Bizarre Tech at CES 2026: Highlights So Far

The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is renowned for showcasing some of the most peculiar and innovative tech gadgets each year. CES 2026 continues this tradition with an array of oddities, from robots that can do your laundry to hair grooming tools enhanced by artificial intelligence, and even lollipops that let you feel the music through your jaw.

Uncommon Tech Highlights

Below is a collection of the most unusual devices we've encountered at CES 2026 so far.

1. C-200 UltraSonic Chef's Knife

This isn't your everyday culinary tool: vibrating at a staggering 30,000 times per second, this knife slices through ingredients with minimal effort. Although you won't detect the vibrations, the experience of cutting vegetables is noticeably smoother when the feature is activated, and the blade stays cleaner due to reduced food adhesion. It's available for preorder at $399.

2. Lollipop Star: Musical Flavor Experience

Imagine a lollipop that lets you hear music by transmitting sounds through the bones in your head. After trying it, I found that it required a firm bite to clearly hear the tunes, but it delivered as promised. This fascinating yet single-use gadget is priced at $8.99.

3. Vinabot: AI-Enhanced Conversation Frame

Inspired by the animated, speaking portraits from the Harry Potter series, this frame allows you to upload an image and script, creating an AI-driven video capable of having a dialogue. Whether featuring a favorite celebrity or a personal photo, it is set to launch on Kickstarter.

4. Glyde: Smart Hair Cutting Innovation

Looking for an intelligent solution to haircutting? Meet the world's first smart hair clipper. Simply pick from various hairstyles available in the app, and this tool uses sensors to adjust in real time for consistent results, eliminating uneven or excessive cuts.

5. Skwheel Peak S: The All-Terrain Electric Skis

Dream of skiing anywhere, from pavement to sand? Skwheel Peak S electric skis make it possible. Currently available for preorder at a special rate of €1,490, these skis let you enjoy the slopes in unconventional environments.
