Tech To Keep Your Home Ready For Any Weather
Summary
Matt Cooper and Andy O'Donoghue discuss the health risks of "sealed box" homes, including dust mites, mold, and radon exposure. They review several smart home solutions to improve air quality and cleanliness, such as the Lavoic air purifier, Roborock's high-end robot vacuum, and a budget-friendly self-emptying vacuum. The segment also covers a smart dehumidifier for drying clothes and an air quality monitor that tracks radon and CO2 levels.
