Where I live almost nobody have a robotic lawn mower, though I've seen a few on a "smart home" trade show the other day. Dishwashers however are truly magic and the second best time saver after washing machines.
But cutting out laundry, dishwashing and lawn mowing still leaves some time sinks. Like cooking, where machines currently solve the ingredient prep and the actual cooking parts, but do not help much with cleaning up the mess afterwards (beyond the baseline of using a dishwasher). Or dusting, laundry folding, general cleaning. These tasks I'd wish they could disappear.
And then there's the general category of maintenance - most of the products around us require regular care. Which gets annoying rather quickly.
The tech we have is cool, but there's so much more to be done! I'm hoping the future will eventually bring self-cleaning and self-repairing materials.
