These 7 New Gadgets Are the Coolest Smart Home Products We've Seen in a While
Here's what smart home electronics and appliances caught our eye at this year's CES tech tradeshow.
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada, is the event for established brands and startups to showcase their latest tech products. If you're drawn to innovation, want the next best thing, are interested in optimizing your home life, or just like to geek-out on gadgets, there's something for everyone.
In the extremely expansive home category, there were some common themes this year: cutting-edge robot vacs that "see" everything, a medley of robot lawn mowers to take this trend outdoors, robotic interactive kids' toys, smart pet care contraptions, appliances that essentially plan and cook meals for you and AI everything.
Here's what caught our eye at CES 2026, including products currently available for purchase and items that'll launch by summer.
Dreame is a new-ish Chinese company that manufactures smart small appliances. The brand had a gigantic exhibit at CES with a medley of robot vacuums, including the not-yet-available Cyber X, which climbs stairs. But one product we can actually picture using in our own homes is the H15 Pro Heat.
This cordless stick vac does much more than suck up small particles from the floor (and it does that quite well, by the way). It also uses hot water to dissolve and remove grime and sticky residues — and promises to be suitable for wood flooring. Then it calls on high-speed airflow to quickly dry the surface.
The H15 Heat also has smart detection that senses different types of messes and stains, then automatically adjusts the cleaning power. The coolest feature might be its robotic "arm," which is essentially a thin horizontal scraper that extends out from the head to remove dirt as close as possible to corners and baseboards.
TV maker Sylvox debuted its newest Frames Series for outdoor televisions. These TVs have super-narrow bezel rims, which the brand claims are up to 90% thinner than most outdoor TVs. The idea is that a higher screen-to-frame ratio helps the TV blend into the wall (or your backyard environment if you use a stand instead of mounting it) and "maximizes immersion."
Sylvox offers full-sun TVs, but this collection is designed for partial-sun areas, like a covered patio. It has anti-glare technology that helps you see the picture vividly, even on the brightest days.
The fully metal, corrosion-resistant construction is made to withstand rain, snow, moisture, and extreme temperatures. We also appreciate the AI wallpaper generator, which automatically creates custom images to complement the mood or moment.
Lumary had a bunch of aesthetically pleasing, feature-rich lighting options on display at CES. We liked the dual-purpose Smart Ceiling Fan Light.
Unlike traditional fan-light combos with long, wide blades and chain switches hanging down, this one has a very low profile. It's under 20 inches in diameter and extends barely 6.5 inches from the ceiling. This product balances minimalism with visual interest and a futuristic aesthetic.
As for features, it uses an RGB (red, green, blue) color model to create millions of colors through light, plus CCT (correlated color temperature) to allow for the perfect warmth. You can adjust the hue, brightness, warmth and fan speed. The fan itself is also notably quiet, so you'll get a nice breeze without whizzing or whirring noises.
The Korean company Vovo had a few smart toilets on display at CES, including the Stylement Bidet. High-tech bidets have been around for a while, but this one has a few notable features that set it apart.
This sophisticated toilet boasts a water-saving system that decides whether you need a full (for solids) or partial (for liquids only) flush by detecting how long you sit on it. At the risk of stating the obvious, a shorter sitting time would trigger a partial flush.
It has a rimless bowl (without the typical lip around the top) and uses "tornado" flushing to create a powerful whirlpool with minimal water. This helps prevent waste from building up and leaving stains in the bowl. Meanwhile, ultraviolet (UV) light sanitizes and controls odor.
The Stylement doesn't have the typical tank on the back of the toilet — it pulls water for flushing directly from pipes, so it can sit more flush with the wall. We also like that there's an LED light inside the bowl that offers just enough illumination for going to the bathroom in the middle of the night when you don't want to flip on the overhead lights.
Ceragem showcased its M6 massage chair at the tradeshow. This product uses an upgraded version of the brand's body-scanning technology that detects the position of your shoulders, the curve of your back, and the length of your spine to create a custom massage experience.
The M6 goes beyond your back, though. It comes with leg massage sleeves that fill with air and deliver gentle pressure to boost circulation, plus airbags on the sides to massage the thighs and pelvis.
Another major pro of this product is that it's not as much of an eyesore as other massage chairs. The sleek, modish design wouldn't look out of place in a den or home office.
At Cozyla's CES booth, we were drawn to the Calendar+ Go. This 32-inch touchscreen device is marketed as the ultimate family hub. For instance, you can keep it in the kitchen and create and compile each family member's schedule, generate chore charts, plan meals, view recipes while cooking, make grocery lists and keep track of the food you already have — to name just a few uses.
We're big fans of the portable, adaptable design. You can download various mobile apps and connect the device to Amazon Alexa or Google Home. The orientation can also be turned from vertical to horizontal for streaming videos.
Not only that, but the included stand and wheeled base allow you to move it around your home as needed. It even has a built-in battery, so you don't have to worry about cords or placing it near an outlet.
Emerson SmartVoice Bladeless Fan/Air Purifier
Emerson's new line of smart appliances, expected to hit the market later this year, stands out for its simple, user-friendly offerings. Unlike most smart gadgets on the market, there's no mobile app component for these products, and you don't have to set up WiFi or create an account.
With the SmartVoice Bladeless Fan/Air Purifier, all you have to do is say, "Hey, fan…" with the command you want. This allows you to turn it on and off, adjust the speed, and change the settings.
As the name suggests, this product doubles as a fan and an air purifier, with a HEPA filter that removes allergens and pollutants from your indoor air. It can also be used as a space heater. On top of the feature-rich design, it stands out for its elegant, midcentury modern appearance.
