Last year, IFA (Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin), Europe’s biggest tech show, celebrated 100 years of showcasing the biggest tech innovations. One year later, we are back, pounding the pavement at Messe Berlin to find out what's cool, what's innovative, and what's likely to arrive in the U.S. next year.
With impressive product debuts lining the show floor, there is so much to get our hands on. We’ve selected the best of what we found at the show based on innovation, core technology, design, and value, and we’re awarding them!
Appliances
Candy Multi Wash
Blueair Blue Signature Air Purifier
Blueair’s new Blue Signature air purifier is impressive, building on the successful and effective tech of earlier models like the DustMagnet 5410i and the Classic Pro CP7i, both of which we tested and loved. Blue Signature stands out as the brand’s most ambitious step forward, filtering 99.97% of airborne pollutants as small as 0.1 microns—including dust, pollen, bacteria, viruses, and mold—while introducing a seven-stage filtration system that features OdorFence technology. Its ability to neutralize gases and household odors up to 10 times more effectively than competing models truly sets it apart. Combined with Surround Air Engineering, it achieves true whole-room coverage, purifying up to 3,385 square feet per hour with 360-degree airflow, making it both the most efficient and most comprehensive purifier Blueair has released.
Available in September 2025.
Candy Multi Wash
We’ve been around the appliance world for decades, and we’ve never quite seen a washing machine like this new entry from Haier’s Italian appliances brand, Candy. Notably, it features not one, not two, but three separate washing drums, the largest at 10.5 kilograms and two smaller ones at 1 kilogram each. This unique configuration allows for the user to launder three loads at the same time (say, delicates, darks, and towels), while customizing such selections as cycle and temperature. Interconnected water inlets paired with an AI-driven multi-drum integrated system allow it all to happen with reduced water and energy consumption, too—proven by a top EU Energy Label of A-20% for energy use.

Dreame X-Wind Dual Robotic Arm Air Conditioner
Being hot is not cool, especially if you’re overweight or in the throes of menopause. Enter Dreame’s dreamy new X-Wind wall-mounted air conditioning unit, featuring industry-first technology with dual robotic arms that control airflow. These “arms”—they’re more like extensions with perforated panels on them—can split the airflow coming out of the appliance, channeling a more substantial flow to one side and a lesser one to the other, at the same time. So one person won’t be sweating while another person in the room is freezing. The X-Wind also includes a medical-grade filter with UV light and plasma inside, and a self-cleaning function for internals.
Available in Q1 2026.
Dreo 711S Outdoor Misting Tower Fan
One of our favorite things about Disney World is not the rides or the excitement—it’s the very practical misting tents to cool off the guests who've been standing in lines under a beating sun for hours. Our favorite power tower fan brand, Dreo, has unveiled its new 711S Outdoor Misting Tower Fan, designed to provide cool, damp air for you to enjoy while sweating it out on your patio or balcony. It features a brushless direct current motor and 120 degrees of oscillating coolness in 12 speeds that can cover up to 33 feet per second. As for the mist, it can stretch to 20 feet before evaporating, reducing the surrounding area by up to 9°F. And, at 25 decibels when operating, it makes next to no noise.
Haier Next Generation with AI Wash Sense
Seems like cameras are everywhere these days, but we've never seen one in a washing machine—until now. Haier has boldly called its new range of laundry machines “Next Generation,” but we think it actually lives up to the name. First off, there is a camera in the drum, called AI Vision, to grab information about your personal washing cycles and work in tandem with the nine internal sensors that make up the AI Wash Sense system. Then, the machine remembers the habits and preferences it has learned, and automatically recommends and/or applies those learnings to future loads. Lastly, its Ultramix feature works magic with detergent, “vaporizing” it onto fabric and reducing waste.

Headphones and audio
Timekettle W4
Baseus Inspire XH1
If you’re looking for excellent headphones for the price, the Baseus Inspire XH1 headphones have a lot going for them. The headphones cost only $150, but after testing them personally, I'm confident that they sound better than plenty of more expensive headphones. This could be due to Baseus' collaboration with Bose on these headphones. They also offer an extraordinary battery life, up to 100 hours. And, they work with a well-designed app that gives them extra features, like an EQ you can tune. Really, these headphones set a new bar for options in their price range.
Beyerdynamic Aventho 200
The Beyerdynamic Aventho 200 headphones are designed as an alternative to the flagship Aventho 300, offering similar audio quality but without features like Dolby Atmos and head tracking. They still have 45mm drivers and noise cancellation. Plus, they have an excellent battery life, sitting at 63 hours when ANC is turned off. That's good when you consider the fact that the likes of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones deliver only around 24 hours. The headphones will also work with the Beyerdynamic app and offer improved call clarity using Qualcomm cVc technology to ensure your voice is clear even in noisy environments.
Available now in Europe at €249.
Ear Fun Air Pro 4+
While there were plenty of affordable headphones at IFA 2025, the EarFun Air Pro 4+ were some of the more interesting ones. That’s because they’re a follow-up to the well-reviewed EarFun Air Pro 4, adding extra features and new tech, like Bluetooth 6.0. In fact, they’re some of the first headphones with Bluetooth 6.0, which gives them lower latency, higher-resolution audio, and more. They support LDAC too, and EarFun says they’ll get a hefty 54-hour battery life, in total listening time with the charging case—all that for only $99, which is very solid.
Available in October for $99.90.
JBL Grip
JBL’s latest portable speaker is designed to be both ergonomic and versatile, suitable for multiple purposes. The JBL Grip is a can-shaped portable speaker, but it also has an LED light built into it that JBL bills as the perfect reading light. JBL says the speaker has a louder, fuller sound than comparable speakers, and it offers up to 14 hours of battery life per charge. That’s not bad at all, especially given its size.
Available on September 28 for $100.
Jlab Jbuds Open Headphones
Open earbuds are all the rage right now, but they're not the only form factor that allows you to hear noise from the outside world. While you can hear outside noise in transparency mode on some headphones, JLab has a different solution in the form of the JLab JBuds Open Headphones. These are actual over-ear headphones that are designed to avoid blocking any outside noise whatsoever. In fact, the outer shell of the headphones is entirely open. So why would you want this? Well, it means you don't have to give up on larger drivers that deliver deeper bass just because you prefer open-style headphones. Typically, bass response is impacted by not having a complete seal around your ears — but with the larger drivers, the headphones should still deliver a better bass response than smaller open-style earbuds.
Available early 2026 for $99.99.
Technics SL-40CBT Turntable
Technics is known for its high-end audiophile-level turntables, but at IFA 2025, it showed off its first turntable with Bluetooth support. The Technics SL-40CBT boasts a modern design that comes in three different colors and is a direct drive turntable with Technics' core-less motor to help with rotation accuracy and stability—the same motor design that's found in the company's higher-end turntables. As mentioned, it has Bluetooth connectivity to allow you to connect it to Bluetooth speakers and wireless headphones. To be clear, this is still an audiophile turntable designed for those who have high-end wired speakers that they use most of the time. But unless you have a dedicated listening room, there are probably times when it's best for the others in your home that you listen with some headphones on, which is precisely where the Bluetooth connectivity comes in.
Available in September at $899.
Timekettle W4
Timekettle has been working on translation tech for some time now, but its latest product could be its best yet. The Timekettle W4 earbuds use AI to provide real-time translation in dozens of different languages, allowing you to hear what someone else might be saying in your own language without significant delay. They’re a bit larger than traditional earbuds, but that’s because they run the company’s own Babel OS 2.0 AI translation tech. Not only that, but they also have bone conduction sensors built into them to improve accuracy, even in loud environments. The two earbuds can be used separately by two different users, allowing you to have a direct conversation with someone else.

JisuLife Ultra 2
JisuLife Ultra 2 Handheld Fan
JisuLife has built its reputation innovating on all types of portable fans. This year at IFA, we’re loving the Ultra 2 upgrade to its popular Ultra 1 handheld fan and multifunctional device. It features a max wind speed of 16.5 m/s, a digital display, and a 25-hour battery life. This half-pound package also acts as an air pump, flashlight, emergency light, and power bank. We also appreciate that the fan’s sleek design not only looks good, but it also takes safety into account by purposefully preventing hair entanglement while it's being used.
Laifen P3 Pro Electric Shaver
Laifen's new P3 Pro isn’t just another electric shaver. It’s a thoughtfully engineered personal grooming device that balances cutting performance, premium materials, and user-friendly convenience. At $169, the P3 Pro sits at the premium end of the electric shaver market. It sets itself apart with its dual-drive linear motor system, which delivers consistent cutting action while keeping vibration low—a balance most shavers struggle to achieve. Paired with an ultra-thin 0.055mm foil and a three-blade setup (two shaver blades plus a trimmer blade), it’s designed to handle different beard types, but it’s best for the man who has thick growth, wants a close shave, and shaves frequently. After all, it’s got 100 minutes of run time. The domed cutter head adapts smoothly to facial contours, making it more forgiving on sensitive skin and reducing irritation. As a cool factor, the shaver is made from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, rather than plastic, emphasizing design. For men willing to invest in a high-end grooming experience, the P3 Pro is a compelling option.

TV Backlight 3 Pro
Aqara Presence Multi-Sensor FP300
Home security brand Aqara’s new Presence Multi-Sensor FP300 might just be the touchiest product we’ve seen lately, but that’s a good thing. It uses five— five! —sensors to detect if and when someone enters a room: mmWave for fine motion, PIR (passive infrared) to sense heat stamps in a room, and then light, temperature, and humidity sensors. It also features built-in Thread and Zigbee support, and is Matter-enabled. But why is this important? Smart home enthusiasts can guess that the FP300 will use the information it gathers to make living more comfortable for the user, in a way that no other sensor on the market does right now. For example, if presence is detected and the room temperature is below, say, 68°F, the FP300 will trigger the smart thermostat to turn on the heater. Once the presence is no longer detected, the heater will kick off, preventing wasted energy. Best of all, you can place the FP300 anywhere you want; it’s battery-operated and can last up to 2 years before running out of juice.
Available October 31, 2025.
Govee TV Backlight 3 Pro
We are huge fans of Govee lighting products—the Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro X Sound by JBL has provided our visual and audio soundtrack this summer. We’re excited to see another new 2025 Govee debut, the TV Backlight 3 Pro. A backlight’s job is to reduce eye strain, deepen and define dark scenes, and, particularly in this case, create a more immersive viewing experience by syncing with the colors on the screen using an HDR triple-camera color-matching system, an industry first. It also features an upgraded lightstrip that can deliver 30% more brightness, and a white light performance that can accurately reproduce across the cool to warm spectrum. It’s compatible with Matter and any TV.
Reolink TrackFlex Floodlight Wi-Fi with ReoNeura AI
Imagine a burglar trying to contend with an AI-powered, camera-equipped floodlight that finds and tracks them as they attempt their break-in. That's precisely the type of home defense the new, motion-activated TrackFlex Floodlight Wi-Fi will offer. The PTZ camera features a 4K dual lens (both wide-angle and telephoto with 6x hybrid zoom) that can rotate 360 degrees—a first in the market. The results are sharp, detailed, and comprehensive. Atop the camera, two floodlights can reach 3000 lumens at a 40-foot range, ensuring there’s no place to hide. For general, non-crime-related use, users can tailor the brightness and warmth of the lights and the duration they stay on. Users can also access data gathered (which is saved locally, not on the cloud) via the app and by using the powerful new Reoneura object detection AI video search.
Home theater and TVs
Dangbei S7 Ultra Max
The Dangbei S7 Ultra Max is another super high-tech projector that was shown off at IFA 2025. There are a few things that make this such a great projector, like the fact that it offers up to a massive 6,200 ISO lumens in brightness. That makes it one of the brightest projectors on the market right now, achieved with a liquid cooling system to help disperse all the excess heat. It has additional features like dual 15W speakers and an 8000:1 contrast ratio, which is excellent for a projector.
Available now in select regions.
JMGO O2S Ultra
Projectors are big at IFA 2025, and the JMGO O2S Ultra 4K is a perfect example of why. JMGO has actually been pushing the boundaries of projector tech for a while now, and the O2S Ultra 4K proves this. It’s an ultra-short-throw technology, which means it can be placed right next to the wall it projects onto. And, it can project a huge image too — up to 150 inches. It can project a 100-inch image from just under six inches away, which is pretty incredible. And that’s while delivering a bright, vibrant image at up to 2,500 ISO lumens. It’s powered by Google TV, supports Dolby Vision, and even has 20-watt dual speakers built right into it.
Kodak Luma 500 Smart Pico Projector with Google TV
While we saw a range of ultra-powerful and high-tech projectors at IFA 2025, the Kodak Luma 500 takes a different approach. It’s not as bright as other projectors, less powerful, and lacks multiple ports. But it also happens to be incredibly small. Despite its tiny size, the projector still boasts Google TV, 1080p resolution, and reasonable brightness for its size. The Google TV support is invaluable — allowing you to download and run all your favorite streaming services, including Netflix. That’s pretty impressive for a projector that has a footprint of 5.2 x 5.2 inches.
Samsung Micro RGB TV
Samsung’s new Micro RGB TV may not be an actual micro-LED TV, but it could still set a new bar for TV technology, especially as it relates to brightness and vivid colors. Instead of white LEDs, the TV's backlight array is composed of thousands of RGB LEDs, which can combine to create more vivid and brighter colors. The TV is currently only available in a whopping 115-inch size, and it’s certainly not cheap. However, the tech itself is likely to become more affordable and could be featured on more Samsung TVs at much lower price points over the next few years.
Availability TBD, $29,999.
TCL QM9K
TCL has been a leader in the Mini-LED space for some time now, and it’s keeping that ball rolling. The company has unveiled the new TCL QM9K, its highest-end Mini LED TV that uses quantum dots technology for improved colors and brightness. In fact, the TV supports HDR6500, which means you’ll get an impressive peak brightness of 6,500 nits in HDR. That’s pretty huge. It has excellent control of its backlighting too, thanks to its 23-bit backlight controller that can control over 65,000 levels of brightness, according to the company. Not only that, but it will be one of the first TVs to have Google's Gemini AI Assistant built in, replacing Google Assistant. It’ll only come in larger sizes — ranging from 65 inches to 98 inches. Pricing for the TV has yet to be revealed, but it will be available later this month.
Available September 2025.
XGIMI Horizon 20 Series
XGIMI has long built some of the best projectors for the money, and the Horizon series has been its go-to for those who want flagship performance in XGIMI’s lineup. The Horizon 20 series is comprised of three models: the standard Horizon 20, the Horizon 20 Pro, and the Horizon 20 Max. All of the models in the lineup are built to be high-tech, and they all support Dolby Vision and HDR10+, along with support for Netflix, which isn’t always a given on projectors. They’re even built to meet the standards of gamers, and XGIMI has partnered with Ubisoft on Assassin’s Creed: Shadows for these models. When it comes to tech specs, the projectors offer up to a massive 5,700 ISO lumens of brightness (the Horizon 20 Max), plus they have a 1ms low-latency game mode, 240Hz refresh rate, and support for a variable refresh rate.
Pre-orders now open, full availability starting October 15, price starts at $1,699.
Kitchen and cooking
AEG 7000 MealAssist Oven with PizzaExpert
AEG 7000 MealAssist Oven with PizzaExpert
Every region of the States has a different pizza style—Chicago, New York, Detroit, New Haven, Philly tomato pie—and then there are the more worldly Neapolitan, Sicilian, and Greek. Some are good, and some are not so good. But here in Europe, there is only one kind of pizza, and that’s the kind that comes from Italy. However, Electrolux Group’s AEG brand is proposing that you can now make authentic pizza at home thanks to its upcoming Pizza Expert functionality on its brand new 7000 Meal Assist wall oven. It’s more of a tech-meets-tangible package that includes a cast-iron oven tray that heats to 340°C and an app-based guide that walks users through an easy process from dough to fire. Once preheated, the pizza only takes two minutes and 30 seconds to cook through, and best yet, the whole experience has been approved by the esteemed Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli. If you know, you know.

Bosch Steam Drawer
It’s often a race to get first-of-its-kind innovations to market, well, first. This year at IFA, two appliance titans, Miele and Bosch, have each debuted their pioneer steam drawers. Both look to be excellent, but while Miele’s is meant more for home cooks looking for professional steam results, Bosch’s version is more user-friendly and practical, and that’s what we love about it. Bosch’s smart steam drawer fits into a standard drawer opening, making it easy to install; it can also slide into the warming drawer space right beneath an oven, and it coordinates style-wise with Bosch Series 6 and Series 8. It offers a multi-use application with a primary focus on gentle steaming, but it can also proof, reheat, defrost, and sterilize. Whereas Miele’s iteration offers over 100 auto programs and leaves the choosing to the user, Bosch’s assists the user intuitively by adjusting settings based on what dish is being cooked. This is the perfect fit for households wanting a multi-purpose, connected helper for healthy cooking and daily prep.
Haier Horizon Collection Refrigerator with Nutri Bank
The Horizon Collection Refrigerator with Nutri Bank aims to improve food preservation, and not in ways that have been talked to death, like crisper drawers and freezer burn. Instead, Nutri Bank is a new technology in appliances that stores food, such as fish, meat, and fruit, at sub-zero temperatures without freezing it according to traditional methods. This is called supercooling in science circles, a process does not cause texture and consistency damage like regular freezing does. All this to say, your food will taste day-of fresh even if you bought it two months ago.
Available by January 2026.
Magnifique Claypot Oven
Among home cooks, the Le Creuset Dutch oven is a timeless status piece—it’s iconic, heirloom-worthy cookware that is often left out on the stove or table as part of the décor—pretty yet functional. Well, after touring the showroom floors at Messe Berlin this week, we think the Magnifique Claypot Oven could match that beauty while stepping functionality up a notch by adding modern convenience, versatility, and eco-efficiency to an active kitchen. With its darling silhouette, toxin-free kaolin clay pot, and eight one-touch presets, the Magnifique Claypot Oven replaces multiple appliances while cooking faster and more efficiently. Unlike Le Creuset, it doesn’t just sit on the stove—it sears, steams, slow cooks, and serves in one stylish package. It’s the next-generation upgrade to classic, pretty cookware.
Miele M Sense Intelligent Cookware
One of our favorite German appliance brands has announced its first foray into cookware with the phrase “Nothing burns, nothing boils over.” Miele’s brand new M Sense smart induction cookware features integrated touch controls, offering regulated, precise cooking. How so? The cookware “talks” to Miele’s new KM 8000 induction cooktop, which means consumers don’t need to supply as much oversight—or stress—when cooking meals like pasta or fried eggs. When used with the cooktop, the M Sense cookware itself automatically senses and regulates the power setting, ensuring your food doesn't overcook or burn, even if you get distracted. What’s more, even with the battery-powered control element in the pots themselves, you can run them right through the dishwasher, which means clean-up just got easier, too.
Available in April 2026.
Vitesy Shelfy
If you don’t have the budget for a fancy refrigerator with advanced crisper technology, you can still ensure your produce lasts longer for under $150. Italian brand Vitesy has just released its second generation of the Shelfy smart device, which uses a washable photocatalytic filter to eliminate odors and bacteria, allowing your strawberries and broccoli to stay fresh up to twice as long as usual. You can control the device through an app, and it only needs a battery recharge about every three months. Pretty set it and forget it, if you ask us!
Available October 2025.
Laptops, computing, and gaming
Lenovo Legion Go 2
Acer Swift 16 Air
It’s been a big year for “Air” branding, and Acer is getting in on the action with a new category of laptops in the Swift line. The Acer Swift 16 Air may have a large 16-inch display, but it’s designed to be ultra-lightweight, weighing under 1kg and measuring 0.65 inches thick. Sure, that’s not the thinnest laptop out there, but because it offers an AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processor and up to 13 hours of battery life, it’s pretty solid. And, thickness is only part of the equation—this 16-inch laptop weighs less than a 13-inch MacBook Air. The screen should look great too, and there’s an option for an AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Available in November in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, starting at €999.
Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514
Acer is taking a spin at building higher-performance Chromebooks. The Acer Chromebook Spin 514 offers the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 processor coupled with up to 16GB of RAM. More important than that, however, could be its high-quality build. It's well-built and solid, and indeed more premium-feeling than the vast majority of Chromebooks out there. It also has a nice-looking screen with a 1920x1200 resolution and touch support. On the sides of the laptop, you'll get two USB-C 3.2 ports, a headphone jack, and two USB-A 3.2 ports. It's designed specifically for professionals who want Chrome OS, rather than students or schools, who would probably opt for something on the cheaper end anyway.
Available in October for $699.
ELEGOO Centauri Carbon
3D printing technology has been continually improving, and it’s found use in various industries. The ELEGOO Centauri Carbon is an excellent example of this. It’s designed to be easy to use and versatile, offering automatic calibration features that prevent complicated and precise setups. It also supports a broader range of print filaments than many other 3D printers, making it incredibly versatile. And that’s all at a reasonable price.
Available now for $299.99.
Lenovo Legion Go 2
Lenovo has finally unveiled the follow-up to the original Legion Go: the new Legion Go 2. It offers Lenovo’s detachable Legion TrueStrike controllers, which have been redesigned to feel more comfortable, plus they can still be used in a docked mode for versatility. The Legion Go 2 has a new 8.8-inch 144Hz OLED screen, along with HDR TrueBlack 1000 certification, which means it should deliver true black levels at 1,000 nits peak brightness. Under the hood, the device has an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, along with up to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. All of these things come together in what could be the most advanced gaming handheld yet.
Available in October for $1,049.
Lenovo Legion Pro 7
Lenovo used IFA as an opportunity to refresh its Legion Pro 7, which now comes equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9000HX Series processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, coupled with up to an impressive 32GB of RAM. It combines these features with Lenovo's Legion Coldfront: Vapor cooling technology, designed to ensure the laptop can sustain high performance levels for extended periods. It also features a great-looking 16-inch OLED screen with a 240Hz refresh rate.
Available in November, starting at $2,400.
Lifestyle and pets
iGarden Swim Jet P Series
Get ready for a wave-filled adventure in your backyard pool. Unlike ordinary swim jets, its advanced jet-engine-style nozzle and fluid dynamics design create waves twice the size of its competitors. At its core is InverTurbo technology, generating the strongest water flow in its class, pushing speeds up to 4 m/s. Add in the high-efficiency motor, and you’ve got an eco-friendly powerhouse that delivers up to 1,100 gallons per minute—that’s two to three times stronger than other systems in its price range. Installation is a breeze with its pool deck mounting solution, and control is just as simple: a sleek touch panel and Wi-Fi app let you adjust intensity, switch between five wave modes, and personalize your swim session. User-friendly and performance-driven, the iGarden Swim Jet P Series isn’t just another pool accessory—it’s a home fitness upgrade and entertainment hub rolled into one.
Available in September 2025.
Tomtoc Aviator–T37
Sometimes simple is best, like Tomtoc’s new Aviator–T37 crossbody bag, particularly the X-pac version. What looks like a stylish travel accessory is actually packed with features, including high-performance multi-layer laminated fabric that’s 100% waterproof (aka X-pac), a theft-proof covered zipper that locks, and an RFID-blocking pocket to protect from electronic theft. It doesn’t have an app—unlike so many other products here at IFA—but really, that would just be overkill.
Mobile Accessories
Inmo Air 3 Smart Glasses
Aukey MagFusion Ark
The Aukey MagFusion Ark is a new take on wireless charging stations. It's a modular charging concept that comes with a base station along with three Qi2.2 orbs. They each have a battery and their own Qi2.2 compatible charging pads. When they're on the base station, the battery inside the chargers charges up, and they support pass-through charging — so if you attach your phone to an orb on the base station, it'll be able to charge. Then you can move those orbs around your home to charge devices using the battery built in. Each orb has a 6700mAh battery, which is enough for a full charge on most modern phones. It's a neat idea for those who want to charge multiple devices or keep chargers dotted around the house without running wires everywhere.
Available in Q1 2026, pricing TBD.
Inmo Air 3 Smart Glasses
Smart glasses are becoming increasingly popular, with some new featuring displays. The Inmo Air 3 features a high-quality 1080p display. It's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR processor with 18GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Not only that, it's built to be easier to control than other smart glasses. It works with a connected smart ring that functions like a tiny mouse. On top of that, it has a 16-megapixel ultrawide camera for taking photos and giving AI services access to the world around you when needed. Unlike other smart glasses, it has a built-in battery, though we don't yet know precisely how long it lasts.
Kickstarter launches on September 15, $899.
Plaud Note Pro
AI recording devices have started to gain steam, especially in certain professions (like journalism). The original Plaud Note was considered among the best, but now there’s an even better model in the form of the Plaud Note Pro. This device is only a little larger than a credit card, but it has a microphone built into it, allowing you to record voice memos and meetings, which it will then transcribe using AI for better accuracy. The new model also has an AMOLED display built into it, along with more precise microphones, an “Endurance” mode for better battery life (up to 50 hours!), and more. It’s the perfect AI-based companion for those who want to transcribe voice more easily.
Ugreen MagFlow Foldable 3-in-1 Wireless Charger
We've seen several foldable wireless charging stations that allow you to charge a phone, an Apple Watch, and a pair of earbuds all at the same time. The Ugreen MagFlow Foldable 3-in-1 Wireless Charger may look like another one of those, but unlike previous generation models, it supports the Qi2 25W standard, also known as Qi2.2. That means you'll get the fastest wireless charging speeds for devices that support it, like current-generation iPhones. The charger comes in a lovely light blue color and serves as the perfect charging station for travel.
Available now for $139.99.
Robots
Aiper Scuba V3
We’ve tested many robotic pool cleaners over the last few years, including several Aiper models, most recently the X1 Pro Max, a premium robot that sells for upwards of $2,500. We had some issues with it, including its portability (50 pounds) and connectivity. However, we are super excited to see that Aiper is launching the Scuba V3, a rather groundbreaking value model that’s focused on AI vision (a first for Aiper, and better than the XI Pro Max, in our opinion), energy efficiency, and user experience, all for less than half the pric e in a 16-pound package. Basically, the Scuba V3 sees the pool environment with a camera, can recognize what it’s looking at by using AI, and then applies those learnings to make wise decisions about how and where to clean, specifically, rather than just broad-mapped coverage. And we absolutely love this. $1,199.
Available in early 2026.
Ecovacs Deebot X11 Omnicyclone
We got a preview unit of Ecovacs’ brand-new Deebot X11 Omnicyclone robot vacuum and mop, and it’s whisper-quiet as it cleans around us. Even on Strong mode, it’s not as loud as my Dyson 360 VisNav (admittedly, it’s also double the price). But in our book, a clean floor is the mark of a clean house, and the Omnicyclone will get you there with several new elements. Deebot has updated its roller mop, adding a reinforced, high-density nylon to break down really gross, dried-on stains. Its high-torque motor features four levels of suction power and three cleaning speeds, allowing it to get into edges and corners. It can also climb thresholds of 4 centimeters, and we’ve only seen one other robot vacuum across the industry that can do that. So how long does it take? Thanks to PowerBoost GaN charging technology, which utilizes gallium nitride instead of traditional silicon, charging becomes more efficient, quicker, and more powerful.

Robot vacuum enthusiasts living in multi-floor spaces are about to get super jazzed about Eufy’s brand-new MarsWalker Station. It’s not a starship, nor is it like the Mars Rover. If you can imagine an army tank hybrid with a picture frame body, then you probably have a decent idea of what this thing looks like. To use, a Eufy robot vacuum—in the demo’s case, the new Omni S2—detects stairs and then ventures over to the MarsWalker before slipping inside. Then, the MarsWalker flips out its four independent arms and then glides up or down a stairwell using a track-drive system. You may laugh when you see it in action, but the truth is, the MarsWalker just changed the game. Instead of only being able to maintain carpets and floors on a single level, a single robot vacuum can now clean your entire, multi-level home without any supervision or human interference.
JONR X1 Max Robot Vacuum and Mop
A rising star in the robot vacuum industry, JONR products are best-selling and well-ranked in countries like South Korea, Germany, Italy, France, and Spain. We like the brand-new JONR X1 Max robot vacuum and mop model because it specifically focuses on helping pet owners keep their homes clean, combining industry-leading technology into one convenient package. At 20,000Pa, the X1 Max’s suction power is among the best (although the Roborock Saros 10R and Dyson 360 Vis Nav beat it with 22,000Pa), which certainly positions it to be excellent at eating up pet hair and fur. Using an AI vision system, it will avoid pet waste and tails—a bonus on both accounts. As for its mopping function, it can heat water to effectively wash away muddy paw prints and then blow warm air to dry them. And all this for what price? €799—far less than its competitors.

Lymow One Robotic Lawn Mower
The Lymow One offers several unique features over other residential robot lawn mowers. It boasts tank-like treads instead of wheels, which let it tackle more challenging terrain as well as slopes up to about 45 degrees. It’s also specifically designed for large yards and can map a whopping 15 acres. And then there are the serrated blades that look like gnarly dragon teeth—these dual rotary mulching blades spin at 6,000rpm (like on a regular lawn mower!), slicing through even coarse, dense grass that other robot lawn mowers simply can’t handle with their smaller, rectangular blades. So, how does it get around? Its proprietary LySee navigation system that fuses RTK, VSLAM, and AI vision for wire‑free precision.
Available in October 2025, or for pre-order now.
Mammotion Luba Mini AWD LiDAR Robotic Lawn Mower
As lawn-care nerds, we're genuinely excited about the release of the Luba Mini AWD LiDAR Robotic Lawn Mower, the first-ever robot lawn mower to position and navigate using a trifecta of navigation tools, including LiDAR, RTK, and camera vision. Its smart features can create and manage up to 20 mow zones, including no-go areas, which is always fun if you’ve worked with models that love to spin dirt all afternoon. And its mowing capabilities promise powerful, precision cutting. We generally love Mammotion robot lawn mowers, and earlier models we tested have previously ranked at the top of our list. Where will this boy end up? Springtime will tell. €2299
