What's worth it right now
Not every new gadget is a good buy. Here's our honest take for most households and small businesses.
Worth it for most people
- A surge protector or small UPS for your router and computer
- 2-step verification on email, banking and WhatsApp
- Automatic phone and cloud backup
- LED bulbs, and an inverter AC when the old one dies
- Shared documents and video calls for working with others
- A good mesh Wi-Fi system if some rooms have no signal
Think twice before you buy
- Gadgets that need a monthly subscription to work properly
- Cheap no-name cameras and smart plugs that never get updates
- Paying extra for “AI” labels that don't solve a real problem
- Imported electronics with no warranty here at home
- The newest phone, when last year's model does the same job
- Anything sold with “limited time only” pressure
