In the modern world, where every day you have to do a lot of things in a limited time, household appliances are becoming an indispensable assistant. Many of us have already appreciated the convenience and efficiency of appliances that can significantly reduce the time spent on household chores. But what equipment should you buy to really save time? RTVI editors decided to hand over the choice of household robots to another robot and asked OpenAI’s popular chat bot ChatGPT to advise household appliances.
Robot vacuum cleaner – a new level of cleaning
The first device you need to pay attention to is the robot vacuum cleaner. This arrangement is designed for the automatic cleaning of premises. The robot vacuum cleaner is capable of coping with many cleaning tasks: vacuuming carpets, laminate, tiles, removing hair and pet hair, picking up dust, debris and other small objects.
The advantage of such a device is that it works autonomously, that is, you can go about your business while the robot cleans the house. In addition, the robot vacuum cleaner has a scheduling function, which allows you to set a specific cleaning route and time for it. It drastically reduces the time spent cleaning the house, freeing you from routine and freeing you up to do more important things.
The specific time needed to clean an average apartment with a vacuum cleaner depends on the size and level of dirt in the apartment, as well as the frequency of cleaning. However, on average, cleaning an average apartment using a conventional vacuum cleaner can take from 30 minutes to an hour.
On the other hand, a robot vacuum can save a lot of cleaning time. It can usually finish cleaning in about 1-2 hours, depending on the size of the room and the level of soiling. However, the advantage of a robot vacuum is that it works autonomously and you can do your own work at the time.
So using a robot vacuum can save 30 minutes to several hours of cleaning time, depending on the size of the room and the level of dirt, allowing you to focus on more important tasks.
Dishwasher – not just for big families

Another time-saving appliance is a dishwasher. Many people think that a dishwasher is only necessary for large families with lots of dishes. However, this is not the case. Even if you live alone or as a couple, a dishwasher can make your life easier and save you a lot of time.
The dishwasher is capable of washing many more dishes than you can by hand in the same amount of time. In addition, it works autonomously, and you can go about your business.
The time needed to do the dishes per day depends on the number of people in the family and their daily consumption of dishes. On average, washing dishes by hand can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour a day.
On the other hand, a dishwasher can save a lot of time when washing dishes. Depending on the size and type of dishwasher, it can help you clean dishes from 30 minutes to an hour in a single cycle. In addition, you can load the dishwasher during the day you use the dishes and only run it once a day.
So using a dishwasher can save the average family 30 minutes to an hour of dishwashing time a day, freeing up time for other tasks or just relaxing. Additionally, using a dishwasher can be more hygienic than washing dishes by hand because it uses high-temperature water and disinfectants to remove bacteria and dirt.
Multicooker – a universal assistant in the kitchen
The slow cooker allows you to cook food quickly and easily, as well as keep it warm for a long time. This is especially useful for busy people who don’t have time to cook every day.
Cooking can be time-consuming, especially if you cook every day and try to control the quality and variety of dishes. The average home cook can spend 1-2 hours a day preparing food, including preparing ingredients, cooking, and washing up.
However, using a slow cooker can significantly reduce cooking time. Multicookers allow you to cook a variety of dishes, from soups to pastries, using various functions and settings. Thanks to the automatic mode of the multicooker, you can prepare the ingredients, put them in the multicooker and forget about them until the dish is ready.
The average multicooker user can reduce cooking time by 30-50%, depending on the dish and cooking method. This means you can reduce your meal prep time to 30-60 minutes a day, which can leave you with more free time to do other things.
Summary
It is estimated that using a robot vacuum in an average apartment for 10 years can save around 700 hours. Daily use of a dishwasher for 10 years can save you about 1000 hours. Using a slow cooker for 10 years can save about 500 hours.
So using these devices in combination for 10 years can save more than 2200 hours – nearly 3 months, which can be spent on your business, not household needs.
Of course, all of these numbers are relative and depend on many factors, including individual needs and habits. However, it is safe to say that using household appliances can make life much easier and save a lot of time and effort.
