We’re taking a look back at our favorite memories of the past year. Check out all of our lists here!

For any of you who know me, you know I’m a huge tech nerd. As we wrap up 2019 I wanted to share some of my favorite tech devices that have made my life easier. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about my experiences with any of the products listed feel free to shoot me an email Kevin@WMMR.com. Enjoy!  -Kevin “Lockdown” Reardon

• Apple AirPod Pro

  Share

  These headphones are awesome! The new AirPod pros from Apple are smaller than the originals and make listening to MMR so much better. I love that they have a “fit test” that tell you if they have a proper seal in your ear. The headphones charge when they are in their case so you never have dead headphones! Added bonus, the case wirelessly charges. Highly recommend!

• DJI Mavic Pro 2 Drone

  Share

  Although released in 2018 this drone is still one of the best consumer drones on the market. The ease of flying, camera quality and all the features packed inside this drone make for an incredible flying experience. If you’re looking to get into the drone world I would look no further than this guy.

• Amazon Echo Show 5

  Share

  By now we all have some sort of Amazon Alexa product in our home, right? The Echo Show 5 adds a nice 5 inch screen to the experience. Great for viewing your home security system, seeing a YouTube video, viewing a recipe, viewing current and future weather or having a video chat with a friend or family member. I can promise you this will be a nice addition to your home.

• Sleep Number Bed

  Share

  Need I say more? This year I made the jump to sleep number. You’ve heard the Preston and Steve show talk about their sleep number beds and I’m here to confirm the better nights sleep. I love the “responsive air” feature. When enabled the bed will respond to your movement throughout the night to make sure you’re perfectly comfortable and aligned. With the added features of the ability to change the firmness of the mattress and adjust the bed frame the whole sleeping game has changed forever.

• Instant Pot

  Share

  If you’re like me and you decide you want a scrumptious chicken dinner when you get home from work but did zero planning and now your chicken still lyes completely frozen in the freezer, then let me introduce the instant pot. This amazing device will help you cook all types of meals in minutes. Check them out, they’re magical.
• Phillips Hue

  Share

  Smart homes are becoming all the rage nowadays. One of the coolest things you can add to any smart home is color changing light’s. Phillips hue is my go-to in this department. Phillips hue has tons of smart lighting products from standard household light bulbs and strips to their newer outdoor lighting products. Add some beautiful, visual, color effects to your home!

• Dyson V11

  Share

  Dyson has been in the cleaning game forever. This year I decided to see what all the hype was about. I’m glad I did. They offer an amazing line up of vacuums for your home. Their newer cordless series are incredible. The V11 has an insane amount of power behind it and offers attachments to tackle any job. Carpets, hardwoods, high spaces under, under furniture. This vacuum is versatile and handles it all. Just when you through your home was as clean as it can get, Dyson finds more dirt. It’s great for pets too, it handles my Newfies fur like a champ.

• iRobot Roomba

  Share

  While on the topic of cleaning lets look at a product for those of you who despise vacuuming. Roombas have been out for awhile now. They are the household name when it comes to robot vacuums. There new S9 line is amazing and cleans itself! However, it has a steep price tag. But look, you can’t go wrong with any of their vacuums. I personally own the Roomba 960. You set a schedule and the Roomba handles the rest. The 960 draws a map as it goes so it travels around your home easier and it knows where it cleaned. If you hate to vacuum then I highly recommend a Roomba! It also integrates with the Echo show 5 mentioned above. Just say “Alexa, ask Roomba to clean”.

• Apple Watch

  Share

  Nowadays you see everyone wearing wearable tech. One of the top items people wear everyday is the Apple Watch. I love the apple activity tracker. You can see your move, exercise and stand goal along with steps and stairs climbed for the day. It’s nice to have with you to track those workout sessions or late night walks as well. I love my Apple Watch. Add it to your wardrobe!

• Ring Security

  Share

  Last item on my list has to do with protecting your home. You’ve probably seen the Ring Doorbells. Did you know they also offer devices that secure your entire home? Ring offers a ton of products to secure your home. Door and window sensors, motion detectors, cameras, flood and fire detector alarms, panic buttons, keypads, they have it all. Everything is controlled with ease within their app and they also offer super cheap 24 hour monitoring. While working overnights at MMR it’s nice to be able to check in on my home and have peace of mind. If you’re looking to enter the new year safe then check out Ring!
