Dreame X50 Ultra Robotic Vacuum and Mop
The Dreame X50 Ultra is a groundbreaking robotic vacuum that introduces a jointed leg mechanism enabling it to climb stairs and clear thresholds up to 6cm high. The legs are combined with DToF LiDAR technology, which maps the environment in real time and also detects obstacles and measures their height.
While its current 6cm clearance is impressive, we envision this technology evolving to achieve full stair-climbing capabilities in the future. This truly will be a game-changer in cleaning for many households (and it's just really cool).
For updates and more information, visit Dreame-Technology.com.

Building on the success of the original BaristaMaker, this next-generation frother features a smaller profile perfect for compact kitchens and portable enough to fit in a car’s cup holder.
The BaristaMaker Air offers a range of beverage options, including six distinct coffee foam variations. During our hands-on experience with the original BaristaMaker, we were impressed by its ability to create high-quality foam and its customizable temperature and milk type settings – features retained and refined in the new BaristaMaker Air.
The DREO BaristaMaker Air Milk Frother is expected to be available in February 2025. For more details, visit DREO.com.
DREO PolyFan 707S
The DREO PolyFan 707S brings a refreshing blend of convenience and intelligence to hat has traditionally been a low-tech product.

With a 110-foot range and 150° horizontal oscillation, it ensures everyone in the room enjoys a cooling breeze, no matter where they are.
DREO didn’t overdo it when adding smarts – the fan still looks like a regular fan, avoiding the overly "techie" redesigns that can feel out of place in home decor. With smart integration via the DREO app, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Siri, as well as a temperature sensor for automatic airflow adjustment, it’s a thoughtful upgrade for modern living spaces.
The DREO PolyFan 707S is expected to be available in February 2025. For more details, visit DREO.com.
ECOVACS DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI Robotic Vacuum and Mop
The DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI introduces one of the world’s first on-robot water-renewal mopping systems, solving a common problem with robotic mops: cleaning floors with dirty water.

Eureka J15 Max Ultra
The Eureka J15 Max Ultra is a game-changer in the world of robotic vacuums, thanks to its industry-first ability to detect and clean up transparent liquids. Using an advanced infrared vision system and an FHD vision sensor, the J15 Max Ultra can identify clear liquids that other vacuums typically miss, allowing it to automatically adjust its cleaning mode for wet messes. This means it can tackle spills like water or clear liquids without leaving residue behind, a feature we haven’t seen in any other robotic vacuum before.
Why does this matter? It’s a feature that could save you time and frustration, especially in households with kids or pets where spills are common. Instead of having to run to the vacuum manually when a liquid is spilled, the J15 Max Ultra detects it, adjusts, and cleans it up, ensuring your floors stay spotless. This innovative liquid detection is paired with powerful suction and a flexible cleaning system that can reach tight corners, making it a highly efficient cleaning tool for busy households.
The Eureka J15 Max Ultra is expected to be available in June 2025 for $1,299. Visit Eureka.com for more information.
Even Realities G1
The G1 Digital Glasses from Even Realities bring a refreshing approach to augmented reality (AR) wearables, offering advanced functionality in a design that looks and feels like regular eyewear. Unlike bulky smart glasses with an overtly techie aesthetic, the G1 prioritizes wearability, featuring lightweight materials, a balanced frame, and a minimalist design that blends seamlessly into daily life. With features like real-time translation, turn-by-turn navigation, and a virtual teleprompter, the G1 delivers practical functionality for busy professionals, digital nomads, and anyone seeking hands-free productivity.
What stood out to us was how the G1 keeps the display unobtrusive. Notifications and digital enhancements aren’t constantly in your field of view – instead, they appear when needed, allowing you to glance up quickly without losing focus on the world around you. This thoughtful balance between digital and physical interactions makes the G1 more practical and less distracting than many other AR glasses on the market.
The Even Realities G1 Digital Glasses are available starting at $599 at EvenRealities.com.
Fraunhofer IIS upHear Personalized Voice Isolation technology
upHear Personalized Voice Isolation solves a challenge we’ve all faced: background noise ruining calls. This AI-powered tool goes beyond typical noise-canceling technology by letting only a pre-selected voice pass through, effectively cutting out everything else. By creating a “fingerprint” of your voice in seconds, it ensures that only you’re heard on a call, even in the noisiest environments like coffee shops or shared office spaces. That means no more struggling to find a quiet corner or asking people to repeat themselves – just clear, focused communication wherever you are.
When we saw upHear in action, we were blown away by how well it worked. It silenced the crinkling of a potato chip bag and even the roar of a hair dryer, leaving only the speaker’s voice crystal clear. It’s the kind of breakthrough that makes you rethink where and how you can take calls, making it ideal for busy professionals or travelers.
upHear Personalized Voice Isolation is part of Fraunhofer IIS's upHear Microphone Processing technology. Pricing and availability will depend on implementation by manufacturers in upcoming products.
Halliday
The Halliday Smart Glasses introduce a novel approach to augmented reality (AR) eyewear, featuring a near-eye display system that uses a tiny projector to create the illusion of a 3.5-inch screen in your line of sight. Unlike most AR glasses that rely on waveguide technology embedded in the lenses, Halliday’s innovative DigiWindow technology places the display in the frame itself. This approach not only avoids common issues like rainbow patterns and light leakage but also makes prescription customization much simpler and less expensive – just take the frames to your local optician.
When we gave it a shot at CES, we loved how seamlessly the display integrates into everyday use. Notifications and digital content are subtly presented in the upper corner of your view, allowing you to stay connected without distraction. Adding to its appeal is the control system: instead of tapping on the glasses, you use a sleek ring with a built-in trackpad for subtle, intuitive interaction.
The Halliday Smart Glasses are available for pre-order now at $369 (regular price $489) on HallidayGlobal.com, with shipping expected by the end of Q1 2025.

Hisense 136MX Micro-LED TV
The Hisense 136” Micro-LED TV represents an exciting leap in display technology, bringing the first consumer-ready Micro-LED TV to market. Micro-LED has been showcased for years as the next generation of displays, but until now, it’s been limited to commercial applications. What makes this technology so exciting is its self-emissive nature – each pixel acts as an independent light source composed of red, green, and blue LEDs. This allows the TV to deliver the same deep, ultimate blacks as OLED TVs, but with greater brightness, durability, and resistance to issues like burn-in.
At 136 inches, this TV is a statement piece, and after seeing the TV in person, we think it absolutely lives up to the hype. With a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and accurate color reproduction, the visuals are nothing short of stunning. The sheer scale and precision of over 24 million microscopic LEDs and 24,000,000 dimming zones provide unparalleled depth and vibrancy across the screen. This is a premium TV for those who want to make a bold statement in their home theater and can afford what will undoubtedly be a high price tag.
Pricing and availability have not been announced. Visit Hisense.com for more information.
Hisense L9Q TriChroma Laser TV
We think the Hisense L9Q TriChroma Laser TV will make you rethink adding a projector to your home theater setup. With its sleek design, bright picture, and fully immersive sound, the L9Q delivers a true cinematic experience in one box. Its TriChroma triple laser light engine achieves 110% of the BT.2020 color space, ensuring stunningly vibrant and accurate colors, while 4,000 lumens of brightness and a native 3000:1 contrast ratio make it viewable in just about any lighting condition.
The L9Q’s incredibly short 0.18 throw ratio means you can place the projector just inches from the wall for a screen size of up to 150 inches. This, combined with its high-end design details like the black walnut accent panel, ensures it fits seamlessly into your living space without dominating the room. We also love that it includes a 6.2.2-channel sound system with Dolby Atmos, eliminating the need for additional speakers while still delivering theater-quality audio.
Pricing and availability will be announced soon. Visit Hisense.com for more information.
Jasco Enbrighten Wi-Fi SelectSmart Plug with Matter

Notably, the Wave Titanium boasts an impressive battery life, extended from 30 to 45 days on a single charge, with a full recharge achievable in just 2.5 hours.

At less than half an inch thick, the W5 blends seamlessly into your living space, looking more like a piece of art than a traditional television. Adding to its elegance is the new Zero Connect Box, which wirelessly transmits video and audio signals to the TV. Unlike previous iterations, this updated version can be tucked away in a cabinet, making it easier to maintain a clean, uncluttered setup while connecting multiple devices.

LG MyView Touch&Move Smart Monitor
The LG MyView Touch&Move is the first smart monitor we've seen that incorporates a touchscreen. Having a touchscreen makes interacting with apps and content so much more intuitive, whether you’re working or streaming. It's also the first smart monitor with 4K resolution, so the 32-inch 4K UHD will deliver sharp, brilliant visuals.
Gamers will appreciate the 144Hz variable refresh rate for smooth gameplay.

LG OLED evo G5
LG raised the bar once again with its OLED evo G5, delivering a brighter image and wider color gamut than ever before.

The G5’s 165Hz refresh rate and enhanced color reproduction ensure stunning visuals for movies, gaming, and more – even in rooms with lots of sunlight.
When we saw the OLED evo G5 in person at CES, it immediately stood out as one of the brightest, most vibrant OLED TVs we’ve seen. OLED TVs have often struggled to compete with LEDs in bright rooms, but this model addresses that challenge head-on. Combined with its razor-thin bezel and Zero Gap Wall-Mounting, the G5 not only performs beautifully but also blends seamlessly into any space, proving that LG remains a leader in OLED technology.

We also appreciate the inclusion of Auracast technology, ensuring future-proof connectivity for syncing multiple speakers, regardless of brand.

Mova X4 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum
The Mova X4 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum introduces a feature we believe will be highly effective for tackling tough messes: hot water spot cleaning. The SpotHeat Spray delivers 176°F (80°C) water to break down caked-on food or sticky sweets with ease. This is a brilliant addition to wet-dry vacuums and makes so much sense for real-world cleaning challenges. We also love the integrated light, which shows exactly where the hot water is being sprayed, making it simple to ensure you're targeting the correct spot.
Beyond the innovative spot cleaning feature, the X4 Pro offers 20,000Pa suction power, a tangle-free brush, and dual-edge cleaning to handle both wet and dry debris. With its 180° lie-flat reach, it easily cleans under furniture and tight spaces. Its self-cleaning and self-drying system ensures the vacuum stays hygienic and ready for use. Combined with a lift-free docking station and smart dirt detection, the X4 Pro is built to make cleaning easier and more effective.
The Mova X4 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum will be available in April 2025. For more information and updates visit Mova.com.

SimpliSafe Outdoor Security Camera Series 2 with Active Guard Outdoor Protection
Home security has taken a leap forward with SimpliSafe’s Active Guard Outdoor Protection service and its most advanced outdoor camera yet, the Outdoor Camera Series 2.

The Soocas NEOS II is a game-changer for oral hygiene, combining the functionality of an electric toothbrush and water flosser into a single, compact device. What we love most about the NEOS II is its practicality.

And if convenience encourages people to floss more, that's a very good thing
After using it ourselves, we found the waterjets highly effective at cleaning between teeth, with a short learning curve. At just 225g, with a 30-day battery life and magnetic charging, it’s a convenient and portable solution for maintaining healthy gums and a brighter smile.
