As a stay at home dad, I’m an expert in all the amazing technology and features in our suburban home. Some of these are features that my wife and kids are clearly TOTALLY unaware of. I’m going to share some of the most interesting ones with you today!
The secret hidden kitchen trash can
Behind our kitchen trash can is …get this…. a SECOND kitchen trash can. Check it out!

So instead of seriously overstuffing the front, you can just open the drawer a little bit further and almost like magic, a SECOND completely empty trash can appears! What amazing times we live in!
The quick-reloading toilet paper holder
When the toilet paper roll runs out, it can be pretty intimidating for my family. I mean it’s blocked in on both ends! How did that roll even get on there in the first place?!?! Did dad unscrew it from the wall???
Plus there’s a good chance they are pooping on mute during a conference call or virtual classroom zoom, so they just put it on top of the old one.

But check this out! We have these fast reloading TP holders. You flip them up to a 45° angle to change them.

So you can have a new roll of Charmin on there faster than someone can say, “You aren’t muted!”
The dishwasher “door handle”
Dishwasher technology has come a long way over the years. They are really amazing machines that can get just about anything clean. Even that spaghetti plate your daughter left in the basement for two weeks.
But the most impressive feature on a dishwasher is something called a “door handle.” Let me show you what it looks like:

It allows literally anyone in the family to open the dishwasher and put their own dirty dishes in! Truly revolutionary technology!
I’ll be sure to add more amazing home features to this post over time. For now be sure to share this remarkably helpful information with your family!
