We’re always searching for new ways to make our homes work better for our daily lives. Whether it’s countertop materials that are a breeze to clean, a robot vacuum that handles daily messes, or a refrigerator that will make you coffee first thing in the morning (and play music from all your Spotify playlists), there are so many items that can make our lives at home easier—and revamp our routines. 

It’s playoff season, and as the biggest sporting event of the year approaches, pro football fans watch with baited breath to find out who will be contending for the Lombardi Trophy.  Of course, true fans want to watch the playoffs – and Super Bowl, of course – with tip-top picture and sound.
