With new tech being released left, right and center, it can be hard to keep up with all of the latest tech at times. With popular tech products like new smartphones, TVs, headphones, and laptops making up most of the buzz, it can be easy to miss some of the smaller, more niche categories. Because of this, products that turn out to be super useful and convenient additions to our lives will fly under the radar for some time until we stumble across it or it's recommended by someone. This is one of those times! We've compiled a list of some cool and useful tech items that you didn't know you needed!
Ninja BC100 Blast Portable Blender
If you love drinking smoothies, you’ll love that you can easily have them wherever you go thanks to Ninja BC100 Blast Portable Blender. Whether you're at home, at work, at the gym, in the car, or on holiday, this lightweight, compact cordless blender is perfect for smoothies and protein shakes.The perks of having one of these instead of buying smoothies while you’re out is that you’ll save money in the long run and your smoothies will be so much healthier (seriously, the ones you buy at large chains are not as healthy as you think and often full of syrups, ice-cream, and other sugar laden additions).
The BC100 is super portable, designed with a easy-open sip lid and a carry handle. Despite it's portability, you'll be impressed by its power! The ribbed vessel creates a vortex while the durable, stainless steel BlastBlade Assembly blasts through ice and frozen ingredients, blitzing up your smoothies in just 30 seconds. You'll get about 15 blends on a single charge. When it comes time to re-charge, this can be done so easily using a USB-C cable. A full re-charge takes roughly 2 hours.
Bebird Note3 Pro Smart Ear Cleaner
Do you ever find yourself on the weird side of YouTube watching gross ear wax removal videos yet finding them weirdly satisfying? Well, now you can watch them in real time! Or if you’re just a normal person who likes to have clean ears, this is for you too… Using Q-tips in your ears can actually make your earwax worse as it pushes ear wax further in, clogging your ear canal over time. Bebird’s Note3 Pro Smart Ear Cleaner provides a safer and more effective way to clear out your ear wax.
The Bebird features an HD Camera which wirelessly streams a full view of your ear to your phone as you safely remove ear wax with the silicone scoop. The Note3 captures in HD at 10MP and has a 14mm lens focal length. It features a 6pc LED light, a super sensitive sensor, and a 6-axis intelligent gyroscope for accurate, fast, and stable ear picking. It also comes with 12 different ear spoons to choose from, as well as an option to use robotic arm tweezers to pick out ear wax with more precision.
Xiaomi Polarised Fitover Sunglasses
Driving in the rain can be hazardous, especially when the glare (from sunshine or headlights) makes visibility difficult. A simple lifehack: wear polarised sunglasses to reduce glare in the rain. Xiaomi's Polarised Fitover Sunglasses are a great solution for this, for both glasses and non-glasses wearers. Because these easily fit over glasses of all shapes (including myopia glasses for nearsightedness), you don't have to buy prescription polarised sunglasses, which can be quite expensive!
Simply put them on over your glasses to experience powerful sunblocking (100% UV light protection) and 95% polarisation that effectively blocks blinding glare. The surface of the lens is coated with 8 layers of OAR anti-reflective film to significantly reduce visual interference caused by reflected light and improve the transparency of the lens. Beyond driving, these are great to have for travelling, camping, fishing, and any other scenario where you want to block bright light or may be dealing with blinding glare.
PetKit PURA MAX 2 Smart LitterBox
If you have a poop-eating dog around the house, you’re frequently away from home, or you simply like to make your life easier, a smart self-cleaning litter box sounds like something you need. The PetKit Pura Max 2 Litter Box is an extra large cylinder that is spacious enough for any cat. A covered construction provides your cat privacy while it’s doing its business, reduces odours, and keeps litter or waste from going everywhere if your cat tends to make a mess.
The self-cleaning litter box works by filtering away any clumps to the all-sealed waste draw (which can hold up to 15 days of waste and completely traps odour). Using the PETKIT app, you can choose whether you want it to clean the litter automatically (as soon as your cat exits), on a schedule, or manually. The app even provides real-time health tracking and keeps track of your cat’s weight, usage frequency, and duration. Additionally, the litter box comes with the Pura Air Smart Spray that further reduces odour while providing up to 99% sterilisation. It’s compatible with all kinds of litter whether that’s clay litter, tofu litter or mixed litter!
Smart Wi-Fi Plug - TP-Link Tapo P100 Mini
Small in size but big on convenience, the Tapo P100 turns ordinary appliances into smart ones you can control from your phone - perfect for lamps, fans, heaters and more - without blocking the neighbouring socket. Set and forget with Schedules and Timers to wake up to a warm room or fresh coffee, and use Away Mode to make your home look occupied while you’re away. Hands full? Voice control via Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa or SmartThings has you covered. No hub needed - just 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with Bluetooth for quick setup. Even if the internet drops, it works on your local network, and its UL94-V0 flame-retardant build plus RCM/CE certifications offer peace of mind. The 2-pack means you can smarten two spaces at once - living room and bedroom sorted.
Xiaomi Mi Smart X10 Vacuum & Mop 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum with Dock
If you love clean floors but hate vacuuming, the Xiaomi Mi Smart X10 Vacuum and Mop 2-in-1 Robot is an easy upgrade. It vacuums and mops in one pass, then auto-empties into the dock’s sealed 2.5L bag (good for dozens of cleans) so you handle dust less often. With 4000 Pa suction and a 5200 mAh battery delivering up to 180 minutes of runtime, it has the power and stamina for whole-home tidy-ups. Advanced LDS laser navigation maps your rooms for efficient, accurate routing, and the Mi Home app lets you build custom cleaning plans, set schedules, and trigger spot cleans. Prefer hands-free? Enable voice control with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa and start a clean with a quick command. When it’s done, the X10 returns to the dock to recharge and empty, ready for the next run - ideal for busy households, pet hair, and anyone who wants consistently clean floors with minimal effort.
Yeelight W3 Smart LED RGB Light Bulb
Smart LED bulbs are an easy way to transform your space, and the Yeelight W3 WiFi LED RGB Smart Light Bulb takes it up a notch. With up to 900 lumens of brightness and just 8W power draw, it delivers vibrant, energy-efficient lighting in 16 million colours. You can fine-tune brightness, colour temperature, and effects through the Yeelight app, or go hands-free with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, or Apple HomeKit voice control. Want instant ambience? Choose from preset modes like Movie Night, Party, or Reading, or create your own custom scenes. Gamers will love its integration with Razer Chroma and Overwolf for reactive lighting effects, while music sync mode turns your favourite tracks into a light show. Whether you’re setting the mood, boosting productivity, or just having fun, the W3 makes it effortless - and once you try it, you’ll want them in every room.
Ninja Air Fryer
What Air Fryer owner do you know who doesn’t love their Air Fryer? Yeah, yeah, it sounds like a gimmick at first - that’s what we all thought! But once you’ve owned one, you’ll never think of an air fryer the same again, especially if you like the idea of low-effort cooking. For example, you can make roasted potatoes in half the time it would take in the oven, and they turn out crispier! And yes, those crispy chicken wings you throw in will actually have that satisfying crisp, but will be less greasy than if they had been cooked in a deep fryer and less soggy than in an oven. You’ll eventually realise it’s capable of doing way more than you originally thought, and you’ll enter the experimentation phase of trying everything in there!
The Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL With 6.2L Mega Zone (AF181) is a great pick for most households. The XL 6.2L basket handles family-size portions, while MaxCrisp tech pushes up to 230°C for hot, crispy results with little to no oil. You also get six cooking functions - Max Crisp, Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Reheat and Dehydrate - plus frozen-to-crispy performance and easy clean-up with a non-stick, dishwasher-safe basket and crisper plate.
If you want more flexibility, step up to the Ninja Foodi AF400 Max XXXL 9.5L Dual Zone Air Fryer. Two independent drawers let you cook two foods at once with settings that suit each side, and DualZone technology gives you Smart Finish (both sides finish together) or Match Cook (copy one side’s settings to both). There are six presets - Max Crisp, Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Reheat and Dehydrate - plus an auto-adjust fan with variable speed to optimise each mode. It’s ideal for cooking mains and sides together, or keeping different tastes and dietary needs separate.
PetKit Fresh Element Solo Smart Pet Feeder
Next up we’ve got two products that go hand-in-hand to keep your pet fed and healthy. The first is PetKit’s Fresh Element SOLO Smart Pet Feeder that helps to ensure a healthy and regular diet for your cat or dog. Fill up the compartment with kibble or freeze-dried food, and remotely feed your pet from anywhere (either manually or you can set a schedule).

A duo-lock system keeps the food fresh and an enhanced impeller and dispenser chute ensures food never gets stuck. There’s even a backup power supply in case there’s a power outage! This will be extremely useful if you’re frequently on work trips or away from home and need to ensure your pet is taken care of.
