Some smart scales will also be able to measure your body fat, and you can even integrate some models with your preferred smart home platform.

Hands-On with Haier at IFA 2026: There’s a camera in everything
From AI-powered fridges and washing machines to robot-assisted laundry, Haier’s vision of the smart home is getting seriously intelligent.
If I had to sum up Haier’s entire IFA showcase in one sentence, it would be a camera here, a camera there, and a camera everywhere. But after spending some time with the products, I realised the cameras aren't really the point. The interesting part is what Haier is doing with all that visual information.
Shark ChillPill first look: A surprisingly cool EDC route to beating the heat
A triple-mode cooling gizmo that deserves a spot in your EDC kit.
I first saw the Shark ChillPill on social media and thought it looked like a pretty interesting little gadget to try. Taking it out to the golf course on a warm day seemed like the right way to put it through its paces, because the ChillPill has three different ways of cooling you down: a high-speed fan, a mister, and a chilling plate that makes direct contact with your skin. You can't use all three at once, which is a little disappointing, but I was curious to see how each one worked in the heat.
