The DEEBOT X1 family brings a fully automated future to life with unmatched navigation and object avoidance, NLP processing, and hands-free cleaning stations and dazzles with an iconic and timeless Jacob Jensen design. @ecovacs
ECOVACS, service robotics company and the number one selling robotic vacuum and mop globally, unleashed its market-changing DEEBOT X1 family of cleaning robots at CES 2022.
Instead of hours spent cleaning and scrubbing floors, users now have a fully automated, all-in-one solution with the ultimate goal of a cultural shift away from in-home, hands on work, to a truly hands-free and consistent cleaning experience. A 2022 CES Innovation Award Honoree, the DEEBOT X1 OMNI combined the very best in technology, design, functionality, intelligence, and interaction, where no detail was overlooked. Designed for timeless appeal and seamless functionality by Jacob Jensen Design, the DEEBOT X1 family was inspired by the design elements of a sports car, with modern, minimalist design that matches any home decor and looks like a work of art – not a bulky cleaning tool.
The future of home cleaning is realized with modern technology freeing hands from the tedious task of cleaning and giving us more time to focus on life. The DEEBOT X1 Family marks a watershed moment in cleaning innovation, with fully automated and ultra-premium robotic vacuum & mop cleaning systems now available that rival or beat any floor cleaner on the market, no matter the genre. The revolutionary DEEBOT X1 OMNI will be available in March for an MSRP of $1,549.
“Having a clean home has never been more of a priority, but modern technology has not caught up with the needs of people today – no one wants to miss out on life’s precious moments to scrub floors,” said Eric Bone, General Manager, ECOVACS Americas. “ECOVACS is championing a new era in hands-free, cleaning convenience – users now have the luxury of time to do more of what they love. We have fully automated the cleaning experience by marrying form, function, performance, and interaction in a smart robot that looks as good as it cleans. Simply put, there is nothing else even close to it on the market.”
@Masonite M-Pwr Smart Doors
Masonite M-Pwr Smart Doors are the first residential exterior doors to integrate power, lights, a video doorbell and a smart lock into the door system.
The revolutionary technology of these doors provides families with the peace of mind that they are always connected and always protected. Masonite M-PwrTM Smart Doors employ patent-pending, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certified technology to connect residential exterior doors to a home’s electrical system and wireless internet network. To ensure that the doors are “always on” in the event of a power outage, an emergency backup battery can sustain system power up to 24 hours when fully charged. The Masonite M-PwrTM smartphone app enables homeowners to remotely program and control motion-activated LED welcome lighting as well as confirm whether the door is open or closed at any time.
As a result of previously announced collaborations with Ring and Yale Home, Masonite has integrated best-in-class technology into the first edition of M-PwrTM Smart Doors. The fully integrated Ring Video Doorbells and Yale smart locks do not require individual device batteries.
Masonite M-PwrTM Smart Doors are currently offered in new home construction by Barringer Homes in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina, with additional builder partner announcements expected this year.
@TOTO WELLNESS TOILET concept
TOTO is developing a brand-new residential bathroom experience in the field of wellness – the WELLNESS TOILET concept.
TOTO participated virtually in CES 2022 and has created a new dynamic digital experience to demonstrate its technologically advanced products and cutting-edge bathroom technologies. TOTO also unveiled its entry into the wellness sector by showcasing its WELLNESS TOILET concept.
TOTO’s WELLNESS TOILET concept will use multiple cutting-edge sensing technologies to support consumers’ wellness by tracking and analyzing their mental and physical status. Each time the individual sits on the WELLNESS TOILET, it will scan their body and key outputs, then provide recommendations to improve their wellness. No additional action is needed, so people can easily check their wellness throughout their daily routine. Every time they take a bathroom break, they will see their current wellness status and receive wellness-improvement recommendations on a dashboard in an app on their smartphones.
The residential bathroom is the perfect place to support people’s wellness. While other products that track consumers’ wellness (e.g., wearable devices), it is more convenient to monitor and analyze the body as a part of the everyday routine act of using the WELLNESS TOILET, to which individuals are accustomed. Second, toilets and people have two unique touchpoints that cannot be found elsewhere – the skin and human waste. The WELLNESS TOILET is in direct contact with individuals’ skin when they are sitting on it, and it analyzes the waste they deposit, from which a wealth of wellness data can be collected.
TOTO anticipates launching the WELLNESS TOILET to the residential market in the next several years.
