Best Tech Deals

Asus ZenWiFi XT8

Photograph: Asus

As the top pick in our best mesh routers guide for the past few years, this tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router two-pack comes pre-paired for easy setup. It scored consistently high for speed and stability, and will cover the average home. You get Wi-Fi on the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands, with an extra 5-GHz band for wireless backhaul (traffic between the main router and the node). Asus mesh systems are great because they come with free, comprehensive security software and parental controls (no subscription required). The XT8 is also highly customizable, boasts a guest network, and offers traffic prioritization for specific activities, such as video calls, gaming, and more. —Simon Hill

Listed in our Best Routers guide as the best option for folks looking to try Wi-Fi 6E, this hexagonal Asus router performed well in my tests. It is a tri-band router, adding the 6-GHz band to the familiar 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz. The new band allows for much faster speeds but is relatively low range and doesn’t penetrate through walls very well. This router has a 2.5-Gbps WAN/LAN port, a second 1-Gbps WAN/LAN, and three gigabit LANs. Asus also provides free security and parental controls and tons of options in the mobile app and browser interface, including band-splitting, prioritization for different activities, guest network, VPN support, and the list goes on. —Simon Hill

This router is at the top of our best routers guide and is affordable even when it’s not discounted for Prime Day. It’s a dual-band (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) router that should be plenty fast for most families and offers suitable coverage for an average-sized home with an internet connection of 1 Gbps or less. Connectivity is generous, with four gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, a single gigabit WAN port, and a USB 3.0 port. Set up is super simple, TP-Link’s Tether app is very accessible, and basic security and features like QoS (Quality of Service) are included. Unfortunately, enhanced security and parental controls require subscriptions (Security+ is $5 a month or $36 a year and Advanced Parental Controls costs $3 a month or $18 a year). This router is frequently discounted, but this is a good price. —Simon Hill

TPLink Deco X20 mesh WiFi system

Photograph: TP-Link

The TP-Link Deco X20 is a Wi-Fi 6 dual-band (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) mesh system that provides reliable Wi-Fi on a budget. It’s not the fastest mesh, but it is easy to set up and performed consistently well in my tests. If your internet connection is 500 Mbps or less, this mesh is likely enough for you. Each router has two gigabit Ethernet ports, and the vaselike design blends in easily in any room. For enhanced security and parental controls, you must subscribe (Security+ costs $5 a month or $36 a year, and Advanced Parental Controls costs $3 a month or $18 a year). But, even with the subscriptions, the X20 is a relatively affordable way to up your Wi-Fi game. —Simon Hill

It is still early days for Wi-Fi 7, but the list of devices that support it is growing fast and includes the latest iPhone 16 range. One of the first Wi-Fi 7 mesh systems to hit the market, the Deco BE85 (7/10, WIRED Review) was eye-wateringly expensive when it first landed, but a hefty discount makes it far more tempting. As TP-Link’s flagship, this mesh is unrivaled on performance, and each router boasts four auto-sensing WAN/LAN Ethernet ports, two 10-Gbps ports, two 2.5-Gbps ports, and a USB 3.0 port. It delivered expansive coverage and excellent performance in my tests, but you need a multi-gig internet connection and plenty of Wi-Fi 7 devices to really take advantage. It may be overkill for most folks, but if you want fast Wi-Fi for the next few years, the BE85 can deliver it. —Simon Hill

This tri-band mesh system (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) scored some of the fastest speeds we have recorded, delivered consistently wide coverage, and blew away all the competition at close range. It only made the honorable mentions of our best mesh routers guide because it was so expensive when it was first tested. At this price, it’s worth a look. It uses the 6-GHz band for backhaul, so the routers ideally need line of sight (or better, Ethernet cable connection). The simple app offers most features you will need, but there’s no internet speed test, and subscriptions are required for real-time security and proper parental controls. —Simon Hill

This is our favorite wearable reading light, and it also makes an excellent gift for bookworms. It might look a little silly, but it performs well, and you won’t have to clip it anywhere. It’s very lightweight and comfortable even during long reading sessions. There are three color temperature modes and six brightness settings, and the rechargeable light offers up to 80 hours of battery life per charge. There are a few different colors to choose from. —Louryn Strampe

Click the coupon button to see the discount at checkout. This little Bluetooth mic is one of our favorite gifts for music lovers and favorite pieces of gear for less than $30. The mic pairs with your phone and has built-in reverb and delay, so you’ll sound like a pop-starrier version of yourself. It’s also available in a kaleidoscope of different colors. The speaker is baked right into the handle so you won’t need any special equipment to host a karaoke gathering with your friends. Or yourself. You do you. —Louryn Strampe

This set of wireless microphones from Australian audio brand RØDE works well if you’re always filming on the go. You just clip each mic to the lapel of the person you want to record, and it records wirelessly for you to use later. It’s a really simple solution that makes it so you don’t have to mess with traditional (and often annoying) Lavalier microphone setups like you’ve seen on late-night TV. —Parker Hall

As the most secure pick in our best USB flash drives guide, the Kingston IronKey is packed with security features. Run Kingston’s software to set up a password or passphrase, use the virtual keyboard to guard against keyloggers, and rest assured the contents will be automatically erased after 10 wrong attempts. It is FIPS 197 certified and has 256-bit AES-XTS encryption, offers protection against brute-force attacks and BadUSB, and is manufactured in the US so is TAA compliant. In other words, this drive is as secure as they come. —Simon Hill

The Western Digital WD Black SN770 is our favorite bare drive, whether you’re putting it in your laptop or PC or sticking it in an external case to use as a portable drive. The SN 770 is an M.2 2280 drive (check your PC’s specs to see if that fits) and achieved speeds of 5,100 Mbps in my testing, which is blazing fast. If you’re doing a lot of drive-intensive tasks, like editing video or gaming, this drive is well worth the money. —Scott Gilbertson

Crucial’s X9 Pro is our pick for photographers because it hits the sweet spot of speed and portability, making it great for backups in the field. The X10 featured in this deal is even faster than the X9 if your PC supports USB 2X2. (The latest Intel chips support this spec, but Apple does not, so there’s no point in buying the X10 Pro if you have a Mac.) In my testing I got up to 2,050 Mbps transfer speeds, which are some of the fastest on the market. If your hardware supports it, the X10 Pro is worth the extra money. —Scott Gilbertson

The Anker 778 is one of our older picks for the Best Laptop Docking Stations, and it’s still a great choice when it goes on sale. It can support up to four 4K displays at once, has six USB ports for connecting all your peripherals, and offers up to 100W of pass-through charging for all your devices. —Eric Ravenscraft

The Elegoo Saturn 3 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of my personal favorite gadgets. Just, in general. It’s unbelievably cool to download a little file, fire up this 3D printer, and watch a physical object slowly emerge out of a basin of goo. It’s the most sci-fi thing in my life, and the Saturn 3 Ultra is one of the best tools I’ve used for the job. It has a generous print volume, Wi-Fi printing, and an insanely detailed 12K screen, meaning you can get a ton of intricate detail in very small models, all without noticeable print lines. —Eric Ravenscraft

Since moving into my new house, my favorite smart home gadget has been the Chamberlain Smart Garage Door Opener, which lets me control my garage door from anywhere. Between my two-year-old stealing the physical button the builders gave me and my husband previously turning around to check if he really closed the garage door, the Chamberlain MyQ Smart Garage Door Opener (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has made an immediate improvement in our lives. It replaces the garage door opener with one you can control remotely over Wi-Fi and has a built-in camera too. No more fighting my kid for the magic button, or insisting my husband definitely did close the garage: now we open the MyQ app and solve these problems immediately. I also like having alerts if I leave the garage door open too long, and the built-in camera lets you check on things, too. Pair it with the MyQ Video Keypad ($55) to have a video doorbell and entry code for your smart garage. —Nena Farrell

If you’re looking to upgrade your garage door without replacing the opener, never fear: there’s a way to do that, too, and it’s on sale. Chamberlain’s Smart Garage Control is a gadget you can add onto your existing garage door opener to make it Wi-Fi controlled. You won’t get extras like the built-in camera, but you’ll be able to control it the same way over the MyQ app like you would with the full on garage door replacement. Might be good to add on the MyQ Smart Garage Camera ($30) to control in the same MyQ app if you’re wishing for a video feed, though. —Nena Farrell

Cync, made by appliance and electronics brand GE, makes fantastic smart bulbs. So fantastic, that the Full Color Direct Connect line is our favorite smart bulb ever. They’re colorful, vibrant, easy to set up, and work with both Alexa and Google’s voice assistants. This two-pack is almost half off, so you’re getting one bulb basically for free. (A little bit of girl math there, but you get me.) Stock up on a few packs and deck out the whole house in these well-priced, easy-to-use bulbs. —Nena Farrell

Smart plugs are pretty darn handy to turn almost anything into a smart device without changing anything about the device itself. They’re best on lamps, but can also be used on Christmas lights, TVs, coffee makers, or even your router (no more hunting it down to reset it, just turn the smart plug off and then back on after 30 seconds!) TP-Link makes a variety of great smart plugs, including the Kasa Smart line.

The Kasa Smart Plug Mini is nice and small, making it easy to use without blocking a neighboring outlet. Use the app to make routines and scenes like you would smart lights, so that your house comes to life for you, or to act like you’re home when you aren’t. This four-pack is a great deal to upgrade multiple lamps and devices around your home. If you want just one, individuals are on sale too for $7 each. —Nena Farrell

Click the coupon button to see the discount at checkout. For my Siri-loving friends, this is the smart plug for you. Meross makes some of the more expensive smart plugs, but they’re one of the few that play nice with Apple, making sale season a perfect time to score some of your own. It still can work with Google and Alexa, too, if you think you might change your voice assistant of choice down the line. The Meross Wi-Fi Smart Plug Mini is a nice petite size to fit into an outlet without blocking the other outlet. You’ll also score four smart plugs with this on-sale pack, making the price tag for each one a little closer to its cheaper, non-Apple-compatible competitors. —Nena Farrell

This gorgeous Edison-style bulb from Philips has been in my bedroom sconces for five years now, and I have no plans to change it. It works via Bluetooth or a Philips Hue Bridge ($54) so I can either control it remotely when I’m in my room, or set up a hub to control it from afar and set up automated routines. While it can’t do colors like other smart bulbs, you can adjust the brightness of the bulb, dimming or brightening the filament inside of it. It’s bright enough to fill a master bedroom, and downright beautiful to have peeking out of my bedside lights. —Nena Farrell

The most iconic smart light bulb is easily the Philips Hue. The bulb has been around for ages, and the bulbs usually require a Philips Hue Bridge ($54) to make it work. Philips Hue also makes tons of accessories, and sells their bulbs in bundles with the hub, a couple bulbs, and sometimes extra accessories. Several solid bundles are on sale. The classic is the two-bulb starter kit with a hub that’s on sale for $90, but you can also score a kit with a third bulb and a smart switch discounted to $126, or get a dimmer switch with your two bulbs on sale for $120. The choice is yours—just make sure to count how many bulbs you need to make sure you buy the right size kit. —Nena Farrell

The Skylight Frame is an honorable mention from our guide to the best digital picture frames. It looks great on your shelf, and it’s easy to zoom in on a photo using the frame’s touchscreen. It’s not quite as high resolution as our other recommendations, but if you aren’t planning to look too closely or want a digital frame for a nice discount, this one is great to grab. The Skylight can display in either landscape or portrait mode, and comes with a wall mounting kit if you don’t want to prop it up on a shelf or table. There’s a subscription level, but we don’t think you need it. —Nena Farrell

The Aura Carver is our top pick for digital photo frames, but right now you can get the upgraded Carver Mat for the same price you’d get the regular model for. The Carver Mat upgrades the 10.1-inch digital photo frame’s look to give it a mat-style frame job, and looks much more than just a $30 upgrade. And right now that $30 extra is gone, thanks to Amazon Prime Day. Aura’s a fantastic brand for digital photo frames thanks to how easy the frames are to set up and manage with the app, letting you easily add photos from your camera roll or Google Photos. You can even scan your kid’s drawings with the Aura app to then display. —Nena Farrell

Many of our favorite smart lighting devices are made by Govee, including this colorful, bright, segmented light strip that is perfect for recessed spots, under beds, or behind furniture. This light strip doesn’t just change color and brightness, it can also be animated, sync with music, and be voice-controlled through Google or Alexa. It can be fiddly to install the adhesive-backed strip, so plan carefully, measure first, and try to hide it so you get the splashed light but don’t see the strip directly. The 100-foot strip on sale here comes in two 50-foot rolls. —Simon Hill

The Govee smart light system is one of the more affordable smart light systems out there and we have a whole guide to the best lights in just this one ecosystem. The Envisual T2 set is Govee’s go at ambient TV lighting that complements what’s on your screen, helping your movies and shows pop more. —Eric Ravenscraft

Best Home Deals

Photograph: Dyson

Dyson’s Ball Animal 3 vacuum (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is great for unruly pet hair. It has more bin capacity than the previous version and comes with a Motorbar cleaner head with detangling hair-removal vanes. It has three different power modes to choose from: one for deep- and medium-pile carpets, another for low-pile carpets and large debris, and one for ground-in dirt and hardwood floors. It’s easy to maneuver, especially around awkward spaces and tight corners, and the bin never clogs up with fur. It is heavy and loud, though. But aside from that, it’s an excellent corded vacuum for pet owners. —Brenda Stolyar

Photograph: Roborock

For two years, Roborock’s Q5 line was our top pick for Best Robot Vacuum. Roborock has since enlarged its lineup, and the Q5 is now the entry-level vac (the Pro refers to increased suction, and the + refers to the docking station). However, the Q5 Pro+ still has a self-emptying bin, dual vacuum/mop capabilities, and solid lidar navigation controlled by a simple app. For reliable, hassle-free cleaning (and now for a very good price), it’s hard to do better than a Roborock. —Adrienne So

The Matrix is the newest version of the Shark AI Ultra, the 2-in-1 mopping vacuum that earned a “Most Improved Award” from me in 2022. Like most companies that purport to offer maximum value for minimum price, Shark has products that can be hit or miss. Happily, however, the Matrix is one of the hits, as I found it to be a reliable cleaning companion with quick and accurate mapping, multifunctional mopping, and vacuuming. It doesn’t need replacement dust bags—which is both a blessing and a curse, as the self-emptying dustbin sometimes doesn’t empty quite all the way. —Adrienne So

Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen)

Photograph: Nena Farrell

The latest Nest Learning Thermostat (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is easy to set up, looks gorgeous, with three pretty finishes, and boasts a helpful AI-powered Smart Schedule and a temperature sensor you can place anywhere in the home. Keeping your home at the right temperature has never been easier. This is the first discount we’ve seen for this new model. —Simon Hill

This is Yeedi’s higher-end mopping robot vacuum, and Yeedi has won another “Most Improved” award from us. I found this to be a reliable cleaning companion, and it even has an extendable arm for exploring nooks and crannies. The clean/dirty water tanks are also enormous. At the original $900 price, the Eufy options are better, but this is a great price for a mopping robot vacuum that you won’t have to refresh nearly so often. —Adrienne So

The Eufy X10 Pro Omni (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is so much better than its predecessor that I can hardly believe it, and it doesn’t cost $1,400 (and it’s even cheaper on Prime Day). Now with a self-emptying bin, and a hilarious AI obstacle recognition system that errs on the side of caution and tends to identify a lot of non-poop-related items as poop. Mapping is seamless and includes the ability to save multiple floors; mopping is excellent, and the dirty and clean water bins click into the top without wasting space with unnecessary housing. It is great, and now it’s even more affordable. —Adrienne So

Kohler Purewash Bidet

Photograph: Kohler

This Kohler bidet attachment is our pick as the best bidet for most people, narrowly edging out better-known offerings from Toto, the Japanese company that invented the attachable bidet seat. The C3 is easy to install (expect to spend about a half hour unless your toilet is wedged into a corner where it’s hard to reach the valves), has a sleek look, and is normally a few hundred bucks cheaper than the Toto with the same features, which include backup buttons on the seat itself (in case the remote dies) and a UV sanitization light. Right now it’s a steal at below $600. —Martin Cizmar

The best smart shades can be expensive, but if you already have a roller blind you can make it smart with this clever retrofit gadget from Eve. Check compatibility by measuring the circumference of the tube inside your existing roller shade. This kit works with Matter, so you can use it with your platform of choice, but you will also need a home hub (with Apple HomeKit, for example, that is a HomePod mini, HomePod, or Apple TV) if you want to schedule it to open and close automatically or use voice commands. Mine works great and I love the handy pull chain as a simple control backup, but it is a bit noisy. —Simon Hill

The Homedics Large Room Tower Air Purifier can complete the recommended air exchange in a 349-square-foot room every 12.5 minutes; this is a slightly larger area than the Homedics Smart Air Purifier T200 that I included in our Best Air Purifiers guide. At under $300, the Tower Air has a UV-C light that can deactivate viruses and bacteria, a HEPA, an activated Carbon Odor Filter for VOCs, and a prefilter that captures larger airborne particles. While it’s not Wi-Fi-enabled to work with an app or voice-activated assistant, it has a color-coded particle sensor that can automatically adjust the fan speed depending on indoor air quality. And like its smaller sibling, the T200, the Tower Air has a tray for essential oils that do not impact indoor air quality like air-polluting room air freshener sprays or plug-in air fresheners. —Lisa Wood Shapiro

When I included the rocket-shaped Shark NeverChange Air Purifier Max in WIRED’s lineup of the Best Air Purifiers of 2024, I recommended it as the ideal gift for your dorm-bound loved ones. Standing just under 2 feet tall, the NeverChange can be placed as close as 3 inches from a wall, making it a good fit for crowded spaces. The average American dorm room is around 230 square feet, and the Shark NeverChange succeeds at exchanging the air the five recommended times per hour—perfect for a multiple-person dorm room. One caveat: To achieve that level of air purification, the NeverChange must be at its highest setting, which is to say its loudest setting. The NeverChange HEPA filter captures fine particles along with an activated carbon filter to trap odors and gases. It also includes Shark’s own “Odor Neutralizer Technology,” a small cartridge filled with an “Ocean Breeze” fragrance pod that looks like solid perfume. I would skip this, as I didn’t care for the scent. —Lisa Wood Shapiro

The Mighty from air purifier stalwarts Coway might have the best bang for your buck when it comes to getting good air. It made our list of WIRED’s Best Air Purifiers of 2024, and at under $250, the Mighty can handily clean a 361-square-foot room, exchanging the air the recommended 4.8 times per hour. Note that this is based on running the Mighty at its highest and loudest setting at 53 decibels. As I’ve written before, you most likely won’t want that kind of white noise 24/7, so I suggest fitting the Mighty in a room around 200 square feet or smaller to run it at a quieter setting while still benefiting from a high air exchange rate. The Mighty has a built-in air sensor and air quality light with Coway’s color system that is sometimes confusing, as it’s the same as the US Air Quality Index standards of green for good, red for unhealthy, and purple for very unhealthy. At just over 12 pounds, the boxlike Mighty feels lighter than that with its easy-to-grab back handle. It isn’t compatible with Google Home or Amazon’s Alexa, nor does it have a remote or app. —Lisa Wood Shapiro

The Coway Airmega ProX is the monolith your high-ceilinged home needs. If you’re living in an A-frame, loft, or any home with a ceiling higher than 8 feet, then the Coway Airmega ProX is for you. The ProX reminds me of the TARS robot from Interstellar crossed with a giant stereo speaker. It’s blend-into-the-room-beige and can clean the air four times per hour in a 1,000-foot-space running at its highest setting. And even at its highest setting, the ProX delivers its maximum air cleaning power at 46 decibels, slightly quieter than rain, making it one of the quieter large tower air purifiers I’ve tested. The control panel features Coway’s real-time air quality indicator light that goes from blue to purple, along with the PM 2.5 number that’s sometimes difficult to read depending on the angle. There are three customizable airflow speeds. I prefer to leave it on auto mode, as its air sensor adjusts the fan speed. I was able to move the 50-pound ProX by its handle and built-in wheels. While the ProX is one of the more expensive models I’ve tested, the five-year warranty puts it in the wise investment category. —Lisa Wood Shapiro

The HealthSmart humidifier lamp is an LED lamp that sheds gentle multicolored light, which can help you wind down at bedtime. It’s one of our picks in our guide to Gifts for People Who Just Need a Good Night’s Sleep, and right now it’s on sale for almost half its original price. The humidifier inside plays two roles to help bring on the Zzzs. First, if you’re stuffy or a little sick, a humidifier can help keep your nasal passages from getting too inflamed while you sleep. It can also be used to diffuse essential oils for a little aromatherapy or to just freshen a room. (Just know that some essential oils can be dangerous to pets.) This humidifier lamp also features a smart touch panel to control the lighting (which has seven different colors that can cycle or stay on one), mist modes, and a timer. —Molly Higgins

The most iconic smart light bulb is easily the Philips Hue. The bulb has been around for ages, and the bulbs usually require a Philips Hue Hub to make it work. Philips Hue also makes tons of accessories, and sells their bulbs in bundles with the hub, a couple bulbs, and sometimes extra accessories. Several solid bundles are on sale. The classic is the two-bulb starter kit with a hub that’s on sale for $90, but you can also score a kit with a third bulb and a smart switch discounted to $126, or get a dimmer switch with your two bulbs on sale for $120. The choice is yours—just make sure to count how many bulbs you need to make sure you buy the right size kit. —Nena Farrell

Every Nectar mattress I’ve tested (three now) has been on the soft side for my taste, which is why Nectar is not ranked highly on our guide to the Best Mattresses. But this bed-in-a-box company has a loyal following. If your top priority is pressure relief, this gel memory foam mattress offers a very soft and cloudlike sleeping surface with lots of sink. If you don’t like it, Nectar also offers a 365-day return window. —Martin Cizmar

Photograph: Nectar

The main differences between the regular Nectar above and this upgrade are that the Premier is a little softer and offers a cooling cover. It’s even better for pressure relief and motion transfer if those are your priorities. —Martin Cizmar

This is our top pick in our Best Pillows guide, and it’s not hard—in fact, it’s rather soft and squishy—to see why. I live in Texas, where it’s summer nine months out of the year, and this pillow still manages to stay cool throughout the night. It features a multilayer structure with a sturdy foam core to keep its shape, flanked by softer memory core layers to cushion your head. No matter how many pillows I test, I keep finding myself reaching for this one when I need a really good nap. —Eric Ravenscraft

Many folks find watches and other wearables uncomfortable when they’re trying to sleep, so this clever sleep tracking mat that goes under your mattress is a nice alternative. Easy to set up and use, it tracks your heart rate, breaks your sleep cycle down into phases, and can detect snoring. The mat syncs with the Withings Health Mate app to show your data each morning. It appears in our best sleep gadgets and best sleep trackers guides. —Simon Hill

This 57-inch pillow combines popular body- and pregnancy-pillow U and C shapes for a unique form that provides all-around support to your back and stomach. It’s perfect for side sleepers and is like having three pillows in one—it conforms to both your back and belly while supporting the head, and the bottom part is long enough to support the legs, knees, and hip joints. This unique shape even curls for ankle support, ensuring that no joint goes unsupported. It strikes a perfect balance between softness and support and retains its shape without too much fill movement. Bonus: It comes in multiple cover types, so you can opt for a lighter cotton fabric cover if you sleep hot. —Molly Higgins

The Zinus Abel bed frame is one of our top picks. WIRED reviewer Nena Farrell has successfully used it in three different apartments. It’s easy to break down into several metal rods, and it’s fast to rebuild once you’ve settled in. The bed frame has room underneath for storage bins (or piles of laundry that you just don’t want to think about yet.) If you’re in the market for a mattress too, here are some recommendations. —Louryn Strampe

This Roxicosly clock is one of the most reviewed nontraditional alarm clocks on Amazon and is one I tested for my guide to the best extreme alarm clocks. It’s semi-customizable, as the buzzer goes up to 106 decibels with a bed shaker that can be used separately or together with the alarm. The vibrations provide a more subtle way to wake up by forgoing the jarring alarm sounds, and the escalating pattern of the buzzing helps ease the snoozer into wakefulness. The vibrations, along with the noise and adjustable intensity, helped me wake up easily—without making me feel like I needed to immediately turn it off so I didn’t have a cardiac event. I woke up without hitting the snooze button too much or turning off the alarm altogether. I’ll count that as a win. —Molly Higgins

Arlo ticks all the boxes with this security camera, including crisp 2K video at 24 frames per second, two-way audio, and a compact design that includes a privacy shutter. The Arlo app is swift to load, offers excellent notifications, and supports two-factor authentication, so you can log in with your fingerprint or face, phone permitting. Sadly, you need a pricey subscription (Arlo Secure costs $8 per month for one camera or $13 per month for unlimited cameras) for subject recognition, smart alerts, and cloud storage. This is the upgrade pick in our best indoor security cameras guide. —Simon Hill

This is one of the best indoor security cameras you can buy because it’s capable of recognizing faces, so it can tell you when your kids come home. I also like the understated style. With HDR, the 1080p video quality is clear at 30 fps, with automatic night vision when it’s dark. There’s also decent two-way audio, and enforced two-factor authentication, which is important for an indoor camera. The big downside is that you need a Nest Aware subscription costing $8 per month ($80/year) for 30 days of event video history and familiar face alerts, but that does cover all your Nest devices. —Simon Hill

Photograph: Nest

The perfect outdoor security camera for Google households, Nest Cam Outdoor has a handy magnetic mount that makes it easy to angle the camera. It has an expansive 130-degree field of view, captures sharp 1080p video with HDR and night vision, and boasts a clear speaker and microphone. You only get three hours of free event history, but you can add a Nest Aware subscription ($8 a month, or $80 for the whole year) to get 30 days of event history and face recognition, which is super handy. —Simon Hill

There’s something to be said for a two-camera kit with a home hub, like this one from Eufy, which is our upgrade pick for folks seeking a local, subscription-free system in our best outdoor security cameras guide. The EufyCam 3 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has built-on solar for battery top-ups, video resolution goes all the way up to 4K, and there’s 16 GB of local storage (expandable up to 16 TB) on the connected HomeBase 3 hub. You also get on-device people, pet, and vehicle recognition, and this system can even recognize familiar faces, though it’s not as good as Google’s Nest cams at that trick. —Simon Hill

If you get loads of packages delivered, you might appreciate Eufy’s dual camera doorbell, as it affords you a view of your porch floor and front step, alongside the usual picture of whoever is standing there. This is the best subscription-free option in our best video doorbells guide, as it has 8 GB of built-in storage for local recording (you can connect to a HomeBase 3 hub for more). The 2K footage is crisp and clear and there’s on-device people, package, and even face detection, though it’s not always accurate and this doorbell can be laggy when connecting away from home. —Simon Hill

I’ve barely thought about this wired doorbell from Reolink since I installed it for testing more than a year ago. Which, really, is the best thing you can say about a video doorbell. The app works well, allowing you to view or speak remotely with ease without charging you a monthly fee. The camera is crisp even at night. The chime allows you to pick between one in 10 options—changing the sound is something I should do, now that I think about it. —Martin Cizmar

This gadget helps transform the vibe of any room. Simply place it on the floor, plug it in, and aim it toward the wall to create a halolike effect with pops of rainbow colors. It’ll make your space feel super cozy. My only gripe is that it comes with a short cord, so you’ll have to plug it into a power strip if you want to place it in a desired spot. It’s easy to accidentally knock over too, so I wouldn’t put it anywhere with a lot of foot traffic. —Brenda Stolyar

Smart plugs are pretty darn handy to turn almost anything into a smart device without changing anything about the device itself. They’re best on lamps, but can also be used on Christmas lights, TVs, coffee makers, or even your router (no more hunting it down to reset it, just turn the smart plug off and then back on after 30 seconds!) TP-Link makes a variety of great smart plugs, including the Kasa Smart line. The Kasa Smart Plug Mini is nice and small, making it easy to use without blocking a neighboring outlet. Use the app to make routines and scenes like you would smart lights, so that your house comes to life for you, or to act like you’re home when you aren’t. This four-pack is a great deal to upgrade multiple lamps and devices around your home. If you want just one, individuals are on sale too for $7 each. —Nena Farrell

Click the coupon to see the discount at checkout. These affordable Govee Wi-Fi water sensors are quick and easy to install, and send alerts as push notifications and emails to warn you when there’s a leak. With a very loud siren (100 decibels) you will hear them if you are home, and you can shut off the sound from the app. The sensors are compact with drip detection on top and metal feet for leak detection beneath. Alerts triggered within a few seconds in my tests, earning them a place in our best water leak detectors guide. The app is basic but works well and gives you an alert history. The sensors do require a Govee Wi-Fi hub (included), which needs a power outlet, and it’s big enough that it may block an adjacent outlet. Each sensor also needs two AA batteries (provided). —Simon Hill

The Nanit Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has everything a data nerd parent could ever want in a smart baby monitor: customizable alerts, recaps of how baby’s night was (like how often they wake up or get out of the crib), and even the ability to track baby’s breathing and height if you get the compatible accessories. The Nanit is also sleek and easy to set up and uses Wi-Fi to both analyze the video feed and alert your phone. There’s no handheld console, just your smartphone, which you can turn into a constant monitor or just get alerts if the baby makes a lot of noise or wakes up. Nanit’s coolest tricks require accessories like its Breathing Band to track a baby’s breathing rate, or Nanit’s Smart Sheets to log the baby’s height. But even without these accessories, the Nanit is an impressive monitor that gives you quick alerts, informative recaps, and is easy to use whether you’re monitoring your baby from home or afar. —Nena Farrell

Cheap sheets often aren’t great. There’s a reason the majority of sheets we recommend are over $100. But Bedsure’s Bamboo Sheets are one of the few affordable sheet sets we love. It’s silky and cool to the touch, especially for the price point. What makes them a little cheaper than other bamboo sheets is they’re made from bamboo rayon, rather than viscose, which is better for the environment. Bedsure’s prices vary based on which color sheets you choose, but most of the sheets usually retail for $60, so you can get a nice little discount right now for Prime Day. —Nena Farrell

Enter code WIRED at checkout to see the full discount. Head off from Amazon to find Cozy Earth’s Cozy Days sale. The sale includes the Bamboo Sheet Set, some of the softest sheets I’ve ever slept on (and I sleep on sheets for a living!) They’re incredibly cool to the touch and silky soft, but warm up as you lay in bed to become super cozy. The sheets are made with 100 percent bamboo viscose, which is a better choice than cheaper bamboo rayon, and fold down super small, too. It’s a great luxurious sheet set that usually feels a little too expensive to casually buy, so don’t miss this sale price. —Nena Farrell

If you’re looking for a baby monitor that will keep Wi-Fi and recorded video clips out of your baby’s nursery, this is the baby monitor for you. The Eufy Spaceview Baby Monitor (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a radio-based monitor, meaning it uses radio signals to send the video feed to only the included handheld monitor and nowhere else. There’s no recording or rewinding, but it’s a perfect low-maintenance monitor for most parents. It tends to be a split second faster than Wi-Fi monitors, too, since it doesn’t have to send video to the cloud and then alert your phone, it’s a truly live feed. The camera is adjustable from the monitor controls, so you can move it around to see your kid if they wiggle into a weird corner of the crib, and there’s a two-way microphone. —Nena Farrell

Medela has been in the breast pump game for a while, but one of their latest breast pump is the Freestyle (7/10, WIRED Recommends), which has wearable cups and a separate motor you can wear around your wrist or stick in your pocket while you pump. My favorite thing about the Medela Freestyle is how few parts it is to clean—each cup has three pieces to clean, six pieces total. That’s it! Other pumps I’ve tried have had five or six items per pump, and the Medela’s pieces are easier to clean and put together, too. It’s super lightweight, too, since the heavy motor isn’t sitting in your shirt. And with such a big discount, there’s no better time to grab the Freestyle for yourself. —Nena Farrell

The Hatch Restore 2 is one of the prettiest sunrise alarm clocks and sound machines you can find, and it has a nice range of both colorful lights and sounds it can play. The sleek half-circle has two buttons at the top to activate the Rest and Rise routines that you’ll set up in the Hatch app for your perfect bedtime and wake-up sound and light combinations. The Hatch isn’t quite bright enough to double as a bedside lamp, but it makes for a great companion to lull yourself to sleep. —Nena Farrell

If you want a truly tiny sound machine—maybe for a trip to help you sleep without taking up precious cargo space, or your bedside table is already too cluttered for your own good—the Restnature Sound Machine fits the bill. The itty bitty sound machine is palm-sized and could easily fit into a pocket, but even with such a petite size it still has a variety of 16 different sounds to choose from, plus 30-, 60-, and 90-minute timer options. It’s already a cheap sound machine, but it’s extra cheap right now. —Nena Farrell

The Snooz Smart White Noise Machine isn’t smart because of the noises it has—it just has a single whirring fan noise, generated by the real fan inside of it. What makes it smart is the connected app that lets you create schedules and control it remotely. Or, skip the app entirely and use the on-device controls. While there’s just the one sound, there are 10 different volume levels and options to have the fan sound fade in or out. It’s a bit pricey for a sound machine that only offers one sound, making this sale a good time to go for it. —Nena Farrell

I love reading with my Kindle in bed, but my wrists hate it. There’s an easy solution, though: the Lamicall Tablet Holder, which works for most tablets, Kindles, and even a Nintendo Switch. I have the arm clip version, but the floor mount is great if you want to easily move it from room to room without needing to secure it on furniture, or have delicate furniture you don’t want to damage. It’s usually pretty pricey, making this sale a perfect tie to snag it. —Nena Farrell

Adding a bidet sounds expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. The Tushy Classic 3.0 is an attachment you can add onto any existing toilet, and it doesn’t require an electric power line, so no need for a nearby outlet or cord running through your bathroom to use it. It’s a great bidet with plenty of water power. It’s an easy option for renters to use and bring along to their next address, or homeowners who want to try out a bidet without making a big investment. —Nena Farrell

The baby stage is filled with tummy time and floor play, but you might not just want to plop your baby on the ground. Instead, we like Regalo’s Play Mat for a safe crawl and tummy time space. It’s reversible and waterproof, so you can switch up designs to stimulate your kiddo’s growing brain, and it can survive spit-up moments. It’s got a travel strap so you can wrap it up and bring it to a different room or even grandma’s house. —Nena Farrell

A lot of reviewers here at WIRED like Owala’s reusable water bottles for humans, and we’re also a fan of the brand’s water bowls for pets. The Owala pet bowl has a rubbery grip on the bottom to stop it from slipping around, and the stainless steel holds up after many dishwasher runs. Most vets and cat experts will tell you to use stainless steel or glass bowls for your pet’s food and water because plastic holds onto bacteria, which can result in cat acne. This bowl comes in both 24- and 48-ounce sizes and is durable enough to be used for food or water, is dishwasher safe, and even keeps water colder for longer because of the insulated stainless steel design. —Molly Higgins

Dog DNA tests have grown in popularity for those wanting to identify the breed(s) of their mutts or rescues (though a study found many tests to be less than accurate for this purpose), but what about cats, for which there are fewer breeds? As detailed in our guide to the Best Cat Toys, Litter Boxes and Supplies, the true value of Basepaws’ cat DNA test is in its keys to your cat’s health—our Gear team reviewers received a 70-page PDF measuring their cats’ results against 114 markers including whether they were carriers, at regular risk, or at high risk of many disorders, as well as their blood type, all of which could be useful in making critical health decisions. —Kat Merck

As a fan of merino wool, I’ve found out the hard way that you need to keep your wool safe from moths (actually it’s the larvae that eat wool, but whatever). You can use mothballs if you want to smell like the 1950s. Or you can use compression bags like these. This deal gets you eight bags, which is more than enough to store a wardrobe full of wool. —Scott Gilbertson

Cleaning poop out of litter trays is the downside of having cats in your life, so automatic cleaning trays that do at least some of it for you are tempting. The Neakasa M1 Self-Cleaning Litter Box (7/10, WIRED Review) is a great option for cats who prefer a traditional litter box with an open-top. It has sensors, so it cleans when your cat leaves, and rotates backward and then forward, instead of spinning. The app isn’t great, but this box is relatively affordable, especially with the current discount. —Simon Hill

Purina’s Petivity (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a more affordable way to monitor your cat’s health without having to fork over $700 for an automatic litter box. The Petivity sits underneath a standard litter box and, once connected to the app, tells you which cat visited the box at what time, how much they weigh, and if they went number one or two. This tool is perfect for the helicopter pet parent, so you can track any differences in their litter box usage and if something seems off, take them to the vet before the issue becomes bigger and more costly. Right now the Petivity is the lowest price we’ve seen for an expensive pet health monitoring tool—less than half of what it usually costs. —Molly Higgins

A good drill is essential for your home tool kit, and this is the best one we’ve tested. It’s got more than enough torque for most tasks—and ’tis better to have more torque and not need it than to need it and not have it. The bundle includes two batteries and a charger, and the chuck will accept every bit you’ll end up using. The included batteries can be swapped with other DeWalt power tools as well. —Louryn Strampe

Sometimes a standard screwdriver just isn’t going to cut it. And the thing about tiny screws is you really can’t substitute a butter knife or coin. Be prepared with this itty-bitty screwdriver set, which we recommend for all households. The tapered handles and smooth-turning caps make it easier to work in tight spaces, and you’ll get enough size variety that every task should be covered. —Louryn Strampe

I discovered this fan looking for an easier way to clean my keyboard, and it is awesome for blowing dust out of just about anything. It works much like compressed air for clearing dust and debris from keyboards and computers, vacuum cleaner filters, and anywhere else you can’t easily reach, but it can be recharged, so it never runs out. You can change the intensity with a sliding switch, and it charges via USB-C when the battery is low. It also comes with various attachments that make it truly versatile. —Simon Hill

This is the base Zojirushi 3-cup model. For years, Zojirushi has offered a few rice cookers in this price category that have minor differences in the settings, or have a retractable cord or not. However, they all rely on Zojirushi’s “microcomputer” technology to make sure all grains, like short or brown rice, come out flawless and fluffy, not scorched or burned. This is a reliable daily grain cooker that will serve you well for years and years—our reviewer has owned his for 12 years and counting. Zoji’s range extends higher upward, but your average grain enthusiast probably doesn’t need anything more than this. —Adrienne So

Stainless steel frying pans have a bit of a learning curve, but so long as you have patience, they’re absolutely worth adding to your kitchen arsenal. All-Clad makes fantastic pots and pans that are backed by a lifetime warranty. This set includes a 10-inch and a 12-inch pan. These heat evenly, they retain heat well, their handles stay cool to the touch, and most important, they will last for years. —Louryn Strampe

Cookie season is just around the corner. We swear by these baking sheets from Nordic Ware. They’ve lasted our reviewer over a decade so far, with zero warps or other issues. Right now you can literally get two for the price of one, so if you’re baking on secondhand sheets that just aren’t cutting it, it’s a good time to invest in this upgrade. —Louryn Strampe

Your single-use plastic bags could be so much more environmentally friendly. These Stasher bags are some of our favorite reusable products. They’re freezer- and microwave-safe, and once you’re done with lunch you can put them in the dishwasher. This starter kit includes six different sizes ranging from the itty-bitty (great for toddler snacks) to a half-gallon (great for adult snacks). The colors are a whole lot cuter than your average sandwich bag, too. —Louryn Strampe

Click the coupon on the page to see the discount at checkout. The Typhur Dome’s sleek and modern design and promise piqued my interest, but this air fryer’s work on wings won me over. This air fryer promises speedy cooking times, and was the fastest air fryer I’ve used in my month of testing on pierogi, poppers, wings, and frozen french fries. Wings take 14 minutes, or 16 if you prefer them “fried hard” like I do. You can have them sauced in a mixture of Frank’s and butter and on the table within 20 minutes. The Typhur stores easily thanks to its low-profile design and has a helpful self-cleaning mode, though I use soap and water on the basket. —Martin Cizmar

This is the best smart air fryer we’ve tested. You can monitor and control it via an app on your smartphone or tablet, but of course there are manual controls on the air fryer itself. The app also has a bevy of air fryer recipes to check out. There are 12 preset cooking modes and the drawer is deep and wide enough to make larger portions if you’re cooking for multiple people. —Louryn Strampe

In a world where appliances are constantly vying for countertop space, the Ninja Max XL has a nice compact footprint that should make it fit in neatly with whatever else is currently residing there. It boasts a few different settings including roasting, baking, and crisping—so whether you’re whipping up some curly fries or you’re crafting a birthday cake, this gadget can still be useful. Read more about it in our air fryer buying guide. —Louryn Strampe

Deemed the best dual-platform kitchen scale in our guide to Best Kitchen Scales, this two-in-one model is a favorite of WIRED contributor and chocolatier Tyler Shane, who likes not only that there’s a smaller scale that can weigh down to .01 grams, but that she can weigh two ingredients at the same time, like flour and sea salt. The large display is backlit for readability, and the stainless steel platforms lend a sleek look to any kitchen. Says Shane: “While I was scaling for my banana bread, it felt like a stunner piece of equipment that took my baking game to an advanced level.” Grab it for yourself or a baker friend while it’s five bucks off. And if you miss the Prime Day sale, check out our exclusive coupon for 15 percent off all regularly priced KitchenAid items. —Kat Merck

Looking to make your own clean, additive-free nut, seed, or oat milk without having to resort to messy blenders and mesh bags? We’ve got an upcoming refresh to our Best Nut Milk Makers guide, but in the meantime, WIRED contributor and beverage expert Andrew Watman recommends this Growup as a solid option. He was able to make 3 1/2 cups of cashew milk in just six minutes and 10 seconds and gives extra props to the machine’s automatic cleaning cycle. —Kat Merck

WIRED contributor and award-winning wine writer Jordan Michelman deemed this sleek, easy-to-use cylinder the best electric option in his guide to the Best Corkscrews. It’s rechargeable via USB—charging to full power in just four hours—and can pull 30 corks before needing to be plugged back in. It’s not only quiet, it can sense when it’s been placed on a cork, pulling and ejecting it without the need to press extra buttons. It comes in a range of colors including gold, red, and navy and would make a great gift for even the most die-hard defenders of non-electric corkscrews. —Kat Merck

This little gadget is one of our favorite air fryers, partially because it’s actually not so little. The 6-quart capacity can make up to six servings of food at once, so it’s great for larger households. You’ll get six cooking modes, including fry, roast, broil, bake, reheat, and dehydrate. The best part is the large viewing window, which lets you check the progress of your food without having to drop the internal temperature. The air fryer has a wide temperature range, and there are built-in filters that help cut down on any odors. Though I, for one, wouldn’t be mad if my kitchen smelled like steak bites all the time. —Louryn Strampe

A foray into the crowded energy drink market is a logical evolution for Sparkling Ice, the zero-cal carbonated beverage with a devoted cult following and almost 20 flavors on offer. The inoffensive tropical flavor of Maximum Mango is a safe port of entry for fans of the original who need something extra every now and then, now at an enticing price of $18 through the Amazon Prime Day promotion. The artificial sweetener flavor is barely noticeable under the burst of carbonation, and the slurry of B vitamins, electrolytes, and 160 milligrams of caffeine provides a smooth bump of energy that’s great for hangovers or the mid-afternoon doldrums. —Pete Cottell

As someone who’s run and trained for multiple half-marathons during the summer months, I’ve tried my fair share of electrolyte tablets, concentrates, and powders, and I can say with conviction that nothing hits quite like Liquid IV. For sports, for hangovers, or even just a hot summer day, there’s just something about Liquid IV’s proprietary “Cellular Transport Technology” that just feels like it’s working in your veins—as if it were an actual IV. Up until recently, there were only a few flavors available, but now Liquid IV features a large catalog of flavors in regular and sugar-free versions, as well as specific formulas for immunity, sleep, gut health, kids, and energy. It’s also not inexpensive, so I like to stock up on multiple flavors every Prime Day, one of the few times I see it on sale. —Kat Merck

This personal-size Nutribullet blends both thoroughly and quickly. It’s one of our favorite blenders. It has 1,200 watts of power so it can crank through your morning smoothies, and there’s a separate pulse setting in case your ingredients are particularly chunky. It can get a little loud, and you’ll need to ensure that you use enough liquid if you want the blender to perform efficiently. But once you get the hang of it, it’s a worthwhile countertop companion. This price is the lowest we’ve tracked. —Louryn Strampe

In a world full of tumblers, the BrüMate Era is our top pick. It keeps drinks cold and it doesn’t spill. The straw is silicone on the top half and stainless steel on the lower half inside the tumbler body. The lid locks with a simple twist, which fully seals off the straw hole—even if you hold the tumbler upside down. There are tons of cute colors available. —Louryn Strampe

The Vitamix FoodCycler FC-50 (7/10, WIRED Review) is the OG kitchen compost bin. We like it because it’s more affordable than many similar products, especially right now. The chamber holds about a cubic foot of food waste, and there’s a carbon filter included to help cut down on any nefarious stenches. Vitamix says you can toss just about anything in, except for oil or grease (though we advise against including meat or bones). Pet food, coffee grounds, vegetable peelings, and other food waste are all fair game. When the container is full, start the device, and in a few hours you’ll have a dry and crumbly compost mixture. —Louryn Strampe

Part status symbol, part baking tool, part kitchen decor, few appliances have captured the public imagination quite like the KitchenAid stand mixer. The Artisan head-tilt is the most affordable base model and works just fine for cookies, meringues, and other light-duty tasks, though if you’ll be working with stiff or heavy doughs you’d be better off springing for one of the heavier-duty bowl-lift or commercial models. This bundle comes with two beater attachments, a dough hook, and a wire whip, which is pretty much all you’ll need for the full gamut of holiday baking. There are flashier colors and styles than the ones featured in the sale, like the hibiscus-colored model seen in our guide to the Best Stand Mixers, or the new Evergreen Design Series (be on the lookout for our upcoming review). However, I’ve owned a basic onyx black Artisan for more than 15 years and I appreciate how it’s complemented every kitchen I’ve had it in. If you miss the Prime Day sale, check out our exclusive coupon for 15 percent off all regularly priced KitchenAid items. —Kat Merck

HexClad Cookware (5/10, WIRED Review) has a ton of hype surrounding it, and it doesn’t go on sale very often. It’s an interesting induction-friendly mix of nonstick and stainless steel. I think you’re better off buying one nonstick pan and one stainless steel pan, but the unique construction is perfectly fine to cook on. I’ve successfully whipped up both scrambled eggs and a porterhouse in mine, and they both turned out fine. If you’re interested in checking HexClad out, now’s an opportune time to save some cash in the process. —Louryn Strampe

Breville Barista Express

Photograph: Breville

Our top pick in our Best Espresso Machines guide, this is the machine to buy if you’re looking for a step up from a Keurig. I have been using mine since 2018 and it has served me well for more than six years. It’s quick to turn on, has a built-in grinder, a tamper that stores magnetically, and there’s a steam wand that can froth milk for a latte, though it takes a while. —Julian Chokkattu

The Barista Express Impress (6/10, WIRED Review) is a more feature-rich version of our favorite espresso machine above. It has more grind and dosage settings, and it automates some of the more complex parts of brewing espresso, such as getting just the right amount of grounds per shot. Otherwise, it’s largely the same. It’s got a built-in grinder, an adjustable steam wand, and a sturdy construction. We see this deal on a regular basis, but the discount is still good. —Louryn Strampe

The Primula Burke earned an honorable mention in our cold brew maker buying guide. It’s supremely affordable, and it produces smooth-tasting coffee with that signature mellowed flavor that cold brew is known for. The filter is quite fine, so your coffee won’t have a lot of sediment in it. The six-ounce brewer is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup and it’ll fit in most refrigerator doors. If you prefer coffee with a bit more body, our guide has plenty of recommendations. But if you just want some tasty cold brew without too much pomp and circumstance, this is a great option. —Louryn Strampe

There are a whole bunch of different AeroPress brewers, but the Clear is our favorite for gifting. (And yes, you can gift it to yourself.) The transparent housing shows you exactly what is going on in the brewing chamber, but that doesn’t mean it has to look boring—there are several color options in the clear lineup. It’s safe to expect the quintessential AeroPress experience from this brewer: Add your grounds, add your water, and plunge for an excellent cup of joe. —Louryn Strampe

This is our very favorite cappuccino machine. It’s easy to use and it’s affordable compared to many of its counterparts, especially thanks to this deal. You can use it to make straight espresso shots, but there’s also a built-in milk reservoir that’ll automatically make you a cappuccino or latte if you so desire. It’s not fully automated since you’ll still have to load up and twist on the portafilter, but even the groggiest of us can manage that task in the morning. And it isn’t too picky about fancy beans or grinds—our tester managed to make an espresso-like-substance from Maxwell Coffee. —Louryn Strampe

This is the best budget-friendly coffee grinder on the market. The conical burr grinding is precise, and no matter whether you’re a French press person, a pour-over person, or an espresso person, it’ll have your morning brew covered. The design is a bit on the tall side, coming in at 16 inches, but the overall footprint is slim and won’t take up too much space on your countertop. The grinder is durable, too—after more than a year of daily use, it still works great. It doesn’t drop below this price very frequently. —Louryn Strampe

This is our favorite latte and cappuccino machine for under $200. It can make pure espresso or whip up a creamy latte or cappuccino. The integrated milk container is nice, but you’ll have to refrigerate it and keep it clean. Luckily, the cleaning process is easy, and so is the brewing process. The touch of a button will have your preferred morning beverage brewed in just a few minutes. We also appreciate the slide-out booster for when you’re using smaller glasses. —Louryn Strampe

This very fancily named espresso machine made our list of the very best. It’s a two-in-one machine with a built-in grinder and a slim form factor compared to similar machines. It has a couple of quirks—like the stepstool for your mug to prevent splashing—but overall it’s a joy to use and if you’re spending money like crazy on artisan coffee drinks at your local shop, the investment will pay off. We’ve seen it drop as low as $500 before, but it rarely drops below $550, so we still think this is a decent deal. —Louryn Strampe

This is our favorite e-reader. You’ll have the choice between the base Paperwhite and the Signature Edition (8/10, WIRED Recommends), which comes with 16 gigabytes and 32 gigabytes of storage, respectively. They also come with auto-adjusting backlight and wireless charging. We also recommend paying the extra $20 to get rid of lockscreen ads. It’s worth noting Amazon hasn’t updated the Paperwhite since 2021, but this one still performs super well. —Brenda Stolyar

With a 10.2-inch screen, the Scribe (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is great for both writing and drawing. Since it’s a Kindle, reading on it is still seamless and you won’t experience a lag when writing. However, we don’t recommend it for professional artists who want something a bit more elevated. You also can’t write on book pages and it isn’t waterproof. —Brenda Stolyar

If you’re looking for the best smart display in Amazon’s every-growing ecosystem, this is it. The Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) is the perfect size with an eight-inch screen to see the weather, follow a recipe, or even join a video call, without being too large or obtrusive in your home. It’s got a camera cover and mute button for the moments when you need privacy, and has great speakers for blasting your playlist of choice. The Show 8 has been our favorite Alexa smart display for three generations in a row, so don’t miss your chance to get it on sale. —Nena Farrell

The Amazon Echo Pop (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of the newest additions to Amazon’s speaker lineup. The half-moon speaker comes in a couple of fun colors—the others are only available in black and sometimes white—and feels like a perfect fit for a dorm room or colorful office. The sound isn’t as robust as the Echo Dot, with a weaker bass, but it’s still solid for casual listening and pop music. There’s also a kid’s version ($23) that has Disney or Marvel covers on it. —Nena Farrell

The best Amazon Echo is the Echo itself. The fourth-generation Amazon Echo has left behind its tower-like design of earlier generations and now has a fully rounded form, with a better sound experience to use as a speaker in your home as well as a handy assistant. The Echo responds quickly and does all the tricks you’d want it to: tells you the weather! controls your smart home! can act as a smart home hub! It’s large enough for great sound power, but isn’t so large that you can’t fit it onto a small shelf. —Nena Farrell

The Amazon Echo Show 5 can do everything the larger Amazon smart displays can, but with a much smaller screen. It’s an ideal size for a bedside table, minus the built-in camera (there’s a camera cover luckily, which I recommend using if it’s in your bedroom!) or very small side tables where you want to have a clock face and read the weather, but don’t need to follow a recipe or see anything in major detail. It still can do these things, it’s just not a great screen size for it. —Nena Farrell

If you’re looking for the best smart display in Amazon’s every-growing ecosystem, this is it. The Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) is the perfect size with an eight-inch screen to see the weather, follow a recipe, or even join a video call, without being too large or obtrusive in your home. It’s got a camera cover and mute button for the moments when you need privacy, and has great speakers for blasting your playlist of choice. The Show 8 has been our favorite Alexa smart display for three generations in a row, so don’t miss your chance to get it on sale. —Nena Farrell

I like to imagine the Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) is the regular Echo hit with a shrink ray. It’s got the same form factor and design, just miniaturized. While the sound isn’t quite as robust, the little speaker’s sound is surprisingly detailed for the small size, and even has a solid amount of bass. Even before the sale, it’s the best Amazon speaker you can get for the price, making it a near steal right now. I also really like the Echo Dot (5th Gen) with Clock, both for a bedside table and a clock anywhere in the house, but it’s been sold out. If you spot it, though, grab it: it’s great too. —Nena Farrell

Amazon’s Echo Spot (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is back. The rounded speaker was discontinued back in 2019, but has been revived with an updated look. With a square screen surrounded by a half-circle bezel and a mostly-rounded form factor, it looks like the Echo Pop if you added a screen to the top half of the front. But it’s surprisingly great: the screen is just enough to show you the weather and the name of the song you’re playing, or minor details about your calendar, and just the time otherwise. While I love a good smart display, the moving slideshows can be distracting, so the second-gen Echo Spot is a nice choice if you want to see some details without an entire extra screen in your home. There’s no camera, so it’s a great pick for your bedside clock. The only downside is the price, so a sale is the best time to grab the Spot for yourself. —Nena Farrell

Amazon’s Smart Plug works exactly as you expect it to: You plug something into it and remotely control the power. Amazon’s smart plug is nice for Alexa loyalists since you can set it up within the same app your other Amazon products, like an Echo speaker. The smart plug works well and is my recommendation if you’re tied to the Amazon ecosytem. —Nena Farrell

Amazon’s Blink Mini 2 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is capable of capturing crisp 1080p HD video and reliably capturing motion. It’s weather-resistant if you want to use it indoors or outdoors, though you’ll need to purchase the version with a weather-resistant adapter ($30 on Prime Day sale) to safely use it outside. You’ll need a subscription to get all the features, including person detection, live view recording, video sharing, and cloud recording with 60-day video history (30 days in the UK and Europe). —Nena Farrell

The 2021 Echo Buds (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are the older version of Amazon’s Bluetooth earbuds but have wireless charging, active noise canceling, good overall sound with 5.7-mm drivers, and a great app experience. It’s easy to summon Alexa for various commands like setting timers and checking your calendar. This is one of the best experiences you can get for this price, especially on sale. —Nena Farrell

Last year’s Echo Buds are always an affordable set of earbuds at $50, and Prime Day brings them down to half that. These wireless earbuds don’t have all the features of the more expensive 2nd Gen Echo Buds (8/10, WIRED Recommends) including a lack of active noise canceling and we don’t like the form factor as much. But they’re super affordable and have Alexa built-in. —Nena Farrell

This 1-inch ceramic flat iron with proprietary ion technology was both former WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano’s and my favorite that we tested for our guide to the Best Hair Straighteners. It heats up to a maximum of 410 degrees Fahrenheit—hot enough to get the job done without inflicting too much damage. Medea has been using one since she was in college, and it’s my favorite iron for touch-ups. I like that it feels solid yet is still compact enough for easy maneuverability. This is the lowest price I’ve seen, so it’s definitely a worthwhile buy if you’re looking for a good-quality yet still relatively affordable straightener. —Kat Merck

For those with fine or easy-to-straighten hair, this pretty pink ceramic-plated number is one of the better flat irons on the market. As I mention in our guide to the Best Hair Straighteners, the Smooth X’s 4 1/2-inch plates are extra long—about half an inch longer than most irons’—to provide more surface area for straightening. Other highlights include nine proprietary heat settings with an internal microchip that controls heat fluctuations, a max temperature of 410 degrees Fahrenheit, and a “CeraGloss” finish on the plates meant to increase shine. I didn’t see a ton of benefit from the CeraGloss, but my 73-year-old mother swears by this iron and the consistency of its heat settings, and at $45 off, this is an unusual deal—definitely a worthwhile grab for the upcoming gifting season. —Kat Merck

This is our top pick in our Best Beard Trimmers guide with our reviewer praising the unique control dial, the quality of the included accessories, and the battery life. We’ve seen this dip as low as $83 so this Prime Day deal is not a top-tier discount but it’s cheaper than normal. —Martin Cizmar

This lip mask goes on sale during every shopping holiday, and I’d buy it every time, except one jar lasts for over a year and I don’t need any more just yet. It went viral on TikTok for good reason. The thick balm melts down quickly and sinks into your skin, and you wake up with the softest lips of your life. I’ve tested it during multiple Illinois winters and can confirm that even Jack Frost can’t circumvent whatever magic Laneige uses during manufacturing. I also like that the scents fade quickly—they’re pleasant, but they don’t overstay their welcome. —Louryn Strampe

This white-and-rose gold ionic hair dryer was a favorite of testers for our guide to the Best Hair Dryers, who noted that its plastic construction made it feel lightweight and effortless to use. (“Oh, how I love this dryer,” rhapsodized one Gear team member.) T3 says its proprietary “RapidAire IQ Technology” cuts dry time in half while retaining hair’s moisture, and while we can’t speak to that feature’s efficiency, we can confirm this Prime Day deal is an excellent one for a brand that doesn’t often go on sale. Plus, it comes with its own brush set for styling. —Kat Merck

The Dyson Airstrait (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has been my go-to hair tool for over a year now. It has the same form factor as a traditional flat iron, but rather than hot plates, it uses airflow to dry and straighten your hair at the same time. Using one focused jet of air that moves downward, it dries your hair while also delivering a smooth and natural finish. You’ll also have the choice between two main styling modes—wet and dry—as well as three temperature settings for each. I use it after washing my hair so I’ll set it to wet mode to fully dry my hair and switch to dry mode to flatten out any residual puffiness. The entire process takes only 15 minutes, which is a huge difference from the 45 minutes it usually takes me when I use a hair dryer followed by a flat iron. —Brenda Stolyar

Blow-dry brushes have become my holy grail product since becoming the mom of a toddler. Whether my hair was long or short, I found myself grabbing a blow dry brush to help dry my hair and style it enough to resume wrangling my kiddo. My favorite so far is the T3 AireBrush Round, which has a 2.5-inch brush that’s small enough for my short hair and can get it dry and styled in a matter of minutes. There’s three different heat settings (I like the coolest setting for my fine hair) and two speed settings to use. It’s a great brush I find myself grabbing on days I want a blowout. There’s also an oval version that’s on sale too if you prefer the hairbrush shape over the round. —Nena Farrell

T3’s Featherweight StyleMax really is lightweight—my arms don’t ache as I dry my hair with this one. It’s made of plastic to keep it lightweight, but doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. It also comes with a nice set of attachments, including a diffuser that I love using, plus two concentrators and a smoothing comb. It’s a great blow dryer if you alternate between diffusing your hair and doing a classic blowout. —Nena Farrell

Photograph: Nena Farrell

The Tymo Airflow is a great hair straightener that can double as a curler, too, thanks to the rounded barrel. I like a smooth undercurl when I straighten my hair, and the Tymo Airflow is perfect to achieve that for me. I’ve especially loved using it with short hair, but it worked well for my long hair, too. The heat settings range from 284 degrees to 428 degrees Fahrenheit, and Tymo includes a little guide of which heat setting to use based on your hair type. While it looks more like a curler, it performs best as a straightener, but did give my hair some soft curls when I used it curling-iron style. —Nena Farrell

Our favorite cheap electric toothbrush is already steal when it isn’t on sale, and it’s even more of a great purchase right now. It not only does a good job cleaning, but comes with eight replacement heads. There’s a handful of fun colors, too. The only downside is the charger isn’t as convenient as we’d like. It’s often available for around $19, but it’s $15 right now, which is lower than its usual sale price of $16. —Nena Farrell

Sonicare made the first sonic toothbrush, which vibrates gently and quietly with side-to-side bristle motion rather than rotating and pulsing like a standard electric toothbrush. We love the Sonicare 4100, but the ProtectiveClean 5300 is on sale right now to bring it almost to the same price. You get more brushing modes with the 5300, and both have a pressure sensor, two week battery life, and a two-minute timer. —Nena Farrell

Best Apple and Apple Accessory Deals

Photograph: Apple

Even though we don’t consider the 9th Gen iPad (8/10, WIRED Recommends) the best for most people—mainly because it’s three years old and packs an older, A13 Bionic chip—it’s still a solid option if you’re in the market for a budget tablet. It’s affordable and comes with a ton of great features like a physical Touch ID-enabled home button, 64 GB of storage on the base model, a 12-megapixel rear camera (with support for Center Stage), and a True Tone display. It’s also compatible with accessories like the 1st Gen Apple Pencil and Apple’s Smart Keyboard. —Brenda Stolyar

This is the latest iPad Air (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It now comes in two sizes: 11 inches and 13 inches. The latter is bigger and brighter, making it excellent to use as a secondary display to work off of or watch TV on. It also comes equipped with an M2 processor (the same one that powers the 13-inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro from 2022) that delivers smooth performance even with multiple apps running simultaneously. Apple also moved the front-facing 12-megapixel camera to landscape orientation. As with the previous version, it also has a USB-C port, slim bezels, and Touch ID built into the top power button. —Brenda Stolyar

The iPad Mini (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is my favorite tablet to travel with. The 8.3-inch display is great for watching movies, sketching, notetaking, and reading ebooks. It also has Touch ID built into the power button, a front-facing camera with Center Stage, and an A15 Bionic processor (as seen on the iPhone 13) that can handle taxing apps or games. It’s worth noting this model came out in 2021, and Apple is expected to announce the next-generation version either in November or early 2025. I recommend waiting if you can. —Brenda Stolyar

Apple iPad (10th Generation)

Photograph: Apple

The iPad (10th Gen) (7/10, WIRED Review) is our favorite iPad for most people. It comes with a large 10.9-inch Liquid Retina (IPS LCD) display, a touch ID sensor integrated into the power button, a USB-C port instead of Lightning, and a 12-megapixel rear camera (an upgrade from the eight megapixels). The 12-MP selfie camera has also been moved to the center of the iPad, so you’ll no longer have to awkwardly stare to the side during video calls. Under the hood is also an A14 Bionic chip, which delivers slightly faster performance and a bump in graphics over its predecessor. —Brenda Stolyar

The 2nd Gen Apple Pencil is a step below the newer Apple Pencil Pro. It comes with tilt sensitivity, pressure sensitivity, handwriting support, and a double-tap feature that lets you switch quickly between tools by tapping the stylus twice. It also has support for wireless pairing and wireless charging—it automatically charges magnetically when attached to the top edge of supported iPads. In terms of compatibility, it works with the iPad Mini (6th Gen), iPad Air (4th Gen and later), iPad Pro 11-inch (1st Gen and later), and the 12.9-inch (3rd Gen and later). —Brenda Stolyar

This is the latest and more feature-packed Apple Pencil. It comes with a few noteworthy features including a “squeeze” capability that triggers the tool palette (but you can still use double-tap) along with a haptic engine inside that delivers feedback when you squeeze the stylus. There’s a built-in gyroscope sensor too, which allows you to change the orientation of the tools as you twist it for finer control. It also comes with support for Apple’s Find My Network in case you lose it. It’s worth noting, however, that it only works with the iPad Air (M2) and iPad Pro (M4). —Brenda Stolyar

MacBook Air 13-Inch Laptop

Photograph: Brenda Stolyar

The M3-powered MacBook Air (7/10, WIRED Recommends) isn’t all that different from the MacBook Air with M2, but it’s a great option if you want a reliable laptop for everyday tasks and slightly more. As with the previous version, it has a 13.6-inch LCD screen and a notch with a 1080p webcam. The M3 also provides a nice boost in performance compared to the original M1. You can also use it with two external displays, which is an upgrade from the single external display support with the older chips. —Brenda Stolyar

Although M4-powered MacBooks are imminent, the MacBook Pro with M3 launched just a year ago—so it’s still an excellent choice. It packs a brighter display with mini LED and a 120-Hz refresh rate, along with a 1080p webcam. It packs plenty of ports too, including two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4, an HDMI, a MagSafe charging port, a high-impedance headphone jack, and an SD card slot. We recommend it if you’re looking for a MacBook Pro without spending $2,000 or more. —Brenda Stolyar

The 15-inch MacBook Air (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a great choice if all you want is a bigger screen, but don’t want to splurge on a MacBook Pro. It packs all the same features 13-inch MacBook Air, including a modern build and a 1080 webcam, along with an M3 chip. The base model comes equipped with an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU which handles tasks with ease. I do, however, recommend upgrading to at least 16 GB of unified memory, to ensure that it can smoothly handle dozens of apps and tabs running at the same time. —Brenda Stolyar

The Studio Display Display (9/10, WIRED Recommends) has a large, 27-inch screen that’s great for showcasing multiple apps simultaneously. It doesn’t have HDR—so colors look slightly more saturated and contrasty to the neutral tones you’ll find on Apple’s Pro Display XDR—but the 5K resolution is stunningly sharp. It’s expensive, but it’s a great monitor if you want a sharp screen with accurate colors. With a 12-megapixel camera, along with built-in mics and speakers, it’s ideal for video calls too. —Brenda Stolyar

Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charger

Photograph: Belkin

We recommend this charger for anyone who owns multiple Apple devices. The T-shaped design suspends two of your gadgets in midair, including your iPhone (at the fastest 15-watt charging speed Apple allows) and your Apple Watch (Series 7, 8, 9, and Ultra). The base, meanwhile, can be used to charge your AirPods Pro or AirPods (if you have a wireless charging case). We’re also fans of the newer version (discounted to $100) with Qi2 certification—the latest wireless charging standard, which you can learn more about in our explainer here. —Brenda Stolyar

Tablets like the iPad Pro are capable enough to replace a proper laptop for some people, except for the lack of ports. That’s where the Twelve South StayGo Mini comes in. This little adapter is low-profile enough to plug directly into a tablet, while giving you an array of outputs, including an HDMI port, USB-A connector, and a headphone jack. It’s the perfect accessory to turn your slate into a portable workstation.  —Eric Ravenscraft

This is a great accessory if you like to use Apple’s Standby mode—the iOS 17 feature that turns your iPhone into a smart display on your nightstand. Twelve South’s 3-in-1 wireless charger allows you to place your phone in landscape mode (triggering Standby) while also leaving more than enough space to charge two other devices on the base including your Apple Watch and AirPods (or another wireless earbuds case). —Brenda Stolyar

Some of the best wireless chargers do more than charge your iPhone, but this face-tracking stand from Belkin is next-level. It works with Apple’s DockKit technology to track your face as you move around, always keeping you in the frame. It can turn through 360 degrees and tilt up or down through 90 degrees. You can use it for FaceTime calls, but there’s also support for third-party apps, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and WhatsApp. The battery inside is good for up to five hours and there’s a 5-foot USB-C cable and a 30-watt power supply in the box. —Simon Hill

Super svelte, with a lovely textured back made from Yatay (a plant-based fake leather made in Italy), this is one of the best MagSafe power banks I have tested. It is slim, with a textured finish that aids grip, and strong magnets to cling to your iPhone and charge it wirelessly at 7.5 watts (it goes up to 15 watts for other Qi phones). Wired charging is up to 20 watts, and there’s a short USB-C to USB-C cable in the box. —Simon Hill

Best Mobile Phone Deals (Plus Accessories)

Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

This is a great price on the previous-generation Google Pixel 8 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) smartphone. Pixels are some of our favorite Android phones because they have great cameras, plenty of useful software features, and all the other bells and whistles like wireless charging and IP68 water resistance. The Pixel 8 is decently compact, but if you want a larger screen, slightly better battery life, and a 5X optical zoom camera, go for the Pixel 8 Pro, which is also on sale for $719 ($280 off). —Julian Chokkattu

You really do not need to spend close to $1,000 for a great phone these days. The Pixel 8A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our top smartphone recommendation for most people because it has a little bit of everything: smart features, a bright and sharp screen, and great performance. Battery life isn’t amazing, but it even packs high-end features like wireless charging and will receive seven years of software updates. At this discount, the Pixel 8A is a no-brainer. There simply isn’t a phone like it in this bracket. —Julian Chokkattu

Do not buy the Pixel Fold unless you have the cash to burn (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It’s a good phone—Google’s first folding device—but it’s more than a year old and its successor improves on the build quality in many ways. The OG Fold feels more like a plaything at this point, something to buy if you want to dip your toes in the world of folding phones, especially since it’s clear these book-like folding devices aren’t getting cheaper anytime soon. The idea is that your phone can turn into a mini tablet at a moment’s whim. —Julian Chokkattu

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

Every model in Samsung’s Galaxy S24 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) lineup is on sale right now. That’s probably because a successor is around the corner—the Galaxy S25 will likely land in January 2025. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a good time to pick up this phone at a solid discount. You get all the bells and whistles you’d want in a flagship phone, like a triple-camera setup, 120-Hz AMOLED screens, seven years of software updates, and great performance. The S24 is the smallest of the devices, the S24+ is in the middle, and the S24 Ultra is the biggest, but it also adds the S Pen stylus and the additional 5X optical zoom camera. —Julian Chokkattu

Take it from me—an Apple guy who uses an Android for my work phone since our company’s various systems play much better with the Google ecosystem—OnePlus phones are best-in-class thanks to their smooth interfaces and impressive performance. You could also take it from WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu who gave this device an 8/10 in a rave review, which dinged it for the curved screen I love. I used to have a Samsung Galaxy and this was a major step up with noticeably snappier performance and a battery that charges in the blink of an eye and lasts two days. —Martin Cizmar

OnePlus 12R

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

The OnePlus 12R is a slightly lesser version of the company’s flagship phone of the year, the OnePlus 12 (also on sale for $700). That means it has a previous-gen processor to power it, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and loses its luster in other areas like the lack of wireless charging, a limited IP64 water-resistance rating, and the promise of only two more Android OS upgrades and four years of security updates. Still, it makes up for those flaws with an excellent 120-Hz AMOLED display, snappy performance, nearly two-day battery life, and speedy recharging (with the included charger). While I think the Pixel 8A is better value, the OnePlus 12R is still a great buy at this price, especially for anyone who games heavily. —Julian Chokkattu

You’re not going to find an affordable phone with a built-in stylus outside of Motorola’s Moto G Stylus series. This year’s model is very similar to the Moto G Power above. Performance is smooth with some hiccups here and there, and the stylus comes in handy if you need to jot down some notes or sign a document. I even got slightly better battery life out of this model over the Power, and you still get accouterments like a headphone jack and wireless charging. —Julian Chokkattu

I’m testing the Galaxy S24 FE (Fan Edition), but that doesn’t mean last year’s S23 FE is past its prime. This phone employs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, which was the flagship processor for 2022’s smartphones, and it means that this is a great-performing handset for the $450 price. You even get a similar triple-camera system as the Galaxy S23, including a 3X optical zoom camera, and it will get several more software updates to keep it relevant and secure. —Julian Chokkattu

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

This is the lowest price we’ve tracked on Samsung’s newest flagship folding phone, the Z Fold6 (7/10, WIRED Recommends). This booklike fold is more polished than ever, with a wider front screen that emulates a normal smartphone, and a spacious 7.6-inch tablet-sized screen when you unfold it. The cameras are great, and since Samsung has been making folding phones for a while, it has some of the best durability and repairability in case something goes wrong. —Julian Chokkattu

The Flip6 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a tiny smartphone that can be opened up to look and feel like a normal, rectangular phone. The external screen isn’t as large as the Motorola Razr+, so it’s a bit limited in what you can do before unfolding the device, but it’s otherwise the perfect companion for anyone who hates stuffing a big bulky device into a pocket or purse. —Julian Chokkattu

It doesn’t have many of the perks of Google’s Pixel 8A, nor does it have the performance chops of the OnePlus 12R. Still, the Galaxy A35 is worth considering, especially if you prefer Samsung phones. Performance is OK, there are still some stutters here and there, and battery life is nothing to write home about. But you get a bright 120-Hz screen, good cameras, long software support, and a MicroSD card slot to expand on the built-in storage. —Julian Chokkattu

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

Want to spend as little as possible on a phone? Don’t expect much, but the Moto G Play is one of the best values for close to $100. It connects via 4G LTE (not 5G) and doesn’t have NFC, so you can’t make contactless payments. But the performance is reasonably OK and the 6.5-inch LCD gets bright enough to view on sunny days (it even has a 90-Hz refresh rate). —Julian Chokkattu

Motorola stepped things up with its budget Moto G smartphone lineup this year. The Moto G Power 2024 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) feels twice its price, with a nice vegan leather textured back and an elegant design. Performance is pretty smooth thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 7020 chipset, and you get a fingerprint scanner, headphone jack(!), and even wireless charging. That’s a rare combo of features nowadays. Sadly, it will only get one Android update to Android 15. —Julian Chokkattu

Folding flip phones are great because they’re so tiny. Yet open them up and you get a screen that’s as big if not slightly bigger than your current phone. The Razr+ 2024 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is my current top pick if you’re interested in this design. Motorola offers one of the largest external displays of all the flip-style phones, making it more useful when folded up. The cameras are good, though they take more time than I’d like for processing, and it has features like an IPX8 water resistance rating, wireless charging, and a 165-Hz OLED screen. You can also save some cash and go with the standard Razr (2024) for $600 ($100 off). It doesn’t have as large of an external screen and performance is a little sluggish, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a folding phone at a lower price (save for the 2023 Razr). —Julian Chokkattu

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

Motorola phones typically don’t get too many software updates, limiting their shelf life, but this one will at least get two Android OS updates (up to Android 16) and three years of security updates. It’s a svelte and good-looking device, especially at this sale price, with a roomy 6.6-inch AMOLED screen and a 144-Hz refresh rate. Performance is snappy thanks to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset. I just wish the screen didn’t have a waterfall display, where the glass curves into the edges. —Julian Chokkattu

Best Smartwatch Deals (Plus Fitness Trackers)

Photograph: Google

Last year’s Pixel Watch 2 was everything that WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu wanted from the Pixel Watch when it first debuted. It’s a year older now, but it has pretty much everything you need, like fall detection, reliable activity and heart rate tracking, and a revamped Fitbit app. If you have the cash, you should shell out for the bigger 45-mm version of this year’s Pixel Watch 3, which will have the Loss of Pulse feature. But Loss of Pulse isn’t currently available in the United States, and the Pixel Watch 2 is much cheaper and just as pretty. We say: Go for it. —Adrienne So

The best smartwatch for Samsung fans, the Galaxy Watch7 is a very nice companion for a Galaxy phone. It is packed with features, offers notifications from your phone, and allows you to control your smart home from your wrist. It even boasts artificial intelligence algorithms to improve your health tracking data. But the battery life could be better and it doesn’t add much over the much cheaper, older Watch6. —Simon Hill

We may have gotten the Galaxy Watch7 this year, but last year’s Watch6 has a few things to recommend it, which is that it’s cheaper and there are four options to choose from. It comes in two sizes in the standard version and two sizes in the Classic model to choose from, and the Classic model even has the mechanical rotating bezel that all Samsung fans know and love. Just remember that you can’t get all the features, like electrocardiograms and irregular heartbeat alerts, unless you also have a Samsung phone. —Adrienne So

If you want a smart ring to track your activity and sleep but not a subscription, the Ultrahuman Ring Air (7/10, WIRED Recommends) could be just what you need. It is lightweight and comfortable, offers solid sleep tracking and useful health tips, and doesn’t require a subscription to access your stats. The battery life is pretty decent, too (about four days). The app is not as nice as Oura’s, and my black ring was quickly scuffed (so maybe opt for gold or raw titanium instead). Ultrahuman has been steadily adding features, most recently AFib detection. —Simon Hill

I said that the Amazfit Balance is a very … interesting fitness tracker. It’s very good-looking and has a Body Composition feature, which not every fitness tracker has! It’s also relatively accurate when it comes to sleep and workout tracking. The main irritating feature is the constant subscription upselling, with everything from Zepp Aura ($50/year) to help you sleep to Zepp Fitness ($30/year) to help you work out. There’s not really a reason to buy this when the Galaxy Watch6 is at a comparable price, unless you don’t have a Samsung phone, in which case this might make sense. —Adrienne So

Even as wrist- and finger-worn fitness trackers become ubiquitous, the most accurate heart rate measurements are still from a chest strap (fingers are cool, but a chest strap goes right over your heart). The Polar H10 has a special buckle-style connector and small silicone dots to make sure it stays put and is comfortable during hard aerobic exercise. It also has built-in memory storage and ANT+ connectivity so you can link your trainer. You can even swim in it! —Adrienne So

Mobvoi’s Ticwatch smartwatches have long been a bit bland but they also deliver some of the best battery life on a feature-rich smartwatch. That’s because they use two kinds of displays, one low-power screen for when you’re not staring at the watch, and then an OLED for when you’re interacting with it. This watch performs well and lasts four days on a charge, but Mobvoi has a spotty record when it comes to software updates, so just know that you may not get the latest Wear OS features for months, if not a year. —Julian Chokkattu

OnePlus’s first Wear OS watch is excellent (7/10, WIRED Recommends). Similar to the Ticwatch, it employs a hybrid architecture running two operating systems and two processors—one handles all the graphics-intensive Wear OS tasks, and the other sips on power for mundane step tracking and the like. I got three days of juice on a single charge, though you can stretch this if you optimize the watch and conserve power. It’s not as well-rounded in the health and fitness tracking department, but it’s adept at controlling smart home devices, notifications, and music playback. —Julian Chokkattu

Best TV Deals (Plus Streaming Devices)

Samsung 65-inch S95D

Samsung’s S95D QD-OLED, the third model in the company’s return to OLED displays, is a different animal than its predecessors. It’s the first to offer a new matte screen that reduces direct and indirect reflections with impressive efficacy. That makes it great for those with sunny rooms or lots of reflective lighting, though it can create a slight loss in perceived picture depth for dark content in bright lighting. Still, as one of the brightest OLED TVs you can buy, it absolutely sizzles with HDR content day or night, while its excellent picture processing and quantum dot colors burst to life in everything you watch. It’s loaded with extras, including support for the top gaming features across all inputs, but like all Samsung TVs, it doesn’t support Dolby Vision HDR. This won’t be the perfect fit for everyone, but if you’re after phenomenal OLED performance that keeps reflections at bay, the S95D is a great buy—especially on sale. —Ryan Waniata

Sony’s all-in-one Quad home theater system (8/10, WIRED Recommends) provides the best surround sound immersion I’ve heard in a single-box solution. Even more intriguing, the four fabric-lined cubes and small control box are brilliantly discreet, mounting to the wall and requiring only power outlets and a single HDMI connetion to your TV. That makes the setup great for those who want to bring the theater experience home without all the clutter. You’ll likely want to add one of Sony’s wireless subwoofers so the end cost is certainly steep, but this price drop makes the Quad seriously enticing for those after a stealthy setup that brings the goods. —Ryan Waniata

Roku’s simple and easy-to-use interface is probably my favorite in all of streaming TV land. It has virtually every app you can fathom, excellent voice search, and pumps out surprisingly great video quality from a device the size of a gum packet. I’d still go for a higher-end streamer for my main TV, but if you have an older screen that needs a streaming upgrade or has an interface you hate, this is one of our favorite streaming devices. —Parker Hall

Photograph: Roku

Of the many, many options in the Roku lineup, Roku Ultra is the fanciest. It has the strongest dual-band Wi-Fi you can get in a Roku, plus an Ethernet port if you prefer wireless connections. We don’t really think that’s necessary, but if you care, the option is there. The remote has an option for hands-free voice controls as well as a headphone jack. Roku even throws a free pair of earbuds in, and they’re surprisingly decent—and you won’t wake up your sleeping partner while you binge the newest season of What We Do in the Shadows. Another neat feature is that if you have hands-free voice controls turned on, you can speak into the void and ask your remote to beep. We truly live in the future. —Louryn Strampe

Best Laptop and Tablet Deals

Acer Nitro V

Photograph: Acer

The Acer Nitro V (8/10, WIRED Recommends) used to be one of our top picks, and it’s still a great gaming laptop. This is a slightly upgraded version of the model we’ve tested, packing an Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU and sporting a 144-Hz 1080p display. It’s not the highest end gaming laptop around, but it’s more than powerful enough to handle most games you can play on it. —Eric Ravenscraft

Photograph: OnePlus

For the money, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better Android tablet than this. Yes, OnePlus has a successor called the OnePlus Pad 2, but it’s bigger and more expensive. The original OnePlus Pad (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is still a great buy, and at this price, you’re getting an 11.61-inch LCD screen with a 144-Hz refresh rate, a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset for smooth performance, and best of all, OnePlus’ excellent software. Its Open Canvas feature lets you multitask with three apps side by side (or two side by side and the third below); it’s a much more intuitive interface than many split-screen experiences on competing devices. —Julian Chokkattu

The best smart display turns out not to be a smart display at all. Instead, it’s a tablet—the Google Pixel Tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends) to be exact. Google’s latest tablet comes with a charging base that has built-in speakers, so you can place it onto the base to act as a smart display or pop it off and use it as a tablet. So instead of having one smart display you use sometimes, and a tablet you use sometimes, now you can just have one device that can transform back and forth into the gadget you need at that moment. I like keeping my Charging Dock in the kitchen as my home base, so that it’s easy to voice command my lights from the dining room or living room couch, and can be used for following an on-screen recipe. You can also buy the tablet by itself for $299 ($100 off). Nena Farrell

Samsung just announced the Tab S10 series, but weirdly, it nixed the base model in this lineup, which consists of the Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra. The changes in these tablets are also fairly minimal, so you’re not missing much by sticking with the older generation. This sale is on the Tab S9+ (7/10, WIRED Recommends), which is the 12.4-inch slate, but you can also snag discounts on the smaller Tab S9. Both have 120-Hz OLED screens, snappy performance, and even an IP68 rating for water resistance. They’re excellent and powerful tablets whether you want to watch Dune II or catch up on some work. —Julian Chokkattu

The Surface Pro (6/10, WIRED Review) is our favorite 2-in-1 Surface, but it is pricey. It performs well as a tablet, and the Flex Keyboard makes it pretty comfortable to use on a desk. But its normal price is just asking too much, which is why we’re glad to see it on sale here. —Eric Ravenscraft

Best Soundbar Deals

Photograph: Sonos

The Ray (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is an intriguing offering from Sonos, a brand that’s helped redefine the soundbar landscape. It doesn’t connect over HDMI ARC like most modern soundbars, using an optical input instead. That means it’s tougher to control it with your TV remote, though it’s programmable for many modern TVs which is important since it oddly doesn’t come with its own remote. The tradeoff is advanced networking features like Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, and the ability to connect with other Sonos speakers for a whole-home audio system. Most important, this compact bar sounds very good for its size, with more bass and overall punch than you’d believe when you unpack it. The Ray isn’t for everyone, but if it fits your needs, it’s a hot attraction at a cool price. —Ryan Waniata

This slim soundbar with wireless subwoofer from Polk (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a cheap and great option if you’re looking to bolster the tinny sound of your flatscreen. Believe it or not, even a cheap combo kit like this can elevate your experience, and I particularly liked how easy to set up this is, along with the nondescript design (it blends well into the background). —Parker Hall

The Sonos Beam Gen 2 sits in the middle of the company’s current lineup, offering a balanced blend of sound quality and features. It’s not particularly punchy in the bass, but its compact size serves up clear dialogue and surprisingly expansive effects sound thanks to acoustic trickery that includes virtual Dolby Atmos support. Like other Sonos speakers, it offers advanced networking features, including a variety of supported streaming services, AirPlay 2, and the ability to connect to other Sonos speakers over Wi-Fi for a multi-room or surround sound setup. Its minimalist design disappears on your console, and the HDMI ARC connection makes it simple to control with your TV remote. Those who want bigger sound may want to step up to the Arc, but the Beam is a solid compact system with loads of features. —Ryan Waniata

Photograph: Amazon

Dolby Atmos Soundbar systems are frowned upon by the nerds on Reddit, but I actually have found that recent generations do compete pretty well with traditional receiver-and-speakers setups. This one from LG is usually a bit expensive for most buyers, but at under a thousand bucks for a setup with two rear surround speakers with upfiring drivers and a wireless subwoofer, it’s hard to argue with this deal. It even has Dolby Vision and 120hz 4K passthrough, which means you can connect your latest consoles and not worry that it’s throttling the video. —Parker Hall

Sonos’ indomitable Arc (9/10, WIRED Recommends) helped change how we think about soundbars. At nearly $900 list, its lack of extras like a subwoofer or surround speakers seemed like a serious hindrance. Instead, the tubular device proved that a single bar is all you need for thrilling home theater audio, with solid bass response and powerful speakers that bounce sound all around your room. Its Dolby Atmos height speakers are particularly impressive, submerging you in sound with supported content. Of course, if you want more, the Arc happily obliges by connecting wirelessly with other Sonos speakers in a multiroom audio system, or a full 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup. It’s got plenty of other features, including a built-in microphone for smart commands and the ability to stream over Wi-Fi from multiple services. It doesn’t offer Bluetooth or even a spare HDMI input, but if you’re looking for a topline, all-in-one sound system, it’s one of the best soundbars out there. —Ryan Waniata

Sony WH-1000MX5Photograph: Sony

Sony’s WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are the brand’s top wireless pair, offering excellent noise canceling, great sound, and tons of advanced features. Even with a couple of years under their belt, the XM5 do well to fend off fresh rivals like the Sonos Ace. They can’t match the Bose Ultra when it comes to noise canceling, but I generally prefer their sound quality, especially after taming their taut bass with Sony’s multi-band EQ. There’s not a major feature the XM5 don’t offer, from auto pausing when you speak to letting in the world around you with a cupped hand on the right earcup. Perhaps their best feature is usability, with everything from their touch controls to their app working flawlessly. Their 30 hours of battery life is enough for even trips off the grid. Their only real knock is a longer travel case than their predecessor, the WH-1000XM4 that’s harder to pack. The XM5 are among the best wireless headphones out there, and they’re all the more tempting on a good sale. —Ryan Waniata

Bowers and Wilkins’ ultra posh flagship headphones only have one notable drawback: They’re super expensive. That makes any sale worth perking up for, especially one that drops the price by hundreds of dollars. We loved the Px8 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) for their dynamic and detailed sound, excellent noise canceling, and classy design marked by cast aluminum and cushy memory foam pads cloaked in sumptuous leather. The high-resolution Carbon Cone drivers sit at the heart of these headphones, delivering a sound our review called “endlessly listenable.” One thing that isn’t endless is this sale, so if you’ve been waiting to pounce on these beauties, now’s the time. —Ryan Waniata

With so much marketing hype in consumer electronics, it’s nice to see a product that lives up to its name. When Bose says “Ultra” in this case, the company means it. You won’t find a pair of earbuds with noise canceling this powerful or comprehensive anywhere on the market right now. Others may come close, but when it comes to strangling as much of the ambient audio around you as possible, these buds stand alone. They add to their cancellation prowess with clear and vibrant sound performance, solid battery life, and extras like adaptive transparency mode to keep sudden loud noises at bay and 3D audio with head tracking to immerse you in your tunes and videos. If you’ve been waiting for a good sale on the ultimate noise cancellers, now is your moment. –Ryan Waniata

The Pixel Buds A Series (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are a great cheap pair of earbuds that pair perfectly with Android phones. They’re IPX4 water resistant, which makes them great for runs, as does their small and ergonomic shape. I like their balanced, detailed sound, but dislike that they have only an AirPods-matching five hours of battery life. Still, it’s hard to say no to name-brand wireless earbuds that we once called the best cheap earbuds at twice the price. —Parker Hall

This is one of the last pairs of consumer headphones that Jabra will make, and it bums me out because these are our favorite workout buds. I like pretty much everything about them—the fit is the best, the app is easy to use and fully featured and pings the buds when you lose them, you can customize the ambient noise level, et cetera. I even like the pleasingly matte texture of the case and the way the buttons click. You can even use the case as a wireless transmitter to listen to movies with your headphones in.—Adrienne So

I took a recent cross-country flight with the Soundcore Life Q30, and found myself continuously surprised at how well they hold up to high-end options that cost three or four times as much. Are these going to beat out the best noise canceling headphones? Absolutely not. But the Q30’s $80 price point seems drastically low for what you get, making any sale a time to strike. Their sound is clear and full, their noise canceling and isolation are both better than you’d expect, and they have plenty of top-flight features. Battery life is impressive at up to 40 hours per charge, they pack well, and look pretty good too. Their build quality is solid, but they’ll scratch easily so you’ll want to be more careful than with flagship pairs from Sony or Bose, let alone Apple’s AirPods Max. But at this price, can you really complain? —Ryan Waniata

These are our favorite workout buds for tweaking the active noise cancellation. While most buds have two modes—noise-canceling is either on or off—you can adjust the level of noise-canceling that’s applied within JBL’s Headphones app. You can even turn on adaptive noise-canceling, which will adjust the level on its own depending on how noisy an environment you’re in at the moment. It’s definitely a nice feature to have when you’re in a gym and want to be able to concentrate on your lifting or podcast, without worrying that someone will sneak up behind you and drop something on your foot. —Adrienne So

I love these workout headphones. They cover the best of both worlds. When you open the case, they’re comfortable open earbuds that come in a charging case to extend the battery life. When it’s time for more strenuous activities, you pop on the adjustable titanium memory wire to fit around the back of your neck. Unlike a pair of Shokz neck buds, I can go more than two weeks without charging them, and an adjustable fit means that I can get the bud perfectly into my ear so that they sound rich and full. —Adrienne So

This comes with the major caveat that Shokz recently released the update to these longtime favorite headphones, the OpenRun Pro 2, which have, among other things, USB-C charging so you’re not constantly looking for Shokz’s proprietary charger. However, the older version is still great—it’s smaller, the battery life is slightly better, and the sound quality is also just a tiny bit better. There’s also a mini version for those of us with tiny, tiny necks. —Adrienne So

Sony Linkbuds S

Photograph: Amazon

Sony’s Linkbuds S don’t seem to have much in common with their namesake, the original Linkbuds (8/10, WIRED Recommends). The latter have a hole in the middle to eternally let in the outside world, while the Linkbuds S are more like traditional earbuds, offering both transparency mode and noise canceling, allowing you to let in or suppress environmental sounds respectively. This makes them more of a philosophical follow-up, but they’re still a solid pair of midrange earbuds. Their best feature may be their minuscule size, making them comfy and easy to wear for hours at a time. You’ll also get plenty of features, including a multi-band EQ and a speak-to-chat feature that pauses sound when you talk. It’s a good package, especially at their reduced price, making these a worthy buy for those after Sony quality without shelling out for a flagship pair. —Ryan Waniata

Sony’s WH-1000XM4 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) have been some of the best wireless headphones in the landscape for going on five years now. You might think that means they’re woefully behind competitors, but on the contrary, they’re still among the best noise canceling headphones you can buy. Made from durable plastic shells with plush padding, they’ve got a warm but brilliantly detailed sound signature and a heap of customizable features built in. They easily fold up into their compact travel case, unlike the larger WH-1000XM5, and they’re still among the most comfy pairs on the market. You wouldn’t want to pay full price at this point, but you’ll rarely have to, and this time of year they’re a bona fide bargain that still ranks highly in an increasingly crowded field. —Ryan Waniata

Photograph: Vibes

These are a cheaper, slimmer pair of earplugs that I like to take to shows where I don’t want to be judged as the old person wearing earplugs. They have clear stems and tips that go deep into your ear canal, and they lower sounds by an average of 22 decibels. They do a good job of being relatively flat and even, which I can’t say for other cheap earplugs I’ve tested. —Parker Hall

Hearing protection is one of the most important things you can carry with you everywhere, and the Earpeace Music Pro come in a small metal tube that can easily clip to your keychain or the zipper of a backpack. I keep them with me always, and they come in handy more often than I’d think; from live concerts at stadiums to when I randomly decide to break out my lawn mower. —Parker Hall

Best Speaker Deals

Photograph: Amazon

Soundcore’s boom box-style portable provides plenty of punch for the money, with big and boisterous audio, a handy handle on top, and rainbow lights for extra style. It’s dunkable and floatable, so you won’t lose it in the pool or even on the lake, and offers up to 24 hours of battery life for extra time off the grid. It’s not the most nuanced or detailed speaker at its price point, but it provides plenty of power to rise above the crowd at your next barbecue or beach party. —Ryan Waniata

Regardless what generation you’re shopping for, everyone loves a boom box. This sleek, handled option from Bose (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is super loud and small enough to fit in any medium-sized backpack. It’s IP67 rated, which means it can survive virtually any situation you’ll have it in outside (just don’t go scuba diving with it), and it has 20 hours of battery life on a single charge. —Parker Hall

The Ultimate Ears Megaboom 4 takes everything we love about the mid-size Boom up a notch, with bigger bass, fuller and more expansive sound, and a swelled-up profile that’s equal parts portable speaker and log. This baby is big and tough, with IP67 dust resistance and drop testing that ensures its worthiness as a weapon. Seriously, you could take out somebody’s legs without missing a beat in your favorite tunes. You’ll also get great features, including an in-app EQ and the ability to stereo pair with other Megaboom 4s or a host of Ultimate Ears speakers. The Megaboom’s size means it’s tougher to take along than its smaller sibling, but if you’re looking for a killer speaker to really pump up the party, the Megaboom rules. —Ryan Waniata

Photograph: Ultimate Ears

With 24 hours of battery life, and massively powerful speakers capable of delivering 100 decibels, this is perhaps the ultimate party speaker. The only downside is the cost. Though a $20 discount might not be as steep as you’ll see on other speakers, you rarely see discounts at all on Ultimate Ears’ excellent options, and this one is sure to hold up to years of use and abuse; I still have a well-functioning review unit from 2020 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). —Parker Hall

This large boom box from Sony has big bass ports on each side that bump when you blast your music. It’s normally too expensive for me to recommend, but at this price this is a great option for folks who like to have dance parties in the yard or at the campsite. It’s surprisingly durable; I have left a review unit outside for years and it still works great, minus a bit of fading on the fabric. —Parker Hall

Click the coupon button on the page to see the discount at checkout. Tribit’s Stormbox Flow (7/10, Wired Recommends) does a winning impression of pricier Bluetooth speakers, namely Bose’s Soundlink Flex, at a much lower price point. On sale, it’s a bargain that’s pretty tough to pass up. The sound is edgier and less detailed than what you’lljbl so get in pricier Bluetooth speakers, but it’s still lively and clear, and you can change the vibe with a custom EQ from Tribit’s app. Apart from its stylish, almost posh design, the speaker’s biggest brag is its 30-hour battery life, among the best we’ve ever tested. It even offers dual stand positions for versatile playback options. It’s not the easiest speaker to bring along due to its large size, but for jamming at home, it’s a great audio companion at an even better price. —Ryan Waniata

Lantern-shaped speakers like this one from Bose are great to place on the center of a table and project sound in all directions when outdoors. I really like the sleek aesthetics of this Bose model, which has 17 hours of battery life and the ability to pair with other Bose speakers. The 360-degree nature of the speaker means you’ll hear sound all over your space, which makes this great for larger get-togethers. —Parker Hall

Click the coupon button on the page to see the discount at checkout. Tribit’s Stormbox Micro 2 is one of our favorite Bluetooth speakers due to its excellent punch for its size. It’s fantastically easy to bring along, especially well suited for biking, with a strap that wraps around your bike’s handlebars. Its IP67 dust and water resistance rating makes it perfect for taking on the elements, and its battery life of up to 12 hours means plenty of ride time between charges. Bose’s Soundlink Micro is a great alternative if you’ve got more dough, but those on a budget will be pleased as punch at how close this speaker gets for the money. —Ryan Waniata

This is an older version of our top gaming headset, but it’s still a fantastic choice for most people. The Logitech G Pro X (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a stylish design, crystal-clear sound, and comfortable ear cups that I wear for long gaming sessions. The newer version features Logitech’s Lightspeed low-latency connector, but if you can live without that, these are a great deal at this price. —Eric Ravenscraft

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our top pick for multi-platform gaming headset. It’s fairly uncommon to find a headset that works wirelessly with both PlayStation and Xbox consoles, but the 5X comes with a USB dongle that has a physical switch to swap between both. It also supports Bluetooth, so there are very few devices you can’t connect this one to.— Eric Ravenscraft

The Cloud III Wireless is a less expensive variation of the Cloud Alpha, but it’s still no slouch in the battery department. Its 120+ hours of life is still more than enough to go days, if not weeks, without a charge. The headset is comfortable, with a minimal dark design. It’s not the flashiest headset around, but for the price, it’s a solid option. —Eric Ravenscraft

This dock from USB accessory manufacturer Sabrent lets you connect your Steam Deck to a TV or monitor, much like the Nintendo Switch does. Valve has its own first-party dock, but this one comes in at less than half the price, and now it costs even less. It provides one HDMI port, plus four USB ports (two USB-A, two USB-C) to connect all your peripherals. —Eric Ravenscraft

While I’m not entirely sold on mixed reality glasses, the Viture One (6/10, WIRED Review) provide a huge, portable, virtual screen that is bright and reasonably sharp. They are also compatible with remote play or cloud gaming and can be plugged into devices via USB-C, including the Viture Neckband (sold separately) for remote streaming of games or movies, and there are docks for Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch ($89). —Simon Hill

Photograph: Orzly

With a console as portable as the Switch, it’s a good idea to carry it around in a case. This one from Orzly is one of the most inexpensive options out there without feeling cheap, which makes it one of my favorite Switch accessories. It has a rigid outer shell to protect your handheld, pockets for extra controllers and cables, and a sleeve for game cartridges. It fits the original Switch as well as the Switch OLED, and you can pick from a wide variety of colors. —Eric Ravenscraft

The base storage in the Xbox Series X and S is adequate, but after a few AAA game downloads, it can start to feel pretty stifling. Fortunately, this expansion card from Seagate is a dead-simple way to upgrade your console. Just pop it into the slot in the back and double (or more) your space. —Eric Ravenscraft

I’ve been using an MMO mouse for well over a decade, and not just for gaming. The dozen extra buttons under the thumb can be customized with key remaps, macros, or any other shortcuts you need. That convenience can mean the difference between life and death in competitive games, and that same efficiency can transform your work if you set it up properly. —Eric Ravenscraft

The Corsair K65 Plus is one of our favorite keyboards, especially if you want to take it on the go. The 75 percent layout keeps the dedicated arrow keys, but cuts off most of the other less-than-necessary keys to help keep it low-profile. It has a stylish volume knob, and connects via Bluetooth, USB-C, or a wireless dongle that you can store in the keyboard itself. —Eric Ravenscraft

Until relatively recently, I was using the same Logitech speakers for more than 20 years, which goes to show how solid this company’s hardware is. The Logitech G560 speaker system is the modern equivalent of the speakers I grew to love. This is a 2.1 system with the company’s Lightsync RGB LEDs built into the rear. The 240W subwoofer cranks out booming bass. —Eric Ravenscraft

If you’re looking for an upgrade over the typical Xbox controllers, the Scuf Instinct Pro is our top choice. It has a comfortably grippy matte black finish and a stylish color palette. On the rear, there are four hair-trigger paddles that can be mapped to any button, making it easier to juggle abilities in complex, fast-paced games like Overwatch 2 or Destiny 2. —Eric Ravenscraft

Samsung Odyssey G6 OLED Gaming Monitor

Photograph: Eric Ravenscraft

There’s a lot to love about the Samsung Odyssey G6 (8/10, WIRED Recommends), from its gorgeous OLED panel to its highly accurate DCI-P3 color coverage. But the one feature that stood out to me when I reviewed it was the absolutely ludicrous 360Hz refresh rate. That’s so many frames per second that it effectively ensures your monitor will never be the bottleneck on the road to smooth gameplay. —Eric Ravenscraft

M.2 SSDs are one of the fastest, easiest ways to add more storage to your PC or console. This WD drive packs 1TB of storage into an M.2 2280 profile, which you can slot directly into a PS5. It gets ultrafast speeds, which can significantly cut down on load times if you don’t already have super fast storage in your PC. —Eric Ravenscraft

Originally called Settlers of Catan, this immersive strategy game is all about gathering and trading resources to build roads, settlements, and cities on a randomly generated board of hexagonal tiles. To collect enough points for a victory requires the right strategy and some luck with dice rolls. My kids love the trading and the robber mechanic, which allows you to steal cards from your opponents and block their resources (though it can cause fallouts). The game is perfect for three or four players and usually lasts around an hour. There are various expansions and a new version called Catan: New Energies (7/10, WIRED Recommends) if you ever want more. —Simon Hill

There is no point saving a few bucks on a cheap Lego set when you could save over $20 bucks on something much bigger and more exciting! Star Wars is very big around my house right now and I am very much considering this as a family holiday present. The large figure is posable and it even comes with a matching minifig for inclusion with your other Star Wars sets. —Adrienne So

Multiple friends have purchased the Yoto Player (7/10, WIRED Recommends) so that their kids can play media without having to interact with a screen. The pixelated light-up clock is cute, so it can sit on a nightstand and tell kids when to get up, and you can play audiobooks with insertable cards (you can even create your own content with blank cards). —Adrienne So

This 3D puzzle is one of the best analog gifts. Once completed, the puzzle can be opened 180 degrees to reveal the detailed interior. There are 293 pieces, which should give you a nice, long break from your screens. If the Notre Dame isn’t your favorite beautiful building, there are many other options to choose from, all with overall positive Amazon reviews. —Louryn Strampe

This irresistible construction kit made our best STEM toys guide and is a fantastic gift for kids of all ages. Clixo’s colorful, versatile, magnetic pieces snap together, enabling you to build all kinds of three-dimensional shapes from crowns to cats. The pieces stack neatly and are very compact when packed away, they are also durable and washable, and you can play with them anywhere—you don’t need a table. Clixo kits are suitable for kids aged 4 and up, but teens and even adults will get a kick out of these too. —Simon Hill

One of the best family board games for young kids, Labyrinth is simple enough for anyone to grasp. The game board is a maze, and your challenge is to collect a set of treasures dictated by the cards you are dealt. This game was designed by a German psychologist, and the fun comes from the ability to change the maze by pushing a tile onto the board, which displaces another each turn. You can carve out a route for yourself, but it is also worth thinking about how to block your opponents, and the best moves do both. —Simon Hill

There’s a worldwide pandemic and you must work together for the survival of mankind by jetting around the board and acting to stem the spread. Each player assumes a role, like a scientist or medic, with unique special powers, and you must strategize and coordinate to emerge alive. Several of the best family board games are cooperative, so you can avoid those arguments that sometimes lead to board flipping and huffs. —Simon Hill

Click the coupon button to see the discount at checkout. As a household of big Star Wars fans, this board game is a family favorite. Beautifully themed, it casts players as villains from the Star Wars universe, such as Darth Vader and Moff Gideon. If you’ve played other games in the Villainous series, you’ll know every character gets a unique set of victory conditions, and you can meddle with the other players’ attempts to win. There’s a definite learning curve, and some characters are easier to win with than others. This game is best for four players aged 10 years and up. —Simon Hill

Best Charging Deals

If your iPhone often runs out of juice before the end of the day, a power bank might be just the thing to boost its stamina. This is our top pick in the best MagSafe power banks guide, and it can stick to the back of your iPhone to wirelessly charge its battery. It is very slim and light, so easy to slip into a pocket or bag, and the 5,000 mAh capacity is enough to keep your iPhone going until bedtime. You can get the Anker 622 MagGo in a few fun colors, and it also has a neat foldable stand to prop your iPhone up in portrait or landscape orientation. —Simon Hill

The best portable chargers keep your gadgets running when you are unable to plug into an outlet, and this beast from UGreen is great for charging up in a hurry. With a hefty 25,000-mAh battery inside and the ability to charge at 100 watts from one USB-C port and 45 watts from the other, it can boost the batteries of phones, tablets, and even laptops. An LED on the side shows remaining power as a percentage, and there’s also a USB-A port, but it is quite hefty at 1.1 pounds. —Simon Hill

The Anker 737 has an enormous 24,000 mAh capacity and can charge just about anything, which is why it is the upgrade pick in our best portable chargers guide. With support for power delivery 3.1, it can send or receive up to 140 watts. It is quite heavy at nearly 1.4 pounds, but also compact considering how much power it packs. There is a handy smart digital display showing remaining battery percentage, and you can tap the power button to cycle through stats, including the temperature, total output, and more. This versatile power bank fast-charged everything I tested and can easily juice up three devices at once. —Simon Hill

If you loved the clear craze that sparked a wave of translucent electronics in the 1990s, then you will want this power bank. The see-through case provides a clear view of the ports, chips, and bundled rechargeable Samsung Li-ion batteries inside. This was supplanted by an even better Shargeek (now Sharge) device but was in our best portable chargers guide for a long time and is still great. The color display offers a detailed readout of the voltage, current, and power flowing in or out, and you can dig into stats showing temperature, cycles, and more. The unusual DC barrel port lets you specify the voltage and current for different devices and goes up to 75 watts. The first USB-C supports PD PPS and can go up to 100 watts, the second offers 30 watts and supports PD 3.0 and Quick Charge 4 standards, and the USB-A port is QC 3.0 and puts out 18 watts. In short, this power bank will fast-charge anything. —Simon Hill

Ready to upgrade to the Qi2 wireless charging standard? It was developed in partnership with Apple and features MagSafe-like magnetic alignment and speedier charging rates of up to 15 watts. This power bank can also charge other Qi2 devices (when they appear) and existing Qi devices (just more slowly). It is compact with a handy kickstand, a two-way USB-C port, and an LED display showing remaining power and time to charge. It can support MagSafe iPhones in portrait or landscape orientation, and it works with Apple’s StandBy mode, making it one of the best MagSafe power banks. —Simon Hill

If you have a smartphone that supports wireless charging (most do nowadays), then this car mount and charger is right up your alley. The cradle closes automatically around your phone and has adjustable feet, a rotating ball joint for angle adjustments, and a quick-release bar poking out either side. It supports Qi wireless charging, providing up to 10 watts for an Android phone or 7.5 watts for an iPhone. Plug the supplied cable into your car’s power socket, connect to the MicroUSB port on the bottom of the mount, and your phone automatically charges when you start the car. The car-socket end also has a second USB-A port for charging another device. —Simon Hill

With an irresistible cute wee robot face that doubles as a display for charging stats, this is one of our favorite power banks. It is also a zippy performer with a USB-C port that can deliver up to 100 watts and boasts support for just about every fast charging protocol under the sun. There is also a USB-A that’s good for up to 15 watts. The 12,000 mAh capacity is enough to charge most phones at least twice. —Simon Hill

As the maker of many of our favorite portable power stations, Jackery is a brand you can trust. This tempting deal nets you a battery on wheels with a telescopic handle and two 200-watt folding solar panels. The battery packs a 3,024-Wh capacity and can put out up to 3,000 watts, so this can power small appliances and charge countless gadgets (it has plenty of outlets and ports). Whether you want something for your RV or home emergencies, this is a deal worth checking out.—Simon Hill

One of the Best Portable Power Stations and our pick for camping trips, the Anker Solix C1000 combines an attractive design with useful features. It packs a LiFePO4 battery with a 1,056-watt-hour capacity. It is fairly easy to carry, thanks to the built-in handles, and it can charge all your small gadgets or run devices, like small fridges, TVs, or power drills. The XT60 input allows you to charge from solar panels. We saw it slightly lower last Prime Day, but this deal includes a custom-fit waterproof bag. —Simon Hill

If you’re hiking with a pack to go camping, this is the highest-capacity portable charger you can realistically carry without giving yourself a hernia. It boasts a whopping 90,000 mAh capacity, a lovely pop-up lantern, and a ton of ports. The handle makes it easy to carry, even though it’s quite heavy at around 6 pounds, and there’s an optional shoulder strap for $30. The Anker app can connect from your phone, but the display shows the percentage remaining, watts in or out, and a remaining time estimate, so you don’t need the app. —Simon Hill

The Bluetti AC200L is one of our top power stations. It’s got a 2,048-watt-hour LiFePO4 battery and plenty of ports to charge just about any device you can think of; it’s big enough to even power your fridge or TV. It is also expandable, up to 8,196 watt-hours, with Bluetti’s B210, B230, or B300 batteries. It runs very quiet and has plenty of power to back up your home during a weekend power outage. —Scott Gilbertson

Best Travel Deals

Heading up our best travel adapters guide, this compact adapter enables you to juice up all your devices in more than 200 countries. The slider design enables you to push out EU, UK, and US plugs, and you can rotate the pins for sockets in Australia and China. The plugs lock in place securely, and only the side button can retract them. This adapter gives you a universal input socket, and Ceptics has included three USB-A ports on the bottom and two USB-C ports on the side. The USB-A ports go up to 15.5 watts, while the USB-C ports offer up to 18 watts (one PD and one QC 3.0). It’s not grounded, so small gadgets only. —Simon Hill

Many of the best travel adapters have sliding pins and moving parts that can be stiff and prone to breaking, but this sturdy, compact plug adapter is a fixed design and it stays put in the outlet. There are various versions (Type C, Type E/F, Type G), and the Type G model for the UK plugs into a single outlet to give you three US outlets, a USB-C port (15 W), and two USB-A ports (12 W). The adapter is grounded and has various safety features, but using all the outlets simultaneously can be tricky, because larger plugs, like the MacBook power adapter, can block one of the other US outlets. —Simon Hill

There are a ton of reasons why you pick the right carry-on for you, like looks, durability, or features like locking wheels. However, for the price, it’s hard to beat this budget suitcase, which is now even cheaper. At 5.4 pounds, it is much lighter than some of our other picks, and the external toiletry pocket is helpful for when you’re going through security. In our testing, the wheels rolled nicely and the zippers didn’t malfunction. The aluminum extendable handle did, however, get stuck sometimes. —Adrienne So

It’s always a good idea to have emergency gear in your car. We have plenty of recommendations, but if you just want a good all-purpose kit, this is the one to buy. It’s got jumper cables, reflective traffic triangles, a flashlight, a tire gauge, a first-aid kit, and a few other odds and ends. And it all packs down into the included carrying case, so you can just stash it in your trunk—or in your kid’s trunk—for added peace of mind. Now you just have to make sure everyone in the house remembers where the cables go on the engine. —Louryn Strampe

This giant wall map is one of our favorite gifts for frequent travelers. It’s got nice little details, like marked major cities and topography. Scratch off the places you’ve been for a visual reminder of your adventures over the years. The gold topcoat reveals colorful mapping so it’ll look nice no matter how much or little you’ve scratched off. —Louryn Strampe

Best Outdoor Deals

Whether you’re a prepper or just want a lightweight backup filter for hiking, the Lifestraw is one of our favorites. The Lifestraw filters contaminated water without batteries or other accessories, eliminating 99.99 percent of waterborne bacteria for up to 1,000 gallons of water. This price matches the lowest we usually see this time of year. —Scott Gilbertson

The Ooni Karu 16 is one of the best and most versatile pizza ovens that I’ve tried. It’s designed to use charcoal or wood (you can buy a separate gas attachment too). Unlike previous iterations, it has a door that you can latch shut so it doesn’t lose heat, and an integrated digital thermometer so you can check the temperature. The highest recommendation of all? It’s the only backyard pizza oven to be certified by the AVPN—the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, the world authority on Neapolitan-style pizza. —Adrienne So

Mophie Powerstation line of chargers are bulky, nondescript devices with USB-C and USB-A ports. They rated well in our testing, and there are LEDs to indicate remaining battery life, but there’s otherwise nothing special about these. This deal is for the 10,000 mAh model, though the larger models are also on sale. WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu used the XL during his trip to Japan and had no trouble keeping his Switch Lite and Pixel 7 Pro topped up. —Scott Gilbertson

The signature paddle of longtime No. 1-ranked pro Ben Johns is our pick for power-hungry players in our guide to the Best Pickleball Paddles. This paddle is thermoformed, meaning it’s heat-pressed together, which results in a paddle that delivers exceptional pop (it’s the poppiest paddle of the 50-plus paddles I’ve tested), though it’s not especially forgiving with a relatively small sweet spot toward the top of the paddle face. These paddles are very popular and are often sold out at the typical Amazon price of $200, so this is a great deal. If you have a pickleball player on your gift list, ask them what they like in a paddle and if it’s power, this is what to buy them. —Martin Cizmar

These affordable running socks from Saucony are a good option if you’re always misplacing higher-end socks. I like the lower ankle-hugging design, which keeps all parts of my running shoes from rubbing. I also like that they come with multiple bright colors as highlights, which makes them stand out when you’re getting dressed in the dark, or looking through a dark gym bag for your socks. —Parker Hall

I freaking love this humble little electric pizza oven, which has zero pretensions but is one of the most versatile additions to my outdoor kitchen. The “woodfire” in the name is a bit of a stretch, given that it just has a tiny trapdoor with which to add pellets to give a smoky flavor to your food. But it’s so easy to use that over the past year, I’ve ended up using it every day. Just punch in what style of pizza you want, let it preheat, and pop it in. I’ve also used it to make muffins, ribs, and macaroni and cheese. —Adrienne So

Segway Ninebot E2 Plus

Photograph: Segway

The E2 Plus is a 32-pound electric scooter with a range of roughly 10 miles. (I tested it as a 6’4” man—most people will be able to go a little farther.) It’s easy to fold up and carry around, and the 15-mph top speed is beginner-friendly. Don’t expect it to go up steep hills with the 300-watt motor, but it’s a great affordable scooter for grocery runs or quick trips to the deli. —Julian Chokkattu

If you have a desk-sitting job, you would be lying if you’ve never thought once about getting a tiny treadmill to put in some steps while in an interminable meeting or never-ending PowerPoint presentation. We said that the Egofit Walker just made working out way too easy. It’s small, quiet, and easy to move. You can control it via either a remote or the proprietary app, and it even fits under our tester’s desk. —Adrienne So

Ladder toss is a fun outdoor game, and with many parts of the US beginning to experience colder weather, it’s a good time to get a small discount on next year’s outdoor fun. This Amazon model works just fine, and stores really easily in a bag for between lawn game seasons. —Parker Hall

You may not see this deal available in your region. This is our pick for a lightweight, stowable shovel in our overlanding guide. It collapses down nice and small (easily fitting under the seat in my jeep), and is still a totally usable, effective shovel when you unfold it. (Except that saw blade part; that’s mostly useless.) If you spend any time off-road, you’re going to get stuck, and when you do, you’ll be glad you have something to dig with. —Scott Gilbertson

Best Home Office Deals

Photograph: Branch

Branch’s Ergonomic Chair has been the top pick in my Best Office Chairs guide for a few years. It has the best blend of adjustability, build quality, and comfort at a reasonable price. It is also great for people of varying heights. I found it comfy as a 6’4” man, but my 5’1” wife also enjoyed sitting on it. This is one of the lower prices we’ve tracked, though it did dip to $279 during Prime Day in July. It’s worth noting that Branch recently announced the Ergonomic Chair Pro, which upgrades this chair in every way, but we haven’t tested it yet, and it also has a higher MSRP. —Julian Chokkattu

If you frequently run hot in your office chair, there likely isn’t much airflow. Get an all-mesh chair instead. The Nouhaus Ergo3D is an affordable all-mesh option that does the job. It doesn’t trap body heat and is plenty adjustable to fit your body. It even comes with two sets of wheels (casters or rollerblades) to suit your floor. —Julian Chokkattu

This is our favorite budget standing desk, and it’s a steal at this price. This deal is specifically on the 55 X 28-inch version, which comes with a desk clamp power strip and cable management in the white top and white frame. It wasn’t the easiest to assemble, but the motors do a good job of moving up and down fairly quickly and quietly, even with a heavy load on top. —Julian Chokkattu

The Alienware AW3423DW (9/10, WIRED Recommends) might be a gaming monitor, but we love it for working from home. This ultrawide monitor has plenty of space for multiple side-by-side windows so you can make your workflow extra efficient. The QD-OLED panel is gorgeous, with rich, vivid HDR support. If you do decide to game on it, the 175Hz refresh rate can provide super smooth motion in most games. —Eric Ravenscraft

This bare-bones mechanical keyboard employs Cherry’s new MX2A switches, which improves on the company’s classic MX keyboard switch line in every way. It’s not customizable or programmable, but this keyboard is durable and reliable and will be enjoyable to type on for years. It’s pretty great value for the money. You can even choose a switch variant—Silent Red or Brown switches, the latter offering more tactile experience. —Julian Chokkattu

This riser from SuperJare is one of our top picks for Best Laptop Stands. It’s made of particleboard, which isn’t the sturdiest material, but it was strong enough to hold multiple monitors and a laptop in our testing. You can adjust the angle or even remove the sides entirely, plus there’s plenty of space underneath for notebooks, your keyboard, and other office accessories. —Eric Ravenscraft

If you love taking notes on paper but wish it was easier to save them digitally—and wish you didn’t have to keep buying a new notebook!—Rocketbook is the notebook for you. Rocketbook’s lineup of notebooks look like a normal notebook, but have pages that feel like incredibly thin whiteboard you can write on and then wipe off. Each Rocketbook comes with an erasable Pilot Frixion Pen, but you’ll need a little water and the included microfiber cloth to wipe the words away. A variety of colors from the Core notebook are on sale for Prime Day, each with slightly different pricing but all ranging from about $8-$12 off. —Nena Farrell

Best Camera Deals (Plus Binoculars)

Sony Alpha 7R V

Photograph: Sony

Our top pick for max megapixels, Sony’s flagship full-frame mirrorless camera features a 61-megapixel full-frame sensor, which is largely unmatched in its class (if you want more megapixels you’ll need to get a medium-format camera). If that’s not enough, there’s a 16-shot, high-resolution mode that can create 240-MP images (so long as your subject is static, e.g., a landscape). The dynamic range is outstanding and the autofocus is plenty snappy. —Scott Gilbertson

We think this is the best mirrorless camera for most people. Sony’s A7 IV (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a 33-megapixel, full-frame camera capable of incredibly sharp images, with excellent dynamic range and the best autofocus system on the market. It’s compact and light enough to carry all day without back strain, and the grip is comfortable. The five-axis image stabilization means you can hand-hold it in lower light, and the wide range of 4K video options makes it the best all-around video-and-stills combo on the market. —Scott Gilbertson

The new Hero 13 Black brings interchangeable lenses and other features, but last year’s Hero 12 Black (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is still a great camera, especially at this price. It’s our favorite GoPro on sale, and on sale it is. For $300 you’d be hard-pressed to get a better action camera. There’s good, smart stabilization, support for Log video, wireless mic support, and a tripod mount. The one downside is there’s no GPS support in the Hero 12 (that’s good for battery life, but if you liked GPS, this is not the camera to get). —Scott Gilbertson

Photograph: Amazon

The Canon Selphy CP1500 prints out 4 x 6 photos right from your phone (though it can also be used with SD cards and USB drives). You can make bookmarks or custom gallery-style images, and the app allows for further personalization—like adding QR codes or filters. And more importantly, you’ll finally get those photos off of your phone and onto your walls, in your photo albums, or on your family members’ refrigerators. —Louryn Strampe

We think this is the perfect camera bag. For some people anyway. It’s a sturdy, well-built bag with lots of pockets and compartments to separate and organize your photo gear (it’s pronounced “provoke” by the way). The exterior waterproof tarpaulin and Robic 1680-denier ballistic nylon keep your gear safe and dry, and they’ve held up well in our extended testing. There’s plenty of room for everything you need to shoot video afield, including a tripod that secures in place with a buckle. There’s a laptop sleeve that will fit up to a 16-inch computer, plus another spot for a tablet, and there are lots of pockets and pouches to store smaller items. —Scott Gilbertson

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

Our favorite camera bag for weekend trips, Wandrd’s Transit is a 35-liter backpack that doesn’t look the part, which means not everyone looking at it will know you’re lugging around expensive camera equipment. This thing is big too, you’ll have room for a spare set of clothes and other weekend essentials in addition to photo gear. The main compartment opens up like traditional carry-ons, and there are large zippered pouches, with a hidden water bottle pocket on one side. It’s also comfortable to carry. —Scott Gilbertson

Wandrd’s Rogue sling comes in three sizes: 3, 6, and 9 liters, and they’re all on sale. The largest 9L model is our favorite. It’s our top pick for photo sling bags. It can be carried as a sling, messenger, or waist pack, and because the soft padding conforms to your back, it’s comfy to wear for long periods. The mix of 840-denier and 1680D ballistic nylon and water-resistant YKK zippers makes it feel like it’s worth twice its price. —Scott Gilbertson

When Is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon’s big sale event runs from Tuesday, October 8, through Wednesday, October 9, 2024. It ends at 2:59 am ET on October 9 (11:59 pm PT).

Will You Need a Prime Membership?

Yes, this event is for Amazon Prime members, meaning most of these Prime Day deals are for subscribers only. If you want to take the ride you need to buy the ticket. In this case, the ticket is $15 a month, and you get free two-day shipping. There are a whole bunch of other Prime Day perks you can take advantage of as well. You can also sign up for a 30-day Amazon Prime trial. Just register before the event and cancel right when the trial ends so you can take advantage of these deals. That said, there are a lot of discounted products available to folks who are not Prime subscribers. Retailers like Best Buy and Walmart are also price-matching some items or throwing their own competing sales.

What Are Invite-Only Deals?

Last year Amazon introduced invite-only deals—a system to help make it easier for Prime members to access deals that are expected to sell out quickly—and the company has brought it back for Prime Big Deal Days. The feature is only available for select products but it has spread across a variety of categories and price points.

If a specific product is part of the Invite-Only Deals system, you’ll see a “Request Invite” button on the right-hand side. All you have to do is click it for a chance to buy the product at that sale price. However, it’s important to note that there’s no guarantee you’ll receive the invite. You can learn more about the program and how it works in our story on How to Shop Like a Pro During Amazon Prime Day.
