The pressure to give the perfect gift this season is on. So, instead of a standard sweater or gift card why not give the friends and family on your list the gift of convenience like an appliance or kitchen gadget? These are often gifts that people won’t purchase for themselves but truly appreciate and likely use on a regular basis. Whether you are looking for gifts for cooks, gifts for families, or gifts for people who like to clean, here are twelve innovative appliances to give and receive this holiday season.

Hisense HWD46029SS Dual-Zone Wine Cooler

Why buy a bottle of wine when you buy a wine cooler? Wine aficionados and aspiring ones alike will appreciate the Hisense HWD46029SS Dual-Zone Wine Cooler. This generously sized cooler holds 46 bottles and has two zones to easily store both red and wines at their ideal temperatures. It also has an energy-efficient design and a door that blocks damaging UV rays. With a stainless steel frame and sleek wood shelves, it easily complements any kitchen or living room.

Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra

Looking to give someone the gift of convenience? What could make life easier than an award-winning robot vacuum mop combo? One of the best options currently on the market is the Robrock S7 MaxV Ultra. With more than double the suction of other Roborock models, it even has a Max Plus mode for extra messy homes. One of the best features is that it is self-emptying. Brilliantly engineered, users can go as much as seven weeks without changing the bag. Better yet, the water tank refills itself. This model also has artificial intelligence features (AI) including 3D scanning which helps the robot avoid basic obstacles like shoes and potentially disastrous ones like pet waste.

Shark Wandvac Self-Empty System

But not everyone is into robot vacuums, so a stick like the Shark Wandvac is also worth considering. Weighing just 2.1 pounds, it’s a pleasure to use. Smartly designed, this cordless vacuum not only cleans incredibly well but also has a HEPA filter making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. But best of all, it self-empties into the charger base. Dust and debris are sealed in a container for up to 30 days, giving users 100 percent less dust exposure than other stick vacuums. Say goodbye to those regular trips to the garbage can. The vacuum also comes with Crevice Tool and Pet-Multi Tool designed for cleaning upholstery.

Maytag Pet Pro System

While pet owners love their pets, most could do without the excess hair on their clothes. Fortunately, Maytag has an excellent solution to this problem with their Pet Pro System washer and dryer. The washer has a filter that removes five times more pet hair from clothing and linens compared to standard models. The dryer is also engineered to remove pet hair as well.

Puraclenz Air Purifier

In a post-Covid world, protecting yourself from germs and allergens is a must. PuraClenz offers purifiers in a variety of sizes to fit any room in the home. With a cool, modern aesthetic, it uses PCO photocatalytic oxidation to boost indoor air quality, deactivating allergens, viruses, mold, bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens. It also helps remove odors. These air purifiers can be installed on the floor, counter, or even on a wall, making Puraclenz a great choice for smaller spaces such as home offices, apartments, and condos.

Wolf Elite Countertop Oven With Convection

However, if you’d prefer to give someone a countertop oven with lots of bells and whistles, opt for the Wolf Elite Countertop Oven With Convection. With red knobs, some have even dubbed this gorgeously designed appliance the “Christian Louboutin of countertop ovens.” Not into red? Black and brushed silver knobs are also available. This little appliance not only compliments the kitchen, but has a range of functions from baking to broiling, roasting, toasting, warming, and more. With five heating elements, everything cooks evenly and deliciously.

Choose from Black Steel, French Copper, Gold, and Stainless Steel models.

Moma Design Store Lomi Food Waste Composter

Searching for a great gift for a crunchy foodie? The Lomi Food Waste Composter from the Moma Design Store makes composting easy without the big stinky waste bins and leaky garbage bags. With refillable charcoal filters, odors are kept out of the kitchen. It also operates quietly, so it will likely be preferred to loud garbage disposals.
