iRobot Looj – The Gutter Cleaning Robot
We wrote about the iRobot Looj back in September, at the time I thought it was pretty cool but a bit too much on the niche side to be be a real hit. However here at CES I’ve seen one in action and must admit after watching it and speaking to the sales guy (taken with a big pinch of salt) it could actually be worth buying.
To use the Looj you simply place it at one end of your guttering and set it off sweeping, it will then traverse the length of your guttering sweeping the leafs onto the floor below. Check out the video of it in action:
With the Looj you still need to climb the ladder to place it in the guttering but eliminates the need to continually move the ladder to clear the full length. I wonder if next year iRobot will be introducing a patio sweeper to clear the leaves it’s thrown down.
Our favorite portable ice maker is the Sentern Portable Countertop Clear. The quality of ice cubes this machine produces is above all the others we’ve looked at. Its superior insulation allows you to store ice in it for an extended period of time.
After careful evaluation or top choice is the ”[amazon. The five blade assemblies included in the initial purchase are doing an incredible job and will be more than enough for home-use.
Our favorite vegetable chopper is the Fullstar Mandoline Slicer. It offers a vegetable cutter, mandoline slicer, and spiralizer all in one package. On top of that you’ll get a large collection bin and it’s made from BPA-free plastic.
Our favorite mesh Wi-Fi system is the TP LINK Deco M5. It allows you to connect up to 100 devices and covers 5,500 square feet, which would even be enough for an office.
