I’ve been digging into appliances lately, trying to plan for replacements if any of our current ones stop working for good. Bosch keeps coming up across different categories. That makes sense—they’ve built a reputation not just with power tools, but with home appliances, too. At CES 2026, they’re taking their technology a step further.
In the US, Dyson often dominates the conversation, but Bosch has long been a major player in Europe. Their entry into the US cordless stick vacuum market is worth noting. On top of that, they’re showing an AI-powered vehicle cockpit and MEMS sensors designed for VR. Let’s take a closer look at the Bosch CES 2026 lineup.
AI-powered vehicle cockpit: Bosch x Microsoft x NVIDIA
Bosch is teaming up with Microsoft and NVIDIA to bring an AI-powered cockpit to CES 2026. The lineup feels massive—maybe the biggest collaboration I’ve seen this year. But the real question is: does it live up to the hype?
The cockpit runs on NVIDIA’s Drive Orin chip, handling heavy performance with just power and Ethernet. Bosch also taps NVIDIA’s software, including the NeMo framework, to manage AI from start to finish. Let’s break down what that means in real life.
Bosch claims they are “transforming the car into a mobile office without compromising on driver safety.” For example, you could speak a command to join a Microsoft Teams call, and the cockpit can kick in adaptive cruise control automatically. Unlike standard cruise control, which holds a fixed speed, adaptive cruise control responds to surrounding traffic and adjusts in real time. That’s a clear example of how AI can reshape both the cockpit and the driving experience.
Another notable aspect is compatibility. Bosch says the cockpit can be retrofitted into existing vehicles without replacing hardware or altering the underlying system architecture. That approach contrasts with platforms like Apple CarPlay Ultra, which are limited to specific models and manufacturers.
One reason I feel confident about this partnership is NVIDIA’s experience with automakers. In 2021, NVIDIA powered the Mercedes-Benz MBUX Hyperscreen, known for its structured layout and clear interaction points.
Unlimited 9 and 10 Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaners
What stands out about the Unlimited 9 and 10 cordless stick vacuums is the confidence behind them. You can sense it at first use. Bosch brings its own MicroClean Technology, and these models capture up to 99.9% of dust, including particles you cannot see, according to the German company.
That same confidence carries over to the motor support. A 10-year motor warranty adds peace of mind and shows long term commitment to quality. It sends a clear message about durability and performance you can count on.
From power to precision, the cleaning system takes the lead. The MicroClean Brush lifts debris and fine dust across all surfaces. It works on hardwood, rugs, and thick carpet. The MicroClean Sensor tracks every particle the vacuum pulls in, visible or not. It sends that signal to the LED MicroClean Ring. The ring shines blue and lets you know the surface feels clean.
The Unlimited 10 takes its sibling’s core features a step further. It includes a 90-degree bendable tube, making it easier to reach under low furniture and tight spaces. A dynamic display lets you switch between six cleaning modes, and the vacuum runs up to 80 minutes on a single charge.
Price
A big plus is the cost stays below what some Dyson models ask for. Bosch lists the Unlimited 10 at $599. That’s not cheap, but for a feature‑packed cordless stick vacuum, it seems worth it. The Unlimited 9 starts at $499, so it lines up with Shark’s cordless vacuums.
MEMS sensors
Bosch is introducing its new Bmi5 AI MEMS sensor platform at CES 2026. Sensors built on this platform deliver precise measurements, solid reliability, and low energy use. They also include AI features that can detect movements, positions, and even the context around them.
One interesting application is in virtual and augmented reality. The sensors capture head movements with near-instant accuracy, letting you move through 3D spaces in a way that feels natural. And it’s not just VR—humanoid robots benefit, too. The sensors help robots understand their surroundings and movements, even when obstacles block their cameras, guiding them to navigate the right path with ease.
Final thoughts
After digging into Bosch’s CES 2026 lineup, I’m impressed by the range and ambition on display. From AI-powered vehicle cockpits to cordless vacuums and MEMS sensors, it’s clear they’re pushing both household and automotive technology forward. I like that their products balance innovation with practical reliability. For me, Bosch feels like a brand that’s serious about solving real problems, whether at home or on the road. I’m keeping an eye on what comes next.
