CES 2024 saw more real product launches than any CES in recent memory. And these are the products I wouldn’t hesitate to buy.
In recent years, CES has gained a reputation for being a show of splashy introductions of products that will never come to market — even though the roots of CES are based in retail stores previewing the year’s upcoming products to decide what to stock on their shelves. Thankfully, CES 2024 had no shortage of real product launches along with strong pitches for recently released tech gadgets.
I’ve been very impressed with the quality of Roborock’s robot vacuums for the past couple years, because even though they weren’t first to market they have out-innovated the industry to create 2-in-1 robots that vacuum, mop, and work more reliably than their competitors. I was even more impressed after talking to Roborock’s president Quan Gang at CES, where he told me that the first two products that Roborock ever made they scrapped because they weren’t happy with the quality and the third product had to succeed because they were out of money. It was an instant hit and now they are one of the top-selling robovac makers globally.
But the product I loved from CES wasn’t a robovac. It’s a smart, upright, wet/dry vacuum called the Roborock Flexi Pro (because sometimes a robovac can’t get everywhere or you just need a quick cleanup).
