CES 2025: 10 devices you can actually find useful

CES, if you didn’t know, stands for Consumer Electronics Show, and this annual showcase of innovations has been with us since 1967. This year’s event covers all the bases and then some: in addition to the expected new products presentations, there’s a dense program of keynotes and discussions that add gravity to the fair, making it more than just an exhibition.

So, in this piece, we give you not the quantum computing stuff or personal AI boxes but novelties that you can actually find useful in your daily life. Well, most of them, anyway.

Roborock Saros Z70

Unveiled at CES 2025, this is a robotic vacuum with a hand capable of lifting objects obstructing its movement (socks, small toys, etc.).

Roborock Saros Z70 launches globally in mid-2025.

Moreover, the fridge has a unique Peltier module on board completing the circuit with a traditional compressor; it activates when the doors are frequently opened or something hot is put in, and cools the space down very quickly. The capacity of Samsung's AI Hybrid Cooling refrigerator is 900 liters. While specific release dates have not been disclosed, the company has indicated that these innovative refrigerators will be available for consumers later this year.

Somewhat bizarre unconventional stuff unveiled at CES 2025

Mirumi Robot

Humanity has arrived at a point where it can make robots that don’t actually do any work: at CES 2025, Yukai Engineering, a Japanese startup, gave the public its Mirumi Robot, which essentially is a purse accessory. The “Robot” part of the name is justified, though: designed like a little furry animal with long hands to cling to the bag’s handles, the device has motion and distance sensors that enable it to react to people in the vicinity. The reaction aims to elicit a smile: the robot shyly hides its face and then peeks out, just like a child would do. Expected to arrive in stores in the middle of 2025, this piece of next-gen bag decoration will retail for about $70, if the crowdfunding campaign launched to support the production works out.

Kirin Holdings Electric Salt Spoon

To function properly, a human being needs a small amount of sodium, which is the key component of salt. In many cuisines, however, the dishes are excessively salty, and thus unhealthy. Addressing the respective concern, Kirin Holdings came up with the idea of a spoon that amplifies saltiness and the umami flavor by applying a mild current. While the idea of using electricity in such a context isn’t new, the realization is. CES experts gave the invention Innovation Awards in both Digital Health and Accessibility & Age Tech categories. The spoon will be available for ordering worldwide in mid-2025.
