These Home Products Just Won Big—Here's What Stood Out

Michael Bennett · 2026-10-01

The Trusted Reviews Awards 2026 winners are in, and we’re putting the spotlight on the home products that impressed us most during a year of rigorous testing. From smart security and ovens to robot lawnmowers and floor cleaners, it’s been a huge year for the home section. Robot vacuums have gotten smarter, battery-powered gardening tools prove you don’t need cables, and washer dryers are now cheaper to run. Our team has spent the last year testing everything in depth, with thousands of tests put into our reviews. Below, you’ll find our hand-picked winners—the products that truly stood out. ### Best Coffee Machine: Nespresso Vertuo Up A brilliant new coffee machine, the Nespresso Vertuo Up takes the lever-action, drop-in pod style of its original machines and applies it to the Vertuo range. Slimmer and smaller, it’s ideal for those who want the variety and style that Vertuo delivers and who predominantly drink black coffee. It’s also exceptionally fast, brewing silky smooth coffee in seconds. **Other nominees:** - Ninja Prestige Dualbrew System CFN802UK - KitchenAid Semi Automatic Espresso Machine ### Best Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machine: Ninja AutoBarista Pro A simply brilliant coffee machine for those who want variety at the touch of a button. The Ninja AutoBarista Pro can make espresso, drip coffee, cold brew, a wide range of milk drinks, and more. And with dual hoppers, you can switch beans at any point. Near-perfect coffee and a machine that doesn’t take up much counter space make this a brilliant choice for pretty much every household. **Other nominee:** - Philips Series 5500 LatteGo Bean to Cup Coffee Machine ### Best Air Fryer: Typhur Sync Air Fryer The Typhur Sync Air Fryer stands out for all the right reasons. Its built-in temperature probe ensures meat reaches a safe temperature, while the large top-mounted display is clear and easy to use. The companion app simplifies cooking further, and most importantly, performance is excellent. **Other nominees:** - Instant Pot Vortex Compact 5L Air Fryer - Ninja Crispi Pro ### Best Power Station: EcoFlow Delta 3 Max Plus If you need a lot of power in a relatively portable frame, the EcoFlow Delta 3 Max Plus is for you. It has a 2,048Wh battery (expandable to 10kWh) and a true 3,000W output, so it can power any individual UK appliance—even kettles and heaters. Very efficient in use, this power station can also balance charging costs with its smart app. Whether you’re on the move or need something for home, this is a powerful power station for all jobs. **Other nominees:** - BLUETTI Pioneer Na Portable Power Station (Sodium-ion) - DJI Power 1000 Mini ### Best Hob: Hisense Hi8 Induction Hob 60cm HI6443SRWF Although a hob’s primary job is cooking, you also want it to look good—and the Hisense Hi8 Induction Hob 60cm HI6443SRWF does that with its matte black finish. It stands out for all the right reasons, and this finish is also tougher than traditional glass and easier to clean. When it comes to cooking, the Hisense Hi8 is powerful and flexible, with two bridge zones, smart app control, and intuitive controls. **Other nominee:** - Miele KM 8885-2 FL Diamond&Msense ### Best Cordless Vacuum Cleaner: Shark PowerDetect Speed Clean and Empty Pet Pro The Shark PowerDetect Speed Clean and Empty Pet Pro takes the top spot for cordless vacuums. It impressed us with its powerful suction, smart features, and easy-empty design—perfect for pet owners. > “These winners represent the best of the best in home tech.
