Robotic pool cleaner with jaw-dropping 15-hour battery life revealed at CES 2025

Tech company iGarden revealed several new products at CES 2025, but the TurboX and TurboX Master robotic pool cleaners were undoubtedly the most exciting. Both are designed to make pool maintenance effortless — but it’s the TurboX Master and its staggering 15-hour runtime that stood out from the rest of the iGarden lineup.

The iGarden TurboX Master is expected to launch in April, and it’s poised to make waves in the robotic pool cleaner marketplace. While most products can only run for a few hours before needing a recharge, this one can clean for 15 hours before running out of juice. In fact, iGarden says it holds the Guinness Record for the longest continuous operation of a robotic pool cleaner. This is due to its unique AI-inverter technology, which results enhanced battery efficiency without skimping on a premium clean.

Featuring an array of infrared sensors, a gyroscope, and the ability to return to its drop-off point once its battery is drained, it’s a well-designed robot. It looks pretty sleek, too, thanks to a supercar-inspired design that looks just as good as premium pool cleaners from big names like Polaris, Aiper, and Beatbot.

Capable of cleaning both the waterline and removing algae and other stains from the pool floor, it could be a solid choice for autonomous maintenance. According to iGarden, it works with a wide variety of pool shapes and sizes, and is capable of  “cleaning every inch of your pool.”

Best of all, you can easily create cleaning schedules or specify areas that need to be tackled more often — such as walls or floors. And because the pool cleaner features a month of standby time, you won’t have to recharge the device or worry about manual maintenance very often. That means (depending on your settings and pool size), you might only need to charge the robot once a month. Considering most other robotic pool cleaners need to be recharged after each cleaning, that’s a huge win for iGarden.

Toss in a touchscreen interface, a two-year warranty, and a UV-resistant design, and the iGarden TurboX Master is definitely worth keeping an eye on. Expect to learn more about pricing in the coming weeks.

Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Pro review: A reliable kit that’s low on maintenace, high on conveniences
An easy recommendation for anyone who wants a cordless vacuum that is genuinely easy to live with.

With two young children and two dogs, my floors put vacuums through a real-world stress test every day. Between constant crumbs, pet hair, tracked-in dirt, and everything in between, there’s always something waiting to be cleaned. The Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Pro solved those those pain points for me pretty well. It can run for over an hour and a half on a single charge, while its base station dustbin capacity outpaces many standard upright vacuums that I've tested over the years.

My smart home experiment has reached its natural limit
Smart-home technology keeps improving, but being easier to automate doesn’t make everything worth automating
Computer, Electronics, Laptop, Smart Home

The first device I added to my smart home was a light bulb. It seemed like the safest possible place to start. I could turn it on from anywhere, put it on a schedule, and eventually work it into routines with everything else.

Then I tapped the button in the app and waited. The delay was only about half a second, but half a second is surprisingly noticeable when the alternative is a wall switch that responds immediately and has never once asked for a firmware update. Using my phone was worse. I had to unlock it, find the app, open the right room, and tap the light I could have switched on several steps earlier.

Google Home's latest update introduces several new features, including Gemini-powered Interactive Storytime. While I’m not sure who asked for the feature, it lets families build original stories about specific topics on the fly, instead of just listening to a known story. 

So what's the big new feature here?
