SELF-CARE, BUT SMARTER
YOU’VE EARNED IT. USE THESE DEVICES TO RELAX HARD, SOOTHE ACHES AND TRACK YOUR HEALTH WITH GREATER ACCURACY
Best Electric Toothbrush
Sleek and simple, the Philips One by Sonicare has all the power you want in an electric toothbrush in one small package. Micro vibrations gently clean teeth better than your manual brush, one battery lasts three months and the new rechargeable version gives you 30 days of brushing on a single charge. £29.99, philips.co.uk
Best Body-Hair Trimmer
The V-shaped head on the Panasonic Body Hair Trimmer lets you trim in any nook or cranny without bending yourself into a human pretzel. Use one of the three attachments to easily choose a length setting. £73.46, amazon.co.uk
Best Pressure Cooker
An extreme multitasker, the Sage Fast Slow Pro can slow-cook short ribs in eight hours and quick-cook soup in 10 minutes. A Crockpot crossed with an Instant Pot, it prepares whatever you fancy in the time available. It makes a decent dessert, too.

Icing your knees is so 2021. Strap the Hyperice X on and switch between hot and cold treatments. The process helps improve blood flow and leaves your knees feeling great. £449, available later in 2022
Best Projector
Too tired or anxious for a Friday night at the cinema? Bring the film to you by firing up the LG HU810PW 4K UHD Projector, which beams crisp 4K video to any wall in your house – or outside your house. The best part: the near-instant phone connectivity, which lets you start a home movie or the latest episode of whatever you’re bingeing on the big screen in a matter of seconds. £2,998.99, lg.com/uk
Best Ice Cream Maker
Yes, the Ninja Ice Cream Maker churns smooth, creamy ice cream, but don’t forget its milkshakes, gelatos, sorbets and smoothie bowls. Because you’re adding the ingredients, any flavour is possible. Even coconut milk, pistachio, olive oil and chocolate chip. If that’s what you’re into. £199, ninjakitchen.co.uk
Best Surround Sound
Great surround sound has never before been available in such a small package. The Sonos Beam (Gen 2) weighs 2.8kg but has five amplifiers, four midwoofers and one centre tweeter to deliver enough sound to fill a large room. And it only five minutes to set up. £429, johnlewis.com
