A dust collecter. Like a dehumidifier but for dust. Its not natural the amount of dust in my house.

Something that makes ironing either 10 times easier or not needed at all.

Can you tell im spending my weekend doing all my housework 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sadly neither Samsung nor LG (from what I can see) has invented an ironing machine with their AirDresser and Styler. Their appliances reduce creasing, but neither claim they do away with the need to iron some things. They do appear to reduce the need to have dry clean only clothes dry cleaned, but as they cost £2k I'm not sure there's a huge saving to be made although it will be convenient being able to refresh things at home.

An all over suncream machine, so at the beach, hotel pool area etc you can stand in a booth and be covered in a mist of suncream.

A synthetic pancreas.

Something to stop grass growing for a few months once you've done the first cut of the year so you only have to do it twice.

I feel like sunscreen pills exist already 🤔
Holland and Barrett do them-they have l-tyrosine in them.

A replicator like they have on Star Trek where you say what you want eg cod and chips with mushy peas or a pair of pants and it materialises in front of your eyes.
Dirty dishes and laundry could then be placed back in it then it just evaporates away.

a tablet or pod like thing that you can drop into the toilet, foams up to the rim to clean it.

Dentastix for children.
Something that can effortlessly beam knowledge into my head without the tediousness of learning.

A robot housekeeper is my dream, I mean it could collect the aforementioned dust, do the ironing, cook, order groceries and crucially put them away and sort our squabbling kids ... I can see those pigs flying!

Have you watched humans? That’s a cautionary tale!
