The OhmConnect Editorial team has compiled a list of our favorite Smart Home and Energy-Efficient products we think are worth snagging on Black Friday this year.
LG 75-inch Smart TV with ThinQ
Why we love it: Most TVs these days are pretty high quality, so you’re not sacrificing much with the budget option here. Additionally, this Smart TV is integrated with ThinQ, which is a really easy interface and user experience Smart TV.
Why we love it: If you are a cinephile or just willing to spend a bit more for the top-of-line picture-wise, don’t look further than this LG 65-inch OLED TV.
Why we love it: Great sound in a small device; we love Sonos products!
Why we love it: If you love action movies or listening to music, we highly recommend this Sonos Sub Mini. Add this on to your speaker set up to reproduce those low rumbling sounds of the explosions in action sequences.
SYMFONISK Picture frame with Wi-Fi speaker, black/smart
Why we love it: This Ikea picture frame is also a speaker. This makes for a seamless speaker blending into your home experience but with all the quality and compatibility of the Sonos system.
*If the frame isn’t your style, we love the look of these bookshelf speakers. They still integrate into a Sonos home theater system while being cheaper than a set of Sonos speakers. They’re not on sale for Black Friday, so we’re giving them an honorable mention.

DeWalt 1/4-inch drive socket set
Why we love it: This is incredibly useful for assembling furniture and a bunch of other common household fixes and tasks. Once you own it, you’ll wonder how you did without it.

KitchenAid Classic 4.5 Quart Mixer
Why we love it: You may have noticed we recommend this a lot, and that’s because it truly is the longest-lasting version of a stand mixer. You can repair it, and it’s super versatile, which is a sustainability win as well!
