Homecrux at IFA 2026: 50 Best Devices We Saw on the Show Floor
IFA 2026 wrapped up in Berlin today, and once again the show floor at Messe Berlin proved that no corner of the home has gone unautomated. Homecrux was on the ground at IFA 2026 and walked the halls to discover the best devices and gadgets unveiled at the show.
From a dishwasher that keeps your plates dry for a week to a robot that hands off cleaning duty to a smaller robot, here is a rundown of the 50 best devices from this year’s IFA that stuck with us.
iRobot Roomba Duo
iRobot, now owned by Shenzhen-based PICEA Robotics, unveiled Roomba Duo at IFA 2026. Currently in the prototype stage, the device pairs a full-size robot vacuum with a second, ultra-slim companion robot. The main unit picks up the companion robot with a mechanical arm and set down in spots the larger machine can’t reach, like under furniture or in tight corners. Both robots share dual-line LiDAR and AI cameras to map the home, coordinating over Wi-Fi so the main unit handles open floors while its small partner cleans up what’s left behind.

It’s among the first UST projectors to reach native 4K at 120Hz, backed by an RGB triple-laser engine and XGIMI’s Dynamic Dual Iris system for an 8,000:1 contrast ratio. At IFA, it was paired with XGIMI’s floor-rising Ascend screen for a full home-cinema setup that disappears when not in use.
Anker Soundcore Sleep Lab Pro
The Soundcore SleepLab Pro is a bedside speaker that tracks sleep without anything worn to bed. A 60GHz radar built into the speaker reads respiratory rate, heart rate, and sleep stage from across the nightstand, while the speaker itself plays soothing sounds and dims a built-in light to help you drift off, then remembers which combination of settings actually worked for you.
Philips Hue Liane Rope Light
Philips Hue’s new Liane 360-degree rope light glows evenly around its entire circumference rather than throwing light from one side, thanks to what Hue calls OmniGlow technology.
