If you have Siri or Alexa, you can even do voice commands to ask it to play your favorite music.

38. Kohler’s Smart Toilet

Kohler’s “Numi” is a multifunctional toilet that is compatible with Amazon Alexa. This means that you can speak to your toilet and have it flush, lift the seat, prepare the bidet, or play songs from the toilet. (In Japan, it’s popular to have sound effects playing on their toilets to cover up the sounds of going number two.) Kohler CEO David Kohler said, “Voice services and connected devices have become integrated into every facet of the home—with the notable exception of the bathroom, until now.

37. Philips 3-in-1 Air Purifier

Many of you out there may have tried out an air purifier during the pandemic, since they help to cut down on toxins in the air that cause allergies, colds, and viruses. The Philips 3-in-1 Air Purifier is different from all the rest because it works as a fan, purifier, and even a heater all in one. The reason why it’s so important to have both a heat and a cooling function is because of heat inversion. In the cooler months, a layer of warm air covers cooler air. All pollutants that would normally get blown away become trapped. So by changing the fan to the heating function, you can still clean the air in all kinds of weather.

36. LG OLED Rollable TV

Have you ever dreamed of having a rollable TV? Probably not, but people didn’t want folding smartphones either, until they could have it. This LG OLED just might be the beginning of a new fad with televisions. When the TV is off, it just looks like a rectangular cabinet that could be mistaken as a speaker. But when it’s on, the TV rolls out to its full 65 inches. This is perfect for anyone who’s trying to follow the Feng Shui rules of minimizing screens whenever possible. The only downside to this TV is that it costs $100,000.

Like most other brands, it has both “essential” and “advanced” filters to trap dirt particles from the water. But then it also uses a UV light filter called “PureVis” to clean your water. The top of the water pitcher changes colors to let you know when it’s time to swap out your filters or change the battery on the UV light.
