No one likes scum on the surface of their pool, but likewise, no one lists “skimming the pool” as their top chore they enjoy. It’s ok, though — Beatbot has the Sora 70 robot, who would love nothing more than to happily spend the day skimming your pool for you.
The AtomForm Palette 300 may sound like something meant for an art studio, and honestly, that is part of what makes it interesting. For anyone who has spent time waiting on single-color printers and wrestling with materials that refuse to cooperate, a 12-nozzle color 3D printer feels like someone finally decided to rethink how desktop fabrication should work. AtomForm is still a relatively new name in the United States, but with the Palette 300, they appear ready to introduce themselves in a way that commands attention.
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 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.
It’s an unfortunate fact of modern medicine that women’s health has historically been an afterthought. Clinical trials didn’t even consistently include women until the early ’90s, which helps explain why hormone care and reproductive diagnostics still feel uneven today. At the same time, consumer health tech has exploded, often promising insight without delivering much substance. Vivoo is trying to bridge that gap with a pair of products that aim to pull meaningful health data out of places we’ve mostly ignored, using tools designed to fit into everyday routines rather than disrupt them. It’s an ambitious approach, and a notably different…
Having a pool is a great way to stay cool while enjoying the summer, but pools, like pets, require a lot of responsibility, cleaning, and maintenance. You can outsource the work to your kids, or hire a “poolboy,” or you can get everything sparkling and shiny with the smart, powerful, and hands-off Beatbot AquaSense X.
Baseus may not be a household name in the US (yet), but they have a slate of devices to make your tech run smoother, from security cameras to docking stations and portable batteries for all sorts of setups. They’ve got you covered at home and on the go!
If you have to juggle a schedule for more than one person, or just get a handle on what’s going on in your household, you probably have THE CALENDAR. Whether it’s a Google Calendar on your phone, a whiteboard on your fridge, or a bulletin board with your own personal code system, you have something in place to track it all. Cozyla has a better way with their new Calendar+Max concept.
The new Lutron Caséta smart wood blinds are designed for anyone who loves natural light but gets tired of chasing it around the house all day. These blinds promise a more hands-off way to manage sunlight, privacy, and glare while still looking like the kind of real wood window treatments you would expect in a thoughtfully designed home, not a sci-fi movie set.
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.
No one loves lighting your home like Govee does! Whether it’s lights as art, as an accent, or to brighten up the whole room, they have a slate of new devices to distract you from how very, very dark it is in winter.
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.
There are many ways to secure your home yourself. Every company with a camera and an app can sell you a home security system. This is not where GEO-SWARM went with their home security plan. They, apparently, were deeply inspired by the movie Home Alone.

Hip injuries are serious for anyone, but they’re especially dangerous for older adults. Recovery is often slow, complications are common, and a single fall can permanently change someone’s independence. We’ve seen everything from emergency pendants to AI-powered cameras pitched as solutions, but Briggs Health Solutions has taken a very different approach with the Smart Hip Guardian.
One of the hardest things for loved ones as we get older is the in-between times. It’s easier when you know for sure that someone can’t live alone anymore, but when they’re starting to slow down but still want to be independent, it’s a lot tougher to know if you’re making the right decisions. The Cairns Health Luna wants to replace traditional “alert buttons” with a more hands-on AI solution that lets elderly loved ones remain more safely independent!

The WOLFBOX MF200 is an electric compressed air duster that promises to replace those wasteful canned air products we’ve all been buying for years. Retailing for $134.99, it’s definitely more expensive upfront than a $10 can of compressed air, but if you clean electronics, keyboards, or household items regularly, the math works out fast. I’ve been testing it for about three weeks, and it’s become my go-to for any dusting job around the house.
