I don’t know about you, but I absolutely hate spending what little free time I have these days on tedious household chores. I’ve been on a mission to find 5 unique gadgets that can free up the most time in your daily life so you can spend more time doing things you actually enjoy. So without further ado, here are the top 5 gadgets for lazy people in 2025.

1. Ninja MC1001 Foodi PossibleCooker PRO 8.5 Quart Multi-Cooker

Slow cookers have always been a staple for folks who want to spend as little time as they can in the kitchen. The Ninja MC1001 Foodi PossibleCooker PRO has somehow managed to revolutionize slow cookers and can really be seen as the quintessential all-in-one kitchen appliance. This beast is a 14-in-one powerhouse that can capably perform the job of a slow cooker, steam oven, food warmer, non-stick pot, sauté pan, cast iron skillet, saucier, steamer, saucepan, stock pot, Dutch oven, roasting pan, bread maker, and multi-functional utensil.

It’s not lacking in cooking functions either: It can slow cook, sear/sauté, steam, keep food warm, Sous Vide, braise, bake, and proof, all functional with its built-in timer. Speaking of the timer, the function will automatically switch over to “Keep warm” after cooking is finished, so no need to fret about overcooking your dinner!

Other notable features include “Triple fusion heat technology,” resulting in up to 30% faster cook times, an oven-safe pot for up to 500°F, and excellent build quality. I’d rank this masterpiece as my #1 home gadget that I’d recommend to anyone right now.

2. Airdeer Automatic Trash Can

This is certainly not a piece of tech I expected to come across in 2025, but I guess I would call it a happy little accident. This isn’t just your typical motion-sensor trash can – It also automatically seals and replaces your trash bags. Now, taking out the trash isn’t a very time-consuming task, but it can be inconvenient, and Airdeer makes that experience a little less painful. The Airdeer automatic trash can is battery-powered, but it holds a respectably long charge, lasting up to 180 days. Some users report they found it excellent for containing unpleasant smells such as baby diapers or cat litter. That in itself might make this gadget a solid investment for some.

I feel like this is a piece of tech that you don’t think you need but will wonder how you ever went without it once you get it. Definitely a hidden gem in the household gadget world.

3. eufy Robot Vacuum Omni C20

We’ve all heard of robot vacuums, but how about one that also mops and self-empties? It’s no surprise this little guy made his way into thousands of homes last month despite the price tag. The included charging station is truly a step above the competition in terms of time savings. It automatically empties dust, dirt, and debris into a compartment on the charging station for up to 60 days before it needs cleaning. The station also automatically cleans and dries the mop. A couple of unique features this robot has are an auto-detangling comb (no cleaning pet hair out of the brush) and pressurized mopping that targets tough stains.

Users praise the eufy Robot Vacuum Omni C20 for its easy setup, quiet operation, strong cleaning power, and reasonable price point. For the price, it definitely stands out, and has all you could really want in a robot cleaner.

4. SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher

Okay, I had to include this one because of how ridiculous it sounds, but it actually turns out to be a surprisingly popular gadget. This gadget, well… does exactly what it says it does: pushes a button. A simple, yet elegant solution to automate non-smart devices. The SwitchBot works universally with any device where a button can be pushed down and can be easily installed with an included adhesive 3M sticker. The bot can be controlled via the dedicated app from which timers can also be set up for pure automation, similar to how you’d set up a recurring alarm on your phone. SwitchBot also works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, IFTTT, and Apple HomeKit, but you’ll need the SwitchBot Hub as well for that functionality.

5. Kasa Smart Plug Mini 15A

Lastly, another great option to smartify your home is the Kasa Smart Plug Mini 15A. This gadget allows full control and automation of power flow to all of your electric devices. Like the SwitchBot, the Kasa Smart Plug has a dedicated app from which you can set automation schedules for each plug or manually turn them on or off via the app. As we would hope, these smart plugs are compatible with Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant. A neat feature Kasa offers is the “Away mode,” which turns your devices on and off at random intervals to make it appear as if you were home; great for when you go on vacation or to otherwise deter burglaries.

Overall, these are a pretty solid value and can even save you some money on utility bills. I’d recommend the Kasa Smart Plug as an introduction to smart home gadgets.
