Smart TV
Our Top Pick:
Sony X800H 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV
Smart TV technology and usability has skyrocketed in the last 10 years. I know because I just upgraded my 10-year old not-so-smart TV with a new one and it was a drastic improvement. I was especially impressed with the usability of the apps, remote control and Google Assistant. I highly recommend upgrading your old Smart TV or going to a Smart TV for the first time.
If you are new to the smart TV market and are wondering how to transition from a cable box to streaming, check out this article from Brock Reed, Chief Executive Officer, Peel Tech. “So You Want to Cut the Cord? Why Does the Cable Box, With Its Circa 1995 Technology, Still Exist?”
TV antenna for HD and 4K TVs
Our Top Pick:
An indoor HDTV antenna is a must-have accessory for cord-cutters. That’s because OTA (over-the-air) broadcasts are available free of charge, while getting local channels through streaming services can be expensive and chews up Internet bandwidth.
Sound Bar
Our Top Pick:
If you find yourself constantly adjusting the volume on your TV, that may be because your TV’s speakers are pointed towards the wall and absorbing all that rich sounds. A sound bar will direct sound forward and around you – not towards the wall. You can increase your TVs sound quality with one Bluetooth speaker that not only works with your TV you can also Enjoy wireless music streaming via Bluetooth from your mobile or tablet.
Laptop
Our Top Pick:
We’ve seen a growing number of our customers switch from their desktop or older laptop to a Chromebook because Chromebooks use a very simple interface and are a much easier system to learn than Windows. This laptop has all the basic features needed for using the internet, sending emails, storing pictures, and other simple functions.
Smart Home Hub + Bluetooth Speaker
Our Top Pick:
Amazon Echo (Alexa + Alexa Together)
We love this device because it adds an incredible amount of convenience to your life. Just ask Alexa to give you the news, turn off your lights, play music, play trivia, give a weather report and more. Even more convenient is the Alexa Together monitoring that allows you to be more independent and allows loved ones to check in on your from their app.
Smart Watch for Health Tracking
Our Top Pick:
We love this device for all the health and wellness tracking capabilities. This is the only watch that has it all – step counter, heart rate monitor, fall detection, blood oxygen monitoring and more!

Our Top Pick:
The Amazon Fire TV Stick allows you to stream from Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Peacock, and more, plus listen to millions of songs on Amazon Music Subscription fees may apply. You may also watch live TV, news, and sports. The Stick also includes Alexa Voice Remote which is super convenient and lets you use your voice to search and launch shows.
Ear Buds
Our Top Pick:
For less than $50, Wyze made the best and cheap wireless earbuds. It supports noise canceling, wireless charging, and its battery life lasts up to 27 hours.
Bluetooth Tracker
Our Top Pick:
If there is any item you find yourself searching for often like your keys or your wallet, stick a Tile to it. You can track any item with the app on your phone or even ask Alexa or Google to find it.
Buying tips this holiday season
Buy early
The supply chain shortage is happening at a time when consumers are expected to purchase the most goods and services than any other time of the year – The Holidays. It’s the most wonderful time of the year and you should plan to buy as early as you can. The electronics and technology industry may be the hardest hit with a chip shortage, backlogs at shipping ports, and understaffing across the industry.
