    28 Gadgets That Every Apartment Dweller Probably Needs

    "Alexa, make my tiny apartment more tech-friendly."

    1. A portable speaker, so you can bring the ~paaarty~ to your bedroom, kitchen, and living room without investing in a home audio system. This small device plays your favorite beats and easily fits on counters and shelves.

    2. An Instant Pot for making meals in compact kitchens, including chili, ramen, and chocolate lava cake (yes, you *can* make some desserts with this kitchen helper). It combines seven appliances in one ~and~ works as a slow cooker, rice cooker, pressure cooker, steamer, sauté, warmer, and yogurt maker.

    3. A digital alarm clock, because you can't keep relying on your smartphone (or noisy neighbors) to wake you up every day. It looks great on your nightstand and comes with cool features, including a temperature and humidity sensor, and three light levels.

    4. A tiny vacuum that'll clean up messes in all the nooks and crannies of your living space. This small wonder sucks up glitter, dust, crumbs, and other debris in hard-to-reach areas. Pet hair and last night's cookies don't have to decorate your couch.

    5. An Echo Dot so you can have a virtual assistant help you turn devices on and off, set alarms, check the weather, play music, read the news, and answer questions. (Phew.) Smart home? More like *smart apartment.*

    6. Multi-use headphones, because you deserve amazing sound quality and noise reduction while you're working up a sweat in your apartment. They'll fit comfortably around your ears and let you listen to your music without interruptions. Also wouldn't it be great to not have to deal with dangling wires again?

    9. A rapid egg cooker, so you can whip up an ~egg-stravagant~ breakfast in minutes without using your tiny, two-burner stove. Poached eggs, soft boiled eggs, hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, and omelettes are easy to make with this gadget, which uses steam and water to get cookin'.
