Dust can’t get enough
DYSON V11 OUTSIZE
Everything’s bigger in America. That probably explains why Dyson’s
V11 Outsize has been available across the pond for a while now; but with
Joe Biden clearing up Trump’s mess, the jumbo handheld vacuum can
now use its 25%-wider cleaning head and 150%-bigger bin to suck up
some of the rubbish over here too. With 18 cyclones and a powerful
Hyperdymium motor that spins at 125,000rpm, it generates 20% more
suction than the V10 but can still keep on sucking for up to an hour
before it needs recharging. It’s got enough oomph to capture 99.97%
of particles as small as 0.3 microns, while the Dynamic Load Sensor
automatically adjusts the power depending on the floor.

SWITCHBOT CURTAIN
It’s always the same. You’ve just settled down to enjoy a feature-length
doc about potholing and then the sun makes a surprise appearance,
blazing through your window and right onto the screen. That glare is
annoying, but so is getting up to deal with it. Get a SwitchBot Curtain
and you’ll never have such troubles again. This dinky wireless robot is
controlled by an app or your voice, opening and closing your curtains on
demand. It can also be scheduled so you wake up naturally to daylight,
or to throw burglars off the scent by opening and closing the curtains
while you’re away. There’s even an add-on solar panel, so you can cut
down on batteries but still feel like you’re living in the future.
