The eleven air purifiers in this piece appear in no particular order, and nothing should be read into where any of them falls, because we have not ranked them and the sequence is deliberately random.

KEF has announced the LS LUXE, a luxury wireless speaker developed in partnership with the designer Ross Lovegrove, and it arrives carrying both a distinctive sculptural form and a set of new technologies the brand is introducing with it.

British audio brand Q Acoustics has added a new floorstanding speaker to its award-winning 3000c range, the 3040c, aimed at listeners who want to step up from a bookshelf speaker without surrendering floor space or the look of a room.

Most smart locks are designed around a single door type, typically a standard wooden front door with a mortise or deadbolt.

At-home slushie machines have become a genuine kitchen appliance category over the past two years, largely on the back of the Ninja Slushi, which sells at £299.99.
