Ecovacs came out swinging at CES 2025, revealing a slew of smart home products running the gamut from robot vacuums and lawnmowers to bizarre window-cleaning robots. The star, however, was the Deebot X8 Pro Omni — a powerful robot vacuum that makes big changes to its mopping abilities thanks to a new collaboration with Tineco.

Though it didn’t pick up a robotic arm like the Roborock Saros Z70, the Deebot X8 Pro Omni did learn some cool new mopping techniques. There are two big upgrades here, the first being additional pressure while mopping. The X8 Pro Omni can create up to 4,000Pa pressure and spin at up to 200 rpm, which should result in better cleaning than anything else we’ve seen from Ecovacs so far. The other upgrade is a self-washing mop, which continually cleans itself while mopping your floors, ensuring every mess is tackled by a clean mop.

Other notable features of the Deebot X8 Pro Omni include 18,000Pa suction while vacuuming, a swinging side brush for better coverage around furniture, and a sliding roller mop for cleaning near baseboards. You’ll also get a charging dock that automatically removes debris from the robot’s dustbin, then washes and dries its mopping pads to prepare for the next task.

Toss in a LiDAR navigation system and a new TruEdge 3D Edge Sensor to better map your home, and it’s shaping up to be a solid choice for shoppers when it arrives on February 18. Pricing is yet to be determined.

Along with the Deebot X8 Pro Omni, Ecovacs also showed off the GOAT A1 3000. This robot lawnmower is the flagship of the GOAT lineup, featuring satellite-based RTK positioning, front-facing LiDAR, and camera vision to accurately navigate your yard. Underneath the chassis, you’ll find a dual-plate cutting system, which Ecovacs says results in increased coverage and a motor that can propel it through various types of grass.

Last but not least was the quirky Winbot W2 Pro Omni — an automatic window cleaner designed to provide streak-free cleans with little manual intervention. Its portable docking station can charge the robot, allowing it to recharge its battery as it’s cleaning, ensuring it won’t run out of juice while tackling large projects. It’s best suited for large windows and uses an industry-first three-nozzle sprayer to deal with stains and clean glass surfaces crystal clear.

Expect to learn more about pricing and release dates in the coming weeks.

Robotic pool cleaner with jaw-dropping 15-hour battery life revealed at CES 2025
iGarden TurboX Master

Tech company iGarden revealed several new products at CES 2025, but the TurboX and TurboX Master robotic pool cleaners were undoubtedly the most exciting. Both are designed to make pool maintenance effortless -- but it’s the TurboX Master and its staggering 15-hour runtime that stood out from the rest of the iGarden lineup.

The iGarden TurboX Master is expected to launch in April, and it’s poised to make waves in the robotic pool cleaner marketplace. While most products can only run for a few hours before needing a recharge, this one can clean for 15 hours before running out of juice. In fact, iGarden says it holds the Guinness Record for the longest continuous operation of a robotic pool cleaner. This is due to its unique AI-inverter technology, which results enhanced battery efficiency without skimping on a premium clean.

The Dreame Z1 Pro Robotic Pool Cleaner takes the hassle out of pool maintenance

Robot vacuums are out. Robot pool cleaners are in (the deep end). In addition to the noteworthy Dreame X50 Ultra, the company has introduced the Z1 Pro robotic pool cleaner. At first glance, it looks like the world's bulkiest robovac. With large treads instead of wheels and dual brushes on the front, the Z1 Pro looks like a cross between a tank and spaceship.

There's a reason it's significantly larger than household bots, though. Navigating through the water is more difficult from a physical standpoint, but it's also trickier for the navigation system. The Z1 Pro utilizes a combination of ultrasound, 3D structured light, and infrared to make its way through the depths, but what stands out most is its ability to handle elevation shifts. Early models of robot pool cleaners struggled with dips in the floor of the pool, but the Z1 Pro can clean not just the floor but also the walls (by literally climbing them) and the surface of the water. It will float atop your pool and act as a skimmer, too.

Ring shows off new Kidde smoke alarms and free 2K camera upgrades at CES 2025

Ring made a big -- though rather surprising -- announcement at CES 2025, revealing that it has partnered with Kidde to launch a new collection of smart smoke alarms. Arriving in April, the collection includes the Kidde Smart Smoke Alarm and Combination Alarm, the latter of which detects both smoke and carbon monoxide. They’ll sync with the existing Ring app to send users alerts should anything trigger its sensors, and they should be an enticing option for folks who have already bought into the Ring ecosystem.

While customers will receive alerts via the mobile app, they can also sign up for the new Ring 24/7 Smoke & CO Monitoring Subscription for $5 per month. This is a professional monitoring service that lets a trained dispatch team keep tabs on your detectors -- and if they’re triggered, the dispatch team can automatically contact emergency services and send them to your home. That should provide more peace of mind than your normal smoke alarms, which might ring out loud and clear but can’t alert the fire department.
