The small screen is good in certain aspects, while the Echo Show 10 is better in others. It depends on what you're looking for, but those two styles could work for anyone. Purchase it here.

Kasa constantly makes some good stuff. This one, in particular, is good because this is one of the less expensive outdoor smart power adapters. So that's pretty cool. Get your Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug here.

JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass

Google Chromecast

It's a great deal for a Google home. If you have everything linked and saved in Google, then this product will make your home's management so much easier and simple! Purchase yours here.

Other products are more worthy than this one. You can replace it easily with the Audio-Technica AT-LPW40WN if you're looking for quality or with the Crosley if you're into the retro feel. See it here.

Sonos Roam Bluetooth Speaker

Other speakers like the Altec Lansing LifeJacket XL Jolt and the Altec Lansing GVA2 Live are a more solid option than Sonos. Learn more here.
