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
Spring is here, bringing sunshine and rain. Driving in the rain can be hazardous, especially when the glare (from sunshine or headlights) make 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!
Brilliant Smart WiFi Plug with USB Charger

It's also compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for hands-free control and smart scenes. The Brilliant Smart WiFi Plug brings automation and convenience into your home, making it a hidden gem in the tech world!
Xiaomi Mi Smart Robot Vacuum S10
If you love clean floors but hate vacuuming, then you need a robot vacuum cleaner! These nifty tech friends will leave your floor looking spotless with little to no effort on your part. In fact, you can simply set a regular cleaning schedule from an app to have it clean up after you day after day, or you can get it going with the tap of a button. The Mi Smart Robot Vacuum S10 is a great choice and it doesn’t just vacuum, it also mops. With three levels of water flow levels, it'll thoroughly mop your floors all throughout your home.
Thanks to the next generation LDS laser navigation system, the S10 does a pretty efficient and accurate job. The system scans and maps the complex environment of your home to plan the robot’s cleaning route. Even the darkness of the night won’t stop the vacuum from navigating accurately. It can even map out multiple floors and follow customised settings for different rooms. When the robot is done cleaning, it’ll return itself to the charging dock so it’s always ready to go.
Yeelight 1S Smart LED RGB Light Bulb
Smart LED Light Bulbs are an awesome way to change up the mood and atmosphere of your environment, as well as add a whole lot of convenience to your day. Yeelight 1S WiFi LED RGB Smart Light Bulb lets you choose from 16 million colours to personalise your lighting scenes. Alternatively, you can also opt for the pre-set modes such as movie mode, reading mode, romantic mode, or party mode. This can be done from the Yeelight app, where you have a whole lot of other controls too. You can dim the lights, adjust the colour temperature, turn the lights on/off and more - all from your phone! If you have a smart assistant such as Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, you can even make changes with a simple voice command such as, “Hey Alexa, dim the lights!”
If you’re a gamer, you’ll love the immersive gaming experience a 1S Light Bulb can add with seamless integration with major gaming platforms, including Razer Chroma™ RGB and Overworlf. Your different lighting effects will be triggered by game events! You can enjoy wicked lighting effects when you’re listening to music too. Experience changing colours of light flowing smoothly with music or have them strobe to the beat of your favourite tunes! Just a warning though, once you’ve experienced the fun and convenience of a Smart LED Light Bulb, you’re probably going to want to swap all of your light bulbs over to these!
Ninja Foodi 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 airfryer 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 less greasy than when 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 Foodi AF160 is a great choice for most households. At 5.2L, it's large enough to prepare large portions and/or meals for up to 5 people. It even offers auto-settings for reheating, dehydrating, baking, and roasting. Its temperature range is 40 to 240°C offering a great range of control and versatility. If you have a larger household or want the convenience of cooking two different things at the same time, we highly recommend considering a Dual Zone Air Fryer like the Ninja Foodi XXXL AF400 Dual Zone Air Fryer! With two seperate drawers, you could cook a batch of potato chips on one side and chicken wings on the other side at the same time with unique settings. Plus, it has a huge capacity of 9.5L (4.2L per drawer)! This adds a whole new layer of convenience to Air Frying!
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.

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). This is perfect if you have a fussy cat that won’t eat kibble that’s been sitting around for a while or if you’re going away for up to 15 days and have no one around to feed your cat. 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.
