It’s our 50th anniversary, and we’re rolling out the welcome mat to Tech Home at Minnesota’s Mall of America to help celebrate Best Buy’s role of bringing the latest technology to you.

Innovative tech in appliances isn’t just for the “cool factor” to show off to your neighbors – it’s to help make things easier in your daily life. Large or small, new appliances are loaded with features to keep you connected, make things convenient and work the way you want them to.
According to a recent survey by Coldwell Banker Real Estate, nearly half of Americans either own connected home technology or plan to invest in it in 2016. Homebuyers are taking notice.
In the marathon-and-sprint circuit of parenting, technology is the one thing saving my sanity amid a calendar packed with work, school, sports, volunteering, friend time and family time.

Smart appliances are getting smarter, and we’re not just talking washers, dryers and refrigerators. Check out some hot innovations from the recent housewares show in Chicago.
Rising temps lead to rising energy costs. And as temperatures rise, there’s more extreme weather, which affects our employees, customers and the environment.
The Internet of Things is everywhere, and homeowners have access to more connected products, from security to lighting, than ever before.
For Best Buy, CES 2016 isn't just about the latest tech. It's also about finding sustainable solutions for our business and our customers.
Best Buy will be at CES 2016 to meet with tech manufacturers, check out the coolest new products and learn about emerging technology.
Not only do Connected Home products make your life easier and provide peace of mind, they provide additional environmental benefits, turning your smart home into a sustainable one. Automating your home’s temperature, lighting and other appliances reduces wasted energy when you are not home and saves you money in the process. Going one step further, you can monitor and start conserving water when irrigating your lawn.
Smart Thermostats
They save energy and money by not heating or cooling an empty house.
Although the “Connected Home” space can be a little intimidating for those of us who aren’t self-proclaimed tech gurus, these products are designed to simplify your everyday life.
Keeping that in mind, Best Buy has started rolling out Connected Home sections to more than 400 stores across the country so that customers are able to see some of this exciting new technology in action. All of the stores will be completed in time for holiday shopping.
But before you head to your local store to play with the hands-on demos, here’s a heads up on a few of the high-tech products and associated features that can make your life easier and provide peace of mind:
