START YOUR DAY THE HIGH-TECH WAY

THESE GADGETS WILL MAKE ALMOST ANYONE MORE OF A MORNING PERSON

The June smart oven, shown above, can get you from morning to night, since it acts as toaster, broiler, grill, air fryer and more. Some folks just aren’t made for mornings. For those who need a little extra time to get going, here are some high-tech gadgets to make things a little easier.

POUR IT ON Nothing says morning like that first cup of Joe. Whether it’s an Americano, a macchiato, or a double-shot espresso, the hard-working deluxe Miele CM 7750 CoffeeSelect will help set your day in order, right from that first sleepy stumble into the kitchen. It offers 20 on-demand drink specialties at the tap of a button, and it sits right on your countertop. Its innovative grinder system grinds the beans fresh for each order, and the CM 7750 features three separate bean containers to ensure that your order will be prepared just right. Miele’s WiFiConn@ct technology allows owners to operate and monitor their machine remotely from their smartphone. And the Miele CM 7750, which is available for $5,999, has a descaling process that automatically prevents the buildup of limescale.

IT’S A TOASTER—AND A ROASTER The June smart oven is a space-saving 12-in-one device that can serve as a toaster, a broiler, a grill, a convection oven, a slow cooker, an air fryer, a roaster, a pizza oven, and more. And it’s not much bigger than a microwave. Internal cameras allow the oven to automatically recognize whatever food you are preparing as soon as you pop it into the oven, and to provide a variety of cooking options immediately. You can take complete control of the cooking process, or just let the smart oven take care of it all. It’s available for $599, $849, or $999, depending on features, and it will notify you via app when dinner is ready.

SMOOTHIES AND MORE The stylish Vitamix Ascent Series A3500 blender features five program settings— including a self-cleaning feature—that allow users to create smoothies, hot soups, dips and spreads, and frozen desserts. The blender will automatically adjust to the container size you’ve selected, process your recipes, and stop the blender when complete. Touchscreen controls give the machine a sleek silhouette and offer easy cleaning, and a programmable timer is also included. Built-in wireless connectivity will allow the A3500, which is available for $599.95, to evolve with the latest innovations for years to come.

BRUSH UP ON YOUR APPS Slim, handsome, and easy to handle, the Colgate Hum features a small brush head that can reach the far corners of your mouth without any discomfort. Its companion mobile app tracks your brushing and shows you spots you’re missing. Your brushing sessions are stored on the brush for 10 days and then get uploaded to your phone when you open the Hum app. If you don’t have a free outlet in your bathroom, there’s a version of the Hum, which is available for $70, that takes two AAA batteries.

IONIC AND ICONIC The Moda One Smart Ionic Hair Dryer features sensors that measure hair moisture levels and air temperature more than 20 times per second, and then the dryer automatically adjusts heat and airflow to prevent any heat damage to your hair. Advanced ion concentration technology releases millions of negative ions as the hair dries to seal the hair cuticle for increased shine and manageability. You can connect your smartphone to the Moda One app for preprogrammed drying modes that include manual, cool, pet, kids, and eco mode. The Moda One dryer is available for $299.
