These are the 20 best products we’ve tried at CES 2026
CES 2026: The top tech that has wowed us at the huge Las Vegas tech show
The Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, is the start of the tech year. It features a who’s who of the tech world, with everyone showing off their new products that we’ll hopefully review over the next 12 months.
As has been the case for the past decade, the smart home has again been a key theme of CES 2026. We’ve seen a load of brands keen to show off the latest devices, from indoor smart tech to clever appliances and plenty of outdoor gadgetry.
So, let’s get to the winners…here are the 20 products that impressed us the most on the show floor.
Dreame Roboticmower A3 AWD Pro
Hailed as a “24/7 Garden Guardian”, the Roboticmower A3 AWD Pro is not only a mighty lawnmower designed for multi-terrain use, but it also doubles as a security system.
Seriously, the A3 AWD Pro uses its built-in binocular AI vision to provide users with real-time video and human detection alerts in the instance of any unusual activity outside.
Otherwise, the A3 AWD Pro is fitted with 4WD hub motors that enable the lawnmower to climb up to 38.7° hills and overcome 5.5cm obstacles too. Plus its auto-oscillating dual blades result in precise trimming too.
Customers in North America can pre-order the Dreame Roboticmower A3 AWD Pro from February at a starting price of $3099.99.
Linkind SP6 Smart Solar Pathway Light
Smart lighting brand Linkind unveiled the “world’s first smart solar pathway light”, coined the SP6.
The solar-powered pathway lights can be controlled via the companion app and are fitted with dynamic lighting patterns, colour control and brightness adjustment. Plus, naturally as outdoor lights, the SP6 is built with reinforced ABS housing and can withstand heat, cold and wind too.

Sylvox Frameless Pro 75” Outdoor TV
Adding to its already vast collection of outdoor TVs, the Sylvox Frameless Pro is the world’s “first ultra-narrow bezel television” for outdoor use.
Up to 90% thinner than typical outdoor TVs, the 75-inch Frameless Pro not only promises an immersive viewing experience, but it boasts a 4K UHD resolution, anti-glare panels and up to 2000 nits brightness too. That means you can comfortably watch TV in bright sunlight.

Litheli Skope 800 AI-VISION Robotic Lawn Mower
Known for its range of power tools and outdoor gear, Litheli has officially unveiled its first line of robot lawn mowers, which includes the Skope 800 AI-Vision. Built on a multi-camera AI-Vision system, the Skope 800 is designed to provide “low-intervention lawn care” without needing complicated boundary wires or RTK.

At the time of writing, Litheli hasn’t officially revealed when the robot lawn mowers will officially launch, nor how much they’re likely to cost.
GoveeLife Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro
If you’ve ever used an at-home nugget ice maker before, then you’ll know they tend to be needlessly loud and pretty slow. Fortunately, Govee aims to fix this with the Smart Nuggets Ice Maker Pro.

Designed to produce denser, rounder and better textured ice in as little as six minutes, the Ice Maker Pro is also equipped with GoveeLife’s patented AI NoiseGuard technology. This, according to the brand, should “virtually eliminate” loud noises during the process.
Set to launch on January 15th, the GoveeLife Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro will retail at $499.99.
Dreame S1 Water Purifier
The Dreame S1 Water Purifier is so much more than its name might otherwise suggest. Alongside its Nanofilter Ultrafiltration system which removes microplastics, VOCs and other pollutants from water, the S1 can also create slow-melting ice and provide both ice cold and hot water in a matter of seconds.

In fact, the Dreame S1 Water Purifier can dispense water as cold as 3°C or hot water between 45-100°C. You can also select the exact amount of water dispensed via the on-device touchscreen, and save your favourites for easy one-tap selection too.
Govee Ceiling Light Ultra
If you’ve upgraded to smart lighting in your home, then you’ll know the convenience and versatility is unmatched. Govee aims to expand on this by offering the industry’s first ceiling light designed as a “true creative canvas”.

Although it is fitted with a 616-pixel LED matrix for “vivid patterns and animations” and offers dynamic lighting effects powered by AI Lighting Bot 2.0, the Govee Ceiling Light Ultra is designed to provide ample illumination for everyday home life too.
AWOL Vision Aetherion Max
AWOL Vision is expanding its already vast range of projectors with the Aetherion series. Made up of the Aetherion Pro and Aetherion Max, the series promises to showcase AWOL Vision’s most advanced projection technology to date.

The Aetherion Max promises to retain its sharp 4K clarity in up to 200-inch projection, with 3300 ISO lumens and PixelLock technology which ensures every pixel of a 4K image is fused and perfectly positioned. Gamers will also appreciate its auto low latency mode, variable refresh rate and Dolby Vision Gaming that delivers lifelike HDR too.
Available from April 2026, the Aetherion Max will set you back $4499, although early-bird pricing and Kickstarter-only bundles will launch in February 2026.
SwitchBot Lock Vista Series
SwitchBot is making fumbling around for your keys a thing of the past, with the Lock Vista Series. The first deadbolt smart lock to feature 3D facial recognition, the Lock Vista Series acts like FaceID for your front door, and enables millimetre-level biometric accuracy, even if you’re wearing a hat, glasses or make-up.

Not only that, but the Vista Series incorporates a “3D liveness detection” so you don’t need to worry about someone attempting to break in by using a photo or even a video of you.
Alternatively you can opt for the SwitchBot Lock Vista Pro which adds palm-vein recognition as an alternative method to unlocking the door.
Yarbo Trimmer
Although CES 2026 has seen numerous robot lawn mowers showcased, Yarbo has taken things one step further with its Trimmer attachment. The Trimmer attaches to the robot lawn mower and automatically tidies up your lawn edges, boundaries and walkways – even when the lawn mower is on.

You won’t need to worry about faffing around with too much maintenance either, as the Trimmer charges itself and only needs restringing roughly about once a month, or even less if your lawn is small.
The Trimmer is set to launch in March and has an RRP of £739.
Narwal Flow 2
Promised to be the “most advanced robotic mop ever”, the Narwal Flow 2 looks like an exciting upgrade from its predecessor. Plus, with a mighty 30,000Pa suction, it’s a powerful vacuum too that can make light work of even deep-pile carpets too.

The Narwal Flow 2 is fitted with plenty of technologies including AI Vision that promises to catch hidden messes, AI-powered obstacle avoidance and smart cleaning which recognises different types of dirt too.
Beatbot AquaSense X
The Beatbot AquaSense X is an AI-powered robot pool cleaner that makes modern pool care easier and more seamless than ever before. With Beatbot AI 2.0 and HybridSense AI Vision system, the AquaSense X can not only recognise more types of debris than its predecessor, but it now covers both the pool floor and water surface too.
Naturally, as a smart appliance, the AquaSense X robot supports hands-free voice control and can integrate into Google Home, Alexa and Siri too.

Alongside the AquaSense X is the Beatbot AstroRinse Cleaning Station, which is the world’s first fully automatic cleaning system for robot pool cleaners. Simply place the AquaSense X robot onto the Station and let the AstroRinse do the hard work for you.
Both the AquaSense X and AstroRinse Station are available now with an MSRP of €4250.
Reolink OMVI X16 PoE
Reolink’s new security camera line-up, which is headlined by the OMVI X16 PoE, promises to deliver unmatched clarity and full-area coverage, so you can keep an eye on your home whether you are.
What makes the OMVI X16 PoE particularly exciting is the fact that it’s fitted with a triple-lens system. Made up of a dual-lens panoramic camera plus a 180° ultrawide and pan-tilt lens, the device shows more of your home than ever before. That means you don’t need to install multiple cameras to cover the same area, as the OMVI X16 PoE has you sorted.

ANTHBOT N series robot mower
Available in two variants (N8 and N8 LiDAR) the Anthbot N Series promises to make taking care of your lawn easier than ever.
Although obviously a robot lawn mower, the N8 series promises to go beyond just mowing and offer “comprehensive lawn care”. With high-speed blade discs to cut even overgrown and dense grass, a vacuum for grass clippings and AI-powered obstacle detection, the N8 series is designed to suit all types of lawns.

NexLawn VIDAR AWD Series
Although first revealed back at IFA 2025, NexLawn has finally revealed when we can get our hands on the VIDAR AWD Series.
Essentially, the NexLawn VIDAR AWD Series is a range of robot lawn mowers that are designed primarily to tackle multi-zone, larger gardens up to a whopping 3000㎡. Not only that, but the lawn mower can also deal with slopes up to 80% too, making it perfect for difficult terrain too.

Otherwise, the VIDAR AWD Series is fitted with NexDetect technology which offers wire-free, high-precision mapping and detection for over 300 types of obstacles and high-precision mapping too – all without needing boundary wires.
The lineup should start rolling out in Spring 2026, with pricing expected between $1,399 to $3,999.
Onero H1
Easily one of the most exciting, and perhaps terrifying, reveals at CES has to be SwitchBot’s Onero H1 – a robot butler designed for everyday households. SwitchBot explains that Onero H1 will be able to “adapt to a wide range of domestic scenarios”.
Although SwitchBot hasn’t clarified exactly which chores Onero H1 can do, the robot will be able to perform actions such as grasping, pushing, opening and even organising. Plus, the robot can learn, adapt and work in coordination with SwitchBot’s existing ecosystem, making it sound like an impressive team player.

SwitchBot has yet to reveal pricing or market availability for Onero H1, but we’ll be watching closely.
UGREEN NASync iDX Series
If you want to step away from relying on the Cloud for your storage needs, then UGreen has the solution for you. The iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro are additions to UGreen’s NASync line-up, and promise “lightning-fast data transfers, intelligent file management and enterprise-grade security” for your documents.
Although both are powered by Intel Core Ultra, the iDX6011 Pro benefits from expanded computer capabilities and pro-grade GPU acceleration with the OCuLink port which enables “high-bandwidth and low-latency connectivity for external GPUs”.

Pre-orders are available now, ahead of the Kickstarter campaign which will launch in March 2026.
Roborock Saros 20
Although robot vacuums are useful additions to most households, there’s not denying the fact that they can sometimes be frustrating to use. That’s where the Roborock Saros 20 comes in.
With an ultra-thin design for sliding seamlessly under low-lying furniture and an AdaptiLift Chassis which allows the robot to climb 4.5 + 4cm-sized thresholds with ease, you’ll never have to worry about your robot getting stuck during a clean. Plus, the Saros 20 sports clever AI obstacle detection, floor detection and will automatically lift its mop pad to avoid dampening carpets.
Mammotion Spino S1 Pro
Mammotion has unveiled its “most advanced robotic pool cleaner to date” with the Spino S1 Pro.
Once set up, the Spino S1 Pro promises to provide a fully-automated cleaning system and takes care of everything from adaptive cleaning, navigation and recharging. The headline, however, is easily the AutoShoreCharge which is Mammotion’s robotic-arm assisted docking and charging system that automatically lifts the robot into its charging station. That means no more struggling with heavy equipment, as navigating the Spino S1 Pro is a seamless process.
Aqara U400
Designed for effortless home access, the Aqara Smart Lock U400 utilises ultra Wideband technology and high-precision location tracking for hands-free unlocking. While most smart locks rely on Bluetooth, UWB instead uses Time of Flight (ToF) distance measurement and Angle of Arrival (AoA) to track when an approved user is approaching.
This means the U400 will automatically unlock when an authorised user is walking up to the door. In addition, the Smart Lock U400 is compatible with the likes of Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, SmartHome and others too.
The Aqara Smart Lock U400 is currently available in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
