BEST TECH DEALS

Nebula Capsule | $280 | Amazon | Promo code KJNEBULA

Anker, as you probably know by now, makes a lot of products. But I don’t think any of them are as ambitious as the Nebula Capsule, a surprisingly good portable projector shrunk down to the size of a soda can.

At this size, the Capsule is obviously not as bright as a projector you’d permanently mount to your ceiling, and its standard definition resolution won’t dazzle, but it can run for hours on a charge, and has great audio built in, making it ideal for an impromptu outdoor movie night, or even as a replacement for your bedroom TV. I’ve played around with it, and you can see all of my thoughts here.

For a limited time, the Capsule is marked down to $280 on Amazon with promo code KJNEBULA, which is about $70 less than usual, and within $2 of the best price we’ve seen since it was up for preorder on Indiegogo.



Anker PowerPort Qi 10 | $20 | Amazon | Promo code ANKEBEST

The recent release of Qi-compatible iPhones means that wireless charging pads are flying off the shelves, and you can score Anker’s 10W model for $6 off today when you clip the on-page coupon.

While it’ll only charge iPhones at 5W (which is fine for overnight charging), this 10W pad can fast-charge compatible Android phones as well. I bought it for myself late last year, and use it with my iPhone X every night. I appreciate that the edges of the pad light up temporarily when you set your phone down, so I can be sure I placed it correctly even when I’m groggy and not wearing my glasses.



Tile Combo Pack | $46 | Amazon

Tile is the ultimate device for anyone who can’t stop losing their things, and you can get four Tiles (in two different designs) for $46 today, an all-time low.

Advertisement

You’ll get two Tile Slims, which are designed to slide into a wallet or stick to objects, and two Tile Mates, which you can attach to keychains or keep in bags. Once you have your Tiles in place, the Tile app on your phone can ping them over Bluetooth and cause them to beep until you find what you’re looking for. And if your lost item is outside of your phone’s Bluetooth range, it’ll show up on a map automatically any time another Tile user comes into range.

Buying these Tiles a la carte would set you back about $110, so if you can think of four things you want to track, this is a fantastic bargain.


The vast majority of USB-C Power Delivery-capable battery packs top out at 30W of output, which is great for a 12″ MacBook or a Nintendo Switch, but is a little underpowered for, say, a MacBook Pro.

Advertisement

But this 19,200mAh pack from Jackery though boosts the USB-C port to 45W, which should keep your high-draw devices humming even if you’re working on processor-intensive tasks. That USB-C port works both ways, too, so it can recharge at a speedy 45W if you have a powerful-enough wall charger. At $60, it’s very well priced for this space, and even includes an LCD screen that shows you the actual percentage of battery remaining, rather than, like, a series of dots or whatever other batteries use.

Today’s price is $20 less than usual, and an all-time low, no promo code required.



Omoton Adjustable Device Stand | $9 | Amazon | Promo code Gizmodo8
Graphic: Shep McAllister

This gadget stand is made of aluminum, can hold your device at any angle, and is only $9 with promo code Gizmodo8. It’ll work with phones, tablets, and even the Nintendo Switch, so what are you still doing here?



G Pen Elite | $105 | Grenco Science | Promo code KINJA30

G Pen Pro | $75 | Grenco Science | Promo code KINJA30

The Grenco G Pen Elite was already one of the best ground material vaporizers for the money at its usual $150, but now, you can get it for just $105 this week during the company’s 4/20 sale.

Advertisement

Or, for just $75, you can also opt for the smaller G Pen Pro, which should perform similarly, but with a smaller chamber capacity and less precise temperature adjustment. Either way, these deals aren’t available for long, so get in before they go up in a puff of smoke.

From Gizmodo’s review:

“Pleasant” has come to define much of my time with the Grenco G Pen Elite. It charges quickly via USB and has battery life that last for days of regular use. It also feels great in my tiny hands and fits easily in a coat pocket or a purse. The thing that takes it from “perfectly pleasant” to near outstanding is the price. It’s just $170. That’s damn cheap compared to it’s competitors. The Firefly 2 costs $329.95 and the Crafty retails for $339. Sure those products heat via convection instead of roasting a ceramic chamber, they’re much easier to pull on, and the clouds they produce are enough to fishbowl someone sitting with you, but for nearly half the price the Grenco G Pen Elite is a fantastic deal.



GoPro Hero5 Black | $250 | Target | Plus $35 gift card
Photo: Gizmodo

The GoPro Hero5 Black is no longer the latest and greatest—the Hero6 can shoot 4K/60 rather than just 4K/30, for example—but it’s still a terrific action camera with enough features to please nearly every adrenaline junkie. And at $250 plus a $35 Target gift card (compared to $400 for the Hero6), it’s an absolute steal.



Anker SoundCore 2 | $30 | Amazon

With its 24 hour battery life, impressive bass, and crystal clear sound quality, the Anker SoundCore has long been our readers’ favorite affordable Bluetooth speaker, and its water-resistant successor is down to $30 today, or $10 less than usual.

Advertisement

The SoundCore 2 still includes dual drivers and that amazing 24 hour battery; the only real differences are a slightly tweaked design and the aforementioned water resistance. That means you can take it to the pool, the beach, or even the shower without fear.



Apple Watch Series 3 | $297-$387 | Nike
Photo: Alex Cranz (Gizmodo)

While deals on older Apple Watch models aren’t uncommon, we don’t see too many discounts on the new Series 3. Today though, (checks notes…) Nike? Is offering some of the best savings we’ve seen.

Advertisement

Choose from a bunch of different sizes, finishes and band styles, and be sure to check if you’re buying an LTE model or not, as both are included in the sale.

The Series 3 is where the Apple Watch really came into its own as a product, and is probably the best wearable you can buy if you’re really into fitness. It’s very waterproof, includes built-in GPS, and the LTE models can stream music, or receive calls and texts while you’re out on a run.



Amazon Warehouse Extra 20% Off Sale | Amazon
Screenshot: Amazon

Amazon aficionados know that the company sells lightly used products at significant discounts under its Amazon Warehouse brand, and to celebrate Earth Week, you can save an extra 20% at checkout. Because it’s sort of like recycling, I guess?

Advertisement

Tons of categories are included in the sale, including video games, TVs, kitchen appliances, and cameras. Just find an Amazon Warehouse listing of an eligible item, add it to your cart, and you should see an extra 20% discount at checkout, on top of the already-discounted price you got for buying used. Most products tend to only have a handful of Warehouse listings though, so go cross a few things off your wish list before the good stuff is all gone.



iClever 10,000mAh Solar Battery Pack | $14 | Amazon | Promo code TTTTZZZZ
Graphic: Shep McAllister

$14 (with promo code TTTTZZZZ) is a pretty good price for a 10,000mAh battery pack. It’s absolutely insane for one with a solar panel and 12-LED flashlight array. Obviously, that little solar panel won’t recharge the battery very quickly, but it can trickle charge it while you’re outdoors, so it’s nice to have.


DirecTV Now is one of the better over-the-top cable replacements out there, and with this deal, there’s very little reason not to give it a try.

Advertisement

For a limited time, if you prepay for three months of the service at $35 per month, you’ll get a 4K Apple TV included for free. That Apple TV costs $179 normally, so you’re basically getting a $74 discount on the box, plus three months of live TV. No brainer.


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

Last month, they offered our readers $10 off two year memberships, but this time around, you get a few more choices, ranging from a quick taste of the service to an extended commitment with additional savings:

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.

BEST HOME DEALS


DEWALT Drill/Impact Combo Kit + Bit Set | $165 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

If you do any serious DIY work around your house, a good drill and impact driver are table stakes. Today on Amazon, you can get a highly rated combo kit with both from DEWALT for the best price ever, plus a free bit set.

Advertisement

You’ll pay $165 for both products in today’s Gold Box, which is $14 less than the previous all-time low price on the combo kit by itself, without the bit set. Just remember that like all Gold Box deals, this one’s only available today, so don’t get screwed.



Japan Vacation Package | $2099+ | Gate 1 Travel | Promo code TZWCLJP

Japan can feel like half a world away…because it is. But a trip across the Pacific is surprisingly obtainable with the latest vacation package deal from Gate 1 Travel.

Advertisement

Starting at about $2100 per person (after promo code TZWCLJP, which saves you $460), you’ll get roundtrip flights, three hotel nights in Tokyo, and two nights each in Kyoto and Osaka, plus all of your transfers, including a bullet train between Tokyo and Osaka, which is a sight all on its own. And in each city, you’ll have the benefit of an English-speaking tour guide, plus your entrance fees are covered to all of the various sights your tour visits.

Dates are available from July through the end of the year, and trips are priced from LAX by default, but you can customize your departure city for an added fee. Just don’t forget to use code TZWCLJP at checkout to save.

Tacklife Outlet Tester | $5 | Amazon | Promo code QBK2WKE9
Photo: Amazon

Before you do any electrical work around the house, you might want to pick up this outlet tester for $5 with code QBK2WKE9. A series of three lights corresponds to a chart printed right on the device, telling you if the outlet is properly grounded, has reversed polarity, and more. It’s not fancy, but it’s cheap, and could save you from a nasty surprise.



Etekcity Light Timer | $9 | Amazon | Promo code DEALET01
Graphic: Shep McAllister

If you can never remember to turn off your lamp at night, or just want to make your home appear occupied while you’re away on vacation, this programmable digital timer outlet from Etekcity makes it easy. It’s not as smart as a Wi-Fi smart plug, but at $9 (with promo code DEALET01), it’s a whole lot cheaper.



Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor | $145 | Amazon
Graphic: Erica Offutt

Who has time to chop vegetables by hand? This Cuisinart food processor will make quick work of your kitchen chopping duties, and you can get it for $145 today, which about $15 less than usual. Your first duty: Use it to make homemade salsa.

Graphic: Erica Offutt

It’s hard to be away from your pets all day. This Petcube Bites pet camera will let you see, talk to, and treat your pets remotely via your phone. With sound and motion detection, this camera will double as a security system, by sending you push notifications when a disturbance occurs.

Advertisement

Today’s price on Woot is about $65 less than its Amazon price, so if you’ve been eyeing these, this price is something to drool over.



iOttie One Touch 2 | $13 | Amazon

iOttie One Touch XL | $11 | Amazon

iOttie Easy View 2 | $10 | Amazon
Photo: Amazon

iOttie has long made some of our readers’ favorite smartphone car mounts, and four different models are on sale this week for some of the best prices ever.

Advertisement

All four sale models are traditional dash mounts—no CD slot or air vent trickery here—so I’d recommend going with the former flagship, the One Touch 2. Its extendable arm brings the phone closer to your eyeline, and it only costs a couple bucks more than most of the other options.



Greenco Bidet | $23 | Amazon | Promo code I9ZAGADQ

A lot of people are reflexively appalled by the idea of a bidet, which makes no sense, because they’re amazing. Today on Amazon, you can score a Greenco Bidet attachment that will work with just about any toilet for just $23 with promo code I9ZAGADQ. That’s nothing for a product you’ll use just about every day. This deal could sell out any time though, so purchase or get off the pot.


If someone in your household eats all the tasty marshmallow bits out of the Lucky Charms box, leaving you with the cardboard-like cereal, your dreams have come true.

Advertisement

Amazon is selling this 3 pound bag of dehydrated marshmallows for just $20, the best price we’ve seen in a few months and within a $1 of this product’s historic low. Reviewers note they taste pretty much the same as the ones that come in the Lucky Charms box, and you can shovel these in by the fistful without the silly cereal taking up space



High Density Oxford Fabric Under Bed Storage Bag | $6 | Amazon
Graphic: Jillian Lucas

It may be an Add-on Item, but this storage case is only $6 and you probably need it more than you think. Store comforters, table clothes, curtains, and more, plus it easily folds up when you’re not storing anything in it.



Kobra Wi-Fi OBD2 Scanner | $12 | Amazon | Promo code WS86992L Plus 20% clippable coupon

Kobra Corded OBD2 Scanner | $13 | Amazon | Promo code ER2QNVZN
Graphic: Shep McAllister

The computer in your car is a treasure trove of information about gas mileage, engine performance, maintenance issues, and more, but without an OBD2 scanner, most can only communicate with you through the primitive language of dashboard warning lights.

Advertisement

Luckily, two such scanners from Kobra are on sale right now, including a wireless ones that syncs to your phone and work with third party apps to track and record anything and everything about your car.

The Wi-Fi one ($12 with code WS86992L plus a 20% clippable coupon on the page) will work with both iOS and Android, but there’s also an old-fashioned code checker on sale ($13 with code ER2QNVZN), if that’s all you’re really interested in.



Southern Spain Vacation Package | $1299+ with Flights | Gate 1 Travel | Promo code TZWAFSN

If this week’s Ireland and South America vacation packages didn’t quite fit the bill for you, could we talk you into Spain?

Wi-Fi Endoscope | $20 | Amazon | Promo code QI8OEDUV

Look, I get it, you don’t think you need an endoscope. And you probably don’t! At least right now. But the day will come—it could be in a week, it could be in 10 years—where you need a snake-like camera to look down a drain, or in the recesses of a car engine, or inside your air conditioning ducts, and you’ll be glad you bought one for $20 with code QI8OEDUV.

Advertisement

Dr. Meter’s Wi-Fi endoscope is a 720p camera with built-in LED headlights at the end of a five-meter, semi-rigid cable. At the other end of the cord is an included Wi-Fi module that that broadcasts live video to your phone or computer over, so you see what the camera sees. It also comes with three attachments (a hook, a magnet, and a mirror) that you can slip onto the end to peer around corners, or retrieve tiny items.

At this point, I feel like I should cover my bases and point out that this is not a medical device. Please, don’t put it inside yourself or anyone else. Otherwise, have fun. Thanks.

BEST LIFESTYLE DEALS

Full of boat cleaning equipment, inflatable fishing boats, tackle boxes, and more, this Gold Box is meant for anyone who’s heading to the nearest body of water as soon as the weather allows.

Advertisement

The stand out deals are on this iBobber Bluetooth Fish Finder, which is discounted nearly $30, and this four-person inflatable boat, which comes with aluminum oars and an air pump. That’s just skimming the surface though, so cast a line over to Amazon to reel in the rest of the deals.


Amazon’s in-house brands have been dominating the “wardrobe staples” category for a bit now. And if you didn’t know they had a women’s underwear and PJ brands too, you’re missing out. Prime Members can pick up undies and bras from Mae or PJ sets and shapewear from Arabella, discounted today only. It’s a great way to stock up on comfy clothes, without going to the store.



Mpow Foam Roller Set | $13 | Amazon | Promo code GZHLE25K
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Foam rollers are great for soothing aching muscles, and $13 gets you a hollow core and solid core roller today. One even nests inside the other for easy storage and carrying. I’d say that’s a better use of your money than 15 minutes at a massage parlor.



Cubii Jr. Under Desk Elliptical | $150 | Woot | Free shipping for Prime members, $5 for non-members
Image: Woot

Workout while you work with this under-desk elliptical machine. A refurbished one is listed at just $150 from Woot today, and unlike similar products we’ve posted in the past, this one tracks calories burned, time, stride, and distance. Plus, this lower profile machine is built so you won’t bump your knees on your desk while you pedal.

This sale will only last until the end of the day or until the product sells out, so don’t let this deal run away from you.

Nike has the perfect sale for those of us that need to update their workout wardrobe, because god knows how long you’ve had those leggings or basketball shorts for.

Preorder Super Straps | Kickstarter
GIF: Super Straps

Super Straps can’t save you from potentially getting seen wearing a backpack, but they can take away the physical pain.

Advertisement

Super Straps are brilliant little simple machines that create an arc under your backpack straps with a quick pull. It might not seem like it would do much at first blush, but the effects of greatly increasing the surface area over which the force is distributed are immediately noticeable.

I’ve been testing an aesthetically rough but functionally final prototype of Super Straps with my Cotopaxi Allpa with great results. Preorder for $49 and take a load off.

BEST MEDIA DEALS


Humble Gaming Comics Bundle | Humble
Screenshot: Humble

Humble’s ebook bundles don’t always hew close to Humble’s gaming roots, but this one certainly does. Pay what you want today for nearly $200 worth of digital gaming comics based on series like Assassin’s Creed, Dark Souls, The Evil Within, and even, uh, Tekken. The comics are all DRM free, but you’ll need to pay at least $15 to unlock all of them.


BEST GAMING DEALS


PlayStation VR Gran Turismo Bundle | $190 | Monoprice | Promo code PSVR115
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Update: The Doom bundle has sold out, but you can get the Gran Turismo bundle for $190 with code PSVR115.

Advertisement

If you still haven’t picked up a PlayStation VR system, Monoprice is running one of the best deals we’ve seen yet. Use promo code PSVR100 at checkout to get the headset, the camera, and a copy of Doom for $195, one of the best prices we’ve seen.

Just note that this bundle doesn’t include the Move controllers, which you’ll need for certain VR games.



Nintendo Switch Joy-Con (Neon) | $66 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

The Nintendo Switch is better with friends, so pick up an extra set of Joy-Con for $66 on Amazon. That’s only a few bucks off the regular price, but when it comes to first party Nintendo accessories, that counts as a notable deal.



Aukey XXL Mouse Pad | $13 | Amazon | Promo code AUKEYKM3
Photo: Amazon

$13 is cheaper than a lot of standard sized mouse pads, but today, that gets you a massive 3′ wide model that can accommodate your keyboard as well. Just be sure to use promo code AUKEYKM3 at checkout to save $4.



AmazonBasics Playstand For Nintendo Switch | $7 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

The Nintendo Switch’s flimsy kickstand only works at a single, steep angle, and the placement of the console’s USB-C port means you can’t charge it while it’s propped up on a table. This stand from AmazonBasics solves both problems for just $7, an all-time low.



Assassin’s Creed Origins | $30 | Amazon | PS4 and Xbox One

Assassin’s Creed Origins is largely a return to form for the series, and you can pick it up for just $30 on Amazon today for both PS4 and Xbox One. At the very least, you can use it as an interactive museum of ancient Egypt.



Humble Strategy Bundle | Humble
Screenshot: Humble

Humble’s newest games bundle is a boon for strategy fans. You can name your own price and download the likes of Endless Space, Planetary Annihilation: Titans, Empire: Total War, Tooth and Tail, and more. As always, the games are all DRM-free, and while you can name your own price, you’ll need to pay at least $12 to unlock them all.



Humble Monthly | $12 | Humble
Screenshot: Humble

The clock just reset on Humble Monthly, and next month’s early access games are Kerbal Space Program, Dead Rising 4, and Ruiner. As always, Humble Monthly is only $12 per month (or less if you prepay for longer time periods), and includes a cache of PC games each month, plus 10% off in the Humble Store, and extra benefits on certain Humble Bundles. The best part? Even if you cancel your membership, every game you add to your Steam library is yours to keep.

Advertisement

So if you sign up now, you’ll get the three aforementioned games, plus a bunch more when the month unlocks in early May, all for $12. I have to add, landing on Mun for the first time in Kerbal Space Program is a top 3 all-time gaming moment for me.
