Well, young inventors Rohan Kamdar and Trevor Kerth have come to your rescue with their ironing robot, called the Effie. The robot can dry and iron up to 12 items of clothing at a time. Metro reports that the machine, which can be monitored through an app on your phone, cuts ironing time by 95%, getting your clothes ready within 3 minutes!

See Effie at work in the video below:


Kamdar told Mail Online that the two London-based inventors aimed to “take the pain out of ironing” with their invention. Kamdar admits that his mother does most of his ironing for him, and also mentioned that he would not want to burden his wife, who is a doctor, with the chore either.

The machine is a stroke of genius that sounds like it could change your life for the better. But there is a catch: the prototype is currently priced at £699 (R12 566)! That’s how much a day off from boring chores would cost. 

Possible costs aside, what chore would you give up if you were given the chance?
