The 5 highest rated gadgets you can find at IKEA

When you shop at IKEA, you can find various furniture and iconic decorative pieces for your household. This includes that you can find several smart devices when shopping at IKEA if you want to start your smart home journey. However, if you're looking for simpler gadgets for your home, there are some helpful items you can add to your kitchen, as well as ones that will brighten up your living room or garden for guests you invite.

We went through the IKEA website and found the top-rated gadgets you can bring into your home. The gadgets were included in this list due to their good reviews and popularity among other IKEA shoppers. These devices do not require installation anywhere and should work right out of the box. These are five of the highest-rated gadgets you can pick up while shopping at IKEA.

If you are looking for a device to add to your outdoor landscape or place on your patio table with your guests, the Bluetooth speaker lamp from the Vappeby section is the right choice. The speaker resembles a small camping lamp, with a simple handle on the top that makes it easy to transport to different locations. You can get it at IKEA in blue or gray for $89.99, including a USB charging cable. You can connect your smartphone or your favorite Bluetooth device directly to the speaker and use the buttons on the base to adjust the sound and music selection.

The Vappeby is made of polycarbonate plastic and is dust and water resistant to protect it from minor external influences. At 10 inches tall and 7 inches wide, it won't take up too much space on any table you place it on while playing your favorite background music from your connected device and providing soft ambient lighting underneath. The light is not strong enough to replace traditional patio or living room lamps, as it is more of a mood lighting controlled via the speaker's base. It's easy to think of it as a modern camping lantern.

For anyone looking to add a helpful appliance to their kitchen, the Tillreda Portable Induction Cooktop may be the addition you've been looking for. At 12.5 inches long and 10.5 inches wide, it's a small appliance that will free up your stove without taking up too much space on your countertop and weighs about 6 pounds. There is a small clip at the top that allows you to hang it when not in use. This cooktop is available for $74.99, which is cheaper than buying a new oven with additional burners.

The Tillreda features a single burner in the center and two buttons that allow you to control the amount of heat produced by the device. The lowest setting brings the burner up to 200 watts, while the highest setting reaches 1,800 watts, which is ideal for cooking pasta. Since the burner is almost 7 inches in diameter, it is better to use smaller pots and use it as an advantage when cooking a larger meal. We recommend that you read up on the advantages and disadvantages of induction hobs before purchasing this item. For example, since it is an induction hob, only certain pans and pots will work on it. You can check if your device is working by placing a magnet under your pots and pans. If they connect, they work. You want to avoid anything that has an aluminum base.

If you're constantly sitting at your desk taking video calls, extra lighting is always helpful. You can grab the ring lamp with phone holder for $39.99 in the Lånespelare section of IKEA. The ring lamp has LED lights that can highlight your facial features with focused light during a video call, brightening your face and reflecting in your eyes due to the structure of the light ring. You can better control the light you reflect on a video call instead of relying on desk lamps in front of the camera.

The Lånespelare comes with a sturdy phone holder, and you can also attach the same lighting to your smartphone. With Ring Lamp you can enhance any videos or pictures you take with your phone. Thanks to the LED lights in the ring lamp, you won't feel the heat from these bulbs even when you're on the phone for a long period of time. This is one of the many advantages of using LED lights over incandescent bulbs, along with longer lifespan. The phone holder and the LED lamp are separated from each other so you can use them in different places, giving you the freedom to decide how you want to use them. The lamp ring has a plug and must be near a power outlet to use.

If you're looking to upgrade your morning coffee, look out for IKEA's Upphetta, a French press coffee maker. For anyone looking to save a little extra money, a French press is one of several great, affordable ways to make incredible coffee at home. For $14.99, it comes in black and off-white and can hold 34 ounces of hot liquid. At 9 inches tall and 4 inches wide, it won't take up much space on your countertop when you need to get ready quickly in the morning or make a cuppa on a busy afternoon.

The sieve piston sits in the middle, which you press down to separate the coffee grounds or tea leaves. After separating the liquid, there is a side handle that allows you to pour your drink into any cup you want. Given the size of the Upphetta, expect to be able to make two to three cups before needing to refill it. You can separate all parts of this device so you can easily keep it clean or throw it in the dishwasher. This French press only separates the coffee grounds or tea leaves from the boiling water; It does not heat water or function as a brewing device.

A simple gadget that you can add anywhere in your home is the Vappeby portable Bluetooth speaker. It's waterproof and compact enough to hang in your bathroom while you shower or relax in the bath. It can withstand moisture and also cannot be submerged in water, which might encourage you to take it with you on camping trips or hang it in your garden. The speaker can be connected to any smartphone or device that supports Bluetooth. You can purchase it for $15.99 and it comes in black, blue, pink, or white. This makes it cheaper than many other Bluetooth speakers if you're on a budget.

The speaker is exceptionally small: about 3 inches tall and wide, 2 inches long, and weighs 7 ounces. The built-in battery should last up to 80 hours when fully charged, assuming you play at 50% volume. There is a small handle on the side of the Vappeby that allows you to hang the speaker and adjust the device's sound output while in use. If you want to increase the sound, there is an option to buy at least two of these speakers and they can be synchronized with each other using a single device. During synchronization, you can play and operate the speakers at the same time.
