The Nintendo Switch is a one-of-a-kind gaming system that allows you to play console-quality games wherever you are, whether that be at home on your TV or out in the world using the system’s built-in 5.7-inch screen. The Switch first came out in 2017, and it has countless amazing games that you won’t be able to play on any other console, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and many more.
The great exclusive games, alongside the Switch’s innovative design, make it the most amazing of the current-generation video game consoles. And given the fact that the Switch was only released two years ago, you can rest easy knowing that Nintendo is still going to support the console for at least a few more years before coming out with something new, which isn’t the case with the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.

The Sony WH1000XM3 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones are amazing because they not only sound great; they also come with a suite of unique features that you’ve never seen together in headphones before. These features include touch controls, top-of-the-line active noise cancellation, a built-in microphone, smart volume reduction, and built-in integration with Amazon Alexa. They are also some of the best bass headphones available right now.
Perhaps the best feature of the WH1000XM3, aside from its stellar sound, is its integration with the Sony Headphones app, which gives users access to an audio equalizer that lets them tailor the audio balance to fit their personal preferences. If you like big thumping bass, you can boost the bass. If you think the headphones are too bassy out of the box, you can bring down the bass or boost the other frequency regions.

Fitness buffs have long known that body weight and BMI are not the best metrics for gauging overall health. The folks at RENPHO are aware of this, too, which is why they created the RENPHO Bluetooth Body Fat Scale, which is capable of measuring a wide range of additional characteristics to give users a truly comprehensive view of their body’s structure and health.
Additional measurements you can get with the RENPHO scale include body fat percentage, water percentage, skeletal muscle mass, fat-free body weight, muscle mass, bone mass, protein, basal metabolism, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and body age. If that wasn’t enough, the scale is also Bluetooth-compatible and can sync your information with the RENPHO app as well as third-party fitness apps like FitBit, Apple Health, Google Fit, and Samsung Health.
The RENPHO Bluetooth Body Fat Scale gives you information about your health that would have required a doctor’s visit just a few years ago, which is why it’s included here as one of the best amazing gadgets in 2019.

The Kindle Paperwhite is a phenomenal e-reading device that allows you to hold a near-infinite library of books in the palm of your hand. E-readers are not as novel today as they were when the first Kindle came out in 2007, but Amazon has done a remarkable job of updating their flagship device to stay on the cutting edge.
There’s a lot to love about the Paperwhite: it’s lightweight, well-constructed, has a beautiful 300dpi glare-resistant display, and a battery that lasts for weeks on a single charge. The Paperwhite also has a built-in backlight that facilitates both day and nighttime reading, and the new models are even completely waterproof—perfect for reading poolside or even in the bath.
The Kindle Paperwhite is also amazing for the amount of money it will save you in the long run. Though you do have to pay the upfront cost of the device itself, Kindle books are often 40 or even 50 percent cheaper than their physical counterparts, which can really add up over time.

The ChomChom Roller Pet Hair Remover is a remarkable product that makes competing pet hair removers obsolete. The thing that separates the ChomChom Roller is that it is infinitely reusable. It doesn’t use disposable adhesives that must be refilled, and once you have one, it won’t ever need to be replaced.
Rather than adhesives, the ChomChom Roller uses static electricity to remove and store your pets’ hair within the device. The device can then be opened and emptied directly into the trash. What’s perhaps most impressive about the ChomChom Roller, though, is that many find that it works even better than the adhesive pet hair removers. Once you have one, there’s no going back.
