Time saving gadgets

[raven0007]

I've just got my first ever dishwasher. I think it's amazing.
I'm due to start back at work full time in two weeks, I'm a single parent with three DC, 2 diagnosed ASD and ADHD and can't be left unsupervised.

Please tell me any household gadgets, or tips you have found that have really made a difference to your life housework wise.

I have the lovely dishwasher, tumble dryer, Ninja Air-fryer - I've been looking at the little robot vacuums but are they worth it?

Water softener, especially if you're in the south east.

Our robot vacuum never really worked for us. It was always sucking up discarded lego, or getting trapped, it was a noisy little bugger and took forever to do a room. I'd say, unless you have a relatively tidy home and are out doors throughout the day, so you don't have to listen to it, then a cordless hoover is much better for ease and speed.
