Smart Home Reviews

The Shark IQ R101AE robot vacuum has a self-emptying bin and costs less than a comparable Roomba, but it’s not as good a cleaner.

The Amazon Echo Dot was the best smart speaker for less than $50, though it's since been replaced. Plus, the $60 Echo Dot with Clock is still the better value.

The Echo Studio is Amazon's best-sounding Alexa speaker yet, offering impressive bass, but it's not quite the best in its class.

The Sonos Roam is portable, durable and competitively priced, making it an attractive Bluetooth speaker on-the-go and a Sonos system enhancement back home.

The $399 Sonos Move is a battery-powered smart speaker and a portable audio beast.

The Nest Doorbell (battery) sets the standard for what a video doorbell should be, and what it should offer consumers.

This budget Wi-Fi connected Roomba will get the job done, but it’s better for pet-free homes.

The budget-friendly iRobot Roomba 694 offers good performance as a non-mapping robot vacuum, but the real standout is the iRobot Home app.

The Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen)’s sleep sensing abilities, improved smart home UI and refreshed design and make it the best smart display for your bedside

Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) review: The $129 Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) has a clever new auto-framing camera for video chats, making the best affordable Alexa display even better.
