Technology abounds in virtually every area of the home right through from bathroom to kitchen. If your kitchen hasn’t embraced the latest technology yet then consider these seven tech gadgets to transform your kitchen into an ikitchen.

1.) Talk it Up

Forget all those frustrating instructions on how to programme your coffee machine, simply invest in a machine that allows you to talk to it instead of pushing buttons.

With this handy device set in a convenient location in your kitchen you can simply tell it what you need to pick up at the grocery store next time you’re there. So instead of searching for a pen and the elusive ‘shopping list’ pad you thought you’d placed somewhere easy to reach you can simply start talking. Once you press print on this clever device you’ll have a list in hand ready to go. Even more impressive is that your list will be sorted into categories for you, which will make your job at the store even easier. We can hear the sighs of relief from all those busy mums who continue to battle with time and all their competing priorities including maintaining a perfectly filled pantry!

3.) Hands Free Faucets

Grubby taps are a thing of the past thanks to high tech gadgets that offer touch technology to begin water flow. Touch technology goes beyond taps too, with waste bins offering hands free opening and even cabinet drawers and doors that respond to a simple wave of the hand or tap to open.

4.) Robot Wonders

Forget getting down on your hands and knees to wash your kitchen floor now that there is a robot that can do the hard work for you.
