Automated laundry machines your next best friend

Despite being an expensive gadget, the FoldiMate could just be the answer to all your laundry-related prayers.

This automated machine is slated to steam, sanitise, fold, soften and even perfume your laundry in mere seconds, all so that you never have to do it again.

All you have to do is place your clothes in FoldiMate’s clippers, which will then start steaming to remove the wrinkles and then fold them automatically – and that is just its basic function.

This gizmo is expected to take pre-orders early 2017, which is estimated to cost between $700-850
