4 coolest gadgets
Not everyone is already familiar with the principle of crowdfunding, and that is also normal. It’s still a relatively new concept, but one that can help creative people make a difference. You first support a great idea for a product, and then you can follow the progress until the package arrives at your door. These are the four coolest gadgets on crowdfunding websites.
1. Dayoo TranSteamer – versatile and steaming device
For who is it?
For those who want numerous cleaning solutions with one wireless device.
What is it?
Steam cleaning has many applications. You can use steam to clean the couch, do the dishes, make the floor spotless and wash your bike or car. The Dayoo TranSteamer is a cordless steamer with a modular design. It comes with different accessories that help you to take up all these cleaning tasks.
After 30 seconds, the Dayoo TranSteamer already has steam ready and you can get started right away. The device can clean for 16 minutes with one battery charge. You have 30 minutes to mop. View the device and its accessories below.
- Dayoo TranSteamer – Kickstarter – 262 euros incl. shipping – expected in May 2023

2. Litterbot Pro – automatic litter box
For who is it?
For those who love cats, but less of their secretion product.
What is it?
The Litterbot Pro is a litter box that automatically turns its contents. One complete rotation takes 15 minutes, so your cat will not notice the movement. The advantage of the system is that the litter box is always clean, so you don’t have to scoop any poop yourself in between. On the other hand, the system also removes bad odors. Afterwards, after three days of use, you throw away the contents of the container.
- Litterbot Pro – Kickstarter – 93 euros incl. shipping – expected in May 2023
3. Flora Easy – planter that waters automatically
For who is it?
For those who are bad at caring for plants.
What is it?
The Flora Easy does what its name already reveals. It makes it easier to take good care of houseplants. The device has a water tank and a pump and so it can water plants automatically. They can continue like this for two weeks. Ideal for those who regularly forget to pour or for those who often go on holiday.
The pump of the FloraEasy only uses 1 watt of power and it also works very quietly. You can connect the planter to its power source via a USB-C port. This can be a phone charger, but also a power bank or the USB port of your laptop.
- Flora Easy – Kickstarter – 81 euros incl. shipping – expected in June 2023
4. FemTek – smart ring that tracks the menstrual cycle
For who is it?
For women who want more insight about the menstrual cycle
What is it?
There are many apps that use a calendar to predict when a woman’s menstrual period will start. Such systems are not accurate or reliable. The FemTek combines a calendar with temperature data to paint a much more reliable picture. The app can indicate exactly when ovulation occurs and the fertile period occurs. An important advantage is that you only need to wear a ring to measure that temperature data and that only needs to be done at night.
- FemTek – Kickstarter – 205 euros incl. shipping – expected in May 2023
Think of this with crowdfunding
Keep in mind that crowdfunding is always primarily supporting an idea, with no real guarantee that the actual product will meet your expectations. So choose the projects and start-ups that you really believe in and follow the regular development and shipping updates that the start-ups communicate. Supporting projects through crowdfunding is therefore not the same as shopping.
