By Lulu Chang Published August 2, 2017

Staying hydrated and healthy has never been easier than it is with the StillPure under-silk filtration system from Franke. The new filtration system will not only ensure that you’ve the freshest of water from your kitchen sink, but also comes with a companion smart phone app that lets you keep tabs on your water usage by way of Bluetooth technology.

Franke claims that the StillPure filtration system removes harmful bacteria, parasites, and cysts, as well as chlorine and lead from your drinking water, therefore improving its taste, odor, and color. “Pure, pristine water is essential for everything we do in today’s health-conscious kitchen,” said Oliver Bahr, president of Franke Kitchen Systems North America. “Completely filtered water is just as important for rinsing, prepping, cooking and cleaning as it is for drinking. With Franke’s StillPure Filtration System, you’ll always have the freshest water for any purpose — where and when you need it.”

Compatible with any Franke faucet (including its famous three-in-one faucet capable of producing hot, cold, and filtered water from the same spout), the StillPure Filtration system promises to be highly discreet, keeping your sink area uncluttered. And of course, because this is a filter for your 21st-century smart home, it comes with a companion app that helps you track the number of filtered gallons of water your household consumes.

Plus, it will let you know when it’s time to change your filter so your water stays pure throughout the year. You can also re-order your filters directly from the app, making the whole process of drinking pure water quite seamless.

“Water contaminants can be invisible to the eye and even to the tongue, but with the Franke StillPure App and real-time updates that take the guess work out of knowing when to replace your filter, you’ll know for sure that your water is as pure as possible,” said Bahr. “Franke StillPure delivers the cleanest water — for the healthiest life — to the heart of your home.” The new filtration system will set you back between $95 and $945 depending on the faucet model you select, or the one you have now if you’re already a Franke customer.

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.

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.
