1THE PERFECT POUR…

...at home? It’s possible with the PerfectDraft. This brand-new device serves bar-quality draft beer in your kitchen, your patio...you get it. Just insert a 202 oz. keg of beer into the countertop-sized unit, which then cools the beverage to your temp of choice. From there you’ll have the equivalent of 18 bottles ready for the pouring. Changing the keg is as simple as putting a new pod into a Keurig, except with PerfectDraft, there’s an LED light that will let you know when you’re running low and ready for a refill. $348 (includes starter keg).

2 Power Up

Depending on the time of year and where you live, a generator surely comes in handy. But the Bluetti EP600 is changing the game. This European-based ESS (Energy Storage System) is a portable power station that can charge or power anything that’s plugged into it, from your iPad to, in the case of a power outage, your fridge. And unlike a whole-house generator, the Bluetti works via renewable energy and solar power, meaning it’s not harming the environment every time you press “on.” It’s portable and can be used in your yard, in the back of your pickup truck or on any type of off-road experience you so desire. About $9,500.

3one Less Chore

Free up your free time or tell your landscaper you’re taking a hiatus—this robot will mow your lawn and then some. The Yarbo Lawn Mower M1 scurries along your yard while cutting the grass with precision. It’s wireless and works by way of algorithms and advanced RTK-GPS positioning technology, which means you can control where and how far your Yarbo goes with the touch of an app. This bad boy can mow up to 2.3 acres of grass on one charge (about two hours), and works on an incline of up to 68 percent. There’s also an attachment that can plow snow. $4,399.

4a Solution For Sleep

Still having trouble falling asleep? The Dodow could be the bedtime solution you need. Place this small round device the size of a coaster next to your bed. It emits a blue light of your preferred brightness onto the ceiling of your bedroom, which should sync up to your breathing. Through either an 8-minute or 20-minute session—the Dodow turns off automatically after each—you’ll turn your body into a hypnotic state and hush off to sleep. $60 or $98 for a two-pack.

5 Full Body Tech

From the folks who brought you the Theragun massage gun comes the Therabody Wave Roller, a techy foam roller to up your workouts. This Smart device has five customizable vibration frequencies and a unique wavey texture, helping to release muscle tension and improve mobility. Connect to the app for personalizable recovery regimens and to customize your pressure levels. Also, the Wave Roller is quiet, so you can bring it to your group fitness class without bothering a soul. $99.

6 Art Conditioning

The AC of the future is the ARTCOOL Gallery AC by LG, which looks like a framed piece of art instead of a not-so-cute HVAC. Thanks to LG’s Dual Inverter Compressor technology, it works like a mini split, cooling your room (and warming it in the winter) without the loud humming you’d get from a window unit. The ARTCOOL can be controlled via an app on your Smartphone, as well as through voice commands on Google Assistant. Price not available at press time.

7 Bike About It

The newest member of the e-bike family is the Trek Domane+ SLR 9. Its chic, carbon frame is narrow and dainty, so the ride feels light and natural. The quiet and discreet motor won’t distract from its graceful spins, and it can take you wherever life does; a jaunt in your neighborhood park or on steep climbs through mountainous terrain. Essentially, this e-bike feels like a traditional road bike but with the bells and whistles of an electric one. Where are you off to next? $12,999.99
