"From my research the cheaper Tplink and Netgear don't have an isolated management interface, meaning it can be accessed from all vlans."
For Netgear you want a T eg GS724T(P) in the model which implies smart switch (web managed). They do have command line managed ones too ie "managed switch".
For home use, decent L1 and 2 is enough - you don't want to do L3 switching in general, unless your house is at the top of the Mall. So, GS724TPv2 and GS110TPv3 get you a 24 or 8 port PoE+ switch with L1 and L2 covered in a web interface with VLANs etc. The newer interface with the PVID section that shows tags and ports n LAGs at a glance is one of the best, regardless of price or status. For the money those switches are quite hard to beat.
