Cyber Monday deals are live, and while many of these bargains have been around since Black Friday, today brought a fresh batch of price drops. The WIRED Reviews team has hundreds of years of collective experience tracking actual deals—not just inflated markdowns—on products we’ve hand-tested. Below, you’ll find everything that made the cut: True discounts on the gear and gadgets we’d recommend to our friends and family.

Updated December 1, 2025: We’ve added more deals, including great savings on an Asus router, Steelseries speakers, a Casper Dog Bed, Ticket to Ride, and more.

For $500, this Dell Windows laptop is actually good. It has decent color accuracy and brightness, with a 2560 by 1600 resolution. The battery life is impressive. And the touchpad actually feels smooth and responsive, a rarity when it comes to budget laptops. This is something no other Windows laptop can pull off. The only catch is that it’s a doorbuster-style sale on Dell’s own site, meaning once they sell out at this price, this discount will disappear. —Luke Larsen

More PC Laptop Deals

Microsoft

Surface Laptop (7th Edition, 2024)

Microsoft’s Surface Laptop is the closest thing the Windows world has to a MacBook. It’s typically a premium device at a premium price, but for Cyber Monday you can save 20 percent.

Asus

Vivobook 14 (X1407QA)

If the Dell 14 Plus is sold out, the Vivobook 14 is your next best bet for a budget laptop on sale.

Razer

Blade 16 (2025)

Our favorite gaming laptop has a sleek, thin design and impressive graphics. It doesn’t go on sale very often.

Acer

Chromebook Plus 516

Usually, inexpensive Chromebooks have subpar displays and touchpads, but this Acer model’s are just fine—at a killer price.

Best MacBook Deal: MacBook Air (M4) for $749 ($250 off)

Apple

MacBook Air (M4, 2025)

The M4 MacBook Air has been the best laptop on the market since it was released in 2024. The price has slowly dropped, too. It’s now down to $749, and when you compare this directly with the quality of similarly priced laptops, you’ll see why it’s still at the top of my list. The display quality and resolution is top-notch, while the performance and battery life remain best in class. If the rumors are true, we’re still at least a few months out from the M5 MacBook Air, making this M4 still worthy of a purchase at this price. —Luke Larsen

More MacBook Deals

Apple

MacBook Pro (M5)

The new MacBook Pro is only a month old, and it’s already on sale. It wasn’t a significant revamp, though it’s currently the only Mac with the latest M5 chip.

Apple

MacBook Pro (M4 Pro/M4 Max, 2024)

The M4 Pro MacBook Pro remains a super-powerful and premium laptop, a meaningful step up in performance over the M5 MacBook Pro. It’s not a huge discount, but a deal is a deal.

Best Computer Monitor Deal: Dell 27 Plus 4K for $225 ($75 off)

Dell

27 Plus 4K Monitor (S2725QS)

The $200 range used to get you a crappy, 1080p monitor with terrible colors. But thanks to this deal, it can afford you a beautiful 4K monitor with a 120-Hz refresh rate and a fully-adjustable stand. It’s IPS, but it has decent color coverage and accuracy, with a max brightness of 355 nits. Just be aware: it doesn’t have built-in USB ports and the stand doesn’t have enough height adjustment to be used as a vertical monitor. But for run-of-the-mill, at-home use, you won’t find another monitor with the complete package that the Dell 27 Plus 4K has. —Luke Larsen

More Computer Monitor Deals

Samsung

32-Inch Smart Monitor M9 M90SF

This display lives somewhere between OLED monitor and TV. It’s perfect for a mixed-use room that’s home office by day and entertainment room by night.

Samsung

Odyssey G6 OLED Gaming Monitor

This 27-inch OLED monitor strikes the perfect balance of sharpness (1440p) and speed (360-Hz), all packaged together in one of the most beautiful gaming displays you can buy.

Best Wifi Router Deal: Asus RT-BE58U for $98 ($52 off)

Photograph: Simon Hill

This is the Wi-Fi 7 router I recommend for most people in our best Wi-Fi routers guide because it’s easy to set up and will cover homes and apartments up to around 2,000 square feet with fast, reliable connectivity. It’s only dual-band, so you do miss out on the 6-GHz band, but you get all the other advantages of Wi-Fi 7. It also has a generous array of ports and comes with free security software and parental controls. Support for VPN service, separate IoT or guest networks, and Ai Mesh rounds out an excellent device. —Simon Hill

More Wi-Fi Router Deals

Amazon

Eero Pro 6E

This Wi-Fi 6E mesh is ideal for smart homes, provides reliably speedy Wi-Fi, and is oh-so-easy to set up and use. It’s one of our favorites. You can nab the three-pack for 40 percent off.

TP-Link

Deco BE67

This high-performing, tri-band, Wi-Fi 7 mesh is the runner-up in my best mesh guide, and it’s a great value at this discounted price, which is $200 below standard.

Asus

ZenWiFi XT8

A Wi-Fi 6 mesh is still enough for most folks and this is the cheapest we’ve ever seen our favorite system.

TP-Link

Archer BE9700 (BE600)

This router delivers excellent Wi-Fi 7 performance on 6-GHz band, and has loads of multigig ports.

Best Computer Peripheral Deal: Audioengine A2+ Speakers for $223 ($56 off)

  • Audio Engine A2 Plus, two small black speakers on top of a wooden desk

    Photograph: Simon Hill

When it comes to your home office, there’s still nothing like a solid pair of desk speakers to amplify your work-from-home setup. These computer speakers from Audioengine rarely go on sale, so now’s a great time to pick up a pair. They’re our favorite computer speakers, with robust sound, and they won’t take up much room on a desk. Music is where these speakers shine, even without a dedicated subwoofer.—Luke Larsen

More Computer Peripheral Deals

SteelSeries

Rival 3 Gen 2

A good gaming mouse is nice to have even when you’re not gaming, especially one that’s this affordable. They aren’t super groundbreaking, but the reliable Rival 3 Gen 2 comes in wired or wireless flavors.

Emeet

SmartCam S800

This 4K webcam does especially well in low-light conditions, and it’ll be an upgrade to your laptop webcam. Be sure to use the included software to tweak the colors, as they’re a bit green right out of the box.

SteelSeries

Arena 9

This surround system for your PC will crank up the immersion for games and movies.

8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Wireless Controller

This clever controller has satisfyingly clicky triggers, a decent D-pad, and a charging dock.

Best Software Deal: Proton VPN Plus for $36 ($45 off)

Photograph: Jacob Roach

Proton VPN (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is our top pick for the best VPN, and its Plus service is the fastest we’ve tested. You can normally get the service for about $35 per year if you do two years, but this Cyber Monday deal is special in that you get that price for one year (it will renew at $80). Proton has a generous free plan if you’d like to try it, but this deal enables you to test the premium product without much risk. —Martin Cizmar

Best External Storage Deal: Western Digital 5TB My Passport Ultra Drive for $125 ($30 off)

Image may contain: Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware, Computer, Speaker, Disk, and Hard Disk

Western Digital

5TB My Passport Ultra

This portable hard drive is our pick for the best portable backup because it’s small (less than an inch thick) but sturdy and balances respectable performance with convenience in the form of a regular USB-C connection. This is the device we’d want to run daily backups in a hotel room while on location shooting photos or video.

Best Tablet Deal: Apple iPad A16 (2025) for $274 ($75 off)

The current model of iPad (A16) has dropped below the $300 price we typically see on sales. This tablet functions as a second screen for everything from watching movies on a flight to checking the news in bed without your reading glasses. The last one I bought was promptly taken over by my daughter, who uses it to play Roblox. —Martin Cizmar

Mobile Devices & Charging

Best Smartphone Deal: Google Pixel 10 for $599 ($200 off)

    Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

Google’s shiny new Pixel 10 is one of the best Android phones on the market right now. It’s rare to find a phone at this price, especially on sale, with a triple-camera system that includes a 5X optical zoom sensor so you won’t have trouble capturing sharp photos of birds up in the tree, your kid earning their diploma, or your favorite artist onstage. Not to mention this is one of the first flagship Android phones with Qi2 magnets, meaning, similar to Apple’s iPhones, you can magnetically attach the phone to wireless chargers and docks for speedy charging (and attach various fun magnetic accessories). Best of all is Google’s smart software; Yes, there’s a lot of generative AI creep that isn’t super useful, but tools like Call Screen can filter out spam calls, and Now Playing automatically tells you what song is playing at the coffee shop without you having to lift a finger. Read our Best Pixel Phones guide for more details. —Julian Chokkattu

More Smartphone Deals

Motorola

Razr Ultra (2025)

This is the hottest flip-style folding phone of the year. The Razr Ultra comes in snazzy designs, has a strong camera, and a super-useful external display for when you don’t want to open the whole thing up.

Motorola

Moto G Stylus 2025

This Moto G Stylus (make sure it’s the 2025 model) is the best bang for your buck, with wireless charging, good performance, a headphone jack, a microSD card slot, and, naturally, a built-in stylus.

Best Mobile Accessory Deal: Nomad 65W Slim Power Adapter for $41 ($8 off)

Nomad

65W Slim Power Adapter

This is my favorite wall charger, and I’ve been using it for all my gadgets for years. Nomad’s 65-watt charger is incredibly slim, and it can fit in the tiniest pouches of a bag or purse. It comes with two USB-C ports. When both are in use, you get 45 watts out of the left port and 20 out of the right. If one device is plugged in, the 65 watts of power is more than enough for tablets and phones, and should be sufficient for a MacBook Air or Windows laptop (unless it’s a high-powered machine). —Julian Chokkattu

More Accessory Deals

Anker

Prime USB-C to USB-C Cable

Snag a great deal our favorite charging cable. It works over 200 degrees of temp swing and has 240W charging.

Apple

AirTag

The best way for iPhone users to stop losing their stuff is to attach one of these AirTags to it. Cyber Monday pricing makes it easy to pick up a couple more.

Spigen

Ultra Hybrid MagFit Case

This clear case comes in several interesting designs that portray the internal components of a smartphone. It’s my favorite cheap case for the iPhone 17 range, though it’s available for devices dating back to the iPhone 14 Pro.

Ray-Ban

Meta Smart Glasses

Whatever you think of Meta’s AI policies (they’re garbage) the best smart glasses are the ones that you already want to wear. The 2024 version are now on sale.

Best Power Bank Deal: Anker 737 Power Bank for $75 ($35 off)

Photograph: Simon Hill

The Anker 737 power bank is my go-to companion for … well, basically all the time, but especially music festivals. (It’s literally sitting next to me right now.) The beefy brick is surprisingly heavy, and it has a 24,000-mAh capacity with 140-watt fast-charging. It can top off your phone, your Nintendo Switch, or even your laptop. My favorite part is that the power bank itself recharges really quickly, in just about an hour. It also has a neat built-in display that offers helpful information like charging speeds and battery health. —Louryn Strampe

More Power Bank Deals

Nimble

Champ (Series 2)

The Nimble Champ (Series 2) is our favorite power bank lineup thanks to the recycled plastic construction, eye-catching design, and general reliability.

Anker

MagGo Power Bank (10K) (Qi2)

The best Qi2 power bank we’ve tested has never sold for less. It has a handy built-in kickstand, a two-way USB-C port, and a tiny LED display.

Anker

Laptop Power Bank

This hefty power bank is packing serious heat, with a smart and practical design, plenty of speedy charging ports, and a handy display.

Anker

Nano Power Bank With Instacord

A built-in retractable USB-C cable in a power bank is so handy, and it’s one more thing you don’t have to remember. The 10,000-mAh is enough to fully charge any phone.

Best Amazon Device Deal: Amazon Echo Dot for $32 ($18 Off)

This is the current generation of Echo Dot. This small device has powerful, robust sound and works a treat if you want Alexa access in a discreet space. I keep one in my hallway so I can ask quick questions as I move through the house, and one in my bedroom as an alarm clock. It packs some of the best sound you can get for this price, especially when it’s on sale like it is for Cyber Monday. —Nena Farrell

More Amazon Device Deals

Amazon

Kindle Paperwhite (2024, 12th Generation)

The latest generation Kindle Paperwhite came out last fall, and it’s got just about everything we want in an e-reader: an auto-adjusting warm light, a three-month battery life, snappy performance, integration with Overdrive so you can get your library books, and the ability to “speak” several languages.

Amazon

Kindle Scribe (2024)

The Kindle Scribe is a great combo e-reader and digital notebook. There are a few new models coming soon, but we still think this one is worth buying, especially since it’s on sale for $120 off.

Amazon

Kindle Colorsoft and Colorsoft Signature Edition

The Kindle Colorsoft takes everything we love about Kindle’s e-readers and adds a color screen. You’ll get most of the benefits of a Kindle Paperwhite in living color.

Amazon

Kindle (2024, 11th Generation)

Amazon’s cheapest Kindle is still a powerful, snappy device, and comes in fun colors like matcha green. It’s a great gift for bookworks and kids you want to become bookworms.

Best Digital Notebook Deal: reMarkable 2 Bundle for $408 ($70 Off)

  • Digital notebook, open and flat, on a white surface with the digital pen beside it

    Photograph: Nena Farrell

The reMarkable 2 is one of the best digital notebooks you can get. It’s my favorite budget option, which might seem weird since it’s not necessarily the cheapest (it’s the same price as the Kindle Scribe). It’s the best for the features and the available accessories like a keyboard folio at this price point, and it costs less than the rest of reMarkable’s lineup or competitors like Supernote. You can get bundles (you’ll need to choose both a marker and folio) of the reMarkable 2 for $70 right now, letting you add on your favorite folio or upgrade the marker without paying as much as you usually would. The digital notebooks from reMarkable are rarely on sale, so don’t miss this one. —Nena Farrell

Amazon

Kindle Scribe (2024)

The Kindle Scribe is a great combo e-reader and digital notebook. There are a few new models coming this winter, but we still think this one is worth buying, especially since it’s on sale.

Kobo

Libra Colour

This is our favorite digital notebook for readers, and it’s a great affordable color option. It’s only $30 off the typical price, but that’s still some savings on our favorite e-reader.

Best TV Deal: TCL QM6k for $498 ($252 off)

Image may contain: Electronics, Screen, Computer Hardware, Hardware, Monitor, TV, Person, Adult, Ball, Football, and Soccer

Photograph: Ryan Waniata

This is our favorite TV for most people, because it offers excellent color and great processing, and contains virtually every app you could want. Mini LED backlighting means that you’ll have excellent contrast and plenty of performance in bright rooms, and TCL’s anti-glare technology makes it nice even when sunlight hits it. Its price is the main appeal; you’ll pay hundreds of dollars more for a TV that looks any better. —Parker Hall

More TV Deals

LG

G5 OLED

The G5 is LG’s highest-end OLED, and it is perhaps the prettiest screen we saw all year. With the price dropping below $2,000, it’s a no-brainer for your home theater update.

Sony

Bravia 8 II QD-OLED

Sony TVs are high-priced for a reason: They have the best processing in the game, and they tend to look just a bit sharper than their competitors.

LG

C5

This is probably the best all-around OLED of the year. We’ve yet to get this specific model in for testing, but the C series models we have tested in the past offer a great mix of brightness and color, and good performance for gaming and sports.

TCL

QM8K QLED

This is a higher-end TCL that is great for bright rooms and sports, thanks to a super high peak brightness.

Best Projector Deal: Nebula X1 for $2,199 ($801 off)

Reviewer Chris Haslam lavished praise on this Anker projector, which claims to be the world’s first cinema-grade outdoor entertainment system. It’s a 4K projector capable of creating a 200-inch image with 3,500 ANSI lumens of brightness, but requires very little setup. It will also work with microphones for karaoke or business presentations. The list price is very steep for a portable projector, but this Cyber Monday sale drops $800 off. —Martin Cizmar

Best Streaming Device Deal: Roku Streaming Stick Plus for $19 ($21 off)

Roku

Streaming Stick Plus (2025)

This streaming stick is what I’d recommend for anyone who just wants to enable an older TV to stream modern apps. It looks fine, but you may want to spring for a nicer stick if you have a newer TV. That said, you really cannot beat this $20 price. This is a gadget that can breathe new life into an older screen in your basement or garage, or which you can use to stream your shows in a hotel room without being too annoyed if you someday leave it behind. —Parker Hall

Note: There are lots of great streaming service deals right now too, such as HBO Max’s $3 per month offer, which locks you in for a whole year at that price.

More Streaming Deals

Roku

Ultra

The highest-end Roku is the one we’d recommend if you want the highest possible streaming quality, thanks to its support for Dolby Vision.

Google

TV Streamer (4K)

If you like casting to your TV from your phone, the Google TV streaming is a favorite for Android users, thanks to tight Google integration. You can save 25 percent during this event.

Roku

Streaming Stick 4K

This is the best streaming stick for most people, thanks to its support for 4K resolution and HDR.

Amazon

Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Generation)

This is a solid 4K streaming stick with an easy-to-use operating system that favors Amazon content.

Best Soundbar Deal: Yamaha Audio SR-C30A for $220 ($60 off)

Image may contain: Electronics, Speaker, and Home Theater

Courtesy of Yamaha

This is our favorite soundbar system for most people, thanks to its great wireless subwoofer, solid audio processing, and compact footprint below most screens. If you’ve been struggling to hear the voices on screen, or you just want for a more cinematic experience, I recommend the SR-C30A. —Parker Hall

More Soundbar Deals

Sony

Bravia Theater System 6

If you don’t want to see speakers all around your room, the System 6 is a classy and good-looking wireless system from Sony that will fill your room with sound without physically standing out.

Yamaha

True X Bar 50A

This is essentially Yamaha’s Dolby Atmos-enabled version of the SR-C30A above, and it is worth the upgrade if you’re looking for even more immersion.

Best Bluetooth Speaker Deal: JBL Flip 7 for $97 ($53 off)

JBL’s Bluetooth speakers are some of our favorites that money can buy, and the Flip 7 is no exception. We like how durable it is, as well as how loud the tube-shaped speaker can get when placed on a table or in a corner. —Parker Hall

Sonos

Era 100

Sonos has fallen from grace in the past two years, thanks to a wonky app that still seems to have issues, but the Era 100 remains a great wireless speaker with solid sound.

Sony

SRS-XB100

These little Bluetooth speakers are a great addition to a hike or camping trip, and they easily tie to a pack.

JBL

Clip 5

We like the Clip series because they have a built-in carabiner that lets you clip them to anything around.

Tribit

Stormbox Blast 2

This boombox-style speaker will bring the party anywhere, complete with built-in lights.

Best Headphone Deal: Sony WH-1000XM6 for $398 ($62 off)

These are the best noise-canceling headphones from Sony, and among the best wireless headphones you can buy. They have insane processing power that can easily silence even the loudest sounds around you, and the included microphones are also awesome for Zoom calls. Sound quality is excellent, with custom-made drivers delivering Sony’s sleek and flat sound. —Parker Hall

More Headphone Deals

Apple

AirPods Pro 2 (With USB-C)

AirPods Pro—even last-gen models like these—are absolutely still worth buying for iPhone owners. They have great noise canceling, decent sound, and they pair instantly with any iOS device. You can save 30 percent during this sale.

Beats

Powerbeats Pro 2

These are some of our favorite workout headphones, thanks to their clip-based design and good integration with iOS, thanks to Apple’s Beats ownership.

Sony

WH-1000XM5

Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones remain some of the finest you can buy, despite being older than the latest WH-1000XM6.

I like these see-through over-ears, which have one of the best volume knobs I have used on a pair of headphones, and which feature audio designed by acclaimed hi-fi brand KEF.

TP-Link

Kasa Mini Smart Plug EP10

TP-Link’s Kasa line of mini smart plugs performs as well as larger plugs but in a smaller size that won’t obstruct a second outlet. The app is simple to navigate and has scenes, timers, and schedules. For the extra cautious, there’s even an away mode that turns the plugs on and off randomly during the time you choose to confuse anyone observing your routine. Smart plug sales are in short supply this Cyber Monday, but this is a few bucks cheaper than it was in recent weeks. —Martin Cizmar

Branch

Ergonomic Chair Pro

This is our top office chair recommendation for most people. Branch’s Ergonomic Chair Pro offers oodles of adjustments, from seat pan to lumbar support, all while looking nice in your office. It’s hard to find affordable, good office chairs, especially under $500, but Branch is one of the few companies delivering in this price bracket. We’ve rounded up more deals on Branch products here. —Julian Chokkattu

More Home Office Deals

Secretlab

Magnus Pro

Secretlab might be a gamer-focused brand, but anyone can appreciate its metal, magnetic Magnus Pro standing desk. The cable organization is off the charts, largely thanks to the trench at the back and built-in power in one of the legs. Pick up magnetic accessories for more tidying.

Herman Miller

Aeron

Herman Miller’s Aeron is an iconic office chair. Yes, it’s expensive, but this is a chair you won’t have to think about for more than a decade. It’s supportive, can be tailored to your body size, and has an excellent 12-year warranty. We’ve rounded up more Herman Miller deals here.

Logitech

Casa Pop-Up Desk

This pop-up stand includes all the basic accessories you need for a more ergonomic work setup while on the go.

Adjustable Laptop Stand

Constructed from anodized aluminum with a medium-density fiberboard surface, this adjustable stand is an affordable option compared to other premium wooden models. Plus, the added $10 price drop makes it even sweeter.

Best Robot Vacuum Deal: Yeedi M12 Pro+ for $340 ($460 off)

Normally, I would expect to spend around $1000 for a new, well-functioning, dual-function vacuum-mop robot vacuum. But you can get an even bigger break on price if you look at past-season models. Yeedi is the affordable sub-brand of the higher-end Ecovacs. At 4- and 3.5-liter capacities, the clean/dirty water tanks are just ginormous and offer excellent value for the price. You won’t have to switch them out too often. This model also has an extendable arm for cleaning hard-to-reach places and a decent 11,000 Pa of suction.—Adrienne So

Dyson

V15s Detect Submarine

This is the very best price we’ve seen all year for this fantastic Dyson vacuum. It’s our favorite vacuum cleaner for both wet and dry cleaning, since it takes the technology we love from the V15 and adds a wet mop head attachment. WIRED reviewer Adrienne So says this vacuum is one of the best things that has ever happened to her. —Nena Farrell

This vacuum is excellent for small spaces like a studio or one-bedroom apartment since it’s so compact and lightweight. The Walmart price is a hige savings this Cyber Monday.

Dyson

HushJet Purifier Compact

The debut of Dyson’s first tabletop-sized air purifier was just announced in September; it’s finally here, and we’ve tried it. Its claim to fame is that it uses electrostatic filtration, which incorporates electrically charged plates to attract dust, pollen, dander, and other allergens. In our guide to the Best Air Purifiers, WIRED contributor Lisa Wood Shapiro notes this means the filter can last up to five years, as opposed to six to 12 months like a typical HEPA. She found it to be a little loud, measuring twice the advertised decibels on its highest setting, but it’s otherwise a great option for smaller areas like bedrooms. —Kat Merck

The Arlo Pro 5S tops our best outdoor security cameras guide by offering crisp 2K video, color night vision, a wide 160-degree field of view, and clear two-way audio. It also boasts reliable AI recognition for people and pets, a direct Wi-Fi connection, and a siren to scare intruders away. The Arlo app is fantastic, too. The catch is a pricey subscription (Arlo Secure costs $8 per month for one camera or $13 per month for unlimited cameras) that’s required for subject recognition, smart alerts, and cloud storage. —Simon Hill

Best Water Filter Deal: Canopy Handheld Shower Wand for $75 ($75 Off)

Canopy

Handheld Filtered Showerhead

Canopy is the best filtered shower wand I’ve tested, a tri-layer filter my tests showed to reduce the total chlorine levels in my water to undetectable levels out of the box, and maintain most of this effectiveness for a couple months before a refill. Filter replacement is easy, meaning you’re likely to actually do it, and Canopy’s filter replacements don’t cost as much as some competitors. The upfront price is usually more of a barrier, but half off is a very good discount. —Matthew Korfhage

Birdfy Plastic Smart Bird Feeder

This is the best price you’ll get all year for our all-around favorite smart bird feeder. It may not be the fanciest model, but it’s user-friendly and reliable. You can enjoy it without a subscription (though for the AI identification and image/video storage, you’ll want to spring for the extra $5 a month), and the app makes it easy to save and share great captures of birds. Note that Birdfy only works with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and the base model comes without a solar panel. I don’t mind this, as Birdfy’s panel has to be mounted separately, and it’s hard to do this when the feeder is installed on a pole, which is what I recommend. —Kat Merck

Indoor Hydroponic Garden

I test indoor hydroponic garden systems all year round, and Gardyn has been my consistent favorite. I have two of them—the Home 4, with 30 plants, and the brand-new Studio 2, with 16 plants—and they both look like living works of art, overflowing with everything from peas and peppers to nasturtiums and even canna lilies. The systems do take a fair amount of maintenance, but as a busy, full-time working parent, it’s nothing I haven’t been able to handle. If you’ve been curious about these, all Gardyn systems are now 20 percent off for Cyber Monday, netting you $180 off a Home or $111 off a Studio. If you don’t mind the older, original studio, that’s on an even deeper discount for just $337. They also come with a free 30-day trial of Kelby, the AI growing assistant that plans your watering and maintenance schedules for you. —Kat Merck

But it is also a creature of remarkable precision, hand assembled in the Netherlands to produce some of the cleanest cups of drip coffee I’ve tasted. As someone in the coffee industry what’s on their counter. There’s a good chance they say Moccamaster. Just note that different colors have different discounts. —Matthew Korfhage

This is the lowest price I’ve seen it, and while supplies last you can also get a free travel mug, knock box, or pitcher. It’s especially great for lovers of medium or dark roast beans. —Matthew Korfhage

The Breville Joule—the same oven, but with a handy autopilot feature— is on almost the same sale, and it’s $400. Both are the cheapest they’ve been this year. But this $300 price, for an oven I know to serve well for years, is hard to pass up. —Matthew Korfhage

Best Smartwatch Deal: Apple Watch Series 10 for $310 ($120 off)

Photograph: Adrienne So

If you already own an Apple Watch, I generally do not advocate upgrading to the latest model, given they’re all pretty iterative. I do think that this year’s Series 11 is worth getting because, for the first time ever, it really does have a full 24 hours of battery life. It’s on sale for $369 right now. But last year’s Series 10 (Apple’s 10th anniversary watch) has the same S10 chip as the latest watches. It also has the same slim case, large screen, and is compatible with watchOS 26 (with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone), so you can still enjoy the Liquid Glass design, Workout Buddy, and flick away Smart Stack with your wrist. —Adrienne So

At just 1.8 pounds, it packs a powerful brushless 60-watt motor, three speed settings, and five different massage heads designed for most muscle groups. It can connect to the Hyperice app via Bluetooth for guided routines, provides up to three hours of battery life, and is TSA-approved for carry-on travel. —Boutayna Chokrane

Urevo’s CyberPad for Home is our favorite walking pad. It can go up to a 14 percent incline, which is like walking up a steep hill. Our reviewer Kristin Canning was genuinely able to get a good sweat going while working, although the speed tops out at 4 mph. It’s easy to set up right out of the box, and you can control it either via the Bluetooth remote or the app. If you use the app, it offers workouts with pretty scenery and will also log your workout data from the machine so you don’t need a separate fitness tracker. It feels pretty stable underfoot and there are also fun extras, like little lights under the side rail so you can feel like walking is a party! —Adrienne So

Even on a bad day, this is the absolute best beard trimmer set you can get for south of $100—quiet, reliable, not subject to nicks or pulls. It’s a contender for my favorite grooming set overall in part because of the ridiculously good performance on the foil shaver attachment (Philips kills it on foil shavers in general). The metal body offers admirable heft and durability, and the battery will run a ridiculous five hours without needing a charge—months’ worth of shaves. —Matthew Korfhage

Here it is; the one, the only, the legend—the original air styler that spawned a hundred imitators. I tested it for the first time this year for my guide to the Best Hair Straighteners. I had heard that it wasn’t a one-stop shop for 3a curly hair and above, and as you can see from my picture above, it’s not. I still needed to use a traditional flat iron afterward, especially on the top of my head. But the Dyson engineering and quality are evident in every small detail, from the Hyperdymium motor—same as in Dyson’s vacuum cleaners—to the glass bead thermistors that regulate the tool’s temperature. I can see how it would be life-changing for those with wavy or just generally easier-to-straighten hair. The Airstrait doesn’t go on sale all that often, so if it was on your Christmas shopping list, now is the time. —Kat Merck

Cyber Monday Retailers To Watch

Amazon: For better or worse, Amazon has changed the game when it comes to shopping—if you want it, Amazon probably sells it. In the tradition of Amazon Prime Day, Amazon is rolling out major discounts for Cyber Monday and Cyber Monday on everything from bedding to home office gear to TVs to air fryers. This is a good time to save on the brand’s own hardware, like Kindles and Blink security cameras, some of which are 50% off.

Walmart: The Arkansas-based big box store has lots of tech deals like the gray colorway of Beats Solo4 for $79 ($50 off) plus the home and garden deals you’d expect like a Blackstone griddle for $157 ($67 off).

REI: Outdoor co-op REI is a favorite among hikers, campers, and general outdoor enthusiasts. REI’s cyber week sale starts November 29, with rotating deals on a myriad of WIRED-tested products, though you will find their deals live now, notably not called “Cyber Monday.”

Home Depot: Home improvement projects and general home upkeep can get costly quick. Home Depot has Cyber Monday discounts for virtually everything you need for the home, including Christmas trees and smart home appliances.

Branch: We love Branch’s home office furniture, including some WIRED-tested favorite office chairs. Everything is 20 percent off for Cyber Monday, so now’s a great time to upgrade.

Helix: We love Helix mattresses—if you’re going to be spending a third of your life on something, it better be good. Upgrade your sleep for less with Helix’s Cyber Monday sale, with 25 percent off sitewide.

Target: Target has everything from groceries to flat screens to celebrity-endorsed beauty products. In addition to regular Cyber Monday sales, Target has price match guarantee and doorbuster clearance items.

Best Buy: In addition to major discounts for Cyber Monday and Cyber Monday, Best Buy rolls out new doorbusters every Friday, slashing prices on everything from refrigerators to MacBooks. We’ve rounded up the best Best Buy deals we’ve seen so far, including the latest Apple MacBook Pro (M5) for $1,349 ($250 off) and Google Pixel 10 for $599 ($200 off).

Dyson: Making everything from blow dryers to vacuums to air purifiers, we at WIRED are generally huge fans of this well-made, long-lasting (but often pricey) tech, made a lot more affordable with Cyber Monday sales.

Lowe’s: In addition to Cyber Monday sales, Lowe’s has rotating daily deals on home improvement essentials, upgraded appliances, and outdoor tools like grills and lawnmowers.

Atlas: At WIRED, we love caffeine, and subscription services. So we go bonkers for this coffee club subscription, and now you can get a free bag of beans for Cyber Monday.

Sephora: Not only does Sephora have a dizzying amount of cosmetics, it also carries some of our favorite WIRED-tested hair straighteners, blow dry brushes, and LED devices.
