12 Gadgets you’ll Want in Your First Apartment
Getting your first Apartment is a huge deal. Having a place you can call your own is very difficult to do especially with everything being so expensive these days. If you are able to save up enough to move into your own place, there are some things you are going to need.
Every home needs to be properly furnished. After paying your deposit and first month’s rent, there isn’t much left over for your homely necessities. Your new space will probably be filled with a very weathered futon and a bean bag chair that has followed you into adulthood. Everything from plate to curtains is completely mismatched, as they are hand-me-downs from the family. Just because you can’t afford the luxury penthouse and gold cutlery set does not mean that you have to skimp on the Tech side of things.
Here are 12 Must have Gadgets
Wireless Charging
Don’t you just hate the messy look of cords and extensions? Well these lamps, that range from floor to desk lamps, are able to charge your phone by simply placing your mobile device on the censor. The wireless charger supports the Qi wireless charging standard.
It’s a Lock
Normally when you get locked out of your apartment, the only idea’s running through your mind is “which window should I break”. What if I told you that your phone can make life easier? I don’t mean that you should use your phone to call a locksmith which can be very expensive. With the Kwikset Kevo or Goji Smart Lock, you iPhone can actually unlock your door – if your landlord gives the OK.
Be Chill
The Aros air conditioner will make sure your bills are as low as the temperature in your apartment. This smart air conditioner uses your, preferences, budget, and location to keep your place cool only when you need it. Tado Cooling is taking pre-orders for its intelligent A/C controller, which turns any A/C into a smart device.
Clean Sweep
There is nothing better than to check a chore off your list, it is even better when you don’t have to do it yourself. The iRobot Braava vacuums and mops with no sweater off your brow.
Bank On It
Even if you are getting a regular pay check, it’s always a smart idea to save whatever change you can. The Quirky Porkfolio lets you stash you cash and it keeps track of it too, with an app that shows how much you’ve saved.
Where There’s Smoke
Some of your high school and college habits might still be around, though hopefully there is no photographic evidence, but you apartment neighbours might be less forgiving of the waft than your dorm friends were. The Ploom Pax lets you puff peacefully, and there's always e-cigarettes.
Express Espresso
Those muddy and bottomless cups of coffee that got you through finals are no way to start the day. But neither is dishing out money to Starbucks. Brew your own true espresso at the push of a button at home with the Nespresso Veruoline.
Look Sharp
Once you’ve moved in, you will feel like there is something missing, a big hole in your life. That hole just so happens to be a TV. This 48 inch Sharp will fill up your living room and your spare time.
Everything’s Zen
College was stressful, no doubt. But the working world can leave you worn out, too. The Buddha Machine soothes your soul with a hypnotic loop of ambient music.
Lights Out
You never know when the power might go out, and with loadshedding happening almost every day, you need to be prepared. The Panasonic Rain-proof LED Lantern Light uses just three AA batteries and gives enough power to last 70 hours.
