Lymow is hoping to shake up the robotic lawn mower industry later this year with the Lymow One — an upcoming mower equipped with mulching blades and unique tracked treads. The team’s goal is to “fully replace traditional mowers,” making your lawn maintenance routine easier than ever before. The Lymow One was on full display at CES 2025, and it boasts an impressive list of stats that make it a smart home gadget to watch ahead of its launch in April.

One of the most exciting aspects of the Lymow One is its mowing deck, which houses professional-grade mulching blades. These are common on ride-on and traditional lawnmowers and should provide a better cut than the metal sheet swing blades found on many other robotic lawn mowers. The two blades are powered by a brushless motor capable of a peak output of 1,200 watts (spinning them at 6,000 RPM and cutting at a width of 16 inches). In other words, it should have no problem cutting through even the most overgrown of backyards.

To navigate your property, the Lymow One is equipped with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) satellite positioning and Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) technology. This means you don’t need to install cumbersome boundary wires and can easily map your property or set up “Restricted Zones” for it to avoid.

You’ll also find multiple sensors inside the robot to prevent unexpected collisions and a safety sensor that can stop the blades in under a second if the robot is picked up off the ground.

Along with accurately mapping your yard, the sensors allow the Lymow One to create gorgeous striped patterns throughout your yard, much like a traditional mower. There’s even the option to adjust the overlap between stripes to create checkerboard and diamond grid patterns.

Powering the mower forward is a tracked tread propulsion system, which allows it to navigate rough terrain and clear obstacles up to 2 inches tall. The tread and motor allow it to climb slopes up to 45 degrees, and it has enough power to cut up to 0.23 acres per hour and up to 1.73 acres per day (the device will need to charge after cutting just over 0.50 acres).

All those features come at a price — the Lymow One is expected to cost $2,999. Preorders are now available at the Lymow website. You can also check out our roundup of the best robot lawn mowers for alternatives.

Roborock shows off highly automated robot vacuums at CES 2024
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra placed in its dock.

Roborock is responsible for many of the best robot vacuums, and this year is shaping up to be another big one for the company. A whole fleet of robot vacuums were on display at CES 2024, including the highly automated S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Max Ultra -- both of which can connect to your home drainage system to automatically empty and refill their water reservoirs.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is the most luxurious of the bunch, offering a self-maintained cleaning system that will empty water tanks, refill water tanks, dispense detergent, wash its mop with hot water, and dry its mop with warm air. All this is possible due to its newfound ability to connect to your home's built-in drain lines, removing the need for you to fuss around with dirty water tanks or refill water reservoirs (which is arguably the worst part of owning a robot vacuum).

Narwal’s ‘hairodynamic’ robot mops debut at CES 2024

Narwal -- a brand known for crafting popular robot mops -- took the stage during CES 2024 to debut the Narwal Freo X Ultra and Narwal Freo X Plus. Billed as the "smartest, most powerful, and quietest vacuum mops in the world," Narwal is hoping they make a splash in the world of smart home automation. (It appears to have the specs to back up the claims.)

The Narwal Freo X Ultra is the most compelling of the duo, boasting an impressive 8,200 Pa of suction. That puts it near the top of the pack, competing with products like the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra (6,000 Pa) and the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni (8,000 Pa). And because it can compress the dust into its onboard dustbin, you'll only need to empty it every 60 days.

Baracoda may not be as well-known as other smart home brands like Wyze and iRobot, but the health tech company had one of the coolest product reveals at CES 2024 with the BMind Smart Mirror. Designed to improve your mental wellness by identifying your mood and managing stress with AI, the unique product walked away from the show with a 2024 CES Innovation Award.

BMind uses generative AI and natural language processing to determine the user's mood before suggesting various exercises like guided meditation or self-affirmations. Put simply, it'll try to determine your needs based on your voice, posture, and other observable factors. The end goal is to help improve your mood using a variety of exercises, lights, sounds, and visuals -- all of which are carried on board in the mirror.
