23 Fascinating Home Tech Gadgets We Saw at CES 2025, the Biggest Tech Show on Earth

As CES 2025 comes to a close, we're taking stock of the best home gear and gadgets the massive industry trade show had to offer. As in years past, robots and AI made a splash on the convention floor, but 2025's edition of the mega show ushered in several firsts in consumer home technology.

While some of the stuff we saw, touched and tested isn't yet on the market, much of it is available to preorder now. If you're aching to make your smart home even smarter, here's a roundup of the best products we found at CES 2025.

Roborock's upcoming vacuum, the Saros Z70, comes with one amazing and never-before-done feature: a mechanical arm. That means that this smart vacuum will not only get rid of dust and dirt on your floors, but will also also pick up anything in its path, and we watched it happen. 

It's expected to be available for purchase sometime this year, but a price or release date have not yet been announced.

A brand new robotic lawn mower, the Lymow One, aims to keep your yard in tip-top shape while simultaneously handling rough terrain thanks to its ThunderTank-style tracks. But there's something even more groundbreaking than a self-navigating mower that sets this one apart. This technology promises to turn leaves, branches and any other debris in your yard into mulch in the process.

It is available for preorder now and set to be delivered to customers in April of this year. 

This all-new, AI-powered smart planter aims to create the perfect watering schedule for your houseplant. The LeafyPod pairs with a smartphone app that will alert you if it needs more or less light, or a change in scenery.

It's currently available for preorder and is expected to ship in the spring.

Robovacs keep getting smarter: The Eureka J15 Max Ultra can detect spills by using AI. Plus, the wet/dry robovac can untangle itself before it gets clogged with hair like a traditional vacuum. 

However, this high-end tech doesn't come cheap. It's expected to launch in June with a price tag of $1,299.

Petcube's newest device, Petcube Fountain, is designed to keep your pets drinking water just as clean as yours. The smart fountain features a UV-C anti-bacterial light and four-layer filtration system that Petcube promises will remove bacteria and prevent the growth of any new bacteria to ensure your pet is drinking the highest quality water possible. 

It's available for preorder for $90 and will ship in March. 

Oftentimes when we spend a hot summer day at the beach or park, we lug a cooler full of ice around with us and hope the ice lasts until at least lunchtime. Anker, best known for battery packs, is hoping to simplify this process with its upcoming electric cooler, the Anker Solix EverFrost 2. 

The company says the cooler is set up to provide air-cooled refrigeration by using a detachable 288-watt-hour LFP battery, which will give you more than two days -- up to 52 hours -- of cooling time. 

The EverFrost 2 electric cooler are set to come in three sizes: 23, 40 and 58 liters. The 40 and 58 will be available for preorder starting Feb. 21. The 23-liter model is expected to launch later this year. 

The Apecoo tortilla and roti maker quickly caught the attention of our team on the ground at CES 2025 when it churned out a warm and flaky tortilla in under a minute.

But this type of tech doesn't come cheap. The Apecoo is expected to hit the market in a couple of months for $899. 

The worst part of a long power outage is the perishables in your fridge getting spoiled. While whole home batteries can help offer backup power, the installation for them is complicated and often costly. The idea behind Biolite is that it works just as well a a home battery backup, but it's limited to just one or two key appliances. 

You get a slim pair of battery units with 3 kilowatt-hours of energy, giving them enough power to run a standard fridge for a couple of days. The BioLite Core will run you $1,999 while the Complete retails for $2,999. It should start shipping later this year, but you can reserve a unit now. 

If you're tired of asking your neighbors to pick up your delivered packages or checking your Ring Camera all day long to ensure they stay put on your porch until you get home, this outdoor locker is for you. 

The Hyve, a smart home delivery pod, includes tampering warnings and has an app so owners can disarm the pod in order to allow delivery drivers to securely drop off packages inside. It will be available in June for $300. 

You can make sparkling water at home, at your office or even on a hike with this revolutionary water bottle and lid. The Roam SodaTop bottle uses a CO2 cartridge in the lid to turn still water into carbonated water within seconds. The cartridge will need to be replaced for every liter of water, and the device is expected to hit the market early this year with a price of $50. 

The company also told CNET it is working on adding flavors to the cartridges, too. Watch us test the upcoming device in real time here and sign up for updates on the release schedule.

Cooling down your hot food or drink may not seem too difficult of a task, but if you're in a rush or multitasking, every little bit of help is welcomed -- especially when it's this cute. Nékojita FuFu is a small portable robot that perfectly sits on your coffee mug or bowl and blows on your food and drink for you.

The device will be available for purchase later this year and will run $25. 

With electric vehicles and high-power appliances demanding more power in your home, a utility service upgrade may seem like a necessary expense. Not if Savant has its way. The Smart Budget system can be added to an existing electrical panel. It comes with software that gives you complete control over your home's energy usage so that power demands never exceed the supply. You can prioritize how power is used, monitor live consumption, shed necessary loads and balance usage within your service line limit. 

The Savant Smart Budget system will cost you $1,500 and it'll be available in the second quarter of this year. 

The EHS Mono R32 HT is bigger than your typical heat pump condenser unit, but it's for good reason. 

The air-to-water heat pump is built to concentrate the thermal energy outside of your home into warm water that flows directly into a water tank inside and into your home's faucets. Samsung is even working to have the device get water hot enough to flow into radiators and replace a fossil fuel-powered boiler.

It's not yet on sale, but is expected to be available toward the end of the year. 

Today's video doorbells let you access live views (and sometimes video recordings) at any time through phone apps or smart displays like an Amazon Echo. When someone rings my Nest Doorbell, I get an automatic live peek at them from my Nest Hub Max display. But that handy trick requires connecting often-expensive additional technology: SwitchBot produced a more efficient, affordable and user-friendly option at CES 2025.

The SwitchBot Doorbell comes with its own 4.3-inch video monitor for looking out the 2K-resolution doorbell (complete with AI motion detection) and talking to who's there. 

You can put this video display wherever you're working, or mount it to an accessible wall. And with the extra-large, easy-to-use buttons, it's an effective option for aging-in-place use as well. Plus, it's one of the only doorbells I've seen with an adhesive mount option.

Much home security tech is focused on the front door. At CES 2025, we saw home security companies make plans to combine it all into one device. The result? Smart video locks from brands like Lockly and TCL that do a little of everything.

These locks monitor door access and allow for keypad passes, fingerprints or even Apple Home Keys like the best smart locks around. But, like the best video doorbells, the locks also have high-resolution cameras that can detect people, send alerts to your phone and enable two-way communication from apps. And instead of connecting a third-party screen, they have built-in displays on the lock so you can see who is approaching the door, without the need for a peephole or other devices.

Lockly's Vision Prestige is a particular standout here with its touchscreen keypad and Apple compatibility, but when it arrives later this year you'll have to dish out $500 for this all-in-one security tech. 

The Zero Breeze Mark 3 uses heat pump technology to bring more than twice the cooling power of its predecessor -- 5,280 BTUs of cooling. For heating, which its predecessor wasn't capable of, it brings 5,800 BTUs. It can also work as a dehumidifier. And it's got a hose for active draining, so you don't need to worry about emptying it of condensation.

The unit can heat or cool a space of about 100 to 150 square feet -- about the size of one small room, a van or trailer. It's currently available for purchase for $1,899.

The Gradient All-Weather 120V Window Heat Pump can keep a home warm when the mercury outside drops to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The All-Weather model, built to meet the needs of the New York City Housing Authority, is rated for weather down to minus-13 degrees. 

It has an MSRP of $3,800.
