Wayfair is known as an online marketplace offering a massive collection of appliances and electronic devices, among other products for the home. If you're shopping for home improvements, checking out the retailer's website is an excellent start, as you'll be able to take advantage of discounted prices and special services.

For this roundup, we handpicked 10 high-tech home upgrades you can buy from Wayfair. The list includes a Wi-Fi-powered deadbolt for extra security on your front door, a smart air purifier to help keep you and your family healthy, and a refrigerator with a touchscreen for access to helpful apps.

In addition to their availability on Wayfair, these products have all received a solid average score after at least 100 buyer ratings on the platform. We explain how you and your family members will benefit from these devices, and we consulted feedback from customers and professional reviewers to help ensure that these devices are worth the purchase.

We identified Roborock as one of the robot vacuum brands actually worth trying aside from Roomba, and the Roborock Q10 X5+ is a robot vacuum and mop that has earned an average score of 4.5 stars on Wayfair after almost 500 reviews. The retailer's customers appreciate its LiDAR navigation, which allows it to build a map of your home so that you can create schedules for vacuuming and/or mopping and identify zones to target and to avoid. Shoppers said that it's wonderful to come home to a clean floor after a tiring day at work, thanks to this machine that you can buy for $499.99.

In its review of this Roborock robot vacuum and mop, Just A Dad Approved said that the gadget requires some maintenance, but that it's pretty minimal. The vacuum empties its dust bin into the dock automatically, and you'll only have to replace the dust bag every couple of weeks. You'll also have to wash the water tank filter and refill the tank in the same time frame, and throw the mopping pad into the laundry about once a week, according to Just A Dad Approved. These are all relatively simple compared to the convenience that you'll enjoy from the cleaning capabilities of this device.

If you love trying new flavors of coffee, or if you want granular control over your daily cup of joe, you might want to consider the Keurig K-Supreme for your kitchen. Available on Wayfair for $179.99, this coffee maker features BrewID technology that identifies the coffee pod that you place in it and automatically chooses the recommended settings for the drink. You can then further customize the brew by selecting between five strength, six temperature, and four cup size options, which the retailer's customers expressed appreciation for in their comments. The cup sizes to choose from are six ounces, eight ounces, 10 ounces, and 12 ounces.

Setting up this Keurig coffee maker with its app and your home's Wi-Fi network is easy, according to Wayfair shoppers, and operating it is just as simple, according to Homes & Gardens. That review highlighted that in addition to hot beverages, this Keurig is capable of brewing iced drinks using special coffee pods that the machine also detects. The coffee maker has a water reservoir that you can attach to the back or the side, and with a capacity of 66 ounces, it allows you to make multiple cups before you need to refill it.

The Dyson V15 Detect is a vacuum that can see tiny dust particles with its green laser light, and it can even count them by using its piezo sensor to listen for their vibrations. It's available for $749.99 on Wayfair, where it has secured more than 7,700 reviews and an average score of 4.6 stars. It runs for up to one hour in Eco mode, which is already strong enough to clean most messes, or up to 18 minutes in the powerful Boost mode. TechRadar recommends Auto mode, though, which lasts up to 40 minutes but adjusts the device's performance depending on the floor type and how much dust or dirt needs to be picked up.

Wayfair customers said that using this Dyson vacuum has made cleaning their homes convenient and enjoyable. It quickly transforms into a handheld vacuum by removing its main wand, which allows the device to clean tight spaces, and shoppers said that it doesn't have any trouble picking up pet hair and dirt. TechRadar also noted that it has a replaceable battery pack, so you can buy an extra if you want to be able to clean a large house in one session instead of having to recharge the vacuum midway through.

If you're looking for extra security at your front door, the Schlage Encode Plus Wi-Fi Deadbolt could well be a worthwhile investment at $329 from Wayfair. PCWorld's review of the smart lock highlights its wide compatibility with smart home platforms, including Amazon's Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit, so it will be ready to work within your ecosystem of choice. You won't need to hire a handyman for installation, either, according to the retailer's customers, who have given the gadget an average score of 4.8 stars after nearly 6,800 ratings.

Once paired with the Schlage Home app, you'll be able to remotely control this Schlage smart lock, and you'll be able to create permanent access codes for your family members or temporary ones for visitors, which are among the reasons to buy a smart lock for home security in the first place. The gadget supports Apple's Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, so you can tap your iPhone or Apple Watch to open your door, as noted by PCWorld. The lock also comes with a physical key, which is handy in the event of a power outage or if you're unable to replace the four AA batteries before they lose their charge. The smooth and simple operation compared to other smart locks has impressed Wayfair shoppers, who said that the device has given them peace of mind when they're away from home.

Even small kitchen gadgets can benefit from an upgrade, especially if it will make them easier and safer to use. To replace your old can opener, you can check out the Hamilton Beach SmoothTouch, which is available from Wayfair for $39.95. Serious Eats tagged it as "the best stand-up electric can opener" because in its testing, the gadget handled cans of different sizes and weights with ease, and there's no second-guessing if you're using it right, thanks to its locking mechanism and guidance bar.

One of the most important features of this Hamilton Beach electric can opener, however, is that it opens cans without creating sharp edges, as mentioned by plenty of Wayfair customers. That's because the device cuts along the side of the cans instead of the top, making lids that you can use as covers to reseal them and place them in the fridge. This is part of why this gadget has earned an average score of 4.8 stars after more than 3,000 ratings, alongside its ease of operation: You just pop in the can and press down on the lever at the top.

The Bell + Howell Bionic Floodlight Max, which Wayfair sells for $59.99, is a cool solar-powered gadget that can provide illumination in dark spots around your home. It comes with three LED panels, two of which are adjustable to let you focus the light on a specific spot or spread it across a wider area, and a solar panel at the top that recharges its battery over the course of the day. The floodlight reliably activates when it detects movement through its motion sensor, according to Jeff Reviews4u, and the lights stay on for 30 seconds before shutting down. These features make it an excellent accessory for pathways so that you can see at night, and it's also a security device as it can deter potential intruders lurking in the shadows.

In addition to its bright lights and effective motion sensor, Wayfair shoppers love how easy it is to install the Floodlight Max, allowing you to choose between mounting it to a wall or sticking it to the ground with the included stake. With just a flick of a switch, its motion sensor turns on, and it solar-charges during the day so that it's ready to go when night arrives. Customers also appreciate that they don't have to deal with wires or replaceable batteries. These are reason enough for the device to earn an average score of 4.7 stars after nearly 175 reviews.

If you're a fan of cleaning gadgets that leave your home spotless, an air purifier like the Levoit Vital 200S-P should be on your shopping list. This is particularly true if any of your family members have dust allergies, or if you have pets. Available on Wayfair for $195.98, this device has drawn solid reviews from the retailer's customers, who said that you'll feel a significant improvement in air quality with this device in your home. Overall, the Vital 200S-P has earned an average score of 4.5 stars after almost 200 ratings. Wayfair buyers also said that the machine runs quietly, so it's not going to be a distraction if you place it in your living room or bedroom.

This Levoit air purifier can do one air change per hour for spaces of nearly 1,900 square feet, and it will be even more effective in smaller areas, according to BeatTheBush DIY. The review also showcased the gadget's three-filter system, which includes a pre-filter made of fine mesh for larger particles, a HEPA filter for smaller particles, and activated carbon pellets to reduce odors. BeatTheBush DIY also demonstrated the easy-to-use controls at the top of the device, including the automatic filter option that increases the air filter's fan speed when its sensor detects the need for it and night mode that reduces noise and turns off its lights for undisturbed sleep. You can also activate these features through the VeSync app, where you can check the air quality of your home and create schedules for when the air filter runs.

So that you'll be able to check what's going on inside your home from anywhere, you can equip it with the Ring Indoor Camera (2nd Gen). This $54.99 wired security camera is an affordable home security gadget that has received more than 500 reviews from Wayfair shoppers for an average score of 4.7 stars. You'll be able to view 1080p video with color night vision through the Ring app, and according to Wayfair customers, this has allowed them to keep an eye on their children and pets, and they've also been able to speak with them using the device's two-way audio feature. 

Security.org highlighted in its review of this Ring security camera that setting it up, from plugging it in and pairing it with the Ring app, only takes several minutes. The review also showcased the device's integration with other smart home devices that are powered by Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant. You'll need to sign up for a Ring Protect subscription if you want cloud storage for videos, but Security.org said that plans start at an affordable price of $4.99 per month. This gives you up to 180 days of video playback, as well as person detection alerts on your phone.

Samsung is among the most reliable refrigerator brands available, according to Consumer Reports, partly because of the benefits of the Family Hub. That AI-powered touchscreen is found in the Samsung RS27T5561SR, which you can buy from Wayfair for $2,332. This model is one of the most affordable ones that feature Family Hub technology, making it "the perfect entry point into owning a smart appliance," according to Reviewed. That review also highlighted the Family Hub features of functioning as a control center for other Samsung smart home devices, tracking your fridge's inventory to help you plan your meals and build your grocery lists, and receiving alerts for instances like a malfunctioning component or a door accidentally left open.

Wayfair customers, who have given this Samsung refrigerator an average score of 4.6 stars following more than 700 ratings, said that they appreciate the capabilities of the Family Hub. They've used it for entertainment while preparing food in the kitchen and for managing their schedules, among many other purposes. They also love the fridge's sleek style, as well as its spacious design. This coincides with Reviewed's findings that this model is among the roomiest side-by-side refrigerators in the market at 13.47 cubic feet for the refrigerator compartment, which is 2.55 cubic feet more than the average fridge.

Doing the laundry doesn't have to be a difficult chore, especially since you can buy a smart washing machine like the GE GFW550SSNWW for $1,099 on Wayfair. You'll be able to use the SmartHQ app to control the washer and monitor its status, and the retailer's shoppers said that it's great at cleaning clothes, helping the appliance secure an average score of 4.6 stars after almost 10,600 ratings. The customers also appreciated its relatively quiet operation and large capacity of 4.8 cubic feet, but there's also plenty of positive feedback on its Ultrafresh Vent system. According to Neu Appliance Outlet, this model solves front-load washers' major problem of odor that accumulates over time, as the feature occasionally spins the drum and pulls in fresh air over several hours, eliminating trapped moisture that's often the root of the issue.

Neu Appliance Outlet also mentioned in its review that this GE smart washing machine uses Microban materials for certain components, which helps prevent bacterial growth, which can also cause odor. For extra convenience, the washer offers a reversible door so you can have it swing open in the direction that you want, and what the brand calls Dynamic Balancing Technology that reduces vibrations by automatically fixing the weight distribution of loads.
