Best Air Fryer
Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer Air Fryer
It only seems right to start off the Kitchen and Garden winners with the award for best air fryer. Air fryers have completely taken over the kitchen and the model that gets this year’s award is the Ninja Foodi Flex Drawer Air Fryer.
This super-sized air fryer has a massive 10.4-litre capacity that can easily be converted from one big drawer to two individual cooking zones. With Ninja’s Dual Zone technology, the Ninja Foodi Flex Drawer Air Fryer can cook two different foods in two ways, including time, temperature and cooking mode.

Takeaway coffees have become increasingly more expensive with the cost of living crisis rearing its ugly head. With this in mind, many people have been investing in their own coffee makers, including the best bean-to-cup coffee machine. This year’s winner is none other than the Sage Barista Touch Impress, a bean-to-cup coffee machine that lets you customise your drinks.
It might look complicated from the outside, but the Sage Barista Touch Impress is the easiest coffee machine to use, and it makes delicious coffee. From lattes and cappuccinos to long blacks and café cremas, the Sage Barista Touch Impress lets you personalise everything, including the bean grind, milk frothing, shots and more.

Best Blender/Mixer
Smeg High Performance Blender
Calling all smoothie lovers, juice drinkers and soup makers: the T3 Award for the best blender goes to the Smeg High Performance Blender. Smeg released a fair few blenders in the past year, including its Personal Blender, but its latest blending device is powerful and versatile to say the least.
In iconic Smeg style, the Smeg High Performance Blender has a retro-inspired design which isn’t just about looks. Its vacuum pump accessory allows you to batch smoothies and keep them fresher for longer. Aside from smoothies, this premium appliance can also make sauces, soups, nut butters and crush ice.

Best Barbecue
Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560 Charcoal Grill & Smoker
Moving into outdoor cooking, the best barbecues from the past year have become bigger, more technical and have focused on electric powering. But this year’s Best Barbecue winner, the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560 Charcoal Grill & Smoker, proves that charcoal is back and it might be the best fuel for grilling.
The Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560 Charcoal Grill & Smoker might be big but it’s surprisingly easy to use. It has computerised temperature control that smokes, sears and grills, and gives that perfectly smoky, charred taste that barbecue enthusiasts love. Find out all the details in our Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560 Charcoal Grill & Smoker review.

Best Barbecue Shortlist: Kamado Joe Konnected Joe, Char-Broil EVOLVE BBQ, Ninja Woodfire Electric BBQ Grill & Smoker
Best Outdoor Cooking Appliance
Gozney Arc
Outdoor cooking isn’t just about barbecuing: the best pizza ovens offer a delicious and authentic way to cook pizzas, and plenty of other foods, too. Our favourite outdoor cooking appliance from the past year has to be the Gozney Arc.
Building off the success and design of its original Dome, the Gozney Arc is stylish, easy-to-use and delivers in taste. With a big cooking space that can fit 16-inch pizzas, the Gozney Arc has all the features you could need for the best cooking results, including a wide mouth, built-in thermometer and digital display. Find out all the details in our Gozney Arc review.

Best Robot Lawn Mower
Segway Navimow iSeries 105E
Staying outside but steering away from cooking, the T3 Award for the best robot lawn mower goes to the Segway Navimow iSeries 105E. While Segway is best known for its two-wheeled self-balancing scooters, its latest robot lawn mower is one of the best we’ve ever tried.
The Segway Navimow iSeries 105E easily cuts and trims your lawn without a perimeter wire, which can be a huge faff for other robot mowers. Its navigation is extensive and impressive, and you can really relax and trust that the Segway Navimow iSeries 105E is doing its job. Find out all the details in our Segway Navimow iSeries 105E review.

Best Small Appliance Brand
ProCook
This year’s T3 Award for the Best Small Appliance Brand goes to ProCook. Within the past year, ProCook has massively expanded its high quality and affordable collections. Aside from its cookware, utensils and other kitchen accessories, ProCook launched its first ever electronics range, including an air fryer, soda makers, slow cookers, toasters, and more. While the ProCook brand is often associated as an alternative to Ninja or Le Creuset, its launches throughout 2023 and 2024 have shown that it's an entire name in and of itself.
Highly Commended: Ninja

Best Large Appliance Brand
Samsung
Samsung is 2024’s T3 Award winner for Best Large Appliance Brand.

Highly Commended: Hisense
Best Large Appliance Brand Shortlist: Smeg, Haier, Miele
