New tech keeps arriving, and a lot of it actually makes everyday life easier. What’s worth your money right now? Check out our roundup of top tech gadgets worth trying.
From home robots to VR glasses that support your well-being, today’s consumer tech is aimed at making our lives healthier, more efficient, and more sustainable than ever.
The Amazon Astro household robot helps you see all around your home when you’re not present, with the help of a periscope camera that raises and lowers.
With the Amazon Astro household robot, you can check on pretty much anything at home. The periscope camera extends up from its base, giving you a live view around the room, and it can even carry small items between rooms in its cargo bin.
Astro is still sold by invitation only, now at $1,599. Learn more about it on Amazon.
The HTC VIVE Flow VR glasses support your health and well-being. They have a comfortable, lightweight design for easy portability.
Another tech gadget worth trying is the HTC VIVE Flow VR Glasses. Unlike most VR glasses, they aren’t really for playing games or business purposes. Instead, you can use them for meditation apps, brain training apps, or watching movies and TV.
Check current pricing on the official HTC Vive website — it varies with ongoing promotions.
Want a smart display for your morning routine? The Google Nest Hub Max lets you check the weather, watch videos, view traffic, and control your smart home from one screen.
Multitask while getting ready in the morning with a smart display like the Google Nest Hub Max. Its touchscreen makes checking your day easy, and it doubles as a security camera and smart home hub thanks to its built-in camera and Google Assistant integration.
Available directly from Google and major retailers.
The XGIMI Aura 2 4K laser projector is ultra-short throw. It produces a large, clear image from just inches away from the wall for better viewing in tighter rooms.
Maybe your next TV isn’t a TV, but an XGIMI Aura 2 4K laser projector. This stylish tech gadget saves you space and displays 4K UHD resolution with Dolby Vision for an impressively detailed viewing experience.
Check current pricing on the official XGIMI website.
The DJI Mavic 4 Pro drone has a Hasselblad camera system and omnidirectional obstacle sensing for collision-free flights.
For easy, worry-free drone flying, go for the DJI Mavic 4 Pro. It carries a pro-level 100MP Hasselblad camera system and senses objects in all directions, and it’s the current flagship in the Mavic line that made this list’s original DJI Mavic 3 pick a generation behind.
Get it on Amazon or the official DJI website.
Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses put a screen right in your field of view, letting you read texts, follow directions, and respond to AI prompts without pulling out your phone.
Unlike older smart glasses that were just camera-and-speaker combos, the Meta Ray-Ban Display adds an actual heads-up display — a translucent screen visible only to the wearer, controlled with a wristband that reads subtle hand gestures. The flagship model runs $799; Meta introduced a cheaper $299 line in mid-2026 for anyone who wants the AI/camera features without the display.
Available at Best Buy, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and Ray-Ban stores.
The RingConn Gen 3 smart ring tracks your sleep, heart rate, and activity without needing to charge a bulky smartwatch every night.
Smart rings have become a genuine alternative to smartwatches for health tracking in 2026 — no screen to manage, days of battery life, and unobtrusive enough to wear to sleep. The RingConn Gen 3 adds tactile vibration feedback, so it can quietly buzz as an alarm or health alert instead of relying on a phone notification.
Available directly from RingConn and major retailers.
The Roborock Qrevo CurvX is one of 2026’s flagship robot vacuums, combining strong suction with a slim profile that fits under more furniture than older bulky models.
Robot vacuums have kept improving fast: hot-water mopping docks are now common even outside the top tier, and obstacle avoidance can recognize well over a hundred household object types, so it’s far less likely to get stuck on cables or pet toys. If a full flagship is more than you need, the eufy X10 Pro Omni offers self-emptying and self-washing mopping for well under $500.
Available from Roborock and major retailers.
