This is the Posher Cooking Robot. And apparently if I select a meal, so baneer de masala, I can customize it to my taste preferences. So very spicy. If I hit start cooking, this is going to do everything for me. Wow. It’s flinging in the main ingredients as and when they’re needed. The pan here is going to cook the food. And this top section will even drizzle in the water and oil and sprinkle in the spices and salt at the perfect times using a camera that is watching the meal come together and using AI to understand what it’s looking at. So, let’s come back later to find out if I’m ever going to need to cook anything again.

The Quest for Laziness

I have just spent $8,000 buying the laziest tech on the internet to find out just how much effort is possible to save ourselves. Gadgets that cook for you, but also gadgets that clean for you, iron your clothes for you, change your bins for you, make your bed for you, and even ones that blow for you.

Neco Fufu: The Robotic Food Cooler

I’m talking about the Neco Fufu, a robotic cat that blows on your food and drinks to cool them down. So, tea goes into these two glasses. And now both of these are at 72.2° C right now. You get a fufu. That’s actually quite good design. The cat organically fastens itself around the rim of your cup. So, let’s see how much of a difference it makes. So, it’s trying to mimic the way that a human blows on their food by using a small fan on the inside that comes on and off at random intervals.

Got to say, the thing is adorable, but I’m still astounded that it has raised over $100,000 on Kickstarter. that there are thousands of people who actually want to pay for a whole separate gadget that they have to store somewhere to make sure they charge after every 60 minutes of use or to perform a role that is very rarely needed and even when it is could also be achieved by just waiting for another 90 seconds. Okay, it’s been 5 minutes and there is less than a 4° difference between the two. So on the efforts saved scale, fufu blows 10%.

The Couch Console

If that, then how about spending $100 on the couch console to combat the tiresome hassle of leaning forward? So, this is designed to keep all the stuff that you might want to have with you while you’re on the couch organized, but with one extra special feature, a selfbalancing gimbal cup holder. So, it’s using some sort of metal counterwe at the bottom to keep your drink upright even if you rotate the tray. To up the stakes here, I should probably open the drinks. Sparkling water. Oh, yeah. That works great. Normal size drinks can. Yeah, it just about fits. But I don’t love the push you have to do every time you want to put it back. Oh, I have a tea from earlier. Okay, that’s too girthy.

But that’s not the only thing it does. It is also modular. So, for example, this is a phone holder and a tray for your remotes, which you can also add an anti-slip mat to. To be fair, does actually keep your remote just as planted as your drink. Then, flip the thing over. It’s an armrest. Or let’s say I don’t fully finish my snacks one evening. And this spacer over here becomes your lid. Kind of. It’s not very well fitting to be honest.

The strangest thing though has to be this USBC port, which means if you’ve got a power bank, you can put it into this compartment and use another USBC cable to then power your phone via the console. But that just feels like such a clunky way to manage the battery of your phone that still doesn’t even save you having to have a cable trailing around. So, would I keep this on my couch? No, definitely not. It just feels so overengineered. Like I’d way rather just have a small drinks table like this cuz you can keep anything on there with no restriction. I way rather eat crisps right from the packet as opposed to measuring out a small portion into this tray and then washing the tray every time I want to change crisps. So very little effort saved all things considered.

Cooking Robot Update

Let’s quickly check how our baneer is doing. Oh wow, this is so cool. So the robot is taking a snapshot of the pan every 40 or so seconds. I can remotely check from my phone. It’s actually become a curry already. Early lunch is fine with me.

The Shirt Butler

Maybe you can relate to this. I mean, just as equally, maybe not. But for me, ironing has become such a time-consuming task that I even specifically tried to buy clothes just because they require less. But that is where the shirt butler is apparently about to change things. A reimagining of the ironing concept that is falling apart as we speak. Oh goodness, not one of my smoother unboxings. But here, instead of putting the iron onto your clothes, you put your clothes onto the iron, which is actually one of two different balloons.

Grillbot 3.0: BBQ Cleanup

So, I have just made some hot dogs for lunch. Smells absolutely divine. But first, and easily the worst part of any barbecue is the cleanup. Dealing with this is one of the few tasks that I would consider worse than ironing. And so, I am seriously interested in what the lazy gods have blessed us with this time, the Grillbot 3.0. A robot with wheels made out of brushes.

So, it should be as simple as placing this on the grill, pressing that to turn it on. You set the amount of time that you want it to clean for. So, let’s do the full 30 minutes. Oh my god, that was fast. It doesn’t look like it’s using any cameras or external sensors, and I’m pretty sure if you don’t close the lid on most barbecues, it will just brush its way right off the edges, but it will apparently notify me when it’s done. The website doesn’t actually say how, which is slightly alarming, but I guess we’ll find out.

Air Dear: The Automated Trash Can

That was one satisfying sausage. And now we’ve had it, why not throw the trash into the laziest person trash can in the world from the company who calls themselves Air Dear for some reason. Okay, so it’s got pretty responsive automatic lid opening, which is not a unique feature, but I have it on my bin and I use it all the time.

Okay, let’s try the flagship feature of this thing. So, hold this button down. And so this is now a completely top to bottom sealed trash bag. It’s sealed on that end and it’s sealed on that end. So I never have to even look at my trash. You can actually smell the smoke from the heat sealing that it’s using on this bag. Oh, and then now it should be replacing this bag with a brand new bag ready to use. That’s insane.

So, it’s actually using fans at the base of the trash can to pull the new bag into position so that it’s completely filling the container. This does kind of have it all. It’s battery powered, so you can put it anywhere. The battery itself lasts for up to 180 days on a charge. The bin refills here are 20 bins in one bag, so that’s going to last you just as long, if not longer, than the battery. You know what? Screw it. 90% effort saved. Where have you been all my life?

Sol Glasses: Wearable E-Reader

You know, there was a day when sitting down and reading a book was considered a lazy day. Then we got e-readers, which can do our page turning for us and can store an entire libraries worth of content in your handbag. And now we don’t even have to hold anything because the sole glasses are supposedly the world’s first wearable e-reader. Let’s try it.

Oh wow, the image feels massive. This is the cinema style reading experience. And the very interesting thing about this compared to well actually any other headset I’ve ever worn is that these are e- in displays which are just lit from the sides with these soft warm white LEDs. And it’s a little bit strange because in theory that should make it really low eye strain. I think it’s the fact that those displays are actually sitting like 2 cm from your eyeballs that isn’t achieving that goal. My eyes would be more at rest if I was holding an e-reader say here.

So, can you feasibly use this while lying in bed right before you sleep? I mean, this feels like what it was designed for. You just hold this very strangely shaped remote in your hand and you use that to control everything. Got to say, not my favorite remote. It’s like the fact that you can’t see it means that you have to feel your way around it. So, the buttons have to be very clearly separated and they’re not. So, it’s very easy to press the wrong thing. And also like a surprising amount of effort to press.

But actually, the bigger thing is just resolution. Like each display in front of your eyes is 256 pixels x 256, which sounds like a lot for how small the screens are, but the total resolution is then far far lower than like a high-end Kindle. And you can kind of see it on the E and the Y’s. The letters are not super well defined, and that’s also limiting how many words you can fit on the page at once. So, you’re actually going to have to be turning pages like three times as often with this.

Okay, but this is where the soul glasses truly separate themselves from any other e-reader. You can ask them questions about anything you’re reading and it’ll use AI to give you the answer. So, it pulls open a whole load of different pre-made questions and then you select one of them, I guess. Okay. Then you have to select which pages of the book you’re referring to. Oh god, this is like the clunkiest form of AI that probably exists in 2025. There is no way that people are using these features on a regular basis.

The only other thing is this autopilot mode. Ooh, that is cool. So, it’s shading out line by line to make sure that I’m only paying attention to the sentence that needs to be. So, it’s training me to read faster by making the old sentences that are done disappear. Oh, and then it also turns the pages for you. That is kind of nice. It means I don’t have to deal with this freaking remote. I got to say, a facemounted e-reader with a tool assisted speedrun mode was not high on my bingo card for this year, but I don’t think overall that makes much sense at all for most people.

The Final Meal: Cooking Robot Verdict

Apparently, our paneer is done. Oh my god, that’s actually bonkers to think that the last time I saw this, it was just a couple of ingredients in containers. And now it actually looks exactly like the picture. I had a certain expectation in my mind of what would happen when I left a robot completely unattended to cook my meal for me. And this is not that.

Oh wow, that is restaurant quality paneer. The paneer feels like it’s cooked perfectly. It’s just the right level of soft considering this is max spiciness. is actually quite mild, but just enough that it makes your mouth water. And the sauce has like a little bit too much cream for an average home-cooked meal, but makes it taste damn good. Are you happy with your puna masala? Yeah. Five stars for the meal itself.

But as impressive as that all is, would I actually buy one of these machines? Probably not. It’s very expensive. Plus, there is an extra subscription cost if you want more than the basic 50 recipes. And in the future, that subscription will also let you import ones from the internet, which is, I mean, very cool that it can do that. But then why would that feature need to be paywalled?

But I think the main thing here is the thing that really takes up the majority of your time when you’re cooking is the buying of all the ingredients, the prepping and the chopping of all of them, and then the washing up afterwards. And this doesn’t really save on any of those. It’s actually kind of doing the one somewhat fun part of cooking, but leaving all the boring jobs to you. What I’m hoping is that they can find a way to offer a higher tier of subscription, but that also includes all of the pre-measured out portions of ingredients. drop into these containers and just let the robot handle your entire cooking for the week. The robot is not for me, but it does feel like the smartest iteration of robot does some cooking related task for human that I’ve ever seen.

Ninja Swirl: The Ice Cream Machine

Ah, so that’s lunch number two down. Now we just need some dessert. And providing that is the Ninja Swirl, the company’s upgraded ice cream machine that can apparently turn anything into soft serve. Oh, it’s a little more topheavy than I was expecting.

So, the main event here is the creamerizer, which sounds about one step away from being a Dr. Doofen Schmmer’s invention, but it’s essentially just these rotating paddles that continuously airate your frozen mixture, which is how it’s apparently going to turn this block of ice looking thing into smooth, creamy soft serve. So, one thing that I will say about this, I constantly see these machines being shown in Tik Toks like my twoingredient ice cream that takes 30 seconds to make, but it’s not that simple. You first got to blend your ingredients. I’ve gone for literally just banana and milk for mine. Then you got to freeze it all. And you have to do this the night before, which is I guess why mine’s gone a little bit browner than I’d like for a banana ice cream. I guess the banana doesn’t freeze instantly, so it’s going to oxidize.

And then you got to creamerize that frozen mixture. Does sound nice though. Clicking it all into place. And then this in itself is also a multi-step process that takes about 4 minutes. Now you take out the container. You attach the other dispensing lid. You mount it onto this entirely separate part of the machine. Nozzle goes to open and then finally ice cream. So it’s essentially using a press to force the ice cream out the nozzle.

Look at that though. What? I can’t quite believe that it’s achieved this level of texture with the two ingredients that I put into it. Yeah, that’s kind of insane. That’s just banana and milk, but it’s smooth. It’s creamy. It’s not very icy, which I expected it to be. This one really tears me up cuz that outcome is absolutely unparalleled. The effort required to achieve that outcome is so high that I can’t see myself using it on a regular basis. That would have to be for at least four people for it to be worth all of this washing up and pre-prep. So, I kind of rate this product. Plus, it can do sorbets, it can do milkshakes, and it can do mixins. So you could have nuts sprinkled in that it specifically mixes and not pulverizes, but it’s not a lazy product. It’s actually kind of the opposite. So much work has to go into it.

EVAX W2 Omni: The Window Cleaner

Ah, what if you get ice cream on your window? So, let’s create two zones here. So, the top area I’m going to cover in smudges. Think of this like uh level one. Okay, I promise I put butter on my hands before I did this, just so you don’t think I’m some sort of grease monster. And then the bottom is level two for when you’re in too deep. And it’s all to find out if the $600 EVAX W2 Omni can save us.

This is meant to be the robot for cleaning your windows for you. And I’ve got to say it is looking promising. They really have thought of a clever way of keeping everything together. So like for example, this is the robot sits inside this suitcase. And when you want to use it, just hold it against a window and it suctions itself to it with apparently eight different hardware based full protection measures. Then that’s connected to the suitcase via a cable that can coil itself inside to keep it tidy and untangled. Then there’s also a mains plug that you can keep permanently inside of here and a battery for 110 minutes of cleaning when you’re away from a power source.

Oh, look. So you can see the first thing it does is goes right into the top corner so that it can methodically work its way down. Oh. Oh, wait. That’s the grill. The alarm’s going off. So, that’s how it notifies you. Elegant. But also notice the camera I’m using, the Insta3 X5, our sponsor, is the only reason that I can be standing here recording me talking about this product while making sure that I miss absolutely nothing when it comes to the window cleaner over there, while keeping both of my hands completely free, so that I can actually pick the thing up, all while eliminating its own invisible selfie stick from the shot, so the thing just looks like it’s floating.

As for how well this is cleaned, by the way, I would say pretty well. It’s like the entire top layer has been scrubbed very thoroughly, but it hasn’t done a very good job when it comes to the sides. It kind of feels like I hired someone from Fiverr to do the cleaning. This is the result I would expect. It’s definitely saved me some time, and it’s great that you can just pop these brushes straight into the dishwasher, but there is still work to be done here before you can leave this.

Now, we’re back on this side. Just as the window cleaner is approaching level two, this camera truly does allow me to be the laziest version of myself. And even if the thing gets taken out while you’re trying a particularly risky shot, it doesn’t matter. You can just swap the lenses out yourself in about 60 seconds without needing to send it in for repair. So link below to get yours with the first 30 orders. Also getting an extra 1 TB of cloud storage for free, an extra 5% discount, and a free dual lens replacement kit.

Oh my god. What? That’s like the cleanest this window has ever been. That I was not expecting. So level one, it has absolutely flown past. Level two, it’s doing a lot more smearing. So it’s got a three nozzle wide angle atomization spray that’s meant to dissolve dirt on your window before it mops it over. It’s also really cool how it gets right into the edges and the corners. I guess that’s the benefit of them making it a square. So I would genuinely say to my surprise, 80% effort saved. It’s absolutely impeccable when it comes to the lighter grease and it’s just the heavier stuff that it’s going to need a bit of help with. But then, how often do you fall into your window with ice cream?

The Smart Duvet

The thing that’s surprising me most about this video is someone has tried to come up with a solution for every single chore. But this has to be the most overengineered one to exist. This is the $1,439 smart duvet that makes your bed for you. Why does the control box look like an Xbox connect?

So you set this box up at the base of your bed and this system serves two purposes. One is a very similar ability to the eight sleep beds which can heat and cool each side individually. But instead of pumping temperature controlled water around the bed, this pumps air. So I have set this side for example to its highest possible temperature. I mean it’s fine. It feels a little on the warm side. And this is the cold side. Okay. You can feel the difference, but definitely far less of a temperature range than eight. This is about a 7° C max difference between the two sides. Eight sleep can do 30. They do also say that just the action of sending air into your bed oxygenates it, which reduces the irritation on your skin caused by sweat because the humidity is lower.

And then to top the whole thing off, the unit even has ambient lighting, which is like proper 16 million colors, the whole shebang, and even aroma therapy. So, you take this filter out of the back of the unit and then by soaking this foam in the oil of your choice, it’ll effectively use the fans it already has on the inside to blow through it and spread that scent. It’s very much giving me jack of all trades vibes, but this is what we’re really here for. Bed making start. I don’t really know what to expect here. Oh, it’s inflating.

This is actually really clever how it works. They’ve got a thin inflatable sheet that goes across the entire duvet. So, by pumping air into that inflatable sheet, it effectively stretches the rest of the duvet so it has to conform to its full shape, which is flat. Okay, this is probably the single coolest automation we’ve seen so far. Oh my god. No, that is actually hotel quality finish. And then once it’s reached this finished state, it will just take the air out again so it settles. It’s a very left field solution to the problem, but my god is that clever. So to be very clear, this is not an eight sleep killer. The temperature control is not as good. The product itself doesn’t feel as high quality. But the one thing that it is designed to do differently, it does so well that I would still give it a 50% rating.

The Chairless Chair 2.0

But there is one final pillar of laziness that we haven’t yet covered. It’s like the single most obvious one. I have been standing for like 50% of this video. Unacceptable. But no more because this is the chairless chair 2.0. Yes. over $2,500 to be able to sit on command. It’s actually not as heavy as it looks. The whole thing is like 3 kg. So, strap myself in at the waist, right thigh, left thigh. But this is the cool bit. Now, the whole thing snaps into my shoes. And it really looks like I should be able to kick a brick wall down with this. But what I can really do? Yes, please. Thank you.

So, it’s not flawless. You kind of have to treat it with a little bit of care. You kind of want to make sure both legs are fully extended before you put your weight on the thing. But if you do that, it’s actually still not very comfortable. I’m like 70% resting, but 30% tensing my core as hard as I can so I don’t tip over backwards again. And yeah, it’s kind of cool how spontaneous you can be with the thing. Like now I’m walking, I can go this way. Now I can decide to sit again. I just can’t wrap my head around why it costs as much as it does. Considering what it actually is when you break it down as a general concept though. Yeah, I could get used to this life. Subscribe so that I can carry on sitting here.

Conclusion

And now for the Hall of Fame winner. Oh, do you know what? It’s not going to fit on the shelves. And we actually do need a bin anyway. Okay, tell you what. Can actually do one better than Hall of Fame. You can become useful. Well played, Ed dear.
