CES is a hub for crazy gadgets. While I’m just attending the show virtually, there are some gadgets I really want to bring home.

Foolishly, I thought I’d visit the mega-show (or any other events) in 2022. But here I am, sitting in my home, and facing another lockdown. Now I’ll be spending more time indoors, there’s only one thing that’ll soothe me: gadgets. So here’s a list of all the cool shit at CES 2022 that really want (but don’t really need). Last year, one of the costliest items on my list was a $16,000 bathtub from Kohler. This year, I’m picking a slightly more ‘affordable’ product from the company: PerfectFill. This new offering can fill (or drain) your bathtub with just a voice command. You can use the app to choose your perfect temperature and level of water. PerfectFill comes with a drain kit and a digital value to measure these things. In the app, you can specify up to 10 bath times, so there’s no feud between family members. You’ll be able to pre-order PerfectFill later this year at $2,700. There’s no better childhood memory than your parents reprimanding you about not brushing your teeth properly. Guess what? You can relive that experience with Oral-B’s new iO10 — a toothbrush that has an in-built coach.
