Love your pets but hate their smells? The Dooli pail may be able to help

The only way to make your pets cuter? To only see (and not smell) them. And now, when it comes to their waste, at least, that’s a possibility. That is, of course, if the new pet waste disposal system known as Dooli is as good as it claims to be. A deodorizing pail setup, this Kickstarter project promises to cater to both cats and dogs, and has branded itself as “the most environmentally friendly pet waste pail on the market.”

While this pail isn’t meant to fully replace your cat’s litter box or your dog’s pad, it aims to quickly address the issue of bad smells without forcing you to take all your pet’s business outside. Using a patented lever mechanism that creates a double seal in the waste bag, Dooli promises to block odors better than other pails. To use the pail, simply lift the lid, use the Dooli Scooper to toss your cat’s litter or your doggy bag into the pail, and then close the lid. The lever technology promises to take care of the rest. You can also choose to have this pet waste pail emit a pleasant scent of its own, and adjust just how much of an air freshener you need after every disposal.

Not only does Dooli promise to be eco-friendly, it’s also meant to be nice to your wallet. Dooli promises nearly twice as many of their seven-layer odor barrier bags for nearly half the cost of competitors.

“Dooli makes the process of pet waste disposal easier than any other pail on the market,” said Alison Diamond, vice president at Dooli. “Our goal here is to take away all unnecessary hassles that come along with other waste pails while making the smallest impact on the environment as possible.”

Right now, you can pre-order the Dooli from Kickstarter for the early bird price of $26, with an estimated delivery date of January 2017. So if you can stand your pets’ smells until early next year, you’ll love them all the more afterwards.

Samsung’s new ‘Lite’ cordless vacuum is as powerful as Dyson and has AI smarts
Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Lite

Samsung announced a number of new products during its World of Samsung event in Frankfurt in the middle of march, including new fridges where Bixby can open the doors, and the world's most powerful cordless vacuum. With the dust having settled on those launches however, the company has thrown another offering into the mix after announcing the Bespoke AI Jet Lite on its newsroom. 

Matching the same suction power as Dyson's flagship Gen5Detect, the Bespoke AI Jet Lite has 280W of power within its lightweight build thanks to Samsung's HexaJet Motor, which is the same motor the company also put in the top-of-the-range Bespoke AI Jet Ultra. The motor is said to rotate at 140,000rpm, which is in fact 5,000rpm more than Dyson's offering, though we're not going to count so we're taking Samsung's word for that.

This smart display alternative just added a powerful new feature to help track your chores

Skylight is responsible for a variety of smart display alternatives with a focus on organization and schedule planning. Last summer, it launched the premium Cal Max -- a 27-inch smart calendar that we called a “streamlined smart display alternative.” Since its arrival, Skylight has continued to roll out new features to the device, and now you’ll find a powerful feature called Routines available across the Skylight Calendar lineup. Designed to simplify chores and build good habits for the entire family, it’s a unique new feature that changes how you interact with the display.

The idea behind Routines is simple -- offer visual feedback and an easy-to-use interface to make it easier than ever to keep track of (and complete) all your chores. These can be set up on a recurring schedule, allowing you to program in everything from a quick 15 minutes of reading before bedtime or a few minutes each morning for your kids to brush their teeth. Routines can be customized with various emojis and color-coding to help keep track of them, and a fun confetti animation is triggered once they’re complete.
