12 Must-Have Gadgets From The Consumer Electronics Show 2026

Do we want a robot who will fold clothes? Heck yeah! LG gave a demonstration of CLOiD, an AI-powered “home robot” that can basically be your chore monkey around the house. He’s so smart he can even interact with other LG appliances around the house — the fridge closes itself after CLOid takes out the milk, for starters. It’s a little slow going, but this type of innovation is a great start. SwitchBot also has a laundry bot that can wash dishes, serve food and wash windows. SwitchBot will retail this year for $10,000.

The Nosh box is the closest we’ve seen to an AI home chef. Pick one of 500 recipes, cut up your ingredients, put them in the little boxes and slide them into the unit when you are ready. The Nosh will season, mix and cook your food without it burning. Now you can no longer claim you can’t cook. The Nosh will retail on Kickstarter for $2,400.

This is like Amazon’s Alexa, but as an action-figure-sized avatar that sits on your nightstand or desk, Razer's Project Ava will wake you up, alert you to sleep issues like snoring and even help you get dressed in the morning. At work she’ll help you stay productive, and even coach you through gaming at night. She can also be switched to a “he” avatar if you prefer. It’s like your very own personal genie in a bottle.

This scary-looking robot is actually a vacuum that can climb stairs thanks to four little chainsaw-looking legs. An answer to your upstairs cleaning prayers or a sleep-paralysis demon in the making?

You’ve coordinated your makeup with your outfit but forgot about your nails. No worries, just select the color you like on the iPolish app, put your nails with iPolish press-ons in the little machine and bam, the color is updated, no drying necessary. It’s going to retail for $95 and nail refill packs are $24. iPolish is being tight-lipped on how this works, but it’s most likely electrochemical, according to Engadget.

Analog audio continues to gain popularity, especially with Gen Z. This mix of analog and high tech from Victrola brings the best audio experience to your vinyls. Slide the Soundstage under your turntable for a full stereo experience. It acts as a Bluetooth speaker that can connect to either the turntable or another audio source. It even has a woofer for bass and stereo mode for separation.

Love it or hate it, Lego now has a smart brick. It detects motion, light and pressure and scans smart tags on Smart Lego playset pieces so it can make the appropriate lightsaber noises, engine roars, flashing lights, etc. It needs charging after 40 minutes of active play. This could be really cool when paired with the right set, but it does limit creativity a bit, as it’s not an endless-play sort of piece but a specific one made for certain functions within sets.

Bird watchers love their camera-enabled BirdBuddies, but BirdBuddy 2 goes further with solar panels for charging and AI to identify birds by their songs. The seed chamber is bigger, and the camera got an upgrade too, so you can look at the birdies in better color and definition. This will retail for $199.

You can stop buying disposable eye masks with L'Oréal’s thin silicone, rechargeable LED eye patches. They also have a full-face mask, which is so much sleeker than typical LED light therapy masks. These masks are great because they gently improve skin’s texture and pigment without harsh creams or scrubs. Lastly, they have a new straightener, the Lightstraight that is fast with infrared tech, which means less fried tresses for you.

The Samsung 130-inch Micro RGB TV is a monster — wall sized with super rich colors and sits in its own stand. If you want your entire wall to be a screen, it’s your time to shine.

Use Jackery's Solar Gazebo as an outdoor gathering space in your backyard. It is sturdy and uses solar panels to recharge Jackery power stations or run the fan on its ceiling. It even has a projector screen for outdoor movie night.

I think we can collectively agree gas-powered leaf blowers are one of the worst outdoor sounds. Tone is going to correct that with this quiet T1 model that has just 52 decibels of peak noise. It is pretty powerful, light and can run for hours on one charge too.
