In 2019, FoldiMate is set to launch its laundry-folding robot, and we got a glimpse of it on the showroom floor at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

FoldiMate says its robot "will fold most types of shirts, blouses, or pants from age 6 to adult size XXL," as well as "standard size towels and pillowcases."

Who makes it: FoldiMate, based in California.

Why it's the best: No one likes folding laundry. FoldiMate's robotic product may be a bit large, but you can't argue with the results.

Where and when you can get it: FoldiMate is aiming for a launch in "late 2019." You can add your name to the waitlist on its website.
