Bringing together the creators of the most innovative appliances and smart-home devices, Digital Trends has selected 12 winners of its inaugural Home Awards from 39 nominees! With a focus on design, value and simplicity of use; the competition yielded a diverse winning lineup ranging from innovative startups to prestigious companies like General Electric and LG.
After in-depth analysis of product features, device comparisons and functionality tests; Digital Trends editors and experts were able to vote on the top nominees in six categories: Most Luxurious, Strongest Value, Best Design, Most Innovative, Best Platform and Best Interface. This evaluation was made possible by Digital Trends’ Portland test kitchen and product lab.
