The Cheerble Match G1 Smart Feeder Wants to End the Food-Stealing Drama in Multi-Pet Homes

The Cheerble Pet Feeder Match G1 smart cat feeder is aimed at a very specific problem that many pet households know all too well. Feeding time sounds simple until one cat is on a prescription diet, another thinks all bowls are community property, and the dog is lurking like a furry vacuum cleaner. Cheerble’s upcoming feeder promises a calmer routine by using facial recognition instead of collars, chips, or guesswork, and it does so with a strong emphasis on privacy and practicality.

UGREEN NASync iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro Bring Local AI Storage into the Spotlight

UGREEN clearly wants you to rethink what network-attached storage looks like in 2026, and the UGREEN NASync iDX6011 and UGREEN iDX6011 Pro are its argument. Just announced at CES, these new NAS systems are built on the idea that your storage should not just hold files quietly in the background, but actually help you find, understand, and protect them without shipping your personal data to the cloud. That is a tall promise, but the hardware and software choices here suggest UGREEN is taking it seriously.

Luna Band Thinks Your Wrist Deserves Advice, Not Another Pile of Health Stats

The Luna Band is stepping into a crowded wearable space with a slightly contrarian attitude. Instead of throwing more charts, rings, and color-coded scores at your wrist, this new band is designed to talk to you when it actually matters. Built by Luna, a rising health tech company focused on human performance, the Luna Band pairs a slim wearable with a voice-led system called LifeOS. The goal is not to make you decode health data at the end of the day, but to help you make better choices while the day is still happening.

AUKEY MagFusion DeskHive 5X Pro Puts 200W Power and 5-Device Charging on Your Desk With Retractable USB-C Cables and Qi2 25W Wireless

AUKEY is rolling into CES 2026 with a new desktop charging station called the MagFusion DeskHive 5X Pro, and it is aimed squarely at anyone whose desk has turned into a small museum of devices. The pitch is simple: one compact hub that can power up to five things at once, including a magnet-style wireless pad for your phone, plus enough wired wattage to handle a laptop that gets cranky when it is underfed.

UPDATED: AWOL Vision Aetherion Series Brings PixelPerfect 4K Projection to 200″ for Cinematic Living Rooms and Next-Gen Gaming

The new AWOL Vision Aetherion series enters the scene with the Aetherion Max and Aetherion Pro, a pair of ultra short-throw projectors designed to bring 4K clarity into living rooms, home theaters, or gaming dens without demanding a complicated setup or a cavern of space. The keyword here is Aetherion, because this system leans hard into precision, speed, and scale. If you have ever looked at a giant projected image and thought the details seemed a little too impressionistic, the Aetherion lineup aims to fix that problem in a very big way.

Ascentiz H+K Exoskeleton System Steps Into 2026 with Fresh Power, Practical Comfort, and a New Ultra Module

The Ascentiz H+K exoskeleton system debuts at CES 2026 with upgraded hardware, smarter support, and a new high-power hip module, the Ascentiz H Ultra. The people behind the world’s first modular hip and knee exoskeleton clearly want to make powered mobility feel less like science fiction and more like something you would stash in your backpack before heading out for a long hike, a trail run, or even a brutal day zigzagging across a trade show floor.

Narwal Flow 2 Debuts with AI Vision, Unlimited Object Recognition, and Smarter Cleaning for Pets, Babies, and Real Homes

The Narwal Flow 2 is stepping into the robot vacuum world with enough confidence to make you wonder whether your home has been judging you this whole time. Narwal has spent the past few years quietly refining how a robot should see, think, and behave while cleaning your floors, and the Flow 2 feels like the moment everything clicks into place. If you’ve been waiting for a robot that doesn’t just wander around bumping into chair legs like it’s at a middle school dance, this one deserves a closer look.

GoveeLife Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro Provides Quiet, High-Capacity Chewable Ice Without the Kitchen Noise

There is a particular kind of loyalty reserved for nugget ice, the soft, chewable kind that turns an ordinary drink into something worth savoring. The problem is that most at-home machines either make a racket, struggle to keep up, or quietly disappoint over time. The GoveeLife Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro steps into this very specific frustration with a promise that feels personal: fast nugget ice, steady output, and a noise level that will not make you regret installing it ten feet from the couch.

Clicks Communicator and Clicks Power Keyboard Take a Stand Against Distraction and Awkward Typing

Clicks is taking a noticeably different approach to modern tech with two new products that seem far more focused on helping you get things done than on keeping you endlessly entertained. Clicks Communicator is a compact second phone designed for clear communication, quick responses, and fewer distractions, while the new Clicks Power Keyboard tackles one of technology’s most persistent annoyances: awkward typing on smart screens. Together, they suggest a quieter, more intentional way to interact with your devices, whether that means separating work from personal life or simply making everyday tasks feel less cumbersome.

Moto G Power 2026 Arrives with Big Battery Life, a Bright 6.8″ Display, and Tough Everyday Durability

Motorola is bringing the moto g power 2026 to North America with a confidence usually reserved for pricier phones. In the United States, the unlocked model launches January 8 at Best Buy, Amazon, and Motorola’s site for $299.99. Pricing can shift slightly depending on the carrier or channel, but it remains solidly in the sub-$300 range. Once you keep that figure in mind, the phone’s feature set becomes more intriguing, because it seems determined to outperform its cost. The combination of durability, display quality, and battery life makes the moto g power 2026 feel unexpectedly ambitious for its price.

Pitaka Edge Case for Galaxy Z Fold7 Review: The Ultra-Thin MagSafe Case for People Who Hate Cases

There is a very specific type of phone accessory that tends to divide people immediately, and ultra-thin minimalist cases sit squarely in that camp. They’re either viewed as elegant, intentional design choices or dismissed as decorative stickers masquerading as protection. The ultra-slim Pitaka Edge Case for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 lives directly in that tension, and after spending real time with it, this is one of those products that makes more sense in the hand than it ever will on a spec sheet. This case is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that’s exactly why it’s interesting.
