Best Home Products Right Now
Categories worth investing in, and what to look for when you shop. Our editors focus on value, reliability and real-world usefulness.
Smart thermostats
Learning thermostats can cut heating and cooling costs. Look for ENERGY STAR certification, geofencing and compatibility with your HVAC system.
Video doorbells
Choose one with head-to-toe field of view, local storage options and reliable motion alerts without a mandatory subscription.
Smart locks
Keyless entry with auto-lock and temporary guest codes. Pick a model with a physical key backup and a strong security rating.
Water-leak sensors
Small, inexpensive sensors under sinks, near the water heater and by the washer can prevent thousands in damage. Some pair with automatic shutoff valves.
Cordless tool kits
A drill/driver, impact driver and oscillating tool on one battery platform handle most DIY repairs.
Air purifiers & dehumidifiers
True HEPA purifiers sized to your room improve air quality; dehumidifiers keep basements below 50% humidity to prevent mold.
