There are almost 250 products here, which we've decided make the ranks of the SmartHouse "Best of the Best". We've organised them according to categories, such as Appliances, Vision, Sound etc.

Each award has up to three winners, and one overall category winner. You'll notice we don't call our 2nd and 3rd place award winners 2nd or 3rd place, instead we give them the Highly Commended or Well Worth Buying award. The reason for this is each of the award winners are excellent in their own right, and in some instances, they might be more appropriate for your needs than the winner.

So take a look around, test out some of the gear for yourself and enjoy!
