If keeping your knives in a drawer or in a standard knife block is just not what you had in mind for your kitchen, feast your eyes on this beauty of a knife block, by SIDD Woodworking and Design. The Tilt Knife Block ($60) displays and safely holds your finest steak knives in an elegant piece of modern woodwork. The handcrafted piece is made from a single block of solid walnut, with a Canadian Maple inlay to keep knives in place and add to the design. All the woods are sustainable and each piece is handcrafted one by one. The Tilt Knife Block is finished with natural beeswax and orange oil for a protective coating that brings out the colors and grain of the hardwoods. We can’t imagine this looking bad on anyone’s kitchen counter.

Tineco’s FLOOR ONE lineup at CES 2026 takes smart floor care to the next level

The FLOOR ONE series offers cordless and corded smart floor-care solutions that combine suction power, hot-water and steam cleaning

At CES 2026, Tineco is demonstrating how floor care can be smarter, faster, and genuinely hands-off. Rather than spotlighting a single “hero” product, the company is presenting a full suite of corded and cordless cleaners, each designed to meet specific cleaning needs, fit various home layouts, and accommodate different lifestyles. The main message is simple: premium floor care should seamlessly combine power, convenience, and automation without compromise.

There are common threads across the FLOOR ONE range. Users can expect strong suction, advanced water and steam delivery, enhanced edge performance, and hands-free self-cleaning systems. These innovations turn a traditionally manual, time-consuming task into a streamlined process, allowing households to maintain clean, dry floors without juggling multiple appliances.

Beatbot’s Sora 70 raises the bar for midrange robotic pool cleaners

Beatbot's newest robotic pool cleaner blends high-end tech with midrange practicality, signaling a shift in what everyday pool owners should expect for their money.

Beatbot Sora 70 robotic pool cleaner featured.

The Chinese robotic pool cleaner company Beatbot has announced Sora 70, the first model in its new Sora lineup. Scheduled for a spring 2026 launch, the product borrows ideas from its more expensive siblings (like the AquaSense 2 Ultra), making it a high-performance pool cleaner. However, we've been promised that the Sora 70 will target the midrange segment with a value-driven approach.

At the core of the device is the JetPulse Water Surface Cleaning dual-flow jet system, which actively collects floating debris like insects, pollen, twigs, or larger dust particles toward the suction inlet, before they sink and collect at the floor of your pool.
