there's something to replay before the insurance company starts the "but our customer never makes mistakes" story.

There are few devices that can truly replace a human task – but the Tineco Floor One S5 Combo takes itself seriously. It doesn’t just mop, it analyzes dirt in real time, dispenses water, regulates suction power, and packs it all into a 3,8-kilogram body that even a child can easily push away. Anyone who says it’s “just a vacuum cleaner” either hasn’t seen one before or still swears by a bucket mop.

It's not a lifesaver, but it doesn't want to be. This little round box can play your favorite music for 15 hours, and it can survive being splashed with water. IPX5, Bluetooth 5.3, 15 watts – you can throw data around, but the point is: it won't stay silent. If the peace around you makes you uncomfortable and you want bass more than crickets and bugs, then this is the device for you.

If you care about the placement of instruments, not the volume, and you prefer to listen to music rather than decorate it, then the HIFIMAN HE-R9 is for you. The closed design, the detailed presentation and the clear sound without physical presence serve one purpose: to make you forget that you are wearing headphones. It is not ostentatious, it is not a fashion accessory - it is a tool based on musical knowledge. And it is still much cheaper to order than to buy from home.
