Woox R6113 smart plug with energy meter
With the Woox R6113, you can control your household appliances remotely via the internet, wherever you are. Use your cell phone to remotely turn on a kettle, turn on the lights in the living room, get the air purifier going, or even turn on the water heater. It’s all done with just a few taps in the intuitive Woox Home app. This R6113 is also suitable for energy monitoring: you can see the power consumption of the device connected to this smart plug in real time. You can also track the historical power consumption of the connected device in the history log. Both are displayed in the WOOX Home app.

Mi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L
Love goes through the stomach. Is your father a real kitchen prince, or does he still burn water? It doesn’t matter with the Mi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L, because it is at home in all markets. Ideal for defrosting and baking, this appliance is also a healthy alternative to conventional cooking methods such as frying and pan frying.

An absolute win-win, because you can also enjoy all the healthy snacks!

Huawei Watch GT 3 smartwatch
Just like the other Huawei smartwatches, the Watch GT 3 46mm looks stylish. The clear and sharp 1.43 inch AMOLED touchscreen is incorporated in a stainless steel watch case that offers the necessary sturdiness. Yet this smartwatch is lightweight: without the strap it weighs only 42.6 grams and it is 11 mm thick, which is nice if you also wear it at night. On the right is a rotating crown for scrolling, navigating through apps, zooming and selecting a menu option. The new interface for all options looks “chessboard-like” and you can freely move and zoom the launcher.
With this Watch GT 3, Huawei is definitely targeting sporty users. It supports over 100 workout or training modes that monitor your performance like a ‘personal trainer’. Especially as a (beginning) runner you have come to the right place with this smartwatch because of the many running options such as making a running plan and analyzing your running session. Also nice is the reasonably accurate location, that you can make or receive calls via the microphone and that your health is also tracked via all kinds of sensors and Huawei’s excellent Health app.
Add to that the great price and the impressive battery life of almost 14 days and you have a must-have on your wrist.

Bose Frames Tenor Style
Like the Bose Frames Soprano, they’re designed to look like regular sunglasses, but the Bose Frames Tenor Style is much more than that. Here too, thanks to built-in speakers, you can enjoy astonishingly good sound as we know it from Bose. Instead of your ears being closed off by in- or over-ears, you do get your ambient sounds in without it disturbing when you’re on a bicycle, for example. And it fits well, although this model is only available in one size (waist unique). Your environment also does not notice that you are listening to music. It also has a microphone, so you can also make calls with it. It is also a holiday recommendation that you do not want to miss, but then hope that it is nicely on sale, because the price is half a point deduction.

Sonos Ray sound bar
In terms of soundbars, you could opt for the somewhat compact Sonos Beam and the more expensive and larger Sonos Arc, which we have both also tested, so that the new Sonos Ray soundbar can be compared nicely with this. This tap-shaped soundbar measures 56 by 9.5 by 6.25 cm (lxwxh) and comes in the colors white or black. An extensive Sonos Ray review has already been published; all in all, the Sonos Ray is a soundbar primarily for TV with good quality sound, but with some limited connection options. This is made up for by the attractive price.
