Smart Home prize pack

Each year in January there are many new smart home technologies announced at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES). This year was no exception! During the 4-day digital event, the technology gurus from global brands showcased cutting-edge innovations designed to transform our lives. We too were virtually present to capture every moment at this year’s virtual tech show, including the smart home tech announced at CES. From security monitoring, smart lighting, and entertainment, to the latest and greatest appliances, we covered all the smart home innovations shown at CES 2021 on the blog. To celebrate the new year, we are giving away a huge selection of smart home devices that we previously wrote about on the blog. Read on to learn about some of my favorite CES announcements, then learn how to enter the contest.

The best tech at CES 2021

From smart lights, security cameras, touch-free doorbells, and smart locks, to magic remote for the TV, camera-equipped robot vacuums, and ice-cream makers, we saw a variety of new devices to make your life a little easier and more enjoyable. Let’s have a look at some of the best from CES:

Smart Lighting and Speakers

Philips Hue, one of the most trusted names in smart lighting, highlighted the light switches at CES 2021. The new battery-powered module installs behind your light switches to keep your lights reachable even when the switch is off. Smart speakers, including the Google Nest Hub and Amazon Show, are already one of the central features of the smart home. The newly announced Cleer Crescent smart speaker is perfect for the main hangout room. This smart audio speaker is powered by Google Assistant, boasting a beautiful crescent-shaped design that supports different audio modes and is equipped with eight 40mm full-range drivers and a pair of 3.3-inch woofers.

Home Security and Monitoring

TP-Link introduced six new smart home products to become available throughout 2021. D-Link announced multiple new products at this year’s CES. The one that grabbed the most attention was the D-Link Whole Home Smart Wi-Fi Water Sensor Kit. Arlo, the home security brand, highlighted two products—the Essential Indoor Camera with privacy shutter and the Touchless Video Doorbell. For a detailed overview of the products announced, read the latest and greatest smart home tech announced at CES 2021 article on the blog.

TV Technology

Samsung, Sony, and TCL all had impressive TV announcements, making TVs thinner, lighter, and more similar to integrated video portals, but LG announced an optimized OLED element that will serve up brighter and even more colour-accurate for its 2021 model OLED TVs. Check out the latest and greatest TV tech announced at CES 2021 on the blog.

Computer Tech

It took a pandemic to switch many people to remote working and learning mode, and computer tech has become the top category now more than ever. For announcements by leading manufacturers like Dell and Alienware, ASUS, Acer, and Intel, be sure to read the Computer Tech coverage by Brad Moon.

Home Appliances

LG announced so many great new appliances, including the InstaView fridge, InstaView Cooking Range, Air Purifier, Vacuum, and Wash Tower.

Health and Wearables

Staying healthy has become more of a focus for families this year. Health tech devices can help by promoting physical and mental wellness and by preventing the spread of germs. Read about some of the newest innovations in health and wearables.

Smartphones

LG kicked off CES 2021 on Monday by teasing a rollable smartphone—really? I wonder when foldable phones will become the hottest thing in mobile tech. The company is expected to release the device later this year.

Every year lots of new technologies are announced at CES, and some of them arrive at Best Buy later that year. Last year we reviewed many of the best devices of the year. Now we have assembled four collections from the samples that arrived to the blog and created these smart home prize packages.

  9. i’d love to try the One new small appliance the Cuisinart Complete Chef food processor will prep and cook your food in one stainless steel bowl. You can chop, dice, and slice just like you would with any food processor, and when you’re ready you can touch one of the automatic cook programs to steam, slow cook, saute, or puree your dish right in the bowl. The appliance ranges in temperature from 90 to 270 degrees F, and it has 200 built in recipes you can try

  11. I’m most excited for the JetBot 90 AI+ robotic vacuum! I love that it will not only clean my house while I’m out but it will also keep an eye on my dog! Love that.

  14. I like the GoSun Flow portable solar-powered water purifier and sanitation system for portable clean water.
    But have also looked at new cell phone tech.

  16. Smart thermostat, sounds great but I think I’m more intrigued by the article talking about foldable smartphones. My iPhone 6 has developed some issues, so I thinking this you tech looks great.

  19. Announced at CES 2021 The ever-popular craft ice is available to dispense on the LG Side-By-Side, and there are two other types of ice you can create too. Staying germ-free is important too, and LG has built their advanced cleaning technology into the fridge’s water dispenser. I just thought this was fun.

  23. The portable sanitizers would be useful these days but I like the solar water purifier for the days when I can go camping again.

  26. I am looking to upgrade my tv this year so the 2021 Neo QLED 8K really looks like the one I should go for.

  28. I’m definitely most interested in the security camera and monitoring systems. The Swann Wired Enforcer Security System looks amazing! The six camera system is not only wired-in for greater reliability and peace of mind, but it’s also commercial-grade, With recent thefts on the rise, I am definitely looking into this right now

  34. I’d love the Swann security system! My home doesn’t currently have one and it would be a great addition for my peace of mind!

  37. All the items look great but I think the Arlo Essential Spotlight Security Camera would be interest me the most.

  39. The Cuisinart Complete Chef food processor would interest me as I’m always looking to cut down mess in the kitchen. This would mean only one bowl to clean in prep.

  44. Swann Wired Enforcer 4K Security System
    Sounds awesome, with crime going up in the area that I live, the added security would ease my mind, when at work. Thank you so many great items.

  48. I like the Arlo Touchless Video Doorbell. The view is vertical and you can see all the person and packages at the door.

  50. I’m generally interested in a smart home security system like the Toucan’s Wire Free Security Cameras at CES. Good luck everyone!!
