Kenmore Pizza Maker & Microwave Combo

I suppose that nowadays nobody can do without a microwave oven anymore – I certainly can't. On the other hand, when baking or warming a pizza, or food such as cookies, a microwave doesn't give you the crispy result you would like. Ideally, you need to own a microwave and a traditional oven. For those who are living in a small apartment or student accommodation, thus far the solution would be to buy a combo oven. But this lets you use either the oven or the microwave – not both at the same time. The Kenmore Combo is a new space-saving idea offering simultaneous use of microwave and oven in a compact design.

Caroma Water & Space-Saving Toilet with Integrated Hand Basin

When I first saw this toilet by Caroma, with its integrated hand basin, I was astonished by the simplicity of the idea. Why did it take more than a century to come up with something like this? I still can't decide if I find it brilliant or silly, but it's certainly original. What's also certain is that it saves you both water and space.

The Five-Device Recharging Station from Mundi

Five Device Recharging Station from MundiWe've already covered the ChargePod, which charges six electronic devices simultaneously. Although we found this to be compact and useful, the devices, with their short charging cables, are still lying around on the table while charging. In contrast, the five-device recharging station adds the convenience of a holder for each device.

Tip – Store Your Car Rooftop Box

Ijust love car rooftop boxes. They are light, relatively affordable, dry, and aerodynamic, and when you open them they offer a surprising amount of storage space that you would never suspect looking at them from the outside. The drawback, as with many other storage and transport solutions, is that they take up a lot of space in your home when you're not using them. Here's a solution.

CD-DVD archive – 120 disks in the minimum possible storage space

Unhappy with the space your CD or DVD collection is taking up in your cabinets? Or have a lot of data CDs or DVDs to archive? Several solutions already exist that replace the jewel cases, but this is really the most compact and user friendly I've seen so far. It holds 120 disks with no wasted space between them, and still allows you to take a disk out with the press of a button.

Pack Mate Roll-Bag – Space-saving Solution for Travel Luggage

The vacuum solutions provided by SpaceBag, Pack Mate, and others are a great invention to compress your blankets, pullovers, and other items before storing them in your closets for a season. For travel purposes, they're less useful, because you'll need a vacuum cleaner before setting off for the return trip. It appears that many tents, caravans, and other holiday homes tend not to have these available. But with Pack Mate, you don't need a vacuum cleaner, making it ideal for your travel luggage.

Vacusac - Space Saving Storage for your Closet

In a climate like ours, the moment when you need to swap summer and winter clothes or blankets is never too far away. As is the painful confrontation with the space these things take up in your closet. The answer is the Pack Mate, the SpaceBag and other space saving Vacusac solutions. They have been around for some time now, but they are still my favorite space-saving solutions. They comprise plastic bags that you can vacuum after stuffing your stuff inside, thereby reducing the volume to a fraction of the original size. To achieve this, all you need is a simple household vacuum cleaner.
