These devices will make life much easier and not be a big blow to your budget.

1. Fitness bracelet

One of the most popular fitness bracelets on AliExpress with over 38,000 orders. And this is not surprising: this inexpensive tracker has a bunch of useful features. The device measures the pulse, counts steps, shows the time, monitors sleep and works autonomously for up to three weeks. The tracker is also not afraid of water at all: you can take a shower or swim in it.

A cool feature of the Mi Band 4 is the large number of interchangeable straps. On the market, you can find leather, steel or textile versions that turn the gadget into a stylish accessory.

2. Portable speaker

Sony SRS ‑ XB12 is not the most famous, but very loud wireless speaker. The fist-sized device delivers powerful bass and reasonably clear mids and highs. The gadget is protected from moisture and can be taken with you to the shower. Operating time on a single charge is about 16 hours. Additionally, a microphone is built into the speaker, so you can answer a call without disconnecting the device from the phone.

On the back of the SRS ‑ XB12 there is a miniUSB charging input and a mini jack. The latter allows you to connect the speaker to a phone or computer via an AUX cable.

In the reviews, the owners of the gadget are surprised how such a small device can produce such good sound.

3. Ring lamp

The ring lamp is useful for taking quality photos or videos for Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok. The device operates in three temperature modes and brightly illuminates the space in front of it. An adjustable phone holder is installed in the center of the lamp, which fits most devices with a width of 5, 2 to 10, 5 cm. The lamp rotates 360 degrees, which allows it to be placed exactly as the user needs.

The diameter of the lamp ring is 32 cm. The maximum height of the retractable stand is 2.1 m. The device is powered by a USB cable.

4. Capsule coffee machine

The capsule coffee machine will appeal to people who want to drink delicious coffee without bothering to prepare it. The device works on Dolce Gusto capsules and will delight the owner with 30 types of flavored drink - for this you just need to insert a suitable capsule into the machine.

The gadget heats up in 40 seconds, so you don't have to wait long for a cup of coffee in the morning. The volume of the water tank is 800 ml, which is enough for 4-5 cups of drink.

The coffee machine weighs only 2 kg and takes up very little space in the kitchen. There are three colors to choose from: black, white and red.

5. Electronic rearview mirror

This technologically advanced mirror will make driving a car safer and more comfortable. The model is equipped with a touch screen and two cameras that shoot video in a resolution of 1,080p. Thanks to this, even in heavy rain, you can see what is happening behind the car. Also, the mirror works as a video recorder and helps to park, displaying the trajectory of the car on the screen.

The advantage of the device is a clear and bright picture both in the dark and in the bright sun. The seller offers a choice of different product configurations: with or without a memory card, with wires of different lengths for connection. In the reviews, motorists note that in other stores similar models are 2-3 times more expensive.

6. Wireless charging

The small disc with the contactless charging function delivers 2A of current and is equipped with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 system. Therefore, the gadget charges the phone almost as quickly as a regular wire. The device itself is powered via the USB Type-C cable that comes with the kit.

The only limitation of the gadget is that it is not compatible with all devices. Make sure your smartphone or fitness bracelet supports contactless charging before ordering.

7. Trimmer

The powerful Braun MGK 3221 trimmer is perfect for trimming hair, removing hair from the nose and grooming your beard. The device is equipped with a battery and works autonomously for about 50 minutes. The set includes six nozzles: from 1 to 21 mm. The body of the gadget is rubberized and protected from water. In the reviews, the owners of the car say that it helps them out on trips.

8. Ice cream maker

One of the most popular ice cream makers on the Beru marketplace - more than 100 positive reviews. The device is equipped with a large 1.5 liter bowl and allows you to prepare sorbet, ice cream or frozen yogurt for the whole family.

The body of the gadget is made entirely of metal and looks stylish. It is intuitively simple to operate the device, it has only two buttons: "Start" and "Timer". A large recipe book is delivered with the ice cream maker.

9. Wireless headphones

A good alternative to expensive Apple Air Pods headphones. Xiaomi Redmi AirDots connect to the smartphone via Bluetooth 5.0 and do not lose the signal, even if you move 10 m away from the gadget. The headphones give out clear sound and work on a single charge for about 4 hours. The model is controlled using touch buttons on the body. To answer a call or change a track, you just need to bring your hand to your ear. In the reviews, the owners note that the headphones are very light and hardly felt in the ears.

10. Electric toothbrush

The advantage of an electric brush over a conventional one is that it effectively cleans plaque even from the gaps between teeth. The Braun model is equipped with a timer that helps you brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes. The device lasts for about a week of regular use.

One electric brush can be used by the whole family - just buy the individual replacement brush heads for this.
