Christmas Gift Guide: 3 Great Home Tech Products Anyone Will Love

There’s nothing quite like getting a little something for your home that just elevates your comfort and adds some value to your day-to-day life; and with Christmas rolling in, and some more time at home during the holidays, what better opportunity to pick up some house-boosting items than now. We’ve rounded up 3 awesome gadgets to keep you comfy this season:

Meaco 260c Rechargable fan

Price: R999

The combination of loadshedding and immense heat during the festive period in South Africa means that you’re often left sweating in the night from air conditioners, fans, and other cooling devices switching off unexpectedly. Meaco’s pint-sized but powerful rechargeable fan is a great option to have a backup to keep you cool during the night or day, with four speed modes and an LED light in the bottom, doubling the device up as an additional light source. It’s incredibly quiet too, and charges via USB-C, so you can basically just use most cellphone chargers to give it a top-up.

Hobot Legee D8 robot vacuum

Price: R11,499

Whether your home has a lot of dust or doghair, the Hobot Legee D8 is a powerful and surprisingly smart robot vacuum cleaner that has a few tricks up its sleeve. What makes this unit special (besides its impressive suction power) is that it also doubles-up as a mop as it has mopping capabilities. The D8 can simply cruise around the house and scoop up stray debris, but if you want, utilising the AI-controlled spray-and-mop feature allows this little handy cleaner to polish up hard wood floors, tiles, or anything else. Additionally, it has a built-in trash compactor, reducing the hassle of frequent bin emptying. The D8 really is like a little garbage truck for your home, in the best way possible.

EcoFlow Delta 2

Price: R17,999

For those who are sick and tired of dealing with power outages, and who might need a little extra oomph from their mobile power solutions when on the road or camping, EcoFlow’s Delta 2 is a hefty option that will deliver enough juice to appease even the most power hungry of appliances and devices. The unit features a 1,800W lithium-ion battery, so you’re getting a substantial amount of Wh to play with, allowing you to keep bigger appliances like refrigerators and hotplates powered for extended periods. Additionally, it has a ton of ports, including 4 AC inputs, USB-A fast charging, and USB-C outlets. It does weigh in at 12kgs, but this is understandable given the size of the battery. However, it’s incredibly powerful, super easy to use with excellently labelled buttons, and recharges efficiently and safely.
