Let’s be honest, our everyday life is filled with technology. All your friends have these cool tech gadgets that clean their home, help organize their stuff, and make life easier. So, without further ado, here are 5 tech essentials you need to start the year strong.

1. This Roomba that Connects to your Wi-Fi and Cleans EVERYTHING

iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum-Wi-Fi Connectivity, Good for Pet Hair, Carpets, Hard Floors, Self-Charging

Most people I know don’t like vacuuming. It takes up a lot of time and effort and your house never seems to stay clean. So, why not just get this vacuum for the same price as a quality, handheld vacuum that just does all the work for you. Imagine, if you’re a pet owner, all that pet hair gone without any effort, just by commanding a robot vacuum to do it. Sounds like something straight out of dreams. Or if you have a toddler that makes so many messes that can get tiring to clean, just tell your robot to.

Here’s a review from S.Trasny on Amazon:

“We have had different brands of robot vacuums. Three that I recall were cheaper than iRobot’s brand and weren’t long lived. Two were Roombas. The most recent one gained is going on five and going strong (with maintenance: battery replaced and scheduled filter and brush replacements). Now, we have a new model of iRobot, this Roomba 692. I like it as well as our other one and am appreciating the Wi-Fi component…”

2. Apple Air Tags

Apple AirTag

Lately, everybody has lots of technology. The world has changed a lot. A phone has become a need and other technological devices like Airpods, headphones, computers, mice, and so much more have become an almost necessary thing in your life rather than a luxury. Technology, like most people I know, is a part of my life. So, we need some way to keep track of these expensive technologies especially as there’s a large probability of them being stolen. That’s where Apple Air Tags come in. You can use them to track anything, your tech, your pet, literally anything they can stick on. I’ve seen people put them on cars!

Here’s a review from Jason on Amazon where he talked about the different ways he used Apple Airtags and more:

“Easy to setup, just works extremely well and does what it is supposed to.

We got these because we lost a set of car keys (key fob, dealer says $800 to replace which sounds like a rip off), and I wish I had spent the money on this before to put on the keyring.

We put this on our kid’s backpack, our last set of car keys, hidden in our car, etc…”

“I got this for my partner who is always carrying separately a phone, e-book reader for bookings and one for writing on similar to the Remarkable but different brand. He could fit all of his gadgets into this and is easier to carry with the handle. It keeps everything zipped away and within reach but not so for the toddler hands anymore.

Really pleased with it and he is too.”

4. This Super Cute AND Trendy Keyboard

“I am in love this it! I have been wanting a typewriter for a very long time but they are really out of my price range. So when I found this, I was very happy. I didnt know what to expect but it is so amazing. Its just perfect! The color, the feel, just amazing.
Edit: another really cool thing is that you only need to plug in the mouse USB to control both the keyboard and the mouse. Connect one and use both. Love it! So convenient!”

5. Finally, a Good Monitor

A monitor is super important nowadays for a tech setup. Work and other daily things are all transitioning to online so it’s important to have another screen to keep organized. That’s why it’s important to get a good monitor that’s not too expensive and is quality. Here is one monitor I’ve used that is great quality

LG 27GL83A-B 27 Inch Ultragear QHD IPS 1ms NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible Gaming Monitor, Black

This amazing monitor is high quality and a great price for what it offers. I’ve had it with me and used it consistently over a year so far and it has been amazing. It’s helped me through so many meetings, homework’s, and work in general. It’s so easy to adjust different things like the lighting and is very customizable in that aspect. The purchase of this monitor for me was definitely worth it.
