The HomeCleanse Guardian won a post in Forbes Vetted’s coveted “Smart Home Awards," marking it a standout healthy home product for this year.

“Today’s marketplace is crowded with smart gadgets touting their ability to supercharge a home, but there’s always the question of whether an item can truly improve the way your living space functions—or if it works at all.

For our inaugural Forbes Vetted Smart Home Awards, we tasked our team of editors to find the very best smart home products that are easy to operate, well designed and highly intuitive. Our process was extensive: Over the course of seven months, we conducted thorough research across seven categories—kitchen and appliances, cleaning, home entertainment, home office, sleep and wellness, home security, and outdoor and garage—and consulted with 11 knowledgeable experts in these fields to narrow down hundreds of worthy entries. Then we put the top contenders to the test in our own living rooms, workspaces and backyards to see what lived up to the hype.

The following 50 winners emerged, all standout appliances and gadgets that solve daily problems seamlessly and quietly, working steadily behind the scenes to save you precious time and effort. From a thermostat that also tracks your air quality to a refrigerator that alerts you when food items are about to expire to a steam closet that refreshes your work wardrobe with the press of a button, each item improves productivity, with the goal of helping you build a smarter, safer, and ultimately, more efficient home.”
