Our phones are pretty filthy things. They need cleaned, often. They also need to be charged. The CleanTray Charge ($100) handles both. It uses UV light to kill 99.99% of germs & bacteria in as little as five minutes, while the built-in wireless charger provides the juice. It can also clean other small stuff like earphones, masks, keys, and wallets, and has a built-in aromatherapy diffuser to give your EDC essentials a pleasant scent.

Google has in the past used a multi-prong approach to smart TV, with the Chromecast serving as nothing more than a box accepting streams from other devices, and some sets launching with Android TV built-in. That ends with the Chromecast with Google TV ($50). While it resembles past Chromecast devices, it runs new software dubbed Google TV that aims to consolidate all the various streaming services into a single unified interface with over 30 supported apps. It supports 4K HDR streaming, Google Assistant voice commands and ships with a new nice-looking remote.

The British audio company Keith Monks has been making record cleaning machines since 1969. Their latest effort, the Prodigy ($995), is perfect for home use. It uses a point suction technique and special fluid to clean records, moving a vacuum nozzle across the surface of the record while it spins. As a result, it can clean and dry both sides of an LP in under five minutes, while operating in virtual silence so as to not disrupt anything that's currently spinning on the turntable. The main cabinet, hardware, washing accessories, and cover are made from sustainable bamboo, and interior multi-colored lighting gives it an added boost of visual interest. So would you use this or use the old cleaner with a dust cloth?
