KitchenAid Professional 5 Quart Stand Mixer

Photograph: KitchenAid

This highly coveted countertop accessory is on sale yet again for Cyber Monday. While it typically sits on registries galore, the KitchenAid Professional 5 Quart Stand Mixer is almost 50 percent off, which is basically the next best thing to getting it as a gift. If you’re looking to save on space, the KitchenAid Artisan Mini 3.5 Quart is on sale for $260 ($110 off)—a little more expensive than the 5-quart model, but better for smaller kitchens and households.

Balmuda’s The Toaster (8/10, WIRED Reviewed) is great for heating a variety of different kinds of bread. You can pick from four different specific modes including Bread Mode, Sandwich Bread Mode, Pizza Mode, and Pastry Mode. There’s also Oven Mode for things like cookies and frozen food. It also rarely goes on sale, so if you’ve been eyeing it, we highly recommend jumping on this deal.

This toaster oven (7/10, WIRED Reviewed) isn’t fancy or anything, but it does a solid job at roasting, baking, and reheating. We weren’t fans of the domed pans that it comes with, but quarter-sheet pans work well. So, if you’re fine with shelling out an extra $10 to $20 on one or two pans, or you already own some, this is a solid option—especially if your current toaster oven is on its last legs.

Anova Precision Oven

The Anova Precision Oven (8/10, WIRED Recommends) comes with the same functions as a standard oven like baking and broiling. But it also provides sous-vide style results—sans water baths and bags—using steam. You can use it took cook steaks, salmon, pork tenderloin, and more, without having to worry about overcooking it. WIRED Contributor Joe Ray says it’s a great appliance if you’re a “natural tinkerer in the kitchen,” and if you have room on your countertop for it.

Instant Pots are a crowd favorite, to say the least, so it’s always a steal when they go on sale. With its 6-quart capacity, the Instant Pot Pro has 28 different settings. These settings let you pressure cook, slow cook, sous-vide, and even make yogurt—multitasking at its finest.

Sometimes TikTok tells you to buy things you don’t need, but other times it gets it just right. We love the original Dash Mini Waffle Maker, so suffice it to say we think it’s even better when you add cute hearts. With a Dash, you’ll get an easily-cleanable, compact waffle maker for all your Leslie Knope–inspired breakfast needs. 

Vitamix 5200 Blender

Photograph: Vitamix

Much like the KitchenAid Stand Mixer, the Vitamix 5200 is a staple for housewarmings and wedding registries. You don’t have to go throw a major life change to justify buying it, though—WIRED writer Joe Ray wanted to explore making new cuisines and fell in love with it. Whether you’re blending smoothies, soups, or sauces, this mixer is powerful and durable. This is definitely a great opportunity to upgrade your blender.

If you love to start your day with a smoothie or prefer homemade nut butters to store-bought, the Vitamix 6500 Pro Blender has a strong motor that is plenty capable to take on either of those tasks and more. It’s not the top-of-the-line Vitamix, but it’ll still be able to handle anything you throw at it.

I love a smoothie, but I don’t always want to deal with a big-ass blender for my mango-flavored musings. We haven’t tested the Ninja Nutriblender Pro, but we’re confident it’s a solid solution for folks in the same scenario as I am. The downward-facing blades keep food from escaping, and the single-serve size makes it easier to blend when you’re on the go.

Gozney Roccbox

Photograph: Gozney

Nothing sounds better than having a fresh pizza straight out of the oven, with its bubbly cheese and thin, charred crust. DiGiorno can’t quite replicate that taste, but the Gozney Roccbox could. It’s a little hefty for a pizza oven—though not as big as the Gozney Dome—but it’s great for hosting pizza parties … or just making and eating a ton of pizza.

We’re also fans of Ooni’s Koda pizza oven (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It’s small, lightweight, and easily portable, plus large enough to fit a 10-inch Lodge cast iron skillet. The one drawback is that, unlike Ooni’s other ovens, you can’t store the Koda outdoors for extended periods of time. 

Stasher Bags

Photograph: Amazon

Stasher is having a sitewide sale. These bags are a WIRED Gear team favorite. They’re a silicone replacement for single-use ziplock bags, and they come in multiple sizes for all your needs, like sandwiches and snacks, or something smaller to hold your bolts and screws together. They’re dishwasher-, freezer-, and microwave-safe,

The Thermapen One is one of the best ways to improve your grilling/roasting/baking game. It gives accurate temperature readings in less than a second, the battery lasts forever, and it’s easy to read the display no matter what weird angle you have to use it at. It rarely goes on sale, and this is the lowest price we’ve seen this year.

Put a garden on your countertop. Grow herbs, lettuce, and tiny tomatoes in this all-in-one hydroponic setup. It’s got a mobile app to help out new gardeners and in our testing, it grew herbs remarkably fast.

If touchscreens and wireless connections are your thing, the Vitamix Ascent has you covered. This blender is a little smaller than the 5200, but what it lacks in volume it makes up for in tech. For example, the smart base can detect what top you attach and adjust accordingly to ensure all your blending needs are met.

All-Clad 

Photograph: All-Clad

All-Clad pots and pans are almost heirloom-worthy additions to your cookware. I’m not kidding—my in-laws gifted us some that were more than 10 years old before we got our own new set, and they worked great. All-Clad tends to be on the pricier side, so now is a good time to invest in this classic, durable stainless steel set.

Much like our hand-me-down All-Clad, my husband and I had Cuisinart pots and pans for many years. They lasted us the four years of living together before we got our newlywed set, cooking evenly and looking slick. This is definitely a great starter set for folks who aren’t ready to drop so much on All-Clad but still want something that will stick around for a while.

Oxo Ceramic Professional Non-Stick Frypan

Photograph: OXO

If you’re looking for an alternative to nonstick pans (since the EPA is expected to declare many Teflon coatings as hazardous), we recommend Oxo’s Ceramic Professional Non-Stick Frypan. It’s free of PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances), comfortable to use, and we found no issues with sticking. We specifically tested the 8-inch version, but the larger 12-inch size is on sale.

This isn’t the craziest discount, but this is our go-to skillet in our roundup of best pots and pans. It’s affordable, spacious, and deep enough for a shallow fry, does an excellent job of searing, and is super durable. And while it’s not dishwasher safe, washing it with just soap and water will do the trick.

This isn’t just an Instagram accessory for foodies and homemakers—Le Creuset Dutch Ovens are also heirloom-worthy kitchen items. These are great for stews, stocks, and even baking bread. We recommend the 7.25-Quart version, but this 5.25-Quart dutch oven is great, too.

For those who prefer nonstick cookware, All-Clad has this five-piece set on sale. What’s special about this compared to other nonstick pots and pans is that the set is anodized, meaning it has a protective layer of oxide. Nonstick coating wears off over time, and this process keeps the set more durable.

This is our favorite all-in-one option for those who want to upgrade their basic espresso maker. It includes a pressure gauge (great for fine-tuning your grind and tamping skills), a built-in burr grinder, and a built-in hot water dispenser. It also allows you to adjust the brew temperature slightly if you want to experiment a bit.

It’s no secret that WIRED writer Jaina Grey likes De’Longhi espresso machines. However, they often cost a pretty penny, so when there’s a sale we have to holler. The Bar Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Machine is a good intro espresso machine that won’t break the bank, especially at under $200 for Cyber Monday. If you want something a little more involved, the De’Longhi La Specialista Arte Espresso Machine is also on sale for $500 ($200 off).

Life comes at you fast. In order to be ready for anything, a Keurig coffee-maker can help you stay up and ready. Not only is the K-Supreme easy to use, but you can also pair it with the Keurig-brand reusable filter to reduce your overall waste footprint.

The two most important things for a drip coffee maker are getting the beans wet quickly and uniformly. This Hamilton Beach machine has the perfect cone shape for just that. Though we haven’t tested it, resident WIRED coffee expert Jaina Grey approves, given the build.

Photograph: Fellow

Fellow’s Stagg EKG kettle has a gooseneck spout that’s perfect for those who love making pour-over coffee—giving you precise control when pouring water over the coffee grounds. There’s also a temperature control knob and LCD display, allowing you to heat up water at any temperature. So, it’s great for tea lovers too. 

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten about a warm cup of tea for an hour, only to then accidentally take a sip of room-temperature sadness. The Ember Mug is a great solution, letting you sip throughout the day while keeping your cuppa the perfect temperature. This mug connects to an app and lets you adjust the temperature from 120 to 145 degrees, and it has a battery that lasts for about an hour and a half, giving you plenty of time to enjoy your earl grey.

Smart Display and Smart Speaker Deals

Lenovo Smart Clock and Dock

Photograph: Lenovo

Lenovo’s Smart Clock (2nd Gen) Smart Display and Dock has been a WIRED favorite since the earliest iteration came out. The second generation has an LCD touchscreen and better-sounding speakers than earlier version. At half-off, it’s definitely a good deal to add to your cart.

The Google Nest Hub Smart Display can do everything from answer your cooking questions in the kitchen to showing your favorite photos from Santorini. This WIRED-recommended display doesn’t invade your personal space either—it doesn’t have a camera (unlike many others in the market), so you don’t have to worry about placing it in more private household areas. It’s half-off, so it’s a good time to snag it.

The Amazon Echo Show 8 is our favorite Alexa-powered smart display. The 8-inch screen is a great size for making video calls (there’s also an auto-pan and zoom feature to keep you in frame), reading recipes, and streaming content. Its compact size makes it super ideal for your kitchen counter or nightstand too. There’s a physical switch that cuts power to the camera and mic for added privacy. If you want a compact display for your bedside table, consider the Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) for $35 ($50 off).

Echo Show 10

Photograph: Amazon

If you want a larger screen, the Echo Show 10 has a 10-inch smart display that also swivels almost 360 degrees (which can follow you while you’re on a video call or when viewing a recipe). You’ll also get better audio quality.

With a 15.6-inch Full HD display, this is Amazon’s largest Echo smart display to date. It also has a redesigned home screen with widgets for to-do lists, calendars, shopping lists, support for picture-in-picture mode, and more. You can use it to stream Prime Video, Netflix, and Hulu, or display art and family photos. There’s a 5-megapixel camera and mics built-in for video calls as well (which you can turn off for privacy). We haven’t tested it yet.

If you’re not overly concerned with the audio quality of your smart speaker, then you can save a lot of money with the Echo Dot. It’s smaller, with simpler speakers (though they’re still not bad), and can do all the same things that a full-size Echo can. 

Echo Dot Kids

Photograph: Amazon

The new kids’ version of the Echo Dot comes with some of the same upgrades as the standard Echo Dot, including gesture controls. It’s available in two new adorable designs: an owl and a dragon. As with past models, you’ll have access to parental controls and one year of Amazon Kids+.

The standard Amazon Echo (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a handy tool for setting timers, asking trivia questions, and playing music. It impressed us with room-filling sound, and a 3.5-mm output to connect it to larger sound systems. It’s a bit bigger than previous Echo models though, so keep that in mind.

The Nest Mini (2nd Gen) Smart Speaker improved light-years since the previous Mini. It sounds better, the machine learns faster, and it’s wall-mountable, improving your overall listening and Assistant experience. It’s over 50 percent off now, too, so let your Google devices get the glow up they deserve.

TP-Link Kasa Mini

Photograph: TP-Link

It’s a tiny deal, but this might make it a bit more stomachable to get several for the house. This is our favorite smart plug. It’s compact, so it’s easy to fit a few on a power strip, and it won’t obstruct the second plug on a wall outlet. The Kasa app is simple to use and features two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security. 

Need a smart plug to use outside? It’s time to set up those holiday decorations, after all. We like this one. It’s made to withstand the elements, and you get two smart plugs without having to take up two plugs on the wall. 

These modular bars are easy to fit on the wall and are well-built. You get a range of colors to choose from via the app, plus tons of animated scenes. It works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so you can use your voice to turn them on or off. 

Nanoleaf Lines

Photograph: Nanoleaf

These smart lighting lights (8/10, WIRED Recommends) have joints that stick to the wall to combine multiple pieces into whatever pattern you like. The light shoots out toward the wall, so it’s not glaring and creates a nice ambient effect. One of the hexagonal joints serves as a physical control unit, but you can also use the app. 

If you’re feeling less liney and more hexagon-y, the Nanoleaf Hexagon kit is a good place to start. The panels are solid LEDS, you can interlock them into a variety of shapes, and they provide a gentle ambiance to any space. 

This light strip is bright and has beautiful colors, plus you can change nearly everything in the Hue app. You can cut the strip up or extend it to fit your space, but you should pair it with the Hue Hub so for the fastest operation. It works with Google Assistant, Alexa, HomeKit, IFTTT, and Cortana.

Streaming and Audio Deals

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max

Photograph: Best Buy

If you prefer Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant and watch mainly Prime Video content, go with this streaming stick. It works with most apps, but it is obviously geared toward Prime shows and movies. There’s a picture-in-picture feature so you can pull up your security camera feed without interrupting your current binge. The cheaper Fire TV Stick 4K is $25 ($25 off). That one doesn’t have Wi-Fi 6 support and has slightly less internal memory.

The Chromecast With Google TV (8/10, WIRED Recommends) finally brought the Chromecast in line with other streaming sticks that have a physical remote and a full TV interface. It’s one of the easiest streaming sticks (well, dongle really) to use, and I particularly like that you can add movies or TV shows to your watch list from Google search results and they’ll show up in the Chromecast’s interface.

Roku’s Streaming Stick 4K Plus, which is slightly discounted at Amazon right now, is our recommended Roku for most people, but this one is similar. It’s cheaper and the remote lacks hands-free voice control. Even though the above Chromecast has a nicer interface, Roku still makes our favorite streaming devices. They’re just easier for most people to navigate and have nearly every service under the sun.

Roku Streambar

Photograph: Roku

Roku’s Streambar is a great option if you want to upgrade your TV’s sound while playing your favorite shows and movies. It also has a built-in Roku streaming interface, making it a solid all-on-one gadget for smaller rooms.

This soundbar (8/10, WIRED Recommends) with Dolby Atmos isn’t Vizio’s latest, but it’s a great budget option. It won’t fill a huge space with sound, but with dedicated surround speakers and a subwoofer, it’s plenty for an apartment.

This Audio-Technica turntable is our budget pick for the Best Turntables. It pairs with a Bluetooth speaker or you can plug it directly into an actual stereo. It’s not for audiophiles, but it’s for those of us who just want a nice record player to listen to over dinner.

Vacuum and Air Purifier Deals

Dyson Cyclone V10

Photograph: Dyson

Whoever coined the phrase “it’s raining cats and dogs” must have been cleaning up after their pet because they make a mess absolutely everywhere. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal makes it easier to clean up with its cordless design and powerful suction. This isn’t the lowest we’ve seen this cordless vacuum go on sale, but it’s still a pretty good deal.

Dyson’s V12 Detect Slim (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is excellent for studio or one-bedroom apartments with mostly hard floorings and the occasional carpet or rug. The compact but nimble vacuum has powerful suction and comes with a variety of useful attachments. But our favorite one is the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head—it shoots out a green light that helps you spot and catch microscopic dust that’s typically invisible to the naked eye. 

The V15 Detect holds the title of best Dyson vacuum in our roundup. As with the V12, it has the same laser cleaner head for smaller dust particles. But with a larger dust bin and more suction power, it’s certainly a better option for larger homes or multi-room spaces.

The Roomba J7+ is the best of the best as far as robot vacuums are concerned. The precise navigation paired with powerful suction is top-of-the-line, giving you the ease of hands-free cleaning and peace of mind that it’ll be done well. It even auto-empties the dustbin, so you don’t have to worry about keeping up with the debris too often. 

Honeywell Insight HEPA Air Purifier 

Photograph: Honeywell

Everyone wants to breathe easier. For those with allergies, the Honeywell Insight HEPA is a great air purifier for rooms up to 500 square feet, clearing the air of dust, dander, and even cooking odors.

WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu has been testing this air purifier for a few months and likes it. It can clear the air in a 517-square-foot room within 26 minutes. When it detects particles in the room (like when he cooks bacon, for example) it roars alive—but it’s not terribly loud. It is, however, on the larger side so you’ll need to make space for it. It also connects to the Smartmi app, allowing you to control it remotely (with support for Google Assistant and Alexa). He’s also testing the Smartmi P1, complete with HomeKit support. It’s also on sale for $108 ($69 off) and better for smaller rooms. 

Coway Airmega 200M

Photograph: Coway

Coway’s Airmega 200m is best for small rooms—it’s effective for spaces up to 361 square feet. The compact design will also easily fit into the corner of your bedroom. With an included air quality monitor, it turns the machine off when it doesn’t detect pollution and automatically increases the fan speed if it does. 

If your protective over your interior decor, Coway’s Airmega 150 is our favorite attractive option to recommend. It’s also built for small rooms (up to 214 square feet) and comes with intuitive touch controls, a color-coded air monitor light, and a right indicator that alerts you when it’s time to change the HEPA filter of the deodorization. 

The Pure Fan Auto is perfect for light sleepers since it’s whisper-quiet. In addition to its purifying capabilities—it can cycle air five times an hour in a 326-square-foot room—it also has a fan that can help cool you down a bit. There’s also a Night mode that turns the fan to its lowest setting and shuts off the air quality indicator light. There’s also the more simple Blueair Pure 411 Auto, which automatically turns up the fan speed when it detects particles. It’s on sale for $98 ($42 off).

Google Nest Cam

Photograph: Target

As the holidays near, it’s important to keep an eye out for all of your deliveries—you wouldn’t want someone to steal from Santa’s delivery sleigh. The Nest Cam is one of WIRED’s favorite outdoor security cameras given its easy set-up, seamless Google integration, and 130-degree field of view. Santa may be able to do a lot, but sometimes he’s so busy checking his list even he needs help safe-guarding your gifts. 

We’re still in the process of testing the Blink Video Doorbell, but we gave it an honorable mention in our Best Video Doorbell Cameras guide. It’s not only affordable, but it also works with Alexa and comes in both a tethered and battery-powered version. This bundle includes two of Blink’s outdoor cameras, which will give you broader coverage around your home (other bundles are on sale as well). This one is the lowest price we’ve tracked.

Amazon recently launched this new mount for its Blink Mini camera, so we haven’t tried it yet. It has the ability to pan and tilt, giving you a 360-degree view of any room. This bundle comes with the camera, but if you already own the Mini you can purchase the mount separately.

TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro Mesh Router

Photograph: TP-Link

The boosted Pro version of our top affordable mesh router pick, the Deco XE75 Pro 3-pack offers up to 7,200 square feet of coverage, 6GHz band support, and a 2.5-G LAN port. The AI-driven mesh makes sure that the system delivers the best Wi-Fi it can, wherever you are in your house. The Deco app also allows for a quick and simple setup.

We love how easy Eero’s 6 Mesh System is to set up and use.  We also had solid coverage and stable connectivity in our testing. Since Eero is owned by Amazon, you’ll get support for Alexa too. However, this is one of the slower systems we’ve tried (it struggled with long distances), but should work fine for most people. If you’re set on Eero specifically, the Eero Pro 6 is slightly faster—it’s on sale for $148 ($81 off).

Oral-B Pro 1000 Oscillating Electric Toothbrush

Photograph: Amazon

If you’re looking to upgrade from your traditional toothbrush to a more powerful cleaner, look no further than Oral-B’s Pro 1000. It’s affordable and rechargeable. And while it’s been around for a while, it continues to beat the more expensive, feature-packed models. 

Our favorite electric toothbrush is on sale for 50 percent off. The Colgate Hum is a smart brush that gathers data on your brushing habits and lets you earn points towards rewards like brush heads and such in the corresponding mobile app. It’s light, compact, and kept WIRED writer Medea Giordano from giving up on electric toothbrushes altogether.

Holiday stress keeping you up at night? The Hatch Restore can help you drift off into a peaceful sleep and wake up gently with its programmable morning and night routines. Plus, you can subscribe to a Hatch Sleep Membership and get even more sleep sounds, bedtime stories, and guided meditations. The Hatch Rest is also on sale for $60 ($10 off) with the coupon button, so your kids can crash more easily at night, too.

Balkwan Sunset Lamp

Photograph: Balkwan

This isn’t the greatest discount, but these sunset lamps make a great addition to any home. The small gadget projects halolike effects with pops of rainbow colors to make the space feel super cozy. All you have to do is place it on the floor, plug it in, and aim it toward a wall. It’s easy to understand why these sunset lamps have been trending all over TikTok.

Kitchen Deals

KitchenAid Professional 5 Quart Stand Mixer

Photograph: KitchenAid

This highly coveted countertop accessory is on sale yet again for Black Friday. While it typically sits on registries galore, the KitchenAid Professional 5 Quart Stand Mixer is almost 50 percent off, which is basically the next best thing to getting it as a gift. If you’re looking to save on space, the KitchenAid Artisan Mini 3.5 Quart is on sale for $260 ($110 off)—a little more expensive than the 5 quart, but better for smaller kitchens and households.

Much like the KitchenAid Stand Mixer, the Vitamix 5200 is a staple for housewarmings and wedding registries. You don’t have to go throw a major life change to justify buying it, though—WIRED writer Joe Ray wanted to explore making new cuisines and fell in love with it. Whether you’re blending smoothies, soups, or sauces, this mixer is powerful and durable. This is definitely a great opportunity to upgrade your blender, but if you’re looking to spend less, this entry-level Vitamix—the Explorian—is on sale for $190 ($100 off).

If touchscreens and wireless connections are your thing, the Vitamix Ascent has you covered. This blender is a little smaller than the 5200, but what it lacks in volume it makes up for in tech. For example, the smart base can detect what top you attach and adjust accordingly to ensure all your blending needs are met. 

All-Clad Tri-Ply Cookware

All-Clad pots and pans are almost heirloom-worthy additions to your cookware. I’m not kidding—my in-laws gifted us some that were more than 10 years old before we got our own new set, and they worked great. All-Clad tends to be on the pricier side, so now is a good time to invest in this classic, durable stainless steel set.

For those who prefer nonstick cookware, All-Clad has this five piece set on sale. What’s special about this compared to other nonstick pots and pans is that the set is anodized, meaning it has a protective layer of oxide.

The two most important things for a drip coffee maker are getting the beans wet quickly and uniformly. This Hamilton Beach machine has the perfect cone shape for just that. Though we haven’t tested it, resident WIRED coffee expert Jaina Grey approves, given the build.

Sometimes TikTok tells you to buy things you don’t need, but other times it gets it just right. We love the original Dash Mini Waffle Maker, so suffice it to say we think it’s even better when you add cute hearts. With a Dash, you’ll get an easily-cleanable, compact waffle maker for all your Leslie Knope–inspired breakfast needs. 

Nothing sounds better than having a fresh pizza straight out of the oven, with its bubbly cheese and thin, charred crust. DiGiorno can’t quite replicate that taste, but the Gozney Roccbox could. It’s a little hefty for a pizza oven—though not as big as the Gozney Dome—but it’s great for hosting pizza parties … or just making and eating a ton of pizza.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten about a warm cup of tea for an hour, only to then accidentally take a sip of room-temperature sadness. The Ember Mug is a great solution, letting you sip throughout the day while keeping your cuppa the perfect temperature. This mug connects to an app and lets you adjust the temperature from 120 to 145 degrees, and it has a battery that lasts for about an hour and a half, giving you plenty of time to enjoy your earl grey.

Google Nest Mini

The Google Nest Hub Smart Display can do everything from answer your cooking questions in the kitchen to showing your favorite photos from Santorini. This WIRED-recommended display doesn’t invade your personal space either—it doesn’t have a camera (unlike many others in the market), so you don’t have to worry about placing it in more private household areas. It’s half-off, so it’s a good time to snag it.

The Nest Mini (2nd Gen) Smart Speaker improved light-years since the previous Mini. It sounds better, the machine learns faster, and it’s wall-mountable, improving your overall listening and Assistant experience. It’s over 50 percent off now, too, so let your Google devices get the glow up they deserve.

Google Nest Cam

As the holidays near, it’s important to keep an eye out for all of your deliveries—you wouldn’t want someone to steal from Santa’s delivery sleigh. The Nest Cam is one of WIRED’s favorite outdoor security cameras given its easy set-up, seamless Google integration, and 130-degree field of view. Santa may be able to do a lot, but sometimes he’s so busy checking his list even he needs help safe-guarding your gifts. 

We’re still in the process of testing the Blink Video Doorbell, but we gave it an honorable mention in our Best Video Doorbell Cameras guide. It’s not only affordable, but it also works with Alexa and comes in both a tethered and battery-powered version. This bundle includes two of Blink’s outdoor cameras, which will give you broader coverage around your home (other bundles are on sale as well). This one is the lowest price we’ve tracked.

Amazon recently launched this new mount for its Blink Mini camera, so we haven’t tried it yet. It has the ability to pan and tilt, giving you a 360-degree view of any room. This bundle comes with the camera, but if you already own the Mini you can purchase the mount separately.

Hatch Restore Sound Machine 

Photograph: Hatch

Holiday stress keeping you up at night? The Hatch Restore can help you drift off into a peaceful sleep and wake up gently with its programmable morning and night routines. Plus, you can subscribe to a Hatch Sleep Membership and get even more sleep sounds, bedtime stories, and guided meditations. The Hatch Rest is also on sale for $60 ($10 off) with the coupon button, so your kids can crash more easily at night, too.

This isn’t the greatest discount, but these sunset lamps make a great addition to any home. The small gadget projects halolike effects with pops of rainbow colors to make the space feel super cozy. All you have to do is place it on the floor, plug it in, and aim it toward a wall. It’s easy to understand why these sunset lamps have been trending all over TikTok. 

The boosted Pro version of our top affordable mesh router pick, the Deco XE75 Pro 3-pack offers up to 7,200 square feet of coverage, 6GHz band support, and a 2.5-G LAN port. The AI-driven mesh makes sure that the system delivers the best Wi-Fi it can, wherever you are in your house. The Deco app also allows for a quick and simple setup.

Echo Dot

If you’re not overly concerned with the audio quality of your smart speaker, then you can save a lot of money with the Echo Dot. It’s smaller, with simpler speakers (though they’re still not bad), and can do all the same things that a full-size Echo can. 

The new kids’ version of the Echo Dot comes with some of the same upgrades as the standard Echo Dot, including gesture controls. It’s available in two new adorable designs: an owl and a dragon. As with past models, you’ll have access to parental controls and one year of Amazon Kids+.

The standard Amazon Echo (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a handy tool for setting timers, asking trivia questions, and playing music. It impressed us with room-filling sound, and a 3.5-mm output to connect it to larger sound systems. It’s a bit bigger than previous Echo models though, so keep that in mind.

Echo Show 8 

Photograph: Amazon

The Amazon Echo Show 8 is our favorite Alexa-powered smart display. The 8-inch screen is a great size for making video calls (there’s also an auto-pan and zoom feature to keep you in frame), reading recipes, and streaming content. Its compact size makes it super ideal for your kitchen counter or nightstand too. There’s a physical switch that cuts power to the camera and mic for added privacy. If you want a compact display for your bedside table, consider the Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) for $35 ($50 off).

If you want a larger screen, the Echo Show 10 has a 10-inch smart display that also swivels almost 360 degrees (which can follow you while you’re on a video call or when viewing a recipe). You’ll also get better audio quality.

With a 15.6-inch Full HD display, this is Amazon’s largest Echo smart display to date. It also has a redesigned home screen with widgets for to-do lists, calendars, shopping lists, support for picture-in-picture mode, and more. You can use it to stream Prime Video, Netflix, and Hulu, or display art and family photos. There’s a 5-megapixel camera and mics built-in for video calls as well (which you can turn off for privacy). We haven’t tested it yet.

Streaming Deals

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max

Photograph: Best Buy

If you prefer Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant and watch mainly Prime Video content, go with this streaming stick. It works with most apps, but it is obviously geared toward Prime shows and movies. There’s a picture-in-picture feature so you can pull up your security camera feed without interrupting your current binge. The cheaper Fire TV Stick 4K is $25 ($25 off). That one doesn’t have Wi-Fi 6 support and has slightly less internal memory.

The Chromecast With Google TV (8/10, WIRED Recommends) finally brought the Chromecast in line with other streaming sticks that have a physical remote and a full TV interface. It’s one of the easiest streaming sticks (well, dongle really) to use, and I particularly like that you can add movies or TV shows to your watch list from Google search results and they’ll show up in the Chromecast’s interface.

Roku’s Streaming Stick 4K Plus, which is slightly discounted at Amazon right now, is our recommended Roku for most people, but this one is similar. It’s cheaper and the remote lacks hands-free voice control. Even though the above Chromecast has a nicer interface, Roku still makes our favorite streaming devices. They’re just easier for most people to navigate and have nearly every service under the sun.

Cleaning Deals

Dyson Cyclone V10

Photograph: Dyson

Whoever coined the phrase “it’s raining cats and dogs” must have been cleaning up after their pet because they make a mess absolutely everywhere. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal makes it easier to clean up with its cordless design and powerful suction. This isn’t the lowest we’ve seen this cordless vacuum go on sale, but it’s still a pretty good deal.

The Roomba J7+ is the best of the best as far as robot vacuums are concerned. The precise navigation paired with powerful suction is top of the line, giving you the ease of hands-free cleaning and peace of mind that it’ll be done well. It even auto-empties the dust bin, so you don’t have to worry about keeping up with the debris too often. 

Everyone wants to breathe easier. For those with allergies, the Honeywell Insight HEPA is a great air purifier for rooms up to 500 square feet, clearing the air of dust, dander, and even cooking odors.

Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT 

Photograph: Audio Technica 

This Audio-Technica turntable is our budget pick for the Best Turntables. It pairs with a Bluetooth speaker or you can plug it directly into an actual stereo. It’s not for audiophiles, but it’s for those of us who just want a nice record player to listen to over dinner.

A bunch of Target’s Wondershop faux Christmas trees are half off, but the deal ends tonight (Friday). There are prelit, flocked, slim, tall, and even pink, blue, and purple options. Real trees are great, and setting up a tree that’s been scrunched in a box is a pain, but an artificial tree is more cost-effective.

Stocking up your kitchen with the right pots and pans is always a task, especially when you have limited storage space and your oversized pot refuses to fit in your cabinets.

Buy Always Pan $95

This the cheapest price we’ve seen all year for the Always Pan, which can fry your eggs, sautee your veggies and even steam dumplings. The brand says it can do everything from braise, sear, steam, strain, saute, fry, boil, serve and store your meals, all in one. I own this pan and it lives up to the hype. Whether I’m preparing breakfast or trying a new pasta dish out for dinner, I’ve had no issues with this piece of cookware. It’s also easy to clean, thanks to its non-stick ceramic coating.

You’ll also get a bunch of useful accessories with your new Always Pan, including a spatula, lid and steamer basket. All these accessories fit easily into the pan saving you the extra storage space. Plus, the aesthetic colorways mean you can store your pan out in the open without it looking out of place.

Buy Always Pan $95

The Always Pan also weighs just about three pounds, just in case you need to store it or carry it to your next family dinner.

There’s no place like home, so why not deck it out this Prime Day? A lot of things go into making your house feel like a better place to spend time in, and this week is a good chance to save money on all of those things. Whether you’re looking for a better blender, a carpet cleaner that’s trending on TikTok, or a smart bulb to set the scene for your moody movie night, there’s a deal for you this week. Just remember, Prime Day ends soon (11:59 pm PT on July 13, to be exact), so these deals won’t last much longer.

Vitamix 5200

Photograph: Vitamix

Like Geena Davis and Madonna, Vitamix blenders are in a league of their own. They’re so good that Joe Ray declared himself a “blender person” after using the 5200. Whether you’re making smoothies, soups, or sauces, the Vitamix blends evenly and efficiently without straining or overheating. Vitamix blenders don’t go on sale often, so this is a rare chance to snag one for less. 

What goes hand-in-hand with a Vitamix? A KitchenAid Stand Mixer. If you think I’m kidding, check any wedding registry within the last decade. This coveted kitchen gadget is the perfect combination of form and function, with its sleek, timeless design and masterful mixing. No need to wait and put this on your wishlist — they rarely go on this good of a sale.

After multiple years of the pandemic, I’m pretty sure we’re all tired of cooking and cleaning up afterward. Instead of whipping out pots and pans and whatever else it takes to make your favorite meal, toss your ingredients into a slow cooker and let it do the work for you. Not only will you have dinner on the table in time, you’ll also only have to clean the dishwasher-safe, removable stoneware. And if you’re looking to carry your leftovers on the go, the Crockpot Electric Lunch Box for $30 ($15 off) can hold them and reheat them when you’re ready.

Zojirushi Micom Rice Cooker

Photograph: ZOJIRUSHI

You may not think a rice cooker is necessary if you already have a slow cooker, pressure cooker, or even just a pot with a lid. However, Zojirushi is known for making rice so well you won’t wanna go back. This variant is similar to one of our favorite Zojirushi models, except it doesn’t have a setting for quinoa. Still, we think this is a good deal if that’s not a dealbreaker for you.

We haven’t tested this model, but we’re fond of the De’Longhi Stilosa Espresso Machine. The La Specialista is a more suped-up machine, with a built-in grinder, stainless steel build, and overall larger size. It’s got great reviews across the web, too. 

Come one, come all coffee lovers! Our favorite cold brew maker is already a steal regularly, and now you can get the Primula Burke at 30 percent off. For the cost of about two cold brews, this makes 32 ounces, is simple to set up, and brews a smooth cup of joe without much bitterness or sediment.

Breville Barista Express

I don’t know about you, but I love not having to deal with too many gadgets right when I get up in the morning. The Barista Express features a hot water dispenser, a burr grinder, and a pressure gauge so you can exactify your brew even better. This is our favorite all-in-one espresso machine, and it’s $50 off this Prime Day.

Sometimes you just can’t beat a little elbow grease when it comes to getting your coffee grind just right. Or at least senior reviewer Scott Gilbertson thinks so. He searched high and low for the best manual grinder, and the Hario balanced speed, design, and grind almost perfectly. 

Nothing is worse than going to make your morning coffee, only to discover that you’re out of beans. With a subscription, you can ensure you’re getting quality coffee on a regular basis. Atlas Coffee Club offers some of the best variety when it comes to single-origin beans. It’s important to note that you’re getting new beans every time, so you may not always be fond of the flavor, but we think the good outweighs the bad. You can read more about this deal here.

I’ve been terrified of undercooking meat ever since I had to watch a video on salmonella in elementary school health class. In order to avoid any accidents in that regard, meat thermometers are a real life saver. The Thermapen One reads accurately and quickly, comes in a myriad of colors, and is compact enough to fit in your kitchen tools drawer.

Stasher Silicone Reusable Storage Bag

Reducing waste can feel herculean at times, but you can help protect the environment in many small ways too. Stasher Silicone Reusable Storage Bags are a great replacement for your typical plastic bag, whether you’re packing a lunch, meal prepping for the week, or just saving leftovers for later. If seven bags are too many, you can get four for $38 ($14 off) or a single bag for $15 ($6 off).

Made of plant-based material, the OmieBox OmieGo Set is a sustainable replacement to your typical tupperware. Not only are they durable and cute, but each container also snaps into place on top of each other, so you don’t have to worry about stashing pieces in your cabinets only for them to fall all over the place later.

Staub was one of the few brands my sister-in-law asked for this holiday season. And there’s a reason so many people add Staub to their wishlists and wedding registries—they’re a sturdy, stylish addition to any kitchen without the Le Creuset price tag. If dark blue isn’t your color, there’s also a set on sale in cherry for $63 ($27 off).

TV, Soundbar, and Speaker Deals

Sony A90J 4K TV

Photograph: Sony

Calling a TV “pretty” isn’t the usual technical lingo we’d go for, but damn … the Sony A90J is pretty. From the processing speed to the OLED panel, this TV really does have it all. Though this may not seem like much of a discount, this is the lowest drop we’ve seen for the A90J. We’re not sure when we’ll see prices like this again, so now’s a good time to jump if you’ve been eyeing it.

If Apple has roped you in the way they’ve roped me in, an Apple TV 4K is a great option. Though they’re more expensive than other streaming devices, they really are the cat’s meow with their simple, sleek user interface and easy integration with other Apple products. Just beware: this doesn’t come with an HDMI cable.

Alexa hive, rise. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a great streaming option for Alexa-enabled households. You have the option for Wi-Fi 6, picture-in-picture capabilities for security camera streaming, and 2 gigabytes of memory. Again, for the less souped-up version, you can get the Fire TV Stick Lite for $12 ($18 off).

Roku Ultra

Photograph: Roku

Although we haven’t tested the 2022 version yet, we’re big fans of the Roku Ultra. You’ll get 4K streaming, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ all in one. The Wi-Fi is also allegedly better than the already incredibly fast connection we loved before. If you’re not looking for anything too advanced like that, you can also get the Roku Streaming Stick 4K (2021) for $30 ($20 off) for a guest bedroom or kitchen TV.

A lot of people expect smart-enabled televisions nowadays, but did you know you can get a smart soundbar, too? The Roku Streambar Pro has all the functionality of a typical Roku, plus it enhances the sound on your TV. This is actually a pretty brilliant two-in-one situation given that TVs tend to have terrible speakers. The Pro is better for bigger rooms, but if you’re looking to spruce up the sound in your bedroom, the Roku Streambar for $90 ($40 off) is a good deal, too.

It’s the worst kept secret: showers tend to turn into personal karaoke power hours, whether you like to sing a broadway ballad or the Boss. The Ampere Shower Power can take your solo to the next level, bringing your backup track from the countertop to the actual shower. It literally runs on the water that runs through it, and it’s easy enough to set up, so you’ll bust into your next tune in no time.

Smart Home and Parenting Deals

Echo Dot with Clock (4th Gen)

Photograph: Amazon

Reviews editor Parker Hall loves Echo Dots more than he loves most smart speakers. The sound fills up a room exceptionally well, and if you’re looking to boost it even more, the Echo has a 3.5-mm output for connecting to larger speaker systems.  For your little ones, you can also get the Echo Dot Kids Edition for $25 ($35 off).

The Echo Show 8 is kind of like the Goldilocks of Echo Shows. It’s eight inches, right in between the 5th and 10th generations. And it even has the same pixel density as larger versions so you don’t have to compromise on picture quality. If you’re low on space, you can always opt for the Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen, 2021 release) for $35 ($50 off) instead. Alternatively, if you want a bigger display and have the wall space to support it, the Echo Show 15 is on sale for $180 ($70 off).

Senior reviews editor Adrienne So has tested the Glow. Both her parents and elementary-school-aged kids loved it, but it’s a little big and awkward to use. Still, it’s a great way to connect your child to distant loved ones without having to watch TV together. 

Amazon Eero 6 Mesh Wi-Fi System

Photograph: Eero

Mesh networks help make sure all of your internet-enabled gadgets, well…mesh together. That means that it extends the Wi-Fi from your router around your house better. The Eero 6 was the easiest to set up in our tests, and at $40 off it’s a great deal, too.

There aren’t a lot of options to support Wi-Fi 6E, so the TP-Link Deco is a special mesh network system. We got incredibly fast speeds and overall consistent connection in our tests, and they were easy enough to set up, too. The cylindrical design doesn’t look too clunky either, so it can blend into your decor nicely. 

Biggie said mo money, mo problems, and that couldn’t be more true when it comes to large houses and Wi-Fi. You’ve got the house of your dreams, but now you’re dreaming about how you can get internet in the upstairs. The Netgear Orbi Mesh Wi-Fi system is a solid choice for sizeable homes, extending the signal range well and offering overall speed and stability. Problem? Solved.

Ecobee SmartThermostat

Photograph: Ecobee

The thermostat was a touchy subject in my house … or rather, a no-touchy subject. Whenever the weather changed, there was always the back-and-forth of what it should be set at and who should adjust it. Now you don’t have to worry about that with a smart thermostat system that automatically learns to adjust to the weather and your preferences. (On top of that, you can use voice-control, so it’s like nobody really touched it at all, wink wink). 

Sometimes, you may need a little more to quiet your mind at night. The Morphée combines features from your typical white noise machine (like purring cat sounds and other ambient noise) with meditation options, too. You have eight different options that all last either eight or 20 minutes, depending on what you need. If your little one needs a little extra help falling asleep as well, the My Little Morphée is also on sale for $80 ($20 off).

This is also a very exciting deal, as this enormous Magna-Tiles set is rarely this cheap. Your kids will love them. All kids love them. They can be used to create everything from multilevel castles to ice cream cones and drum sets. The 100-set piece is also on sale for $84 ($37 off).

EufyCam 2 Pro

Photograph: Eufy

Looking to up your home security without all the subscription fuss? The EufyCam 2 Pro is an outdoor security camera that has a simple app, 2k resolution, and allegedly a year’s worth of battery life. Eufy has suffered a breach before, but the company has since upped its security after the incident. You can add the EufyCam 2 Pro Home Security Camera for $104 ($46 off) to expand your system.

This is one of our favorite video doorbells, simply because we get so many deliveries. A second, downward-facing camera monitors your porch and packages, in addition to your visitors. We also like the option of local storage. 

When we tested the Kasa Spot for our guide to the best indoor security cameras, we loved how functional the tilt feature is. Pair that with the panning ability and two-factor authentication, and you’ve got the Kasa Smart 2K Security Camera, making it an even better option than the Spot.

Nest Hub Max

Photograph: Best Buy

In this house, we love Google Assistant! Really though, it’s the WIRED team’s favorite voice assistant, so the Nest Hub Max is your best bet if you’re looking to add a smart display to your home. It’s got a sizable 10-inch screen which is great for video chatting or pulling up a how-to on Youtube, plus the speakers are actually good for a smart display. If you’re not in need of a camera, the Nest Hub (2nd Gen) Smart Display is on sale for $55 ($45 off).

Another solution to the Household Thermostat Problem: the Nest Learning Thermostat. Like the aforementioned ecobee, this system adjusts based on the weather and whether you’re home or not. It also lets you check how much energy you’ve used and on what, which is a nice way to better understand your footprint. You can also get a less recent version of this, the Nest Thermostat, for only $89 ($31).

Protecting your home is important, and adding the Nest Cam to your Google Home ecosystem can help you do so. Nest cameras have great picture quality and user interface on top of their sleek, attractive design. Usually they’re too expensive for us to recommend, but at 20% off, it’s a solid deal.

Nest Doorbell

Photograph: Google

The Nest Doorbell is our runner-up pick to the Arlo, solely because it costs more. It’s easy to set up, the battery lasts for about a month, and it identifies faces and packages pretty accurately. However, it does require the Google Home app and a subscription to Nest Aware for $6 a month.

Amazon families have security options to fold into their ecosystems, too. The Blink Mini is compact enough to fit just about anywhere, making it more versatile than some other more cumbersome cameras. It also has two-way audio, motion detection, and Alexa integration.

Another option in the pet camera family, the Petcube Bites 2 can help you keep an eye on your fur babies. This has a square design and a mounting kit, so you customize your vantage point by jigsawing it amongst your other home gadgets, or sticking it on the wall. And of course, you can send your pet a little treat, if you so please! 

Nixplay 10 inch Digital Frame

Photograph: Amazon

The Nixplay is our runner-up pick for digital frames. It connects to Google and Alexa, has a customizable screen, and lets you cycle through photos with a remote. Now you can show your mom all your latest vacation photos without having to upload them for all of Facebook to see.

The other night my cousin got a notification: “Your dog is barking.” We opened the Furbo app to see his beagle Bucky was, uh … introducing himself to his new neighbors. It was really cute, but the best part was that we could see nothing was wrong with him or the apartment, and could even send him a little treat. If you want that for your furry friend, this discount is a good one. We’re in the process of updating the pet camera guide, but we’ve previously liked the Furbo.

With the Philips Hue Smart Bulbs, you’re upgrading to the crème de la crème of smart bulbs. It typically comes at a high price tag, but at almost half off it’s the perfect time to level up your lighting. You can add up to 10 bulbs to this system through the app, letting you customize your ambiance to a tee.

Cleaning and Repair Deals

You can find more Prime Day robot vacuum deals here.

iRobot Roomba i7+

Photograph: iRobot

It goes without saying that every house would likely benefit from someone else cleaning it—less stress, less resentment, less time. While I can’t offer you an actual cleaning service this Prime Day, I can offer what may be the next best thing: a robot vacuum. Dust and dander gather constantly, making cleaning the floors seem Sisyphean. The iRobot Roomba i7+ not only vacuums for you, adeptly navigating through your home, but it empties its own bin, too. 

The Roborock Q5+ is, as Tina Turner would put it, simply the best. It vacuums well, empties its own bin, and lets you customize your cleaning routines in a handy app for your phone. What more could you want?

We haven’t tested this model, but we like the AI+ version of Samsung’s Jet Bot (also on sale). Like that one, this is enormous–5 inches high, tall enough to get stuck under a sofa, and the tower is a whopping 21 inches high. But, these are also quiet, fast, and powerful. This deal gets you most of what we like about the AI+, save the AI features.

Eufy Robovac X8

Photograph: Eufy

Tired of the fur and dander and all the other dirtiness that come with having a furry friend? Those are no match for the Eufy Robovac, our favorite robot vacuum for pets, and luckily it’s on a pretty extraordinary sale. At almost half-off, you can get this top-notch vac and spend less time cleaning so you can spend more time playing tug-of-war with your pup.

This is a pretty good deal for an auto-emptying robot vacuum. The smart navigation features maps your home and you can use Google or Alexa voice assistants to direct it where you want it.

The 692 offers much of the same time-tested iRobot technology as more expensive models, but at a much lower price, making it a great choice if you’re just starting out with robot vacs. We especially like iRobots “Dirt Detect” feature. When the robot’s sensors detects a particularly dirty area, it goes over it several times to make sure that it’s thoroughly clean.

Hoover Smartwash

Photograph: Hoover

The Hoover SmartWash features automatic cleaning and drying cycles, making sure you don’t leave cleaner and water behind to attract more dust and dirt. This cleaner also acts as a spot cleaner with the detachable top, so you don’t have to go through the whole shebang for a smaller spill. For a more compact carpet cleaning option, the Hoover PowerDash Pet Compact Carpet Cleaner is $90 ($10 off)

The S7 is far too expensive to not buy on sale, so if you’ve been considering it, now’s your chance. It maps your home with sonic waves, automatically lifts the mop when carpet is detected, and uses multi-directional brushes to better pick up debris. We wish it had a self-emptying bin, but we can make exceptions for this deal.

You know the drill — it’s the Black+Decker Powerconnect Cordless Drill, to be exact. It’s a great kit for all things home improvement, whether you’re hanging your favorite poster or doing a detailed DIY. And you won’t have to get tangled up in the process because it’s got a rechargeable battery that even works interchangeably with other Black+Decker tools.

Air Purifier and Fan Deals

BlueAir Blue 411

Photograph: Amazon

I’ve had the BlueAir Blue 411 for about three years and it’s been a lifesaver. Whether it’s allergy season, my dogs are shedding like crazy, or I sprayed too much hairspray, this little guy works and works hard. I’ve definitely noticed a difference in how I sleep at night because I can actually breathe without sounding like Brainy from Hey Arnold. Other BlueAir purifiers are on sale as well, including the BlueAir Blue 311 for $168 ($83 off) and the BlueAir Blue 211+ Auto HEPASilent 23dB Air Purifier for $238 ($102 off).

It’s July, so you may be feeling hot, hot, hot. The Vornado 630 is one of our favorite tools for staying cool without air conditioning. By placing it in the corner of the room and angling it towards the ceiling, you can circulate air in your room better, keeping you and everyone around you cooler.

Nod by Tuft & Needle

Photograph: Amazon

Though we haven’t tested this specific mattress, we’re fans of Tuft & Needle. The Mint Mattress is great for pressure relief, with its medium-firmness. This hybrid seems to be more along the lines of the Casper, with the foam and coal combo. Regardless, if you don’t mesh with the mattress, you have a 100-night trial to return it.

Solo Stove Yukon

Photograph: Solo Stove

Nothing taught me to love the great outdoors like a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. Seriously, I wanted to get outside at every chance I could, and when it was far too chilly I dreamt of something like the Solo Stove Yukon to gather round. This is a perfect setup for hosting friends, roasting smores, and enjoying your backyard (almost) year-round.

Expired Deals

These deals may or may not come back in stock, so if you see something you like, check it out. You might get lucky. 

Fellow Ode

Photograph: Fellow

Most of the time, a conical grinder will be your best bet. However, a flat burr grinder has a special place in the coffee kingdom — it makes for good pour-over and drip coffee. The Fellow Ode has a consistent, coarse grind quickly, and it’s easier to keep clean. The chic design and sturdy build don’t hurt, either.

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, or so someone much smarter than I once said. If true, it’s important we actually get into a deep, restful sleep so we can actually drift off into a dream. We love the Hatch Rest for kids, so we think the Hatch Restore would be great for an adult looking to add a white noise machine to their bedtime routine. 

I’m a gal with complicated needs who likes to live her life in the least complicated way possible, especially when it comes to coffee. The less steps, the better first thing in the morning. The Mr. Coffee One-Touch takes that concept and runs with it, allowing you to make a cappuccino, or a latte with the press of a button after you grind your beans. If you’re in need of something a little more affordable, though, the Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista Espresso and Cappuccino Machine is on sale for $150 ($50 off).

Let’s face it—it’s really hard to actually eat all the perishable groceries we get. A nice solution to that is a vacuum sealer. FoodSaver makes a reliable, relatively low-profile vacuum sealer machine. This lets you store your food longer and stash the machine away easily. Plus, it’s a great addition to your sous vide tools.

The Hisense U8G is a fantastic Android TV featuring a quantum dot panel, a 120-Hz refresh rate, and legs high enough to fit your favorite soundbar. This deal is only $2 more than the lowest we’ve seen, so we definitely think it’s worth it. If you’re looking for something more basic to add to your home, the Hisense U6 50-inch 4K TV is on sale for $340 ($190 off).

When you do want all of Meta to see you, there’s the Portal. WIRED senior associate reviews editor Adrienne So loves the Portal. Yes, it’s made by Meta, but it’s kind of a great device anyway and it’s been discontinued so if you want one this is probably your last chance.

All smart bulbs aren’t created equal, and the Cync Smart Light Bulbs are the best of them. It’s not that we expected them to be bad during testing, but we definitely didn’t expect them to be as easy to set up as they were. The app allows you to cycle through various colors, set schedules, and pair with Google or Alexa.

The Cync Outdoor Smart Plug is our favorite outdoor plug, and with good reason. You can control them through the app, making those nights when you forget to shut off the string lights much easier. We haven’t tested the Cync Indoor Smart Plug, but we imagine it’s just as good and it’s only $10 ($5 off).

Though this camera technically lives indoors, the Panasonic HomeHawk is meant to watch the outdoors. It sticks to the inside of your window and records a clear picture at a 150-degree angle. You’ll need to get a microSD card to store your footage, but those are cheap and easy to come by.
