We all expect to see crazy new gadgets like giant TVs, fancy cameras or cars that can drive themselves at CES. Here are some products that might be a bit more unexpected for CES, but still kinda cool!
Would you expect to see:
A Toothbrush?
The company Kolibree rolled out a sweet electronic toothbrush that can be connected to your device via Bluetooth — obviously! By connecting it, you can monitor and evaluate your brushing style, no longer such a simple task. The data recorded will let you know how long you brush for, how rigorous it was and whether or not you reached all of your teeth.
The company will plan on releasing several different kinds ranging from $100 – $200. And let’s be honest, there are some people out there who might just need this app to help with their dental hygiene.
A Slow Cooker?
I love my Crock-Pot. Like. Love. You put a bunch of stuff in there, set it for 8-10 hours and come home after a day of work to the most wonderful smell and your dinner ready to serve! However, some recipes don’t call for that much time, so I’ve always wished I had a Crock-Pot that I could somehow set to start in the middle of the day so that when I come home at 6, my dinner has been slowly cooking for the past 6 hours.
During CES, Belkin introduced a crock pot that you can turn on or off from anywhere. This might just be one of my faves from CES so far. Is that sad?
Like I mentioned before, you are able to turn it off or on from your iOS or Android device. You can also get reminders about the state of your meal, change the temperature and use built-in calculators for time and temp. And, the most amazing part? It’s actually not that expensive — retailing for $99.99.
A Dishwasher?
A fancy new appliance by Samsung that could be the next hot thing appliance-wise, debuted at CES as part of the “Chef Collection.” They are highlighting the “WaterWall” feature of the dishwasher which basically is the car wash of the dirty dish world.
A linear wall of water moves back and forth during the cycle to make sure that every nook and cranny of your dishes are clean. This dishwasher also includes all sorts of fancy buttons, lights and has a built-in LED display to keep you informed on the stages of your wash cycle. Neato!
