CES 2026 continues to deliver its signature blend of groundbreaking innovation and head-scratching oddities. Beyond the serious tech announcements, the show floor in Las Vegas is packed with gadgets that are strange, funny, and unexpectedly compelling. Here are some of the most bizarre and fascinating devices we have encountered so far. Dreame Cyber X robot vacuum This robot vacuum takes home cleaning into uncharted territory. The Cyber X features a set of chunky, treaded legs that allow it to climb full-sized staircases like a miniature tank. In demonstrations, it navigated steps up and down with surprising confidence. The vacuum unit docks inside the climbing rig, meaning the system is designed to transport your cleaner to another floor rather than clean the stairs themselves. For anyone tired of carrying a vacuum upstairs, it presents a novel, if slightly unsettling, solution. OlloBot The companion robot category at CES has a new standout contender. OlloBot is a unique cyber pet that blends elements of a penguin and something extraterrestrial, complete with a warm, furry, telescoping neck. Its face is a tablet display used for showing expressions, photos, and messages. It is designed to develop a personality over time based on interactions with your household. Perhaps its most intriguing feature is a removable heart-shaped module that stores the robot’s memories, allowing for a theoretical soul transfer to a new body if the original breaks. ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo ASUS has embraced chaotic CES energy with the Zephyrus Duo, a gaming laptop that crams two 16-inch OLED displays into a single machine. It uses a detachable keyboard and a built-in kickstand, allowing users to arrange the screens stacked, side-by-side, or in various other configurations. It is a hefty, ambitious, and undoubtedly expensive concept for gamers or creators who want a highly portable dual-screen workstation. Throne toilet computer Throne is a device that firmly places health tracking in the bathroom. This toilet-mounted computer uses cameras and microphones to analyze your bowel movements, aiming to establish a personal baseline and flag changes that could indicate digestive or metabolic issues. It is particularly targeted at users of GLP-1 drugs. While its effectiveness remains to be seen, it represents a new frontier in personal data collection. Vivoo Hygienic FlowPad smart menstrual pad Vivoo is another company exploring health tech in the bathroom. Alongside a clip-on smart toilet that analyzes urine for hydration markers, it unveiled a smart menstrual pad. The pad uses microfluidics to track fertility and hormone data, which can be scanned and read via a smartphone app. It is a bold example of the show’s theme of quantifying every aspect of personal health. Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable Lenovo’s gaming concept laptop features a display that can physically expand. The 16-inch screen can stretch sideways into an ultra-wide format at the touch of a button, aiming to create an immersive cockpit experience for flight and racing sims. It is an impractical but thrilling piece of tech theater that perfectly captures the spirit of CES concepts. Lenovo ThinkBook XD Rollable Another rollable concept from Lenovo, the ThinkBook XD Rollable, takes a different approach. Its flexible display not only grows taller but also wraps over the lid of the laptop to create an external screen for someone sitting across from you. It is a futuristic idea that seems tailored for specific scenarios like retail or hospitality, proving Lenovo is experimenting with screens on every surface. OhDoki Handy 2 Pro This upgraded personal pleasure device arrived at CES with a focus on power. The Handy 2 Pro boasts a five-hour battery and an unlocked Turbo mode described aggressively as overclocked. In a curious twist, it also includes a feature to charge your phone, blending pleasure with a dash of practicality. iPolish Bringing sci-fi nail tech to life, iPolish offers press-on acrylic nails that can change color. Using an electric charge, the nails can switch between hundreds of colors in seconds. It is a fun, surprisingly affordable, and delightfully impractical gadget for customizable self-expression. Hisense S6 FollowMe display Despite its name, the FollowMe display does not autonomously follow you. It is a 32-inch 4K smart display on wheels that you manually move from room to room. With Wi-Fi 6, a camera, far-field mics, and a 10-hour battery, it delivers modern functionality with a nostalgic TV-on-a-cart vibe. GE Profile Smart Fridge This smart fridge tackles a common kitchen problem: forgetting what is inside. A camera in the crisper records contents, and a barcode scanner built into the water dispenser can add items to a shopping list with a quick wave. Its AI is designed to answer practical questions, making a compelling case for a voice assistant on a refrigerator. L’Oréal LED eye mask L’Oréal’s beauty tech includes an LED eye mask made from ultra-thin, semi-transparent silicone with visible microcircuitry, giving it a distinct sci-fi aesthetic. It uses controlled red and near-infrared light in 10-minute sessions and is being developed alongside a companion serum for skincare.
