The Coolest Gadgets for Summer

Summer has countless delightful activities to indulge in, from lounging around the pool to road trips with your closest friends and family. If you want to make the most of the next few months, consider adding some of these handy gadgets to your adventures that will help make it the coolest summer yet.

Ice cream maker

Ice cream is one of the unofficial foods of the season. If you’re one of the millions of people who indulge in the sweet treat during summer, what could be better than making your own ice cream at home? The Ninja CREAMi 7-in-1 Ice Cream Maker will help you create any of your favorite frozen treats, including ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies, and sorbet. Simply freeze your base ingredients, add them to the device, and the Creamify technology will create the dessert of your choice. Finish your refreshing creation by adding chocolate, nuts, or fruit to customize the taste and texture of your ice cream. Whether you choose healthy fruit or a decadent delight, the CREAMi will help capture the taste of summer in every bite.

Grill cleaning robot

Scraping debris from the grates of your grill used to be one of the worst parts of outdoor cooking, but not anymore thanks to the Grillbot. This device is easy to use—simply put it on the grates, set the timer, and let the Grillbot work its magic. The Grillbot has a trio of brushes that remove charred residue, and its heat-resistant plastic keeps it safe when working on scalding surfaces. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery powers the Grillbot’s three electronic motors. There is no need to keep a watchful eye on this machine, as an LCD alarm and timer will notify you once it’s finished so you can spend less time cleaning up.

Mosquito repeller

This device prevents one of the peskiest pests from disturbing your fun. The device uses heat-activated repellant mats that are scent-free and won’t leave any sticky residue on your skin, and each mat provides up to four hours of mosquito protection.

Dog vest

Everyone wants to stay cool during the summer, including man’s best friend. If you have a pup that loves to spend warm days outdoors with you, consider adding the Swamp Cooler Dog Cooling Vest to your dog’s wardrobe. Preparing the vest is simple—soak it in water, wring it out, and put it on your pooch. The three-layer construction helps keep your dog cool as the water evaporates, and the UPF coverage helps shade your dog from the sun. With sizes ranging from extra-small to extra-large, there is a vest for every chihuahua, beagle, and great dane to prevent them from turning into hot dogs.

Tablet holder

The serenade of “Are we there yet?” coming from your backseat can quickly turn a dream vacation into a road trip nightmare. However, you can keep passengers both young and old occupied with the Macally Car Headrest Tablet Holder. Simply mount the holder from the headrest of one of the front seats, and attach your tablet of choice that’s between seven and ten inches wide. The hours of potential entertainment will bring a moment’s peace on your trek.

Cooling mattress pad

There are few things as unbearable as trying to get a good night’s rest on a muggy summer night. However, adding a cooling mattress pad will help make your evenings a little more pleasant. This Brooklyn Bedding cooling mattress protector helps pull heat away from your body. The silky fabric provides hours of comfort, and the hypoallergenic design protects you from bacteria and dust mites. Add this comforting mattress protector to your home and put uncomfortable nights to bed.

Chiller sticks

Is there anything better than kicking back with a cold soda or adult beverage on a lazy summer afternoon? If the latest case of your preferred drink hasn’t had time to thoroughly chill, reach for this pair of chiller sticks from Brew House Chillers. All you need to do is place these eight-inch sticks into your freezer for forty-five minutes, put one in your bottle, and get ready to enjoy a refreshing beverage. Don’t worry about removing it when you drink, as convenient openings at the top are designed to be leak-free.
