CES 2025, the annual consumer tech conference held in Las Vegas, is upon us — and this is where you can find all of our live updates. Over the next few days, TechCrunch reporters will be on the ground giving you the latest announcements and product reveals from Samsung,

CES is known for splashy TV and laptop launches, but in 2025, there were more than a few companies trying to make waves with robot vacuums, too. After years where it seemed like vacuuming, mopping, and self-emptying might be the peak of a robot vacuum’s abilities,

Since all different modes rely on the same motor, you might expect them all to offer the same level of suction, but that's not quite the case. In robot vacuum mode, the E20 offers 8,000 Pa of suction power, but switch it over to stick mode, and you'll get a massive 30,000 Pa.

As always, CES is home to a treasure trove of tech products — some of them cool, some "meh," some just plain bizarre. (I'll never forget the WheeMe rolling robotic back massager of a few years ago. Shockingly, that never made it to market.)

Every year at CES, there's a fleet of new robot vacuums that are announced which promise to keep your home cleaner, avoid objects, and pick up dirt and mop your floors better than before. However, at CES 2025, it feels like there's been a leap when it comes to innovation in robot vacuums.

With AI taking center stage at CES this year, Julia Boorstin takes a look at some of the hottest technology along with rising concerns over what impact Trump's tariffs may have on consumer technology products.
