But these daily housework activities don’t have to consume your life. With the help of home robots, you can use those ‘extra’ hours in your day doing more enjoyable things and/or relaxing. We found 5 robots for the home under $2500 (most under $1000) that can help you out.

Robomow robotic lawnmower rl1000Robomow: For many, mowing the lawn is their least favorite chore, especially on sizzling hot summer days. But thanks to Robomow, maintaining your lawn has never been easier.

How does it work? Consumers are required to first outline their lawn with a special wire that is included in the Robomow kit. The barrier is set so that the automatic lawn mower is aware of its boundaries. Then with a simple press of a button, the robot clips overgrown grass in its perimeter. The grass is turned into extra fine mulch so clippings do not need to be collected. Installed crash sensors also enable the mower to avoid solid objects in its way. Price: $1400-$2300
