Labour saving devices

Recommended Posts

Which labour-saving devices would you like to have? What jobs do you wish someone would invent a machine to do?

I wish someone would invent a device that puts duvet covers on the duvet for me. Preferably doing the whole bedding-changing palaver would be nice. I have got the hang of a single duvet but double duvets are still beyond me.

An onion peeler would be helpful too. I am a champion onion chopper, can chop them into tiny pieces in a matter of seconds (my ex-housemate literally took an hour to chop an onion, it was painful to watch) but I am very efficient. I just can't peel the damn things. Garlic is a pain to peel as well.

Anyone got any other ideas?

We should cook together, I'm really good at peeling onions but rubbish at chopping them. The bed-making device would be very helpful, as I'm not very good at that, especially the duvet aspect.

Something to load the dishwasher would be great as I always end up retching when I do it.

Believe it or not, if you stand by running water at the sink when peeling/chopping onions it doesn't make your eyes water :shock: It works for me anyway.

Labour saving device, something that keeps dust out of my house. As soon as you dust its back again :(

Count yourself lucky you have one.

I'd like a robot to clean the cat litter tray, do the hoovering and ironing please.
