3 innovative Kickstarter startups that deserve your attention
1. Mila Air Purifier
When three dads discovered that the air purifiers available on the market will not give the clean air they wanted for their kids, they decided to team up and create the perfect air purifier. Mila is the result of their efforts. The device offers real-time monitoring of air conditions through a smartphone app. It learns the size of every room in your home so as to perform optimally. Mila is HEPA certified, meaning that it removes 99.7 percent of airborne particles that are 0.3 micrometers in diameter. This includes things like allergens, spores, dander, dust, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and particulate matter. Mila comes with six custom filters and eight sensors.
“Our goal is simple: to make the absolute best air purifier on the market. That means top-notch performance, design, and technology, all at a price every family can afford,” the makers say right at the start of their Kickstarter campaign. And looking at the price, it seems as if they have delivered on the promise. At just US$249 per unit, Mila is far cheaper than its competitors like Dyson and Molekule which sell for US$599 and US$799 respectively. The filter price of Mila is also on the lower side at about US$39 to US$79. In comparison, Dyson’s filter is priced at around US$150 while the Molekule one comes at about US$140.

Mellow Duo is a device that promises to deliver perfect sous vide meals every time you use it. Using the sous vide cooking technique, the food turns out tender and juicier while also keeping all nutrients. The dual-vat system of Mellow Duo allows you to cook in larger quantities than other sous vide machines available on the market. It also enables you to cook multiple dishes at the same time.
A smartphone app ensures 24/7 connectivity with your device, meaning that no matter where you are, you will always be in control of the cooking process. Imagine going for a 30-minute walk and still being able to know exactly how the chicken is cooking! The basic single vat device costs US$149 and is good enough to cook up to 6 portions of food. The dual vat version costs US$199 and can cook up to 14 portions at a time. You can cook meat, seafood, vegetables, rice, and even desserts using Mellow Duo. Check out the device on Kickstarter now.
