[00:07] 2026 and there's so much amazing tech that I can't wait to show you. We have a lot to see. So, sit back, relax, and let's check it out. In my 9 years of attending CES, I've never seen a real laundry folding robot before, but it's [00:23] here. Folding shirts and towels. It's a company called Dina. And the robots were moving way faster than the other laundry humanoid type robots we saw here. Meanwhile, LG's robot named Cloyd could only move a shirt into the washer and [00:38] didn't [music] even attempt to fold the laundry when I was there. But don't worry, it's still super helpful because it can slide the laundry basket because the robot vacuum doesn't want to go around it. Why, LG? Why? Switchbot had [00:52] one that could pick up laundry and put it in the washer, but it was so slow. Now you can see why those super fast Dina laundry robots stood out, but they're B2B and will have a monthly fee. It's basically an employee, so we're [01:07] It's basically an employee, so we're getting closer, but not there yet. Okay, a leaf blower at CES. Uh, yeah, you have to hear how quiet it is. [01:21] help reduce the noise. And the difference is dramatic compared to a difference is dramatic compared to a normal leaf blower. [01:33] >> Crazy, right? It's called Whisper Arrow and it'll cost $600. Pre-order is open now and it ships in September. Just watch out for the air intake. It'll get you. So, I've seen companies power or charge [01:47] a device from across the room at CES before, but Lockan is making my favorite available this year. They're updating their highly rated Veno Pro to charge wirelessly. You know, their lock that can open by reading the veins in the [02:01] palm of your hand. It uses this device to charge the door lock. Just plug it into the wall and it beams infrared light up to 4 m. This keeps the lock topped up on battery so it will never run out. They had it pretty far away and [02:14] it was still able to charge it. Amazing. The lock works with matter, so it's compatible with basically every smartome system and it will cost similar to the current Veno Pro at $350 and it will include the AR charge. I want this. This [02:28] tiny wheel might not seem like much, but it could change someone's life. Wheel move connects to existing wheelchairs, lifts up the front wheels, and then [music] powers the wheelchair. Sweet. It goes about 6 mph and up to 15 mi on a [02:43] charge. The controls are basic and will cost $6,000, but for a little less than that price, you can get a strut. This thing is intense. It has LAR and avoids hitting people, even though I tried multiple times on the show floor. Plus, [02:59] it's been updated to know the difference between feet and thresholds, so you can go over bumps, but not smash your friend's toes. We showed Strut last year, but it's way smarter now. and you can finally buy one this year. I'm a [03:12] can finally buy one this year. I'm a huge fan. make you depressed or excited. I saw several of these AI companion devices several of these AI companion devices around CES, but I hesitate to call them [03:27] devices because they could be someone's girlfriend, and I don't want to be disrespectful. Razer had one, plus there were these holographic fan versions. worry about this trend, but it seems like this guy is kind of into it. I've [03:43] never seen a bladeless ceiling fan before, but that's exactly what Hunter had on display. It's called the Zentac fan and comes out later this year. So, how does it cool you? Well, the whole thing spins. Wo! I personally love the [03:58] look like a fan, but let me know in the with matter, and this new smart wall panel will, too. This looks nice and replaces your light switch. It can control more than just Hunter devices [04:11] since it's a matter controller, but it's pricey at 300 bucks. Now, in the rare case your spouse is against replacing all light switches in the house for $300 all light switches in the house for $300 each, well, here's one for $30. I like [04:25] this because it can be used in smart bulb mode. That means it always keeps power to the smart bulbs in the ceiling, and you can use all the buttons on it to [music] change the colors of the smart bulbs. Nice. Plus, it uses matter over [04:37] Wi-Fi, so it should work with any smartome. They also have this cool looking RGB mirror with built-in smart home buttons. It has anti-fog and a warm and cool white light cycle for doing makeup. It comes out later this year and [04:49] will be under $200. If you hate opening and closing your wood blinds, you're going to love these new ones from Lutron. The blinds can [music] automatically tilt based on the position of the sun, so lots of natural [05:01] light, but you're not getting fried. What I liked even more was this little guy. It's basically the anti CES 2026 device. It doesn't have AI and it doesn't even connect to the internet. It's just a simple humidity sensor built [05:17] into a fan onoff switch. And since it's from Lutron, I trust it will work well. Now I don't have to nag my kids to turn on the vent fan in their bathroom. It will just turn on by itself. Next up is a personal theater experience that has [05:30] some advantages over Apple's Vision Pro. This headset is the Exio Big. Funny name because it's actually way smaller and lighter than the Vision Pro. I felt like I could wear it all day and it also has 4K in each eye. So, it was really easy [05:46] to watch a movie wearing these in the pod with 24 speakers and Top Gun Maverick playing. It was a true cinematic experience with a huge screen and audio surrounding me. They also had a racing game that was fun to try out, [06:00] but clearly I'm an Arizona driver and a pure maniac on the road. mindblowing TVs everywhere. LG over there casually using them as decoration. [06:16] But what was really impressive were the RGB miniLEDD TVs. Each individual LED can turn off the red, green, or blue light, giving you millions of dimming zones. This makes the colors more accurate, and the image looked stunning. [06:31] Expect to see this type of TV more in the near future. On the opposite end of the spectrum, this little mini folding projector from Arzen is really fun. They just announced a few accessories for it that make it really easy to watch movies [06:43] in your car, and I could see myself using this with the kids for how simple it is. Next up is Robo Rock. Today's sponsor was something that really surprised me at CES. Check this out. This robot vacuum can go up and [06:55] This robot vacuum can go up and downstairs and clean them. Finally. This is the Soros Rover, and it's still under development, but it's a real product in the works at Robo Rock. Look at it go down the ramp. Wee! The rover just seems [07:08] like it's having fun. It's even jumping. Now, these aren't full stairs, but they are really tall thresholds, and the new Sorrowos 20 handles it with no problem. This vacuum will be available this year, and it's Robbo Rock's new flagship, an [07:23] upgraded version of the Soros 10R, perfect for cleaning different lengths of carpet since it can raise up even higher now. There's also this new Curve 2 Flow, which has a big change. It's Robo Rock's first roller mop vacuum for [07:35] mopping up wet messes better, like ketchup. The mop cleans itself as it goes, and I really like the little cover that protects the carpet. Robo Rock also mop. Seriously, these make messes disappear like magic. Their new F25 [07:49] Ultra heats up and uses steam to clean, and the F-25 Ace Pro sprays foam for a deeper clean. Between all of that and their new robot lawn mower with super accurate LAR, it's clear Robbo Rock is the one to beat when it comes to [08:03] cleaning robots. Huge thanks to Robbo Rock for supporting the channel. Of course, there were robots everywhere, like more robots than I've ever seen at CES. But while some look like they wanted to hurt me, others are actually [08:16] kind of practical, like this chess playing robot. You can choose the level to compete at from beginner to grandmaster. And don't try to cheat because it will know and move the pieces back. It uses a camera, but it's all [08:29] local and it doesn't need the internet. Then there's this little dude from Booster Robotics. Well, he looks gimmicky dancing like Michael Jackson. It's actually open source, so you can code it to do anything. As a big fan of [08:42] open source projects, I approve of this. Well, maybe not a whole army of them. My kids have been begging me for a pet, but it's 2026. We don't need the warm [08:54] embrace of an animal. We have robots to play fetch with. This one is designed to play outdoors with your kids, but I wish it could be indoors cleaning up toys since it's so fast at picking things up. While this next device isn't as flashy [09:08] as high-tech robots, it's very useful. Broadlink announced their Matter Superbridge, which means IR and RF devices can easily be pulled into your smartome. From ceiling fans to AC units to curtains, basically anything that [09:21] uses a remote can be smart thanks to this bridge. Yes, Broad Link's been able they're making it way easier to integrate with other smart home systems. I like it. [music] [09:35] I've been using more rechargeable batteries lately, and this makes life a million times easier. It's the OST 2 Pro, and you just throw your rechargeable double A and AAA batteries in the top compartment. It tests and [09:47] charges them, which is displayed on the touchcreen. Then when you're ready for a drawer on the bottom and you always have some ready to go. It just launched and it's available now. And I was lucky enough to test one out for O Station and [10:00] it gets a big thumbs up for me. Accara announced a new smart lock, the U400, with a cool demo. The phone would slide over and the ultra wideband would unlock the door automatically as it got closer. No more getting out keys or typing in [10:15] codes. Just walk up to your door and it unlocks. And guess what? This isn't just for iPhones. The U400 will work with Alo, so Android phones will get all of this in the near future. Finally, iPhone and Android users can live together in [10:31] peace and unlock their door the same way. They also had a new smart Accara doorbell, you can answer it there. A little gimmicky, but here's what I really like. There's an option for a matte finish, so no fingerprints [10:45] or glare. And it works with Apple's adaptive temperature, so if you're an Apple home user, it will adjust seamlessly. Eve had their own smart thermostat, too. And this one was pretty reasonably priced at 130 bucks. And it [10:58] when guests are visiting. Just [music] tap this button, and it will temporarily skip the auto adjustments, so you can keep your house extra comfortable while people are over. The thermostat uses matter over thread, so it'll be highly [11:12] compatible and reliable in the smart home. Ally comes with me to CES every year and is a perfect test subject for this new technology. What does it do? Well, it uses haptic feedback to burn or freeze your hand. [11:25] >> Cold and hot. That's crazy. >> Thanks for taking one for the team. >> But it's cool to peek into the future with how far haptics are coming. Even on automotive touchcreens, I hate how lifeless touching a screen in my car is. [11:41] And this gives feedback that's very dialed in and feels premium. It works by screen side to side, which is pretty sweet. Inside of these glasses is a little chip that enables SLAP, simultaneous location, and mapping. The [11:55] reason why this is new is because it's so small and low power, and I can't wait with these types of glasses in the near future. [12:10] batterypowered solar cameras. The solar panels were pretty flexible to adjust, but the thing that I like the most is that you can kind of achieve 24-hour recording on these since they can record one frame per second when there's no [12:22] motion and then kick back into normal recording when it detects motion. This is a great solution for battery powered cameras and they won't charge a fee for it. But most of their new AI features like AI video summaries will cost you a [12:35] monthly fee. If you like the AI features and want to avoid a subscription, Real Link is launching an AI box that comes out in September. This will let you use natural language to create alerts. For example, only alert me when there's a [12:50] kid on my driveway with a backpack. That way, I get notified when my kid has come notifications. It'll work first with one of their newer cameras and slowly roll out to work with some of their existing cameras, too. No word yet on the price, [13:03] affordable, and I love that these features can be local. And I saved what impressed me the most for last. XJ launched my favorite smart glasses I've tried. I was shocked how easily I could read the text and view my surrounding [13:18] environment at the same time. The text is green and so clear. It was very natural to view the display and interact with people around me. The glasses are also very light and comfortable without the bulky frame that you usually see [13:31] with smart glasses. They come in different styles and three versions and cost around $600. They all have AI assistance built in, but I'm still not sure if I want AI strapped to my face all day. I had a blast at CES this year, [13:45] all day. I had a blast at CES this year, and the tech keeps getting crazier. [14:02] >> watch it, bro. Watch it. >> We drive on the right side here. >> We drive on the right side here. >> Yeah. Well, England cuz you do it wrong.
