The best smart home gear, ranked by owners

Smart home devices, networking gear, vacuums and chargers, ranked by their owners' experience at home.

Each product's Owner Score is the share of credible owners who recommend it, from public posts on Reddit, YouTube, Hacker News and Bluesky, with bots and sponsored posts filtered out. Only products with at least 25 owner reviews are ranked, so a few loud opinions can't top the list. How we score

What owners focus on: Owners in this category tend to raise app and connectivity reliability, setup headaches, how well devices keep working after updates, and batteries or parts that need replacing.
