BEST TECH DEALS


15% Off Select $50 Orders | eBay | Promo code POPULAR. Minimum $25 purchase, maximum $50 discount.
Graphic: Shep McAlister

eBay’s running another big sale, this time taking 15% off thousands of items from popular brands with promo code POPULAR. This deal isn’t sitewide, but you can browse through eligible items here, and sort through the deluge by category or by seller. Just note that there’s a $25 minimum purchase requirement, and that the most you can save with the coupon is $50.

If you’re a bit overwhelmed, I’d start by checking out the Anker (hint: check out the refurbished Capsule projector for $221), Adidas, and Worx outlets, all of which offer a ton of selection and great prices, even before you factor in the promo code. Dyson is also included, and is perhaps the brand with the best eBay presence of all. The 15% off plus the company’s refurb discounts mean you can get a great vacuum like the Dyson V7 Animal for as little as $183.



Anker SoundCore Spirit X Bluetooth Headphones | $33 | Amazon
Graphic: Amazon

Anker’s SoundCore Spirit X headphones are the sportiest member of the SoundBuds family, and are designed with active users in mind. Their ear wings ensure they stay put while you exercise, and an internal hydrophobic coating means your sweat won’t fry them. Their best spec though? 12 hours of battery life, which is basically unheard of in the space.

Advertisement

They normally sell for $40, but you can get a pair for $33 right now, no promo code required. Even if you already have a set of wireless headphones, it never hurts to toss an extra pair in your gym bag or luggage in case you forget them.



2-Pack iClever 4.2A USB Power Receptacle | $15 | Amazon | Promo code IC2A2U01

We’ve seen our fair share of USB power receptacle deals, but this model from iClever is the most affordable option yet. Half the things you plug in these days probably plug into USB, so it just makes a ton of sense to install these around your house. $10 is as cheap as these things ever get individually, but today, you can get a two-pack for $15 with promo code IC2A2U01. Just make sure you know what you’re doing.



Aukey Surge Protector/Night Light | $14 | Amazon | Promo code AUKEYP06
Graphic: Shep McAllister

This Aukey surge protector orients its four AC outlets and two USB ports to the side, which is great for hiding behind furniture. But it’s also a night light and phone stand, which is sort of contradictory to the furniture thing, but I guess you could use it either way. Get it for $14 with promo code AUKEYP06.



Twelve South HiRise Deluxe | $20 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Your favorite mobile devices are worthy of a throne, and you won’t find a better one than Twelve South’s HiRise Deluxe, now down to an all-time low $20.

Advertisement

Unlike many docks with built-in (and breakable) connectors, this incorporates either an included Lightning or MicroUSB cable, meaning you can swap them out as necessary. And despite its minimalist aesthetic, it’s strong enough to support even the largest tablets. Hell, one of the promo photos shows it holding an Apple Magic Keyboard.



Logitech Z623 2.1 Speaker System | $80 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

If you still listen to music, or any sounds really, through your TV or computer’s built-in speakers, it’s time for an intervention. The Logitech Z623 speaker set was one of Lifehacker readers’ five favorite computer audio systems, and it’s down to its best price ever today.



VPNs have been in the news, and whether you want to get around video geoblocks, circumvent proxy filters, or just keep prying eyes out of your browsing data while using sketchy public Wi-Fi, reader-favorite Private Internet Access has a deal to fit your needs.

Advertisement

Private Internet Access doesn’t do much in the way of discounting, but they offer exclusive pricing and packages just for our readers that you won’t find anywhere else. Here are your options, and what you’d pay if you bought the same plan elsewhere:

These deals are only for our readers, but we aren’t sure how long they’ll be available, so go ahead and sign up while you can.


Vizio’s 65″ P-Series TV has pretty much everything you could want, including Dolby Vision HDR (the good kind), smart apps, and even 128 local dimming zones. Walmart has it for $950 right now, compared to $1300 or more elsewhere on the web.

Advertisement

If that’s a little out of your price range, here are some more great TV deals that Walmart is currently offering, including a 55″ 4K TV for just $280.



Samsung U3 32GB MicroSD Card | $12 | Amazon

Samsung U3 64GB MicroSD Card | $18 | Amazon

Samsung U3 128GB MicroSD Card | $35 | Amazon

Samsung 256GB MicroSD Card | $90 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Update: All of these deals are still available, and still excellent, but we’ll add a mention of this 200GB SanDisk (a capacity that Samsung doesn’t offer) for $54. It was cheaper on Prime Day, but otherwise, that’s a very good deal.

Advertisement

Samsung’s U3-rated microSD cards are some of the fastest and most popular options out there—I have the 128GB model in my own Nintendo Switch—and all four sizes are down to new all-time low prices today on Amazon. If you need extra space for your action cam, smartphone, tablet, Switch, or anything else, these are extremely good deals.



Amazon Fire HD 8 32GB | $60 | Amazon
Photo: Amazon

Is Amazon’s Fire HD 8 in the same ballpark as, say, an iPad Pro? Of course not. But $60 is an insane price for a tablet with a 1280×800 screen, 32GB of storage (with a microSD slot for more), and a 12 hour battery. If you mostly want a tablet for passive media consumption, or just want one for your kid, this is probably all you need.

Advertisement

For context, the regular price for the smaller, 16GB model is $80, so you’re saving money and doubling your storage with this deal, if you can lock in your order in time.



Etekcity 2-Pack Energy Monitoring Smart Plugs | $17 | Amazon | Promo code YEJ7ZTJV
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Smart outlet switches have become the atomic unit of smart home gadgetry, and you can get stock up on Etekcity models with Alexa support and even energy monitoring today. Just use promo code YEJ7ZTJV at checkout to get a two-pack for $17, making these the cheapest smart plugs we’ve ever seen.


BEST HOME DEALS


Gourmia Sous Vide Cookers | Amazon
Image: Amazon

Sous-vide’s ease-to-results ratio is so good, it’ll feel like you’re cheating at cooking, and if you haven’t already gotten yourself a circulator, you can fix that today for as low as $56.

Advertisement

The four cheapest Gourmia models in today’s Amazon Gold Box all seem the same on paper, just with minor design tweaks through the generations. I’d probably get the cheapest of the four that hasn’t sold out.

For $75 though, you can upgrade to a Wi-Fi model, which allows you to set up your water bath in the morning (not with food in it, obviously), and then start your circulator on your way home from work, so that your water is up to temperature when you get home.

Whichever circulator you choose, these prices are only available today, and could sell out early.


It’s too hot now, but very soon, you’ll happy to hang out around a fire pit for a little extra warmth. This 26-inch AmazonBasics one has a mesh screen, log grate, all the fire tools included. At $43, this AmazonBasics fire pit hasn’t been this cheap since Black Friday and it folds up for easy storage.



Mosa Bamboo Expandable Bath Tray | $25 | Amazon | Promo code OJTS4EC4
Graphic: Shep McAllister

These are dark times we live in, but dammit, you can still take a bath to relax. This bamboo tray can expand to span your tub, and includes a cupholder, fold-up mirror, and more space to rest things like your Kindle or a scented candle. It’s only $25 with promo code OJTS4EC4, so go ahead, treat yourself.



Delsey Helium Suitcase | Woot
Graphic: Erica Offutt

Snag some new luggage from this Delsey Helium Woot sale. They have two carry-ons, a 25″, and a 29″, so you’ll be able to find the right size for any trip.

Advertisement

These lighweight, hardsided suitcases expand an additional 2 inches for all you overpackers, and have four spinner wheels for easy maneuverability. This sale will end at the end of the day or when the products sell out, so grab them before they’re gone!



20% off Chemical Guys | Amazon
Graphic: Erica Offutt

Chemical Guys make some of the most popular car detailing products on the market, and Amazon’s currently taking 20% off several soaps, waxes, tire and glass cleaners, and more today. They’ve been running coupons on their cleaning products relatively often, but today’s sale also includes some of their popular cleaning supplies for boats too.

Advertisement

Just note that the prices listed on this page don’t include the discount, but you’ll be able to see the discount at checkout.



Pinty Oversized LED Clock | $80 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

This giant clock has some extra features like a countdown mode, a stopwatch, and even a thermometer, but it’s okay if you never get around to using them. It’s a giant digital clock, it looks awesome, and it’s as cheap as it ever gets right now. That’s enough.

Advertisement

It’s been down to this price for a little while on Amazon, but it’s been out of stock for a lot of that time.



Squatty Potty 7″ | $20 | Amazon

Squatty Potty 9″ | $20 | Amazon

Try not to panic, but you’re probably pooping all wrong. Luckily, there’s an easy solution: a Squatty Potty, either the 7″ model or the 9″ model, marked down to $20 today from the usual $25.

Advertisement

Squatty Potty is designed to lift your legs into an ideal bowel movement position, and according to Amazon reviewers at least, it really works. I can’t really overstate how popular this thing has been with our readers over the past year or so, so it’s time to purchase or get off the pot. Choose whichever model works best with the height of your toilet, but if you aren’t sure, the 7″ tends to be the most popular.



Utopia Bedding Gusseted Quilted Pillow | $28 | Amazon
Graphic: Erica Offutt

Doze off with these discounted pillow 2 packs from Amazon. Although they don’t have the brand recognition of My Pillow, they are one of Amazon’s top-selling brands. The king and queen sizes are discounted about $10 – $5 off to $28, and they’re designed for back and stomach sleepers. So if it’s time for a pillow refresh, pick these up before this deal hits the snooze button.


Anker Roav Viva | $36 | Amazon | Promo code KINJASCC
GIF: Shep McAllister

Love Alexa, and wish you could take her with you on your commute? Anker’s running a $14 discount on their hands-free, Alexa-enabled car charger today with exclusive promo code KINJASCC. designed one.



Lifewit Insulated Picnic Bag | $13 | Amazon | Promo code K3G7DU2G
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Lifewit describes this as a casserole dish carrier, but really, it’s just a picnic bag or lunch box, though I suppose it could hold a small casserole. But whatever you put in it, it’s attractive, insulated, and only $13 right now with promo code K3G7DU2G.



Extra 10% Off at Sheets & Giggles | Promo code GIZMODO
Photo: Sheets & Giggles

Sheets & Giggles new bed sheets are made from eucalyptus trees instead of cotton, which is way better for the environment, and just as importantly, makes for really comfortable sheets. They’re already 10% off this month as a preorder special, but for a limited time, promo code GIZMODO will save you an extra 10% on top of that.

25% off Pet Krewe Costumes | Amazon | Promo code GDAG23DC
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Halloween’s still a few months away, but let’s be honest here, there’s never a bad time to dress up your pet. Pet Krewe is the company that made the dog lion mane featured in this Amazon ad—hey, who’s chopping onions in here?—and our readers can save 25% on every costume they sell right now with promo code GDAG23DC.

Pictured above: Miller, our coworker Zach’s dog sporting the classic dog lion mane, and Garrus, my cat, rocking the feline version. They didn’t send us the dog spider to test, but that would be perfect for Halloween. Just be sure to head over to Pet Krewe’s Amazon store to see all the deals.



Hydro Flask Tumbler | $15 | REI
Graphic: Erica Offutt

Vacuum-insulated bottles can keep drinks hot or cold all day long, and Hydro Flask makes some of the most popular options out there. REI has discounted a few colors of their 22 oz tumbler to just $15, that’s a good chunk off from the usual $30. This sale will end on Monday and it might sell out early, so grab one before they’re gone.



Gum Sale | Amazon
Graphic: Erica Offutt

Chew on this: Amazon’s discounting Orbit, Extra, Altoids, 5 Gum, and even a caffeine-infused gum by couple bucks today. Just to note, some of these items are Add-On items, which means they’ll have to ship with a larger order. So head over to this sale and pick up some of your favorites before this deal bursts.

Graphic: Shep McAllister

If you own an Instant Pot, and I know for a fact that a lot of you do, this $19 kit (with promo code KINJA35OFF) will let you use it in a few new ways. You get a steamer basket, an egg bite mold, and two oven mitts, all made from non-reactive, easy-to-store, and dishwasher-safe silicone.

Update: Working again, if you missed it yesterday.

This RGB lamp from Aukey is ostensibly meant for bedside use, but with a rechargeable battery and a hanging strap, you could use it in your yard, at a campsite, on your patio, or anywhere else where light is scarce and power isn’t readily available. Get it for $17 with promo code AUKEYS10.



Tacklife Universal Socket Set | $6 | Amazon | Promo code ECQG7Z4L
Graphic: Shep McAllister

While its grip might not be quite as secure as a perfectly-sized socket, this Tacklife universal socket can get a good-enough hold on almost any bolt, not to mention oddly-shaped things like hooks, without taking up a ton of space in your tool box. Get it for just $6 with promo code ECQG7Z4L.



Eufy 33′ Copper String Lights | $10 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Anker’s home goods brand, Eufy, put its uber-popular copper string lights back on sale today for $10, one of the best prices we’ve seen on the version that includes a remote. Go make your patio pretty!

Just check the list of eligible titles here (also embedded below), buy your tires, and submit your rebate online for the fastest processing.

VBIGER Ratchet Belts | $9 | Amazon | Promo code JY63RPLU
Graphic: Shep McAllister

It’s not like having a belt that doesn’t fit right is a huge issue, it’s a personal problem. But it’s really, really annoying. Ratchet belts are the answer to that small, but not insignificant problem, and Amazon has a bunch from ratchet belts discounted to just $9 each today when you use promo code JY63RPLU, which should work on every variety on the page. That’s a lot cheaper than similar belts we’ve seen, but they have great reviews, so at this price, why not give it a shot?

That means you won’t have to spend as much time cutting grass and breaking pots to afford it.

Vogek 2,000 mAh Xbox One Controller Charging Bundle | $24 | Amazon | Promo code CFAP5RU7

In the year 2018, Xbox One controllers still, inexplicably, don’t have rechargeable batteries built in. Luckily, it’s a pretty easy fix with these affordable kits, which include a charging dock and two battery packs that slot into the AA battery compartment on your controllers.

Advertisement

Beyond the color difference of the two models, the black, $17 option includes 1,200mAh batteries, while the white one bumps you up to 2,000mAh. Just be sure to note the appropriate promo codes for each.

If you want to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a GameCube controller, as nature intended, you’ll want to preorder the controller and/or the official adapter now. Not only are they in stock (hardly a given with Nintendo hardware), Amazon’s actually taking a tiny bit off at checkout for each, no Prime membership required. It’s not a big discount, but it’s better than nothing.

Advertisement

Note: If you have the original adapter for the Wii U, or any old GameCube controller, those will work too.

Prime members can also preorder and save $12 on the game.

Grab yourself a Ridley Amibo while you’re there. You know you want to.


When these 3/4-sized Arcade1Up arcade cabinets first went on preorder for $299, we thought it was a mistake, since they were supposed to cost $399. At this point though, it seems clear that $299 is in fact what they now cost, but inventory is still limited, since they were out of stock for awhile.

Anyway, they’re all back now, and they’re still $299, so if you want one, now’s your chance.
