After a hard day in the office, coming home to endless housework is a real dampener. We look at some household gadgets and appliances that can help you save some time around the flat.
Roidmi F8 Storm vacuum cleaner
The Roidmi F8 Storm is a cordless vacuum cleaner that is both sleek and affordable. The machine weighs in at a relatively light 1.5kg and includes a variety of cleaning adaptors and brush heads for use with hard floors, mattresses, or hard-to-reach corners.
The four-layer filtration system traps particles as small as PM0.3 (particles with a diameter 300 times smaller than a single human hair), ensuring dust and allergens don’t end up recirculating around the house. High-performance lithium battery cells from LG are used to power the vacuum cleaner (and give you peace of mind).
In line with other devices from the brand associated with Xiaomi, the F8 Storm connects to your phone using the Roidmi Intelligent Life app via Bluetooth. The app keeps track of statistics such as the cumulative cleaning time of the vacuum cleaner, and the remaining lifespan of the HEPA filter.
