Summary
Berlin’s IFA 2026 floor was dominated by home tech, with one CNET reporter highlighting 10 standout gadgets he would most want at home.
LG’s 83-inch OLED Evo AI TV, Govee smart lights, an iGulu home beer brewer and Xiaomi’s Refrigerator Pro Cryo led the wishlist of premium living-room and kitchen devices.
Xiaomi’s smart bedroom demo showed the strongest automation pitch: AI cameras detected a reader on the bed, then adjusted lighting, curtains, air conditioning and bed position automatically.
That convenience came with a privacy trade-off, since the system depends on cameras monitoring activity throughout the home.
The broader lineup stretched from Roborock’s pool-cleaning robot and Mova’s robotic mower to Neakasa’s litter box, Birdfy’s AI bird feeder and EcoFlow’s Stream 5000 backup power system.
