WELLBOTS RANKING OF TOP 25 SMART
PRODUCTS
2015 EDITION

Welcome to the 2015 Wellbots Ranking of
the Top 25 Smart Products
We call “Smart Product” any connected device that can interact with people, its environment or other devices. Smart Products can
provide useful information to their users and in some cases act using this information. Smart Products can embark modern technologies
– sensors, microprocessors, software – into known devices or be brand new types of products. Examples of Smart Products are
drones, activity trackers, cleaning robots, home automation devices, 3D printers, connected health, audio & video devices.

Methodology

Wellbots is the leading retailer of Smart Products in the US. Our team is reviewing
dozens of new products every day. We have been fortunate to witness and enjoy the
emergence of great products in the recent years. We carefully craft original content for
each product page and pride ourselves in helping our customers find the perfect product
for their needs and tastes. Understanding modern technology can be overwhelming and Wellbots is here to help.

of Smart Products. Our appreciation of the best Smart Products takes into account the
following key criteria: product quality and usefulness, brand awareness, new product
