OdaKitchen's Smoothie Pro blender will pulverize just about anything

OdaKitchen Smoothie Pro
Why pay someone to blend your fruit for you when you have a commercial grade blender at home? Really, there’s no need to shell out oodles of money on macerated fruit, and it’s all thanks to the OdaKitchen Smoothie Pro. This commercial-standard smoothie maker (which is to say, blender) has just made its Indiegogo debut, and while it promises big power, it carries a relatively little price.

The blender features powerful motors that will spin at the high speed of 39,000 RPM in an alternating fast-and-slow pattern to ensure maximum blending efficiency. For comparison, Vitamix blenders are said to spin at about 28,500 RPM (though they’re advertised at around 37,000 RPM). Of course, what this means is to take all advertising with a hefty grain of salt.

In any case, the motor features full copper wires and a thickened rotor, which means it ought to have a longer life span and a lower noise level. And thanks to its carbon steel blades, each of which feature both blunt and sharp sides, you should have evenly blended smoothies and shakes every time.

“You’ll never see any leafy chunks, chewable seeds, or uneven ice cubes in your smoothie,” said ODA founder Oscar Chow “OdaKitchen blenders let everyone make the most healthy and tasty smoothies in seconds by applying cutting-edge technology into the product. It pulverizes the toughest ingredients to the most absorbable states, creating the smooth-as-silk smoothie that tastes like the creamy, indulgent milkshakes of your childhood.”

With the blender’s preprogrammed cycles, users can make anything from baby food to soup to ice cream to nut butter. And regardless of what you make, ODA says that the square-designed pitcher of the Smoothie Pro allows for a “unique controlled vortex, automatically pulling the ingredients back to the blades for faster, smoother blends.” There’s also a self-cleaning setting that should make the cleanup process entirely effortless.

While other powerful blenders tend to be bulky and unwieldy, this appliance promises to be compact and easy to store. You can pre-order a Smoothie Pro now for $299 on Indiegogo, with an estimated delivery date of November 2017.

Beatbot reveals futuristic AquaSense 2 Series pool cleaners at CES 2025
Beatbot AquaSense 2

The original AquaSense Series was wildly popular when it hit the market in early 2024, and at CES 2025, Beatbot officially revealed its successor, the AquaSense 2 Series. Consisting of three robotic pool cleaners and starting at $1,500, Series 2 models are designed to automate all aspects of pool cleaning. The high-end AquaSense 2 Ultra even incorporates AI technology into the mix, promising a superior clean.

AquaSense 2 is the most affordable of the trio at $1,499, yet the three-in-one pool cleaner is still pretty well-rounded. It can clean floors, walls, and the waterline, and can run for up to four hours before needing a recharge. Toss in obstacle detection, four unique cleaning modes, and an array of 16 sensors, and it’s well-suited for most pools.

Nanoleaf revealed a bunch of new products at CES 2025. Along with the usual lineup of smart lights, it also debuted an LED Light Therapy Face Mask, marking the brand’s first foray into the wellness industry. Like most light therapy masks, the one from Nanoleaf looks a bit terrifying. But since it’s an advanced Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Level 2 certified skincare device, it’ll likely become a popular choice among shoppers.

The Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask is now available for preorder and costs $150. That makes it much more affordable than other devices, which can climb over $500. Despite the low price, it’s packed with useful features. This includes clinically proven red and Near Infrared Light (NIR) treatments to reduce fine lines, acne, and uneven skin tone, as well as stimulate collagen production.

The Dreame X50 Ultra robot vacuum can hop over small obstacles with ease
Dreame X50 Ultra

Robot vacuums offer a lot of convenience — provided you only need to clean one level. If an area is separated by steps, the robot needs a bit of help getting from one elevation to another. The Dreame X50 Ultra, the newest flagship vacuum from Dreame, has a lift system that allows it to climb over small steps up to 6 centimeters (about 2.36 inches) in height. The ProLeap System is among the first of its kind, with levers that let it hop over obstacles like cords, transition strips, and much more.

The Dreame X50 Ultra also comes with the VersaLift Navigation System that lets it drop low enough to clean under furniture like beds and couches. It drops the turret — the round part on top of the robot — and uses its onboard cameras to navigate around and avoid obstacles. With a clearance of 89mm, the Dreame X50 Ultra is the limbo champion of robot vacuums. It recognizes more than 200 potential obstacles and navigates around them.
