GE Profile Smart Grind and Brew Coffee Maker

A wireless probe that takes the guesswork out of cooking meat — push it in, set the target in the app, and it tells you exactly when to pull the steak or the turkey. The Bluetooth repeater in the charging block stretches the range across the house, and the guided cooks are genuinely good. One probe, so it is a single-roast tool; the multi-probe Pro sets exist if you cook for a crowd.

The do-everything cooker, now app-connected—ten functions including pressure cook, slow cook, sous vide, and yogurt in one 6-quart pot, with the Instant Connect app guiding you step by step and a WhisperQuiet release that drops the alarming hiss. It's the single appliance that replaces a shelf of them. The honest take: the Wi-Fi is more novelty than necessity, and setup adds friction if you just want a pressure cooker.

A roomy 5.8-quart air fryer with twelve presets that handles a weeknight dinner without a second thought, controllable from the VeSync app and through Alexa or Google when your hands are full. The basket is detachable and dishwasher-safe, which is where these live or die. Two caveats: the square footprint eats real counter space, and you'll rarely need the app for everyday cooking.

Restaurant-perfect doneness made foolproof—1,100 watts and an 8-liter-per-minute flow rate heat a big batch fast, a dual-band Wi-Fi connection and two-line touchscreen let you start and monitor from the app, and the clamp fits most pots you already own. It's how you nail a steak edge to edge every time. The learning curve is real: sous vide means vacuum bags and long, patient cook times.
