The Best Price on a Budget-Friendly Speaker

JBL
Go 5
The JBL Go 5 is our top budget Bluetooth speaker. It's available in 10 different colors, most of which are down to a match of the best price we've seen. It's durable, lightweight, and sounds good for its size.
The Best Android Earbuds at a Low Price
Google
Pixel Buds Pro 2
The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 remain our top earbuds for Android users (they also work with iOS). They're aesthetically pleasing. They sound great. They're comfortable, have a long-lasting battery, and active noise cancellation, plus some useful software features. If you want good earbuds that aren't AirPods, these might be up your alley.
A Smart Display Worth Buying

Amazon
Echo Show 11
Amazon launched two new Echo Show smart displays last year, and the Echo Show 11 was easily the better of the two. This time around, the sound has been improved, and the screen is larger—but not so big that it's unwieldy to put in a kitchen counter. Amazon did raise the price $30 at the end of August, but this is still the lowest deal price I've seen for it since its launch, so it's still a good buy. —Nena Farrell
A Great Charger for All Your Devices

Belkin
3-in-1 Qi2 Charging Stand
I have tested many, many Apple 3-in-1 wireless chargers, and it's worthy of a place on your nightstand. It's been redesigned, now using a classy-looking mix of matte zinc and soft-touch black plastic with a lovely weighted base. The iPhone pad can also be tilted to hold your iPhone vertically or horizontally, with support for StandBy mode. It can fast-charge iPhone and Apple Watch models, as well as charge any AirPods with a wireless charging case. The 5-foot barrel jack cable and 40-watt wall charger come bundled in the box. —Simon Hill
SteelSeries
Arctis Nova 3P Wireless
This is Louryn's go-to gaming headset, which can work seamlessly across consoles, phones, and PCs. It's $20 higher than the all-time low.
Smartish
Side Hustle Wallet
Is it a great deal? No. Is it a totally fine deal on a very good MagSafe wallet? Yes indeed.
Moft
Snap Invisible Phone Tripod Wallet
When it's not $42, it's $50. This MagSafe wallet doubles as a tripod and has Apple Find My compatibility.
Razer
Cobra HyperSpeed
Our favorite gaming mouse has yet to sell for less. It's fast, reliable, and lightweight.

Rivelia
This is a really solid deal on the best automatic latte and cappuccino maker we've tested. The Rivelia is easy to use, and it even has a built-in milk frother in addition to the grinder. We also like the touchscreen display and consistently tasty results. This is an all-time low price, making it an ideal time to pick one up.—Louryn Strampe
A Slick Deal on a New Robot Vacuum

Roborock
Qrevo 2 Pro
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is a solid, relatively affordable robot vacuum. It could do a better job at cleaning up tricky spills, but it has good suction power, and this is the best price we've seen since it was released.

Netvue
Birdfy Lite Smart Bird Feeder
Our top smart bird feeder is available in a few discounted configurations, but we prefer this one since it comes with AI bird identification and a solar charging panel. It's been slightly cheaper before, but this deal is still a good one.

Levoit
Vital 200S-P Air Purifier
I’ve tested air purifiers that cost 10 times as much as this budget Levoit, but I keep coming back to this affordable pick. I really love the connected app, which lets me adjust settings like fan speed and modes from afar and check filter life. Plus, the app sends notifications when air quality is poor and updates when it reaches clean levels again. You can also see historical indoor air quality levels and the corresponding action the purifier took, which helps track patterns. It’s also compatible with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for voice control. —Molly Higgins

Shark
PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum
One of the best cordless stick vacuums you can buy is available in a few different configurations, and one of those options is on sale. The Shark PowerDetect vacuum has powerful suction and a bendable body that can slide under furniture. The base station version comes with more features, and the Speed version is a little cheaper (and our current top pick), but only the sole PowerDetect vacuum is on sale as of press time. —Nena Farrell

TP-Link
Roam 7 (BE3600)
Before it was an honorable mention in our router buying guide, the TP-Link Roam 7 was a top pick. And we still like it! It's a good portable option for traveling or smaller apartments, and it has support for mobile tethering and VPN.
