The Which? top 50 products of the year 2025
We spent thousands of hours in 2025 testing more than 2,000 products. Whittling them down to our favourite 50 isn't easy, but it's a delight to be reminded of some of the standout devices from the year.
These are the 50 that stood out for all the right reasons. Some are the best, some are ingenious, some are cheaper than they’ve any right to be and all are worth celebrating.
Jump to: 50 - 41 | 40 - 31 | 30 - 21 | 20 - 11 | 10 - 2 | Our number one pick
50. DeLonghi Ballerina SETA KBDS3001.BL kettle
Its pirouetting blown-glass shape didn’t get the Seta kettle on this list (although it didn’t hurt).
It’s the precision and attention that’s gone into its ergonomic design and speedy boiling that earns it a place both here and in your kitchen.
DeLonghi Ballerina Seta KBDS3001.BL review.
49. Dreams Hyde & Sleep Deluxe Ice mattress
Too hot, too firm, too easy to sink into – all common complaints about memory foam mattresses that Dreams avoids.
The Ice is impressive in its ability to please most people with a material that typically doesn’t. The Dreams Hyde & Sleep Deluxe Ice mattress is available from dreams.
Dreams Hyde & Sleep Deluxe Ice review.
48. Nuna Bryn high chair
Yes, the plastic tray is a giveaway, but take that off – it’s removable for easy cleaning – scale the seat to grown-up size and it wouldn’t look out of place tucked under a granite breakfast bar. The Nuna Bryn’s spongy-all-over padding would probably be more comfortable than your average kitchen stool, too.
The look is designed to appeal to adult tastes and it’s packed with little touches to make it easier to clean when your baby doesn’t like the taste of whatever you’re feeding them. There are no nooks for food to get trapped in and every part of the chair is easy to wipe clean. Comfort and thoughtful design in an elegant package.
47. Eufy EufyCam S3 Pro outdoor security camera
Complex CCTV used to require trails of wires drilled through brick into bulky consoles, but the advent of simpler-to-fit-and-control wi-fi cameras led to them dotting UK homes faster than spots on a teenager’s chin.
They keep tabs on driveways and front doors, bringing you peace of mind, and we haven’t found any better at the job than the EufyCam S3 Pro.
You get flawless 4K video sharp enough to cut into a documentary (hopefully footage is more Countryfile than Crimewatch), solar panels to keep them running and the expandable local storage means a subscription’s not needed to store recordings.
46. BesafeBeyond + Beyond Base child car seat
What’s better than a car seat your kid can use from toddler to six years old? How about one that earned five stars for safety and doesn’t require an engineering degree to secure?
This ticks all these boxes and more.
Besafe Beyond + Beyond Base review.
45. Stihl MSA 80 CB chainsaw
Not many of us look forward to the chore of cutting back logs and branches. But imagine if you’re armed with a top-notch chainsaw.
Balancing power and portability, this Stihl will cut through wood like a lightsaber through a droid and it’s almost as cool.
44. Eufy Clean X8 PRO robot vacuum cleaner
A second entry for Eufy, whose security camera you remember from number 47. You’re reading this in order, right? We picked the X8 Pro because it showcases a long-awaited shift in the market. You don’t need to think back that far to remember when robot vacs were expensive luxuries trundling around the homes of the rich and famous.
They cost far more than a standard plug-in and-push vacuum, and picked up far less dust. Not any more.
The Pro is a wizard on hard floors, nimbly avoiding most obstacles and picking up just about every bit of dirt after two circuits of our test room. Corners and carpets are still a pitfall, but anyone with wood and laminate should try it. It empties itself, vacuums quietly and even washes your floors excellently.
It’s impressive, unobtrusive and available for a similar price as corded/cordless models. This Eufy will help make robot vacs go mainstream.
43. Goldring GR3 record player
Dense, solid and unassuming, the Goldring GR3 is like a blank canvas waiting for paint. When the vinyl rests on the turntable and the needle takes its 45-degree journey to find the peaks and valleys hidden in the grooves, the record player commands your attention.
The immaculately built unit cossets the room in sensuous sound as lilting treble dances over solid bass every bit as robust as the Goldring itself.
It’s a simple device, with no Bluetooth or USB ports, designed to capture and reproduce the nuance, subtlety and energy of music. Precious few can claim to achieve this better and even fewer can do it for less money.
42. Haier HBW7518CTK fridge freezer
A fridge-freezer sits gently humming, chilling and freezing, but not many do it as well or cheaply in the long run as this one.
Consistent temperatures and long-lasting fresh food is the order of the day from 2025’s joint-best integrated model on test.
41. Drive DeVilbiss Nitro Rollator
It sounds like a Fast and the Furious spinoff, but the Nitro Sprint is very much a stable, secure mobility aid, with no buttons for nitrous to send unsuspecting walkers careening down the pavement like a Subaru Impreza. Not that we could find, anyway.
The name doesn’t scream a brand that understands its target audience, but it’s clear that Drive DeVilbiss has considered its users specific needs with almost every aspect of the rollator.
No assembly is needed, it’s easy to adjust and has a comfy seat, making it one of the best around. The Drive DeVilBiss is available from Relimobility.
Drive DeVilbiss Nitro Rollator review.
40. JBL Bar 300MK2 soundbar
It’s easy to think of soundbars as the answer to a problem created by the brands that make soundbars. And you’d be right. Sort of. LG, Samsung and Sony popularised the flatscreen TV for good reason, but the shrinking chassis meant shrinking speakers and subsequently the sound quality went downhill.
They all make soundbars, too, but don’t worry, this isn’t the beginning of a rambling conspiracy theory because TVs don’t all sound bad any more. Soundbars don’t fix, they enhance. Just like getting a new lens for your camera because you want to take better macro images, they’re something you get because you want more cinematic sound.
If you fall into this camp then we’d put the Bar 300MK2 high on your list. Audio is rich, detailed and precise, particularly for dialogue, and it’s far cheaper than most comparable soundbars.
39. Venicci Upline 2 pram and pushchair
A new parent’s life is complicated enough without a pram that requires an origami course to fold. One hand and a few steps is all you need to take this from upright to boot-ready. The considerate design extends to the tuned suspension, creating a soft and cosy ride.
Venicci Upline 2 pram and pushchair review.
38. Garmin Dash Cam X310
You hope you’ll never need your dash cam, unless you’re running a road rage YouTube account. But, when called on, crystalclear recordings are a must.
The X310 gives you that precision, plus a wide viewing angle, to record the entire incident, and it’s packed with useful extras.
37. Samsung Galaxy S25+ mobile phone
Competition is fiercer in phones than possibly any other product area. Apple and Samsung duke it out year after year. Galaxy vs iPhone, along with a plethora of exceptional Chinese brands releasing wonderful phones nipping at these titans’ heels. Both have held the crown, but this year Samsung sits on the throne.
The S25+ earned the top spot with its searingly bright screen and processing muscle that’s the envy of some laptops. None of this affects the battery, which runs for a staggering 41 hours at maximum brightness. It takes something special to be a top-scorer and the Galaxy S25+ is nothing if not a special phone.
36. Ninja Swirl by Creami icecream maker
In the north of England by the sea, ice cream vendors will have an item you may not be familiar with. The lemon top is soft-serve ice cream (most will know it as Mr Whippy) with a sphere of lemon sorbet popped on top like a glossy, yellow newel. It’s zingy, creamy, refreshing and satisfying. The Ninja Swirl can produce a lemon top. Other ice cream makers can’t.
Its special lemon-top-enabling trick is tandem churners. One working on that soft serve, while the other mixes up a sorbet before bringing them together. The ice cream it makes is delicious. We didn’t find any texture-ruining ice crystals, just delectable, glistening ice cream, or yoghurt, or sorbet or gelato. It’s a wonderful mini ice cream van in your kitchen.
35. George Home GHAMON1251W4G microwave
Is a microwave the most useful box in your kitchen? The fridge might edge it, but the versatility of George’s mid-range wonder surely makes it a close-run thing.
Cooking, defrosting, even air frying, it can cook whatever you chuck in, and cook it well. The George Home GHAMON1251W4G is available direct from Asda.
George Home GHAMON1251W4G review.
34. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024) ebook reader
Our review of the Paperwhite called it the ‘King of the Kindles’ and that couldn’t be more true. It weighs less than a paperback, but can hold thousands of them with its 11.5GB of usable storage, and the bright, backlit screen is perfect for reading in the sun or under the covers.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite review.
33. Siemens WG56B2A3GB washing machine
Milk on your T-shirt? Doesn’t matter. Rust on your jumper? Doesn’t matter. Oil on your jeans? Doesn’t matter because this stellar Siemens will rinse them all away.
It’s comforting knowing that a stain isn’t here to stay because everything we smeared on our test garments was gone after taking a spin in this washer. Add economical energy and water use, and you’ve got an easy entry into the top 50.
32. Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra VS90F40DEK/EU cordless vacuum cleaner
It’s the gold-standard of cordless vacs, with an accessory and feature list almost as long as the telescopic pole connecting the unit with the head.
Crucially, its mountain of extras aren’t for show, as this is the best of the best. With 400W of suction (the most on a cordless stick vac in the world, according to Samsung) the Jet Ultra could probably lift some badly laid lino clean off the floorboards, so crumbs and hair don’t stand a chance.
They’re all collected into the container, which empties itself into a larger receptacle when docked. You’ll need to empty that, but far less frequently.
The eagle-eyed among you will have spotted the most popular initialism of our times – ‘AI’. So what’s it up to? It’s detecting what floor you’ve got and adjusting suction and brush speed accordingly for the best and most efficient clean. It’s the icing on the cake.
Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra VS90F40DEK/EU review.
31. Logik LHP10W25 tumble dryer
This list is as much a celebration of good value as it is top-rated products – and here is a prime example.
Not only is this tumble dryer cheaper to buy than the vast majority of models, it’s also one of the cheapest to run. It provides good heat pump drying for less.
Logik LHP10W25 tumble dryer review.
30. JBL Partybox Encore 2 wireless speaker
You may be thinking this speaker’s a one-trick pony. It’s big, it’s flashy (literally) and it’s called Partybox, but there’s more to it than pounding bass and disco lights.
It’s an accomplished, versatile speaker excelling at punchy, driven pop as well as complex, dynamic classical music. It’s most comfortable in the midst of a crowd of revelers, but JBL has considered everyone’s tastes with the Encore 2 and that’s why it’s made the cut.
29. Belling Farmhouse 110DF range cooker
With seven burners, two ovens and a grill, there’s enough cooking space to run a small restaurant, and its country style doesn’t mean it’s light on modern flair, such as the air fry function and wok burner.
The Farmhouse works wonderfully.
Belling Farmhouse 110DF review.
28. LG 27GX790A-B computer monitor
Heard of Hz? Familiar with FPS? If the answer’s no, then you don’t need a gaming monitor. But for people with high-end PCs at home, this is a must-have.
The OLED Quad HD 480Hz display is gorgeously vibrant and smooth as a melted Galaxy bar.
27. Philips Sonicare 5300 Series electric toothbrush
Getting an NHS dental appointment is like pulling teeth, so get a toothbrush that’s taking amazing care of them at home.
There’s no smartphone connectivity, but the Sonicare obliterates plaque. It’s not flashy, but your smile will be.
Philips Sonicare 5300 Series review.
26. Samsung Galaxy Ring smart ring
At the risk of JRR Tolkien turning in his grave, we’ve got a new ring to rule them all. Samsung’s won’t turn you invisible when you slip it on, but it will accurately track your heart rate, sleep, steps, menstrual cycle and exertion during numerous sports, with nary a hint of Nazgûl.
Fitness trackers and smartwatches aren’t for everyone, especially if you prefer an Audemars Piguet to an Apple Watch, so this offers an unobtrusive way to give you similar levels of activity tracking.
Where other brands struggle with battery life, usability or reliable tracking, the Galaxy Ring is precise, sleek and durable. Its battery lasts nearly a week, so you can take full advantage of the sleep tracking and still make use of it the next day. Plus, there’s no added subscription fees to use its app features.
It’s far and away the best we’ve tested and proves these aren’t a gimmick from brands simply looking for a new avenue to make money.
25. Apple iMAC desktop computer
Evocative designs that bucked the trend of drab plastic boxes in favour of colourful, smooth all-in-one computers packed with cutting-edge components made the iMac desirable, powerful, intuitive and iconic.
The 2025 version harkens back to that famous iMac G3 colour palette and silhouette, with its speaker grill and pastel shades, but beneath the screen it’s every bit a modern machine.
Responsive is an understatement, as this iMac reacts so fast to clicks you’d think it was reading your mind, while the stunning display enriches colour to sumptuous levels like you’re staring at a glistening oil painting. It’s a stellar device that easily deserves its rank here.
24. Samsung QE65S90F TV
A head-turning, jaw-dropping, showstopping 65-inch OLED. Its picture and sound are simply irresistible as every frame is rendered with the sort of precision a master jeweller would be jealous of.
The flawless 4K detail and peerless sound make for a staggering TV.
23. Huawei Band 10 fitness tracker
When we test a product this good and cheap (compared to rivals), we take notice.
The keen display is an engaging delight to look at and see how you’re progressing on your fitness journey, it tracks reliably across numerous sports and doesn’t need charging too often.
22. Simba Hybrid 3-in-1 duvet
Simba’s clever duvet is a crowd-pleaser. It’s hefty, giving it a pleasant, comforting weight, but even our testers who prefer a lighter duvet felt that this was just right.
The 3-in-1 element isn’t bedspread, fort and Halloween costume, the Simba is actually two duvets that can be popped together for a warmer night’s sleep or used separately, depending on the time of year and what you find comfortable.
The even filling distribution makes for consistent temperature, so you shouldn’t wake up drenched in sweat or freezing cold even though you were just right when you drifted off. You can buy the Simba Hybrid 3-in-1 duvet direct from Simba.
21. Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 headphones
With a colourful design as bright and playful as the sound, these are some of the best truly wireless in-ear headphones on the market. T
hey’re a far cry from the Beats By Dre days that prioritised bass over balance. Since Apple’s takeover, Beats have been transformed into sportfocused headphones producing considered, adaptable sound that suits whatever genre you’re into. The Pro 2s showcase this new direction better than ever.
The tiny earpieces produce sound that’sanything but, as everything from rollercoaster trumpet solos to pounding trance has a driving, rousing energy. There’s delicacy here, too, as softer, subtler melodies are treated with care and precision.
Add outstanding noisecancelling and battery life to see you safely through two marathons, and you can see why they’ve earned such a high spot. Standards are high here, with the likes of Bose, JBL and Sennheiser all competing, but Beats is comfortably in the leading pack.
Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 review.
20. Montpellier MINH90 hob
Big, straightforward and consistent, this five-burner hob is a winner. It’s flexibile, too –combine two points into larger heat zones to accommodate large cookware.
Its closest competition at this size costs three times as much.
19. TP-Link Archer BE400 (BE6500) wireless router
We don’t think about our routers enough. As long as the green light is flashing and Netflix isn’t stuttering, then all’s well. But upgrading from your provider’s router is worthwhile.
Too many of these pale in comparison to the Archer on coverage, range and speed, while many don’t support WI-FI 6. So if you’ve got a newer phone, tablet or laptop, then you’re not taking full advantage of what you’re paying for.
The BE400 is better than the majority of third-party routers, too, and with WI-FI 7 support, you’ll be getting the same excellent performance for years to come.
TP-Link Archer BE400 (BE6500) review.
18. Saucony Ride 18 running shoes
Whether you’re about to embark on a couch to 5K or you’ve just signed up for your next half marathon, what goes on your feet can stand between you and success. The level of comfort, support and shock absorption can be the difference between a lifelong love or a short-lived dalliance, a below-average time or shattered personal best.
A pair of Saucony Ride 18 running shoes are the best and most important addition to your burgeoning or well-established passion. Oh, and nipple tape. That’s important, too. The shoes secure your feet in a way that feels snug without getting claustrophobic, so you get breathability and stability.
The thick, spongy soles deftly take the pound out of the pavement, creating a lighter running sensation, like there’s a cloud between you and the ground. Springy soles also create a sense of propulsion, too, helping your form and speed. These Ride 18s also have a wider base, creating a greater sense of stability that gives you the confidence to push for a better time or longer distance.
The fit, support and cushioned bounce of these expertly engineered shoes will help you run in comfort, but more than that they will help you maintain a positive habit one step at a time, and what’s better than that? The Saucony Ride 18 are available direct from Suacony.
17. Apple 11-inch iPad (2025) tablet
No matter the brand name embossed on the bezel, to most, an 11-inch touchscreen display is an iPad, so iconic is Apple’s tablet.
It earned this recognition by starting and innovating the tablet market and this latest model maintains the superbly high standard.
Apple 11-inch iPad (2025) review.
16. Bosch SMI2HTS02G dishwasher
Semi-integrated dishwashers, which blend with your other units but have a visible control panel, are rare, but you don’t need alternatives when this one cleans and dries so brilliantly and costs less than most to run.
It’s cheaper than other semi-integrated models, too.
15. Philips 3000 Series NA342/09 air fryer
It’s one of the best-looking air fryers, but Philips hasn’t neglected the functionality – 16 cooking modes and 12 specific food presets means there’s no guesswork for the items you air fry most.
The only model we’ve found better than this is more than three times the price.
Philips 3000 Series NA342/09 review.
14. Gozney Tread pizza oven
It might look like something Dr Who would point his sonic screwdriver at, but this little machine with a big mouth isn’t a threat to humankind – it’s a pizza oven and a very good one.
The Gozney Tread is the first one we deem truly portable (plenty of rivals claim to be, but wouldn’t be out of place being hoisted in a strongman competition), yet the quality of the final pizza doesn’t suffer at all. The bubbling cheese, glistening pucks of pepperoni and puffed crust dotted with ashy char that’s usually only spotted in pizzerias can now be seen in your back garden.
The only downside is the parade of envious eyes peering over your garden fence.
13. Fairy Platinum Plus Lemon Dishwasher Tablets
These so roundly trounce all their competitors they had to be in the list.
14 percentage points separates these tablets from the next best, an incredible gap that highlights just how tremendous a job they do cleaning your dishes.
Fairy Platinum Plus Lemon Dishwasher Tablets review.
12. Canon Pixma G3590 printer
Just like a cheap razor can mean being stung with pricey replacement blades down the line, cheap printers can require cartridge after cartridge of expensive ink.
There are alternatives and this super-efficient tank printer will typically cost a little over £1 a year in ink. You’ll pay 100 times that in cartridges on some printers.
Because it has cavernous, refillable tanks, you’re not tied to the cartridge model, plus the prints are crisp and it’s quick for an inkjet. Abandon the cartridge and embrace the tank.
11. Asda Extra Special Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc Low Alcohol Wine
Nothing says celebration like popping a cork, it’s practically a reflex to whoop at the sound. The alcohol that comes after isn’t to everyone’s tastes and if you’d like the atmosphere without the booze then this sparkling sauvignon is a stunning combination of quality and value.
Fruity and refreshing with notes of rhubarb to balance the sweetness, it’s got a complexity and flavour that’s reminiscent of Riesling, without the headache that comes the day after. Quite a feat. Buy Asda's Extra Special Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc Low Alcohol Wine direct from Asda.
Asda Extra Special Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc Low Alcohol Wine review.
10. Aldi Magnum Premium Washing Up Liquid
Anything that makes lighter work of washing up is welcome in our kitchen and top 50 list. Suds stick around deep into the wash, dried on food is no problem and it costs a fraction of the big brands. This washing up liquid is available exclusively at Aldi.
Aldi Magnum Premium Washing Up Liquid review.
09. Microsoft Surface Laptop, Copilot+ PC, 13-inch (2025)
A laptop of this quality brings with it a confidence that most tasks, software or content is manageable.
Click and there it is – no waiting, just seamless, smooth operation, with a crisp display, responsive keyboard and impressive speakers, too
Microsoft Surface Laptop, Copilot+ PC, 13-inch (2025) review.
08. RSPB Skylark Binoculars 8x42
Much of what we buy enriches the home. Money on a new record player, ice cream maker or TV could alternatively be spent on a gig ticket, a trip to an art gallery or a night at the theatre, so it’s good to look at things that get us out of the house, too.
A pair of these binoculars hanging off a coat hook or resting on a side table are a tantalising invitation to enjoy the outdoors and see the exciting wildlife on your doorstep in close-up detail.Point any pair of binoculars at a bird or badger – or something you think is a badger and turns out to be a bin bag – and it will appear closer, but the clarity varies enormously.
The Skylarks’ wide-angle lenses bring objects into sharp focus with little effort, so you won’t miss that fleeting view of a rare bird because you were busy adjusting. You could easily pay much more for this sort of quality and they’re an excellent excuse to explore nature. Grab these amazing binoculars straight from the RSPB's store.
RSPB Skylark Binoculars 8x42 review.
07. Shark NZ780UKT vacuum cleaner
Elsewhere in this list, you’ll find a cordless vacuum with AI floor detection alongside a robot one that literally does the job for you, but it’s a corded model that’s in our top 10. Shark’s dustbuster is traditional, but not clunky.
Bulky yet nimble, with a removable unit bedecked with attachments to tackle different obstacles such as stairs and furniture, the NZ780UKT feels lighter than its 6.6kg weight would suggest and can uproot the most embedded debris with ease.
Pet hair is no problem, it doesn’t let any allergens back into the air and the suction is so good that it’s the top-scoring corded vac on the market. All this for less than £200.
06. Beko Pro AeroPerfect BBIE12401AMP built-in oven
Is there a better deal than this? Only one oven scores higher than the AeroPerfect and it costs more than £1,000, which makes this Beko a remarkable bargain.
Its grill is second to none, it heats evenly and quickly, and bakes cakes Mary Berry would be proud of.
Beko Pro AeroPerfect BBIE12401AMP built-in oven review.
05. Google Pixel 9a mobile phone
Google used to get other brands to make its phones, such as Huawei and HTC, but we’re glad it took the reins back because its handsets have been fantastic ever since. The Pixel 9A has a diamond-sharp, richly coloured display, impressive speed and astonishing battery life (28 hours at max brightness, 40 if you dim the display).
The cameras have been overhauled from the older version, too, to great effect. It feels like a high-end phone in every way but price. It’s a phone you won’t need to replace any time soon, either – Google handsets are made to last and have some of the lowest fault rates of any brand, plus seven years of software support from launch.
You can see why it’s in the top 10
04. TCL 55C7K-UK TV
This TV should cost more, and if it had LG or Samsung embossed in little letters below the screen, it probably would. It’s a high-end set in all but price, however where we’ve seen brands cram in everything bar the kitchen sink and still falter when it comes to quality – TCL has done the opposite.
The 55-inch 55C7K makes the most of its high-end features to create striking, accurate and exciting images backed up by warm, crisp audio. This TV is punching so far above its weight it’s like a gnat knocking out Oleksandr Usyk.
Expensive TVs should blow us away, it’s what we expect, but the surprise of a cheaper model showing us top-tier quality is the real thrill.
03. Asda Classic Tomato Ketchup
Knife, fork, spoon, ketchup: your cutlery may vary, but one condiment usually finds its way onto the dining table, and onto chips, burgers and other things it probably shouldn’t. Despite the wealth of brands making ketchup, it’s Heinz that people usually reach for, but you should grab Asda’s. Both score the same, yet the own-label version costs 72% less per 100g. It’s a staggering difference that demonstrates just how much more we pay for familiar brands.
Far from the watery, bland mush people might expect from supermarket sauce, Asda’s is rich with tangy tomato and a well-balanced sweetness that doesn’t taste saccharine or artificial. And it achieves this unctuous flavour with less salt than Heinz, too. All this perfectly demonstrates why we test everyday items, so you can save money without sacrificing pleasure. You can get this ketchup exclusively from Asda.
Asda Classic Tomato Ketchup review.
02. Skoda Elroq (2025-) car
Skoda should hire AC/DC to advertise its electric car. Their moniker has the electric part covered. Change the lyrics to their 1981 hit to ‘For Those About To Elroq (We Salute You)’ and surely you’re onto an award winning ad campaign. Or, maybe this is why we review products rather than market them.
It’s natural to make light of Skoda, because for years the brand’s old-fashioned and drab cars were the butt of many jokes. Skoda’s revitalisation from communist doldrums to a reliable, progressive and classy brand is nothing short of spectacular and the Elroq is its best car.
It’s the brand’s first small electric SUV, but swapping the internal combustion for a rechargeable battery hasn’t dimmed Skoda’s uncanny ability to get exceptional performance for less. Spacious, versatile, comfortable and safe, the Elroq is a tremendous all-rounder that has every other compact SUV beat. You’ll get between 200 and 300 miles, depending on the model, enough to get you from London to York, and this efficiency, plus low emissions, mean it’s an Eco Buy.
It’s cheap to run and cheaper to buy than most of its rivals, but nothing feels cheap about this breathtaking car. We were thunderstruck.
01. Amazfit Bip 6 smartwatch
What’s most impressive about this watch isn’t its heart-rate monitor, which is precise to within 3%. It’s not the battery that lasts for 10 days between charges, nor is it the vibrant and sharp AMOLED display that’s visible in the brightest conditions. It’s not the simple interface that makes it easy to switch watch faces and open apps, and it’s not the extensive exercise tracking or even the built in GPS, the waterproofing or the reassuringly solid build quality. It’s how it makes you question the entire smartwatch market and the perceived worth of what we get from the big players.
Why does the cheapest Apple Watch cost four times as much for practically the same level of quality? The answer is clear. It shouldn’t. There’s a reason why there are as many great value products in the top 10 as there are in the rest of the list – these products are important, vital even. Tech is expensive, appliances are expensive, and food is expensive. So when a product pops up and says, no, actually, you can have these features and this quality for substantiallyless, it demands recognition that we’re delighted to provide.
The Amazfit Bip 6 is a revelation, with five stars for ease of use, screen quality and health tracking, and nothing else below four. It’s our top-scoring Great Value model, costs £209 less than the average smartwatch and sits just six percentage points below the top-scorer overall. With stats like that, its place at the top of this list was never in doubt. It deserves to be seen, worn and championed because the Bip 6 exemplifies the ethos of high quality for less and every brand from every area should take note.
