Amazon’s Echo smart speakers are extremely helpful devices for every family, and if you’re interested in buying one or you’re planning to add more to your home, you should check out this offer for the Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen. Originally $50, it’s down to just $38 following a 24% discount. However, as with all Amazon Echo deals, the savings of $12 will only be available for a limited time. You’re going to have to be quick if you want to take advantage of this bargain!

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen smart speaker

If you’re having trouble deciding which Amazon Echo should you buy, you should set your sights on the Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen if you want a smaller version of the Alexa-powered smart speaker for your workspace, or if you love the convenience of a smart home system that you can access from anywhere around the house. Compared to the Amazon Echo Dot 4th Gen, the latest model of the device offers an improved audio experience for clearer vocals and more vibrant sound, the addition of temperature and motion sensors to work with other smart home devices like smart thermostats and smart lights, and built-in Eero compatibility so that it can serve as a satellite router to your mesh Wi-Fi system.

In our Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen vs Amazon Echo Spot comparison, we acknowledged the usefulness of the Amazon Echo Spot‘s touchscreen. However, because of the more affordable price of the Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen — even more so with this ongoing discount — it’s a more practical option for most shoppers that’s perfect for the kitchen, living room, or home office as it comes with many of the same features.

Don’t miss this chance to buy the Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen at 24% off, as this is an excellent opportunity to buy multiples of the smart speaker to equip several rooms in the house. It’s on sale for $38, for savings of $12 on the device’s sticker price of $50, but time is likely running out. The Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen smart speaker may be back to its regular price as soon as tomorrow, so if you’re interested, we highly recommend pushing forward with your purchase immediately.

This wild new TV mount moves your screen without you touching it

TVs can already adjust their picture and sound without much help from you. Perlegear now wants the physical screen to adapt to you as well.

Indoors, Interior Design, Lamp

TVs have become incredibly smart over the years. They can automatically tweak picture quality, adjust sound for your room, and recommend what you should watch next. Yet once you bolt one to the wall, there’s one decidedly old-fashioned thing about it: it’s staying exactly where you put it.

Perlegear has an interesting solution at IFA 2026. The company is showing off the AX1 Smart Adaptive Mount, a motorized TV mount that detects where you’re watching from and automatically moves the television to a more comfortable height. It’s an idea that sounds a little excessive until you think about how many different ways we use TVs today. You might be sitting on the couch for a movie, standing up for a workout, playing a motion-controlled game, or have kids watching from the floor. The ideal screen position for one isn’t necessarily great for the others.

iRobot’s new Roomba concept uses a piggybacking sidekick to reach tight spaces

The Roomba Duo pairs a powerful floor washer with a smaller robot built to clean hard-to-reach spots.

Robot vacuums have long forced buyers to choose between cleaning power and clearance. Heavy-duty wet-dry models pack enough scrubbing force to tackle stubborn, sticky messes, but their bulky frames often can't squeeze under low furniture. Slim robot vacuums can glide beneath sofas and beds, but they typically lack the muscle to do much more than sweep up light dust. iRobot's new Roomba Duo concept, unveiled at IFA 2026 in Berlin, aims to solve this problem with an unconventional approach that involves deploying two specialized robots to work as a team.

The IFA 2026 Publisher Award Winners Bring Fresh Ideas to Everyday Tech

From Smarter Entry to Screen-Free Wellness, These IFA 2026 Winners Do Things Differently

IFA 2026 Publisher Awards

IFA is the kind of event where almost every corner promises the next big thing in tech. Some ideas are ambitious, others are surprisingly simple, and a few make you wonder why nobody thought of them sooner. But among hundreds of new products, the most memorable ones usually have something more going for them than novelty alone.

This year’s IFA Publisher Award winners are a good example. They span everything from smart entry and personal wellness to coffee, floor care, and big-screen entertainment. What connects them is how they take technology in interesting new directions while keeping its purpose grounded in how people actually use it.
