Owner, Yoga for Everybody
Fairfield, Conn.
Gadget she can’t live without:
iRobot Roomba Discovery, a self-charging vacuuming robot. With three speeds—clean, spot and max—the Roomba can tidy up the messiest floor quickly, easily and without supervision. And thanks to state-of-the-art technology, it’s even smart enough not to fall down stairs.
Why she likes it: “I absolutely love it. People are always commenting on how clean the floors are. I use it twice a day at the yoga center—once after our morning classes and once after our night classes. I couldn’t ask my teachers to vacuum after their class—and as a small-business owner, I certainly don’t have time to do it myself.”
Cost: $300
