The Amazfit GTR 4 is packed with features of both fitness and smartwatch varieties and more than competes at this price point. It’s still not the slickest operator in the software department, but if Amazfit can settle on a design approach, continue to improve on-watch smarts and bring in some big apps, it will have […]

Levoit Core 300S
Levoit’s Core 300S combines reasonable air-purifying power with smart controls in an attractive device. Its HEPA filter can scrub particulates, pollen and VOCs from the air in medium-sized rooms, while an onboard particulates sensor helps it adjust dynamically to changing air quality. It’s an ideal purifier for people who need a little more control and […]
Levoit Core 200S
Air purifiers don’t need to be big to be effective, and they needn’t be expensive to have smart features. Levoit’s Core 200S adds smart controls to a HEPA air purifier suitable for smaller rooms. It provides more advanced control than a standard purifier, but without PM2.5 or other sensors, it can’t react dynamically to pollutants. […]
MeacoDry Arete One 10L
A neat and compact dehumidifier, the MeacoDry Arete One 10L has all of the quality features of its big brother, bar the ability to automatically empty into a drain. Still, for smaller homes or for use in a specific area, such as a utility room, this dehumidifier is efficient and works automatically. Pros Easy to […]
TCP Smart Wifi Portable Bladeless Ceramic Heater & Cooling Fan
A compact and well-priced fan heater, the TCP Smart Wifi Portable Bladeless Ceramic Heater & Cooling Fan delivers full remote control via the app. It’s arguably a better heater than it is a cooler, since the fan-only mode offers just a single speed. On heat mode, this fan dishes out a warm corridor of air […]
Duux Tag 2 Ultrasonic Humidifier
Attractive and cheap to run, the Duux Tag 2 Ultrasonic Humidifier is a neat unit for rooms of up to 30m2. It doesn’t have a humidistat, although testing showed that this model was capable of increasing humidity to a sensible level and maintaining it, without oversaturating the air. It’s whisper-quiet, too. Only the relatively high […]
Princess Smart Tower Fan review
The Princess Smart Tower Fan is about as big as tower fans get – meaning it’s also fairly powerful. This fan is also enhanced by some simple smart features, so you can control it from the app or set custom schedules. It offers quite a bit for the money and creates a decent breeze, although […]
Princess Smart Air Cooler
It’s not much to look at and the whine from it means that the Princess Smart Air Cooler isn’t great for a bedroom. However, for other rooms, this is a great choice. With its tank of water, which can be pre-chilled and filled with ice blocks, this evaporative cooler is effective and blows colder air […]
Blueair DustMagnet 5440i
Demonstrably cutting down on the amount of dust in my test room, the Blueair DustMagnet 5440i is a neat way to keep the air clean. Thanks to the PM2.5 dust sensor, this air purifier will respond automatically to dust particles in the air, so it can be left to run on automatic mode. The app […]
