Reviewed Awards at CES 2025: The best products to launch the year
Our favorite new products from the world's biggest tech show
Products are chosen independently by our editors. Purchases made through our links may earn us a commission.
Another year, another trip to Las Vegas for the annual CES tradeshow, and along with it, Reviewed’s endless march through the halls of LVCC and the Venetian to vet the thousands of consumer products launching in 2025 and eager for their moment in the spotlight.
We have scoped out the whole show, checking out products in categories like smart home, electronics, and lifestyle, and while we haven’t loved everything we’ve seen, we have loved a bunch of them! In fact, 50 products singled themselves out as particularly noteworthy during CES 2025.
These winners of the Reviewed Awards at CES 2025 stand out for their excellence in innovation, core technology, design, and/or value. We congratulate all the brands and look forward to testing and evaluating these products in the coming year.
Home theater
TCL QM6K TV
The QM6K was TCL’s only TV announcement at CES, but it does not disappoint. The Mini LED debuts a new system called the Halo Control Technology Suite. Thanks to a redesigned LED lens and other improvements, you can expect faster, brighter picture quality with little to no halos, trailing, or ghostly artifacts. As if that tech itself wasn’t exciting enough, TCL sweetened the pot by announcing that the TV was immediately ready for pre-orders, starting at just $749.
Available immediately for pre-order.
Hisense 136MX MicroLED TV
A colossus to behold, this 136-inch TV is Hisense’s first consumer-ready MicroLED TV. That’s a technology that allows for the dazzling brights of an LED TV combined with the absolute blacks of an OLED. While Hisense has not announced pricing, expect to pay up for the privilege if you want to own this level of performance. Samsung’s competing MicroLED starts at $109,000.
Available later in 2025.
LG M5 OLED TV
LG has delivered stunning OLED TVs year after year. The LG M5 builds on that legacy with “true wireless” performance. Last year’s M4 cut the cord and allowed the Zero Connect wireless box to transmit video and audio from across the room. The M5’s wireless capability improves on every measure of picture quality and signal distance. To boot, the TV is packed with a top-tier processor and tons of new AI features.
Available later in 2025.
Samsung S95F OLED
Last year’s Samsung S95D was a hit with reviewers, combining the best parts of OLED, quantum dot, and anti-glare glass. The S95F, crown jewel of the 2025 TV line-up, takes it a step further with higher brightness and a 165Hz refresh.
Available later in 2025.
Hisense 116UX TriChroma LED TV
Hisense surprised the TV nerds (like us) at CES when they unveiled a new backlighting system called RGB Local Dimming Technology, and the massive 116-inch 116UX TriChroma LED TV will be their first model to utilize it. The TV promises bright whites, exceptional color accuracy, and a reduction in blooming and other artifacts, thanks to the pixels’ fast response time.
Available later in 2025.
Valerion VisionMaster Max 4K projector
With more than $10 million raised on Kickstarter, the Valerion VisionMaster Max was the most funded project of 2024 and set a new record as the highest-funded projector.
With a 15000:1 contrast ratio and Dynamic Tone Mapping, rich colors are preserved and automatically adjusted for more vibrant and realistic visuals. With support for Airplay 2, Chromecast, and more, the VisionMaster Max offers an unmatched experience for watching movies or gaming. The triple laser light source can project sizes from 40 inches to 300 inches, providing versatility for any use.
At just $3,999, the VisionMaster Max is priced comparably to other high-end projectors, but packed with additional Smart TV features and Dolby Atmos audio.
Available in May 2025.
Laptops and computing
Level up your gaming experience with the powerful and stylish Lenovo Legion laptop.
Lenovo Legion 7i 16 Gen 10
If you are a gamer who wants a laptop you can take on the go, the Lenovo Legion 7i 16 Gen 10 is an excellent option. It's not quite as expensive as some other gaming laptops, but it still boasts a huge 16-inch OLED screen with a 240Hz refresh rate, an Intel Ultra 9 HX processor, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card. That's all for a very reasonable price, at least compared to other gaming laptops with high-end NVIDIA GPUs.
Available in June 2025.
Alienware Area-51 Gaming Desktop
The Alienware Area-51 is back in both a laptop and a desktop format, and as you might expect, the Area-51 Gaming Desktop is among the most powerful out there. For this iteration, it gets access up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU. Plus, it offers a sleek and stylish design with accent lighting and a transparent side.
Available in Q1 2025.
Asus ZenBook Duo
Dual-display laptops are catching on, and the Asus ZenBook Duo is arguably the best one yet. The laptop offers two stunning 14-inch 3K OLED displays. Plus, you'll get an Intel Core Ultra 9 265H processor for powerful performance. If you want a little extra screen real estate when you're on the go, the Asus ZenBook Duo could be your best bet.
Available in February 2025.
Dell Pro
Dell completely rebranded its computer lineup for CES 2025, and the Dell Pro sits in the middle of this lineup. Dell Pro machines replace the likes of the XPS series, offering high-end performance and sleek, stylish designs. There is a range of Dell Pro laptops and desktops, and they're all set to be released over the year with Intel Core Ultra or AMD Ryzen chips.
Available in 2025.
Dell Pro Max
Dell Pro Max sits atop this new collection, offering the best performance and highest-end build in Dell's lineup. So far, the line only includes the Dell Pro Max 14 and 16 laptops, and they'll offer the best Intel laptop chips along with discrete NVIDIA graphics cards ranging up to the RTX 2000 series. Basically, if you're a Dell laptop fan, these are the pinnacle.
Available in 2025.
HP EliteBook Ultra G1i
The HP EliteBook Ultra G1i offers an ultra-lightweight design without sacrificing performance. This laptop, in particular, offers a stunning design, but it heavily emphasizes AI as well, powered by Intel Core Ultra 5 and 7 chips. Essentially, HP is targeting the likes of the MacBook Pro in terms of build quality, but with the Windows operating system that PC fans know and love.
Available in spring 2025.
HP Z2 Mini G1a
Mini PCs may finally be at a place where they don't sacrifice performance but take up a little less room on your desk. The HP Z2 Mini G1A is a desktop PC that still offers some of the most powerful components out there, including a Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395, along with up to 128GB of RAM and 4TB of storage.
The lack of discrete graphics cards means the computer isn't necessarily for gamers, but if you want productivity in an incredibly powerful machine that doesn't take up much room, this is the way to go.
Available in spring 2025.
Headphones
Experience premium sound, noise cancellation, and 90-hour battery life.
JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition
Billed as JLab's “most advanced over-ear headphones yet,” the Epic Lux Lab Edition boasts a long list of features while maintaining a wallet-friendly price of just $199. Spatial audio, adaptive active noise cancellation, 32mm drivers, and an impressive 90-hour battery life top the bill.
It doesn’t hurt that they look nice and feel comfortable, too. Features like these can cost twice the price with some competitors, so expect these will show up as a “Best Value” on a lot of reviewers’ lists in 2025.
Available for pre-order immediately at jlab.com
OneOdio Studio Max 1 DJ wireless headphones
Co-branded with Italian DJ Arianna Triassi, the OneOdio Studio Max Headphones are a high-quality choice for audiophiles interested in low-latency sound and convenience. Rapid Will+ Ultra Low-Latency 2.0 technology offers a faster connection speed (20ms) compared to traditional Bluetooth, which is great for DJs who need to manipulate audio on the fly.
These headphones have four main modes: Wireless DJ mode with a transmitter, Bluetooth mode, Wired Monitoring mode with a 3.5mm interface, and Wired Monitoring mode with a 6.35mm interface.
Use these for up to 120 hours—the battery is built to last. As a bonus, the first 200 buyers will get a personalized photo autographed by Arianna, herself.
Available in 2025.
Watches and wearables
Garmin’s Instinct 3 series brings rugged design, solar power, and long battery life to your next adventure.
Garmin Instinct 3
With a well-earned reputation for rugged and reliable wearables, Garmin delivers one right down the middle at this CES, and we’re happy to spotlight it. The new Instinct 3 series of smartwatches focuses on practicalities: a built-in flashlight and battery life. The base model, the Instinct 3 E, has an MIP display and starts at $299. You can upgrade that to an AMOLED screen starting at $449. Or for maximum performance time, the Instinct 3 Solar (starting at $399) can have “infinite” battery life, given enough direct sun. It features all this plus shock and water resistance, biometrics, and more. Instinct 3 will be available in a variety of sizes and colors.
Available in January 2025.
Kitchen and cooking
Meet the the first AI-powered kitchen appliance.
Agari Kitchen Smart Cooker
AI is popping up everywhere, and now Agari Kitchen is hoping to bring it to our food. Out of all the small kitchen appliances we’ve seen, this is the first that’s planning on using AI algorithms and a 3-D camera to help calculate the perfect cooking time, so you no longer have to (because we know you’re doing plenty of mental math to work that air fryer).
This pressure cooker features a patented double wall design and is the first pressure cooker to be able to cook under 100°C and then raise its temperature to 300°C to quickly sear your food. What this means is that you get a sous-vide quality cook with a seared finished. Agari thinks this is the best way to cook meats in terms of taste and time, and we're inclined to agree.
Available on Kickstarter in April 2025.
Vycene Lila Composter
The Lila Composter can process everything from meat scraps and egg shells to veggie remnants and coffee grounds—even paper towels if they’re ripped up first. Vycene claims that Lila’s “advanced technology combines natural microbes and aerobic decomposition, no need for any additives like filters, microbes, or substrates.”
With odor-blocking technology, a minimal power draw, and its Category A compost output, the Lila composter could be the easiest solution for home composting yet.
Lila Composter is available now
Spicerr
Anyone who loves cooking savory food can go all in on this brand-new smart gadget called Spicerr, a handheld dispenser that contains up to six spice canisters at a time and learns your personal preferences through intuitive AI.
For example, send a recipe to Spicerr, and it will mete out all the spices you need for the dish, precisely measured. (Don’t worry, you can always freely pour if you want to, too.) Over time, Spicerr learns and builds a flavor profile for each user based on past preferences, say, for example, if you consistently lean toward smoky. The only catch is that you must buy the spice canisters from Spicerr in order to use the dispenser (imagine a system like Keurig and K-pods, kind of), and these come on their own or as part of a themed kit.
Available at Spicerr in February 2025 for $129 (includes 12 spice canisters)
Appliances and cleaning
Your pool’s new best friend handles every surface, so you can kick back with a daiquiri.
Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max
We never thought your swimming pool was the next hot area for smart home products to duke out, but here we are. CES was… swimming… in them.
We’re no stranger to Aiper’s excellent robotic pool cleaners for in-ground pools. In fact, we’ve tested the entry level Scuba S1 model and loved it. However, the brand-new Scuba X1 Pro Max is on another level, and is the first robotic pool cleaner on the market that cleans everything, and we do mean everything—floor, walls, horizontal and vertical waterlines, elevated platforms and slopes, and the water’s surface itself.
This little buddy features 40 sensors that scan the pool and a proprietary mapping technology that pretty much grants full coverage with no bug body floaters left behind. Bring on the daiquiris!
Available mid-February 2025
Beatbot AquaSense 2
Beatbot, a leader in the robotic pool cleaning space, dropped a whole new line-up: AquaSense 2. The base model is a 3-in-1 cleaner (floors, walls, and waterline) with four hours of battery. The AquaSense 2 Pro is a 5-in-1 cleaner (adding surface cleaning and clarification) with up to 11 hours of surface cleaning. The AquaSense 2 Ultra tops the bill with AI-powered mapping, perfect for steps or complex pool shapes.
Innovation doesn’t come cheap ($1,499, $2,499, and $3,450, respectively), but we loved the first-gen AquaSense and we’re excited to see what these can do.
Available February 10, 2025
Dreame Z1 Pro Robotic Pool Cleaner
Over the last few years, we’ve tested out a few Dreame robot vacuums, but never one for the pool. This new model is impressive with its super-powered suction and ability to learn the shape of your pool (using infrared, ultrasound, 3-D-structured light technologies) so that it can more effectively clean it.
While it doesn’t have the all-in-one functionality of the Aiper Scuba X1 Pro Max, it does have four modes you can select between for targeted scrubbing of the wall, floor, and waterline.
Available now for pre-order
Hisense Jumbo Side-by-sIde Refrigerator
Refrigerators are like cars: lots of models, lots of flashy features, and functionality you kind of have to wade through to understand. Plus, your purchase is a decade-long investment, so you want to make sure you don’t get a lemon.
That said, are Hisense refrigerators the fanciest and most cutting-edge on the market? Not really, but we don’t think they’re trying to be. At CES 2025, Hisense has unveiled its Jumbo Side-by-side Refrigerator with a smart screen on its right-hand door (which Samsung has been doing Family Hub for years), and ultra-thin foam layers as insulation (similar to an innovation we saw in Whirlpool brands, like Jenn-Air, last year). It also adds fingerprint-resistant stainless steel with an antibacterial liner and advanced LED lighting.
What Hisense absolutely gets is that average consumers often can’t afford more premium models. And offering us all the flash at a very reasonable price is why Hisense wins here.
Available in 2025
Dreo Portable Air Conditioner AC319S
Doesn’t it seem like the more gadgets we add to our homes, the noisier our homes get? Well, you don’t have to worry about disruptive hums and vibrations with Dreo’s brand new portable A/C, but that’s only one of the many reasons we’ll absolutely need this on a sweaty July day in New England.
Its calm presence doesn't diminish its power—something we felt firsthand while standing in front of it at the CES booth. You can barely hear it working. Also, you’ll never have to break your back draining a tank of water, thanks to a pretty snazzy pump system and automatic evaporation.
Available in April 2025
LG Signature Over the Range Microwave
LG Signature’s Over the Range Microwave knows it’s always game time, launching at CES with a stunning 27-inch full HD LCD touchscreen that plays across the micro’s entire door facade. Whether you’re frying steaks on the stove or making popcorn, you won’t have to miss a minute of the action. It also boasts Wi-Fi connectivity, Matter compatibility, and built-in speakers.
If entertainment isn’t your sole concern here (of course it’s not ours!), we think consumers will also love its trio of built-in cameras that can monitor what you’re cooking, and it can pair with its companion induction range to display a visual of what you’ve got baking or roasting in the oven.
Available in 2025
Tenet AI Laundry Robot
This might be our favorite award given during CES 2025 because it literally takes laundry off our hands.
Thanks to some advanced sensor technology developed by Tenet and Yimu Tech, this cute (but certainly hardworking) little robot can recognize a garment’s style, fabric, and color, then analyze it for soil and stains in order to choose the most effective detergent and wash cycle, and lastly, use bionic robot hands hanging inside its drum to hang and air dry the garment that’s just been washed. Yes, please.
Available in 2025
Tineco Floor One S9 Artist Steam
What don’t we love about Tineco’s latest traditional floor washer? We’ve tested previous models in the Floor One series, including the Floor One S7 Pro and the Floor One S3, finding them among the best floor cleaners available.
Debuting at CES 2025, the Floor One S9 Artist Steam levels up, offering 284-degree Fahrenheit steam for sanitization, and self-cleaning functionality after every use, even drying its brush roller to prevent mold growth. Tineco repositioned the S9’s clean water tank to make it easier to use, it lays completely flat on the ground so you can reach far under furniture, and it has an upgraded screen on its handle.
Available in July 2025
Eureka J15 Max Ultra
One fun factor that sets the Eureka J15 Max Ultra apart from its ever-booming competition is that this robot vacuum can see in 3-D to detect transparent spills and small debris piles. Infrared vision and full HD sensors combine and use AI algorithms to detect small differences in reflections and textures, allowing it to see transparent spills like water or same-color spills like coffee on wood floors.
The robot cleans itself after every cycle and even cleans its own base station. The DragonClaw side brush has a V-shaped design to efficiently tackle corners and sideboards that traditional robot vacuums can’t. Rounding out the robust features is the FlexiRazor technology that slices through tangles at a whopping 400 times per minute, making it perfect for pet owners or those with long hair.
Available in June 2025
Tablets
Unleash your creativity with this stunning tablet, perfect for art, work, and play.
NXTPAPER 11 Plus
First introduced in 2021, TCL’s NXTPAPER is a standout technology, offering a soft, matte finish that's easier on the eyes that traditional LCD screens. The TCL NXTPAPER 11 Plus tablet is a pleasantly niche product, with its paper-like display, but under-the-hood specs that make it feel rocket powered compared to a Kindle. With AI-driven personalization, and TÜV-certified blue light reduction, it’s designed for work, play, and everything in between.
From the vivid 11.5-inch 2.2K display to intelligent features like Writing Assist and Smart Translator, this tablet is built for multitasking. With tools to improve text efficiency, streamline navigation, and even provide real-time subtitles, the NXTPAPER 11 Plus might just become your new favorite second or third screen.

Parenting and kids
Capture every moment of fun with the kid-friendly camera in a playful, durable design.
MyFirst Camera 50 (AI)
Kids love the newest tech, but keeping them safe online can be challenging. The MyFirst Camera 50 strikes a balance by offering a fun, creative tool while ensuring a secure environment. With a 20MP rear camera and a 16MP selfie lens, it captures everything from wide landscapes to close-up details. What sets it apart is its AI-powered editing, which intelligently enhances photos and videos with stickers, voice notes, and drawings, turning them into personalized stories.
The integrated myFirst Circle app ensures that parents have full control over what’s shared, and the pin-code protected video diary adds an extra layer of privacy. While the camera’s lightweight design is perfect for small hands, its limited 16GB storage (expandable up to 128GB) may feel restrictive. Nonetheless, the myFirst Camera 50 offers a safe, creative outlet for young photographers.

Beauty and grooming
Take the guesswork out of skincare with L’Oréal’s Cell BioPrint, a high-tech solution that analyzes your skin’s unique needs.
L’Oreal Cell BioPrint
It may surprise you to learn that beauty mega-brand L’Oreal has had a presence at CES for 10 years, and this isn’t the first time a product debut has caught our eye. The Cell BioPrint takes L'Oreal's tech to a new level, though. Skincare products have a high rate of dissatisfaction, according to L’Oreal, as results can often take weeks or months to determine if they’re working for you.
Measuring skin cell samples, the Cell BioPrint is a spectrometer that measures protein biomarkers that indicate your skin’s propensity towards wrinkles, unevenness, barrier function, and other attributes. It will also tell which skincare ingredients your skin will be—and won’t be—receptive toward. Technically more of a B2B product than something consumers will buy, we were nonetheless impressed.
Available in late 2025.
Gaming
Glasses used to be lame, but now they're cool because you can game with them.
XREAL One Pro
The promises of augmented reality gaming have been big, but many of its examples have fallen short. Enter the XREAL One Pro AR glasses, which are making some bold claims. The improved design offers a wider field of view and a brighter virtual screen, offering an immersive gaming experience you’ll actually want to dive into.
The new X1 chip and 120Hz refresh rate are built to deliver smooth, lag-free visuals. Add in Bose audio, and these glasses could take gaming to a whole new level. With a sleek, lightweight frame and an upgraded display system to reduce glare, we’re excited to see if it all comes together when the games begin.
Available March 2025
LG 45GX990A OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor
Changing the game for gamers, the LG 45GX990A OLED Bendable Gaming Monitor is here to redefine your setup. This 45-inch 5K2K OLED screen can smoothly transition from flat to a 900R curve in seconds, providing ultimate flexibility for an immersive experience. With an incredibly fast response time of just 0.03 ms and customizable aspect ratios, you can easily adjust your viewing mode to accommodate everything from first-person shooters (FPS) to role-playing games (RPGs).
The bendable design not only looks impressive but also ensures a perfectly tailored view for every gaming session. With stunning OLED colors, deep blacks, and a near-seamless design, this monitor takes your visual experience to the next level. Whether you're engaged in a high-speed race or diving deep into an RPG, the 45GX990A delivers a level of immersion that might make you forget you're even looking at a screen.
Available in January 2025
Lenovo Legion Go S
Handheld gaming has come a long way from pixels and dots, but the Lenovo Legion Go S takes it to the next level with something no other device can match: full access to your Steam library on the go.
As the world’s first officially licensed handheld powered by SteamOS, it opens up a whole new world of gaming freedom. With an 8-inch WUXGA 16:10 120Hz PureSight touch display, up to 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and AMD Ryzen processors, this device packs a serious punch in a portable form.
Enjoy seamless cloud saves, Remote Play, and full Steam Store access. While the 8-inch screen may feel tight for some, the SteamOS integration makes it a top choice for gamers looking to take their PC games anywhere.

Health and fitness
Upgrade your brushing routine with a unique-shaped brush.
Y-Brush Ultra
Teeth plus tech: Oral healthcare proponents have beating the drum at CES for years now, sometimes for better and and sometimes for worse. Y-brush, a French start-up returning for its fourth CES appearance, has consistently impressed us with finding ways to improve toothbrushing without bogging it down in unnecessary apps.
The new Y-Brush Ultra uses the familiar Y-shaped brush head that is intuitive and faster than traditional methods—just 20 seconds for the speedy mode—but now adds a conventional brush head that can be swapped in if the need arises. The technique requires a small learning curve, but it was easy enough that I was able to brush my teeth on the show floor during a demo.
Starting at $139.99, it’s comparable to most mid-priced electric toothbrushes.

Livall PikaBoost 2 E-bike Conversion Kit
E-bikes are nothing new, and we’ve seen an incredible stock of rides, but this gadget is asking a new question: What if you didn’t have to buy a new bike to make the one in your garage electric?
Following the success of its first generation model from 2022, the Livall PikaBoost 2 e-Bike Conversion Kit snaps onto the back wheel of your bike to supply it with electric power. Now, it offers twice as much power and a far more sleek design. And, unlike many electric bike models, this kit has a replaceable lithium-ion battery when it eventually wears out. Plus, anytime you’d like to go for a trail ride, just remove it and get your exercise in.

Ditch the tangled cables and get this streamlined charging station.
Satechi OnTheGo Wireless Charger
There’s nothing worse than multiple devices having a low battery at the same time. The Satechi OnTheGo Wireless Charger is available with 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 charging capabilities. Qi2 technology allows this device to deliver 15W of power to MagSafe-enabled iPhones and 5W to Airpods at the same time. The 3-in-1 option even allows for Apple Watch fast charging for certain models. The circular design features lightweight vegan leather that is durable but lightweight, and can easily fit into pockets, purses, or nightstands for convenient charging wherever you are.
The tech is hardly ground-breaking, but the thoughtful and attractive design won us over. Prices ranging from $69.99 to $99.99, these are a more affordable and portable option than similar wireless chargers on the market.
Available in Q2 2025
Anker 165W Power Bank
We’ve been on the hunt for the best portable charger for years, and Anker introduces a new contender here at CES. The new 165W is a hefty beast (192 grams) that wears its bulk as a point of pride, packing in 25,000mAh capacity and enough power to charge your laptop, smartphone, and two more devices at once.
Another fun feature is the charger’s built-in, retractable USB-C cables, one of which doubles as a carrying strap. You’ll also have a USB-A port for charging a fourth device, and you can monitor things like remaining power and charging speeds on a TFT color screen. Considering this can charge an iPhone 14 four times over, it could be worth the weight for the right road warrior.

Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro x Sound by JBL
From LED strip lights that have had tweens across the country in a fervor for years, to panel lights and curtain lights, we are big fans of Govee for both the functionality and the aesthetics of their top caliber lighting offerings. We were pleased to catch new 2025 products at CES this year, including the Table Lamp 2 Pro x Sound by JBL collab with the hopping speaker manufacturer.
This portable party light and speaker is compatible with Matter, boasts light and music syncing with 16 different modes, and a battery that will last up to six hours. Plus, it just looks cool.

Wonder Blocks and Petal
Not to pat ourselves on the back or anything, but we were one of the first review sites to pervasively test and review smart bird feeders, and the very first one that we tested, just after we saw it at CES 2023, was Wonder’s Bird Buddy. In the few years since, Wonder has been consistently improving existing products and innovating new ones.
This year is no exception with the debut of Wonder Blocks and Petal. These two products work in sync, with the former being clean-lined, modular planters and creature feeders that you can customize, and the latter being a solar powered, biomorphic camera that looks like a flower petal and stem, which you can insert into the Wonder Blocks or any garden habitat. Together, they provide a unique opportunity to capture bugs, butterflies and other pollinators, and plant lifecycles.

Honeywell Home X2S Smart Thermostat
We’ve seen our fair share of smart thermostats, but nothing quite like this one—its simple design is completely intentional. It features a clear, bright display and push-button controls, practically eliminating the usual learning curve and complex installation usually associated with smart home gadgets.
Despite its user-friendly design, the thermostat brings smart features like voice control compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home. Its own app allows for remote temperature adjustments and energy-saving automation whenever you leave home. You get all of this at a fair price of $79.99—and compatibility with most HVAC systems and internet routers.

Ecovacs Goat A3000 Lidar
The model name of this brand-new Ecovacs lawn care innovation has us questioning just exactly what it means. G.O.A.T., like the NFL’s Tom Brady, the greatest of all time, or perhaps more appropriately, an actual billy goat? We’re betting on both.
As a robot lawn mower, the Goat A3000 is made to devour grass, 3,000 meters of it, with two disc-blade cutters, all while being able to drive inclines and declines with ease. Got a pool or a garden? No worries. Ecovacs tells us that its navigation technology is a triple threat, combining RTK sat-nav, lidar, and cameras on both the mower’s front and back for incredible precision.
Yes, Ecovacs has sold a robot lawn mower in the past, but guarantees that the Goat is completely different. We can’t wait to confirm it!

Litheli Easysurge lawn mower
Nobody likes mowing the lawn, but this could make it less back-breaking and more enjoyable. Instead of a noxious gas mower that you have to pull to start, this electric model offers the best performance yet at its size. It’s lightweight, hardly takes up any space in your garage, and sort of resembles a sports car design (or it’s supposed to, anyway).
Beyond that, it can run up to 100 minutes with the maximum number of batteries. If you want to change the cutting height, you don’t even have to bend down—just adjust the dial as you walk along.
Another reason why we love this? Many years in the future, when this lawn mower is no longer serving you, over 96% of its parts can be recycled.

Lutron Caseta Smart Shades
Just like in movies where a character visits someone’s mansion, and they have curtains controlled by a remote or their voice—that’s a real thing now. And you only need 15 minutes and four screws to install them.
Why smart shades? For one, you’d never have to get off the couch to get the sun out of your eyes—just use your phone or ask Alexa to pull down the curtains for you. They move quietly, and in near-perfect unison. But you can also set schedules. Maybe you’d have them automatically shut at night and open in the morning, or create the perfect mood lighting for your evening TV binges or reading sessions. The universe’s lighting is now within your control.

AiDot Linkind ET8 Smart TV Backlights
TV backlights are a humble device. They’re not very showy or even that common in most homes. But when you see it done well, the impact is immediate. The ET8 Smart TV Backlights from AiDot Linkind sync with your TV’s picture via HDMI 2.1, casting a soft and colorful halo around the TV’s frame that matches the color, luminance, and rhythm of the picture on the screen.
A single strip can accommodate up to a 90-inch TV. AiDot is certainly not the only brand to offer this type of product (Philips Hue and Govee have competing products), but they do it well.

With the Kwikset app, you can control the lock remotely, set up to 250 unique user codes, and manage access from virtually anywhere.

From TVs to air purifiers, LG has a knack for designing products that combine form and function, and the diverse tech brand’s latest smart home offering, the Indoor Garden Floor-standing Lamp, is no different.
Umbrella-like but with sleeker curves and polish, the standing lamp features downward-facing grow lights with five intensity levels, and upward-facing mood lighting to enhance your living quarters. About a third of the way down the floor lamp’s structure, a circular planter boasts enough space for about 20 plants, not to mention a 1.5-gallon concealed water tank. It’s a gorgeous, modern complement to any apartment or home, all while serving up herbs and other edible salad fix-ins.

Petkit Purobot Ultra
Any veterinarian will tell you that cats are usually silent sufferers. To ensure that cat owners get a holistic picture of their feline’s health on a daily basis, Petkit comes to market with its brand-new Purobot Ultra smart litter box. Yes, there is a camera with 180-degree rotation attached to the box opening, and while this may seem invasive and even a little bit weird, it’s actually incredibly valuable because it can identify urinary and bowel problems from the moment they start happening, which are often indicative of bigger health issues and disease.
The Purobot Ultra smart, self-cleaning litter box also weighs the cat, and can differentiate between multiple cats through AI facial recognition. And, for those who hate the gross factor, automatically wraps up waste without you having to touch a thing.
Petkit Purobot Ultra is available now at Amazon

Meet Jennie: the robot pup designed to bring comfort, connection, and companionship to those who need it most
TomBot Jennie
While nothing could ever top the love and attention of a real dog, robot companion Jennie might come close. She was created for anyone who is unable to care for a living, breathing animal—maybe a young child, someone who works long hours, or an elderly person struggling with loneliness or dementia who may find enjoyment and connection with this stuffed-animal-come-to-life.
She makes real puppy sounds, responds to voice commands, and pairs to a smartphone app so you can give them a personalized name. If you get one now and future updates come along, the app allows you to get the latest features. You just may need to help getting it set up and keeping it charged.
