Remember when you thought robots would be doing all your chores by 2025? Well, we might not have flying cars yet, but we've got the next best thing: products that basically do your adulting for you. From gadgets that tackle tedious tasks while you scroll TikTok to tools that turn multi-step processes into "press one button and walk away" situations, each find proves we're living in the future – just a slightly less dramatic version than The Jetsons promised.

Imagine delegating your most annoying chores to items that actually get the job done without constant supervision or pep talks. No more standing guard over tasks like some kind of cleaning security detail. These finds handle everything from daily maintenance to deep cleaning while you focus on more important things (like finally watching that show everyone's been talking about). They're like having a personal assistant army, minus the awkward small talk and coffee runs. Because sometimes the best way to handle responsibilities is to find something else to handle them for you.

    Trash can deodorizer attached inside lid, helping with chores.

    Review: "We did what someone else suggested, tied to container and has works fantastic. We had temperatures hit the 100 indices in May and started seeing lots of flies and maggots. YUCK!!! As soon as we attached this, it worked immediately. We are in Louisiana where it is hot as hell, and this had worked amazingly. We even use fly bags near area of garbage, but useless--they'd still get into container (even though has lid). Using this has changed our lives. So happy to find and will probably never be without it." - Gin

    Washing machine cleaner tablets shown next to an open washing machine.

    Review: "I first received this product as a free sample when I purchased my Whirlpool washing machine which includes a "clean with affresh" cycle. Since then, I have been using these for over 10 years. Its super simple, you just toss the tablet directly into the washing barrel - NOT where you put liquid detergent. I particularly like to run the Affresh cleaning cycle after I wash my dogs blankets and bedding. I feel like it helps remove any remaining odor and rinses out the excess hair." - Sadie
