You don’t have to like doing the dishes — your LG dishwasher will do them for you. With the latest innovations from the home appliance maker, you won’t have to worry about water spots or a shoddy wash job. LG is bringing its TrueSteam technology to its new line of QuadWash dishwashers. Moreover, the company is expanding its QuadWash and SmartThinQ technologies to all new 2018 dishwashers so that customers with a range of budgets can take advantage of LG’s cleaning technology and Wi-Fi connectivity.

Promising “maximum cleaning coverage and up to 60 percent less water spots,” the LG QuadWash dishwashers combined with TrueSteam boast four spray arm cleaning technology (most dishwashers only have two), as well as a steam generator for an extra clean. The QuadWash technology for which these dishwashers are named also boast Multi-Motion arms that rotate back and forth while they spin, as well as high-pressure jets that attack grime and greaser from a variety of angles.

“LG products are inspired first by consumer needs and behavior, and then combined with years of research and cutting-edge innovations,” LG senior vice president of marketing David VanderWaal said. “Our approach enables us to consistently deliver meaningful, first-to-market advances that make consumer’s lives easier and more enjoyable. LG QuadWash dishwashers with TrueSteam technology are a perfect example — they’re designed to get dishes clean the first time, every time, with 60 percent less water spots.”

Now that the entire 2018 line of LG QuadWash dishwashers will feature LG SmartThinQ technology, you’ll be able to control your appliance from anywhere. Simply tap the mobile app to start or stop the machine, monitor cycle time, and receive alerts when the cycle is done so that you can assign dish unloading chores to members of your family. Moreover, the SmartThinQ-connected appliances are compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, making hands-free control a possibility.

The new LG QuadWash dishwashers with TrueSteam technology are now available at retailers across the U.S., and include six models in a variety of styles and finishes, with prices beginning at $1,099 and going up  to $1,299.

Tesla Powerwall is the best solar, home backup, and EV charging companion
Tesla Powerwall 3 installed on outside of home

Solar power, and having solar panels on your home, is a fantastic way to conserve energy and cut down on power bills, especially if you live somewhere sunny like Florida or California. There's just one glaring issue. When the grid goes down you still lose power because of how it's connected. Your solar panels cannot generate enough energy or keep it stored to keep your power on. So, essentially, your power setup doesn't offer much benefit there, unless you get a home power backup system. More specifically, something like a Tesla Powerwall is a compact home battery that stores energy generated from the grid. That energy is then used as a backup when traditional grid power is unavailable.

To make it even more clear, with a Tesla Powerwall, the power stays on even during a major blackout or outage. It's whole-home backup, too, which means you can power your lights, appliances, electronics, you name it. If you've ever had to throw away an entire refrigerator's worth of spoiled food because of a multi-day outage -- like I have -- you'll certainly appreciate the option to keep your appliances running. But that's not all it can do. The Tesla Powerwall is an excellent companion for Tesla EV owners, creating an entire smart ecosystem of power. Let's explore.

Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage Security Camera -- $27 $50 45% off

While this is ostensibly made for your garage, there's no reason the Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage can't work for other uses as well, especially if you don't need the highest quality of recording. It has an HD camera, which isn't a ton, but it does have an impressive 130-degree field of view.
