CES Always packed with the latest and The coolest technologybut only a handful of what’s debuting at the world’s largest tech trade show are truly breaking the Internet (and by Internet, we actually mean CNET viewership).
in CES 2026 livefew products have taken over our headlines and social media feeds. They promised comfort, exploited cultural tensions or were dangerously technologically advanced.
These five products were the most popular on CNET during CES 2026. Not to be confused with… Best technology Which won CNET Group Awards.
The LG Signature washer and dryer is capable of completing a 10-pound load of laundry in less than 90 minutes.
LG’s latest ventless Signature lineup has become one of CNET’s most-watched CES products by doing something a little less technologically radical but something all other hybrid washer-dryer models have failed to do before: wash and dry clothes in less than 90 minutes. Anyone who has owned a washer-dryer hybrid knows that drying clothes alone in one of these machines can take up to two hours, so this is a huge upgrade – not only in time but also in space in your home.
This life-size doll features a realistic silicone exterior, a fully poseable internal skeleton and limited facial movement.
Lovense’s Emily wasn’t just one of CNET’s most viewed CES products. It has also been one of the most discussed topics on our social media. Robots aren’t new to CES, but Emily marked a notable shift in how intimacy technology is presented. Rather than presenting Emily as an innovative sex toy, Lovens presented the robot as part of a broader artificial intelligence system designed to learn and adapt over time while simulating emotional connection. This framework pushed the conversation beyond devices and into more uncomfortable territory: AI companionship, emotional dependency, and the blurred line between interaction and connection.
Solid-state battery technology is the holy grail for electric vehicle engineers.
Any solid-state battery announcement is sure to attract attention, and Donut Labs’ debut was no exception. The brand unveiled a solid-state battery design that promises lighter battery packs, higher power density, faster charging, and improved safety and stability compared to lithium-ion batteries.
We watched CLOiD fold several dish towels and put them to the side.
I have yet to meet someone who truly enjoys folding laundry, and the laundry folding robot was an instant hit. For many years, the idea of robots folding clothes seemed like a dream that would never come true, but LG’s CLOiD has shown us a different home reality. CNET’s David Watsky said that although the robotic assistant was slow, it did a pretty good job of folding. Now, can she also put away clothes, load the dishwasher, and mop the floors?
Here’s how good the displays are.
TLC’s Rayneo viewing glasses stood out to CNET editors and readers because they actually look nice (and aren’t bulky) and are focused on offering better screen quality. These glasses feature improved resolution, higher pixel density and more vivid color reproduction, resulting in clearer and more immersive viewing experiences compared to previous generations of wearable displays.
