We Rated the Weird Tech at IFA 2026 to Find the Wackiest Products
Tofu machines, pet phones, toothbrush cameras — we saw all the wildest stuff at IFA, and now we’re here to report back.
Our expert staff has rated the wackiest tech at IFA 2026, revealing some truly bizarre products. At the large IFA expo in Berlin, Govee unveiled their newest ceiling light which aims to mimic the sky and adjust its color based on your mood. Though it may sound odd, Govee's AI is capable of generating lighting patterns based on your emotions or random thoughts.
Another odd product was Nuvell, a bean cooker and compressor the size of an espresso machine that can produce tofu in under 30 minutes. While it may not be practical, the process of turning soybeans into tofu is not rocket science. Dyson's Camerajet toothbrush uses a camera with Gap Optical Targeting to analyze your teeth and target interdental gaps.
Even though the camera takes 28 images per second, an AI analyzes the footage to target the gaps and the water flosser can be aimed directly at them. This device, priced at $500, is considered too weird for practical use. Creatulize showcased their smallest robot vacuum, the X1 Pro, designed to clean bedding and mattresses. Using precision mode, the vacuum moves slowly across the mattress, sucking up dust, mites, and hair.
While it seems like a useful gadget, its necessity is questionable. Lastly, Midea introduced an air conditioner that uses spatial imaging and sensors to track your position in the room and deliver customized cool air. When paired with Midea's other air-quality appliances, it creates a harmonious system to keep your home's air at your desired temperature and humidity.
Although the AC wasn't fully operational at IFA, similar technology from Dyson also uses this concept and might prove effective in practice.
