Remote-controlled Roku devices make it easy to access any streaming service, and Roku's customizable interface doesn't play favorites. The "future-proof" Stick+ is worth the premium over the standard Streaming Stick because of its improved Wi-Fi reception and support for 4K HDR. Buy it at Amazon.
3. The Cuddle Couch ($3,995)
An alternative to the usual home-theater recliner, the Cuddle Couch is built for two — as its built-in cupholders suggest. It can be finished to match your theater's decor and ordered with a foot rest and removable swivel tray. Buy it at Elite Home Theater Seating.

The best home-theater projector you can get is also one of the first reasonably priced 4K-compatible projectors. "An excellent performer, it showed superb contrast with great pop, edging out the Epson HC4000 for overall picture quality." Buy it at Amazon.
5. Wabash Valley Farms Whirley-Pop ($35)
Made for popcorn purists who don't want any fake-butter flavor, this nifty stove-top popcorn popper "gets it right every time." When you turn the crank, a pair of rotating tines whisks the kernels to prevent burning. Buy it at Amazon.
