iRobot’s Roomba i7+ is the automated equivalent of having a maid who listens to voice commands, cleans better as they learn your home’s layout, and empties the dustbin. The truly autonomous vacuum measures 13.4 inches in diameter and 3.7 inches tall, with a sleek black-and-silver body and built-in navigation camera. It also comes with a Clean Base dock for charging and storage.

Anker estimates battery life of about seven hours with ANC off, or six hours with it on; the clamshell case carries an additional 35 hours, and charges wirelessly with Qi-compatible devices.

Amazon’s Fire HD 10 tablet covers all your on-the-go computing needs.

Made of matte plastic and available in black, blue, green, or pink, the tablet comes with dual stereo speakers, a USB-C port, and microSD memory card slot. The basic model has 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and ads on the lock screen. (For an additional $15, you can remove the ads, while another $40 doubles your storage.)

Netflix and chill with Amazon’s third-generation Fire TV Stick—nearly identical to its predecessor, but faster with a new remote and interface. Unadorned, save for an embossed Amazon logo and micro USB port, the simple 3.4-by-1.2-inch (HW) black plastic rectangle has an HDMI plug sticking out of one end. The accompanying remote offers Alexa voice support, as well as dedicated service buttons for Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, and Netflix.

Keep an eye on your home, even when you’re not there, with the Blink Outdoor security camera system. The wireless battery-powered cam’s video motion detection captures 1080p footage at 30fps, while its 110-degree field of view and infrared LED night vision offer peace of mind. Plus, you can communicate with visitors (invited or not) via a two-way speaker and microphone. The Blink system works with Alexa voice commands and IFTTT applets; cloud storage requires a subscription, but video can be stored locally and clips viewed on demand.

The Apple Watch Series 7 launched last year with a larger 1.7mm display and faster charging—available in 41mm or 54mm and a limited set of colors. The always-on smartwatch’s biggest upgrade, though, is its improved durability, sporting a dustproof IP6X certification, more crack-resistant Ion-X glass, and water resistance up to 164 feet.
